I guess if I’m being constructive and I am going to assume the sculptor was TRYING to emulate the old Gerry Anderson puppet shows of the 60s, maybe widen the eyes more, make the head more bulbous, and turn Falcon’s eyebrows into small ferrets.

Falcon is not far off. Skinny up the face just a bit - smooth out the wrinkles - and remove the lipstick. I think he could be a bit brighter green too...

Constructive question riding the criticism,
Which Power Ranger Figure will be a good swap for Falcon?

1. Please stick with realistic headsculpts. CoverGirl looks great but her head looks cartoony. Also please review headsculpts for "derp" factor...almost all the faces look great but Flint and Falcon both need revision.
2. Please stop including shotguns as the only accessory on "realistic military" characters. At least re-issue the Crimson Guard M16 with characters like Flint or Falcon. They just don't make sense as shotgun-toting characters. 3. If the character's going to have `nam/80s style web gear, please sculpt the pouches in a "realistic way" -- give them magazine and grenade pouches. Not tiny little pouches that only hold their car keys. 4. I LOVE that most of the characters have storage for all their accessories either in holsters or pegged onto their backpacks. Please, please keep doing that. It's great! 5. Please consider issuing a "weapons pack" that has a pelican case or crate for storing extra accessories. 6. Consider sculpting LBEs/LBVs/Tac Vests in a way so that they're removable if they're an accessory piece. 7. The Crimson Guard's head movement is amazing. I don't know if its possible to give everyone that level of movement...but if you can, that would be amazing. 8. Packaging - do whatever you want. I order everything online, open it and recycle the packaging. 9. Artwork - consider including small (A4 sized) prints of the artwork with figures. Its great and I want to keep it but not in box form...or plan on releasing an art book or drop ship prints at some point. Please avoid going down the cartoony/anime art route and keep the propo & realistic styles. 10. It would be just plain fun to see an old-school style "buy `em all" cross promo checklist of all the figures released so far, even if only digital. 11. Specific figure requests: Medical Team - Doc, Lifeline and Stretcher with a solid selection of medical accessories - backboards, IVs, O2, etc. 12. Reuse the missle racks from the HISS haslab to make an MMS and sell it to us as a towable in both cobra black and GI joe green. 13. Small vehicles plz SHARC or maybe even a wolverine for CoverGirl to drive. 14. I got a Serpentor so I'm happy as a clam but for those that didn't...maybe consider limiting pulsecon exclusives to repaints so there aren't sour grapes over missing out on a mainline character. You fixed the issue with Target exclusives by making them subteam repaints, just do the same with Pulsecon. 15. I like the "JoePros." Haters gonna hate but comms are basic fighting kit. "Shoot, Move, Communicate" is a thing for a reason. 16. I love Cover Girl's wrench accessory. Maybe a tad unrealistic but really tells her story and MOS.

Also, I like the idea of GI Joes from different eras, at least for the pure "military" characters (eg: Not Bazooka or others with timeless unique designs).
It would be interesting to see a Falcon who's era-accurate `80s Green Beret, a Dusty who's era-accurate Desert Storm, Stalker from GWOT, etc. Don't time-shift the joes back to WW2 or anything but just take iconic looks from different eras and different kit and embrace it. October Guard would also be some fun figures to see. |

Then again, it would be maddening with distribution the way it is. They'd probably pack the crucial piece in a Target Exclusive. |

Another form of the 'buy 'em all' promo - I'm really surprised they haven't done a Build-A-Figure in the line yet. Or, better yet - a 'Build-An-Accessory'.

A "build an accessory" wave that built the Checkpoint Alpha diorama would be outstanding...but I suspect we won't see anything like that until collectors stop buying the entire wave. My guy instinct is that there aren't that many pegwarmers out there to justify the cost of a build-a-fig promo.
