I know I'm 6 months behind, but I finally caved and got this guy from hasbrotoyshop. The figure looks great, but the play factor really blows. I spent an hour dremeling and cutting the lower part of the upper arm to try to get a bigger bend in the elbow. I think I only got about 2 degrees more after all that work. Then I realize that the vest prevents him from holding the flamethrower in the right hand in a two hand pose. If I put the thing in the left hand, like the card art, the hose comes off because it is meant to attach to the right side of the backpack. Ironically, the legs have great poseability. Can anyone post a pic of him holding his weapon properly?

Yes, worst figure in the line so far. I'll take 5 diaper crotch Dukes over this turd (and no, that's not an offer to trade).

Yah, he's just like Wave 9 General Hawk; awesome looking, but can't hold a real weapon in any meaningful way even if his life depended on it. LOL. I would much rather have a nice figure that only looks good in one non action pose than an awesome posing figure that looks like crap though. Not every figure can be Resolute Duke. LOL.

GO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! GET THE HELL OUT YOU IDIOTS! Edit: If you have no idea what I'm talking about, search "porkchop sandwiches" on youtube.

I like the fella. My mother came over and visited the wife and kiddos and I and my brother was there. She wanted to look at the "toys" I was "spending" money on. I take her to my office and while looking she noted that blowtorch head looks like my brother when he was in high school and had hair. My bother and I looked at and it made for a good laugh cause indeed it look like him.

I don't know what bugs me about him more... his crooked head, or the fact that mine has one stretched knee joint.
