Flint is at the top of my favorite Joe characters of all time. This figure is a very well done depiction of that character. I like the build, which makes him more of a hard case than the original seemed to be, but it still stays within the realm of it being the same person, just a more seasoned, grizzled version of him. The head, from Angel Forge, isn't bad, but I prefer making Flint with a removable beret (he was the first figure that I gave one to when that became a reality). The t-shirt torso is my go-to look for him now, but your choice in vest (is it a modded JoyToy one?) takes him over the top! The camo on the pants looks great, but like kuh rupht, I am drawn to the... boots, of all things. However, my reasoning for the boots getting noticed is that you actually took the time to paint the laces! Now that is bold, brother! I mean, I give mine a dry brushing, to get them to stand out, but you went all in, painting each section of the laces (though you may need to touch on the upper section of the left boot). The JoyToy gloved hands are a fantastic choice, having a lot more detail than other brands. I like that you have the necklace showing, but tucked under the vest. One thing that is missing in your pictures of this figure is a shot from the back, as you have him carrying all kinds of weaponry, which shows from the front shots, but it would be nice to see how it is configured on his back(pack?). Once again, your paints are precise and the colors perfect for the figure you've built.
