Not a problem Dod Ear, glad to be of help.

That looks great to me. Thanks for putting that together. The helmet doesn't look that bad.

this exactly!
too bad the club just went with the lazy repaint this time
we know they can do better because they have

Overall, I like it - and I think I'll like it a lot more as it grows on me.

I understand the disappointment for you fellas who feel who see it as a far cry for the ARAH V1. Trying to do Samurai / American military combo effectively is pretty hard to get right given the available parts catalog. So, it seems like they leaned on the Samurai design said with correct V1 colors.

On the positives, the head sculpt looks great (both this and Jinx are a vast improvement over the last con set) and I am extremely thankful they didn't go with the cancelled ROC design of a repainted Storm Shadow V28.

Attention Club - this is free to you... easy fix. Swap the legs for 50th Steel Brigade legs. Paint closer to original green.

The original helmet is much better... but I'd take just the leg adjustment. Wouldn't cost the club anything. Just a different part to use.

Even the Nunchuck legs, which we know fit that torso and are available, would be better.
