Thanks guys. I've been getting these out to get other excited about these new figures. Also I want to give people an idea of what older available parts can be most effective.

This one surpised me at how well it turned out, since it was really just finding the right head to fit the MTF helmet and retro neck. The photo was stripped of color first to get beyond the painting/colors and focus in on the sculpt and parts. Then I snuck back in color to soften the image a bit.
With Graves, I feel it needs to be as basic as possible for the ultimate Grunt. That means the basic parts and body have to be well done to carry the figure. Hasbro succeeded here by giving strong balanced body proportions and sharp looking cloth textures. The webgear is also excellent, fits well on the body and is not too bulky nor too thin.
Below is the same photo in true black/white and in color. Head is repainted Resolute Duke, helmet is MTF. Colors are all Tamiya (Flat Flesh, D Green, NATO Brown).

I just bought 2 more (total 4 now). Guess I'll have to do some soul searching this weekend. LOL!!

I'll admit, part of what's driving me with all these OG13 Retro posts is trying to convince you to go Nu Retro with the OG13. Others too, I wanna get you on the same page with me here (usually we are). And you don't need to give up your POC version, just make both! We've got time, Hasbro needs to get a few more Nu Retro OG13 figures out themselves. Right now, I'm staying away from Flash, Grand Slam, and Steeler until at least one more Hasbro release (unless I get a really really really good concept build idea).
I'm assuming you have both POC and Retro figures on hand now to physically compare them side by side, but below is a quick shot of Stalker in POC, 25th and Retro forms for comparison, mostly stripped of color (~10%) so that you all can focus on the sculpts and builds. Definitely pros and cons to all, so keep all them. This was taken two weekends ago when I first found the figures, and helped convince me to buy in. More notes and full color will be posted in the general build overview thread, once it's my turn for new info (my last post may have been a bit overload).
