Least fav 25th fig

Anyone have a LEAST favorite 25th figure?

I only own the two 5 packs plus Flint and single Snake Eyes. Of all I own, I seem to be least impressed with Duke. His head seems too small and his gun (while cool looking) doesnt seem to fit super well in his hands while he seems to far bent forward. I'm not thrilled with his bandolier either.

He does have one of my fav 25th features though, the holster with pistol.

Any negative reviews for following waves are appreciated.

I actually really dig Duke. He's got to be in my top 3 or 4, up there with V1 Snake Eyes, V1 Storm Shadow and Beach Head. But to answer your question, I despise Serpentor the most. The only thing I even remotely like about him is the broad sword. I also really dislike the V2 Storm Shadow. But, to be honest, I never liked those characters (I consider "Joe" Storm Shadow to be lame) or the old figures to begin with, so there might be an unfair bias built in there.

I love the 25th but...

Lady Jaye's head sculpt is kinda bad.

Serpentor's face and meh costume leave a lot to be desired.

The just changed heads on all the SE, SS and CC are kind of upsetting along with gloveless Flint.

Other than that...AWESOME!

Oddly enough I like V2 25th Stormy (I absolutely hate the original V2) But I do have to say that Serpentor takes the cake for lamest (and I actually like Serpy) The overall color is a little bland

See, that's just too picky for me. I love the 25th v2 Snake-Eyes, and I honestly don't have a single complaint about it.

As for the worst of the line, that's easily Serpentor. He's a weak design, weak sculpt, and weak character, so he's just made of lose.

Gung Ho.

Although it might be because I have a shoddy figure, but he can't stand well on the peg, his legs are floppy, his neck is loose, and he can't even hold the gun he came with.

except for the "suicide slashes" on duke's wrists, i like him much better than the "vintage" duke.
and i never view "joe" stormshadow as a joe. thats an arctic mission stormshadow to me.
