I know most probably hate Bench Press since he does look boring, but the only reason I got him was the chainsaw and hatchet! I am scratching my head as to why a guy like him would have a chainsaw and shotgun when he's, according to his file card, an assault rifle guy.
After opening the package I did notice he seems bulkier than the other ME type figures I've handled. (Although I heard he's made from other parts) Anyway, the reason I never got into the new figures was because they look way too thin and gangly (I suspect it's so they can use those vest and not look too big), but Bench Press looks more "solid". I mean his hand is twice as big as Tripwire's! No skinny chicken legs. No girly waist! I'm not saying every figure should look like they're on steroids, but they also shouldn't look like they haven't eaten for days. The shoulders joints don't look like he's hiding baseballs under his shirt. If more of the recent figures were built like him I probably would get more. I never looked too closely at the ROC figs. Are they pretty much the same as the 25th anniversary ones? Last edited by Mazinger; 01-26-2010 at 12:09 AM.. |

Well, Bench Press was half ROC Heavy Duty, half 25th Bazooka, so he's got some size going on there. (and was originally supposed to be Rock and Roll, but rumor is his name didn't translate well to the international market).
The ROC figures are close in size to the 25th stuff. Some exceptions are Sgt. Stone, Heavy Duty, Roadblock, and the Accelerator Suits. |
