As I look at the pictures more and more I realize that my big hang up with it is the short tail boom. The front is actually kind of cool but being cheap on the tail absolutely gives it a Chap Mei vibe.

Yep. That's my thoughts too. If the tail extended out a little, I think it would have looked really cool cause the front does look nicely detailed. With the tail being so short, the exhaust shoots right into the tail.

@nighthawk, great pics! The thing that throws me the most about the pilot is the material he's made of and the vest. Especially the blue. It doesn't seem in sync with any of the other modern cobra figures I have color wise or the way in which it's so soft. Also, the details in the vest and the figure, like buckles and straps seem loose, not with the sharp detail of previous figures I have.
Maybe you guys with more experience can explain this evolution? Or maybe it's not a drastic shift? I did some side by sides in that video I made because it really bugged me and stood out. https://youtu.be/lSNCQxWdRa4?t=448

Thanks for the review NH!!!! Seems like this could have been a better figure if the sculpting and engineering was done better. I think if they kept the same engineering as the POC figures, then the sculpting would have made this figure feel more like a Joe figure. The sculpting probably would be less lanky and dis-proportioned if they were confined to the POC sized joint discs and pegs.
I just hope that whoever sculpted and engineered this figure do some self reflection and ask themselves if they can do it better next time. If not, then just pay BFS to do it. Hopefully, we will not get any more 4" Joe's like this, it it will definitely kill the line.

Yeah. One of the main reasons I bought this (other than impulse buy of any new Joe product) is the fact that I kinda regret selling my 25th Fang.
I do have to say this is NOT an improvement over the 25th ones in my opinion.

What’s funny is they spent new tooling bucks on the fig and Fang and this was the result.
