It's the companies logo! It doesn't matter what it is fiction, it still looks out of place because it's a real company logo on the chest of a figure. It feels like an ad.
If they called them gridiron soldiers and gave them a different logo, I'd roll my eyes and move on. It's just too much of real world company on a figure and featured very prominently in the name and the figure itself.Shoulder pad logo,not as big of a deal. If Joe did a Hasbro Commando: Weapons Supplier with the Hasbro logo in he middle of its chest or if another company had a big V on the characters chest, I'd be annoyed as well.This isn't a strictly girdiron thing (hence why I'm not in the gridiron thread). I need somebody to grab a picture of Classified GRUNT and a vintage O.G. 13 figure and enlarge the belt buckle for a point of reference.

That's the thing, I actually like the figure as well and based on the art in the background it should look good in color. I just don't like that it feels ore like an ad that an actual figure. If this were like a con or gridiron exclusive, I wouldn't care but this seems to be as close to mainline as a line like this can have

Okay, I am supposed to order this head for the figure that I can preorder later this year and will acquire in 2025, right?
This sounds snarky, but I do not intend for it to be read this way. I am just making sure I understand what is going on here before I order. |

So is it the placement of the logo or the logo being on the figure period. If it's about the logo being on the figure period, then you must have issue with the Classified GRUNT, (which has the "H," belt buckle,) and the O.G. 13 figures which have the "Hasbro House," and "H," as belt buckles.
The H on Grun is subtle and if the gridiron logo was on the shoulder or even just smaller on side of the chest like the cobra logo on the viper, it wouldn't be as distracting, It's why I compared it to an ad on a soccer jersey.

With wave 2 being fully pushed back to 2025, this could be 2026. Also why not just wait and get an extra run of heads made at the factory so they'll feel and fit the same as one that comes with the figure instead of 3d printed one.

Personally, I think this figure would fit in more with the soon to be publicly revealed Soldiers of Fortune line Fresh Monkey is doing. A gridiron specific figure would make more sense in that line with what they're going for and which consumers they're targeting with it.

Separating that (which he's showing he can't), it's simply a badass Skull logo with gears behind it, representing some killer-looking PMCs, that's put on the vest exactly where teams put unit patches and flags.

This really has nothing to do with my general feelings on Gridiron and their pricing. It’s the combination of the placement and the name. It’s just too much of what feels like an ad for a real company. An item like this makes more sense in Soliders of Fortune than Monster Force and this will make more sense when the line gets shown soon.
