So the Retaliation Trooper does not appear to be movie accurate. He also seems to have more in common with the POC/30th figures that the Retaliation figures. So...who or what was he originally supposed to be? His head sculpt is pretty specific for a troop builder.
Does anyone think he might have been a POC like update for a classic character? Maybe a POC Grunt? I'd love for someone at Con to ask about his development. |

The headsculpt is Sideshow Beachhead.
The regular helmet is the "Master Chief"- in the same vein as other borrowing POC favorites like "Aliens" Duke, and "Predator" Spirit, Shadow Tracker, Firefly, etc...

Ret Trooper headsculpt + 3pk Beachhead body + Ren Tunnel Rat scarf + Steel Brigade vest = my new favorite figure.
The patch on his right shoulder is icing on the cake. Pics when I get to work.

Just a generic MW3 figure...the mohawk speaks volumes to the audience it was grasping for...I prefer the halo head...the cape is for the AD&D fans its +2 to stealth and +1 fire resistance(tan) and the (blue) is +1 frost resistance and +3 HP

Bradley Maddrox(another board member) and I were discussing this while out on our Retaliation hunt this morning,
To us he's "just not generic enough" to be NOBODY.. we just got a few diffrent Steel Brigades for Green Shirts So he needs a name.... DOC |

I was thinking of doing the Ret. 3-pack Beachhead with Steel Brigade vest kitbash too, but I think you need the turtleneck collar to pull that look off. Never thought to use Ren. T-rat's scarf.
