Like all exclusives Bench Press is made up of reused parts. He has the head of Clutch, Bazooka’s torso and arms and jungle Heavy Duty’s legs. It appears that they kept the same paint apps on the legs as they had for Heavy Duty so Bench Press also has a black knee pad on one knee. He has a tattoo of a bullet belt on one forearm that looks like an old slightly faded tattoo. Bench Press has a lot of reused parts too. His hat came with the Pit Commando but this time it’s in a green camo color. The axe is a black handled version of the Crimson Viper’s axe. The chainsaw is a darker version of Buzzer’s chainsaw. The Shotgun is a black version of the first 25th Flint’s shotgun. The backpack is a green version of Airborne’s and the missile launcher is the same as jungle Heavy Duty’s missile launcher but it has a different missile and no ammo belt. Bench Press comes with Chainsaw, Axe, Shotgun, Backpack, Hat, Missile Launcher with Missile and GI Joe Stand.
I like it when Hasbro can take various figure parts and make a whole new figure and it actually works. This figure is a good generic figure for any collection or dio. For the customizers, you can use the body for a Sgt. Slaughter and the head can go on to a Breaker custom. Figure Rating: 8 out of 10 Last edited by Shogi; 08-31-2011 at 06:18 PM.. |

It reminds me of Gerard Butler, Captain Price, and he looks like a bad ass Infantry Specialist. But, the weapons are a bit low: A SPAS-12 Shotgun and a Chainsaw? I wish they've gave him an Assault Rifle with a Grenade Launcher or a Heavy Machine Gun (That is accurate down to the scale of course).
I give him a 9.5

Nice shots Shogi! I like this figure & find him a nice unique combo, but his weapons choice makes him look like he's fighting in "Zombieland"... more than going after Cobra. lol. He (like Firefly) is one of TRU's best exclusives. I had a fresh case to pick from earlier this week & couldn't snatch him up fast enough!! He's on my main ROC extended off-screen team now with Sgt. Stone (red beret), Flash, Helix, Kamikura & a few others! Great figure!

i also gave him a nine. but to me he stands as more of big brawler to me, i wonder if he was to be big brawler and Hasbro must have mess up somewhere and was to be rock&roll, but in the long run thank god its not, rock & roll looks like nothing of him
