So far, I think everything looks really good and is well done, but they're not necessarily must haves. Hopefully Stalker and Crystal Ball are the same quality.

No complaints here. Not really a requested figure for me, but I will take it.

Agreed.

I just looked side by side with the vintage. Maybe better legs would have given him a bit more pop, but he is a good me version.

Yes, it does look like the original, but the clubs version is being sold as a premium figure. For improvements I'm not really digging the clubs color choices for the arms & legs on the preview and I would have gone several shades darker to be more realistic, but the ones they showed should look better once the figure is in hand.

I know its not feasible but I would have loved for the head & neck of the figure to be better done cuz he is gonna have a giraffe neck, and to fix it would need modding and add me to the chorus of people that hate the idea of modding $30+ figures.

But he is what he is, a modern update of a classic figure and I just hate the fact that club is charging so much extra $$$ for this sub over previous subs and the quality isn't there for me. I know other figures from the sub will be better and more popular, but I was looking forward to this one.

Because you only have one chance to leave a MARK.... a SKID Mark....



I'll just see myself out now...

Looking at it some more, I'm actually not even sure how well the parts will look together. He's using the 25th OG13 style torso and the SE legs used, I have a feeling will not go well with the texture from the torso, but thankfully that is covered by the vest. However, those arms are made for a bulkier body so I don't know if it even fits on that torso, but again, it's covered by the vest at least.

So why are they so faithful to this guy's rah figure, but then take liberties with Dusty?

[axonrey]

The fact that this is vintage accurate and totally sucks speaks to why it shouldn't be in the line up. I think even the most pedestrian of customizer could replicate this satisfactorily. Personally, i prefer every custom I've seen to this figure.

That head fits very well on that torso. No modding is needed. Check out this thread. There are multiple customs that use that combo:

Oh yeah. You are right. It's the 25th Beachhead torso, and not the POC SE/ DG SW/ 50th BH torso. Now I'm starting to dislike this figure more. I may just stick with my custom as the Ultimate version of this figure.
