I dunno I don't think it looks right with the eel mask, heres a pic I made for another post...
I got one from Alyosha back when as soon as we found out he did not have his proper helmet. So here's a comparison of my custom wetsuit with Alyosha's diver helmet and an eel helmet...

It's probably pointless, but I'm still holding out that Hasbro will fix/improve the Wet-Suit figure, since they did switch from Torch/Airborne legs to Hawk Legs on the Hit-N-Run figure, which in my opinion looks better.
If not, hopefully they'll get it right with a single-carded release early next year, because I'd like to see the silver colored Mission Brazil version of Wet-Suit come with the DevilFish. Yeah I know, I'm wishy-washy, but if Hasbro fails us, at least we have Alyosha for a backup plan. |

Really? Did you hear this somewhere or is it just a guess? If it's just a guess, I gotta say I think it's a damn good one!

The fact that its a wet suit repaint is an insult.
Couldn't they have given him the Scott Bakula head and a new helmet? |

In fact, aside from the Alley Viper, all indications I've come across point to nearly ALL of these figures as being intended for comic packs/vehicle sets, which typically very few new parts to begin. In the case of Wetsuit, as said, he was initially intended as a Duke variant which probably would have seen a release later in the year with new parts to make a more accurate Wetsuit figure. But with the movie, those plans got scrapped. I'm sure Hasbro would have used the Eel mask, but we don't know what the situation was with the molds. We've seen already that Hasbro only has so much control when and where some parts are used. Sometimes, a part or figure is tied up in another production run and just isn't available. And we know Target is getting a set with the Eel, so the mask might not have been available.

Easy, so HasClown can sell us a same character over and over again without us complain about repaint. Just like Flint, and Duke.
I will pass on Joe 7 pack due to the big disappointment with Recondo and Wet suit. |

i agree they should of made a new mold and just done it right in the first place but taking a eel helmet and customizing it isnt that hard, but you have to waste a eel in the process i guess.
