I got the four new figures last night. I pleased with how they turned out.
It's the same body but in new colors. The Commander figure has totally unique colors, with a brighter green than "Commando", a lighter brown, and different paint masks than "Commando," with the laces area of the boots colored and the belt colored. The patrol cap is non-removeable but looks great. I would have loved a silver Colonel rank on the PC, but this is fine. The three troops have very nice new heads. I was surprised that the brown haired one is different than "commando". The helmets pass the "upside-down and shake" test but probably would fly far if dropped on a hard surface. The two-tone green looks very cartoonish and they share the same brown trim paint masks as "Commander" These are great figures but do suffer a bit from having identical bodies and weapons. Cost-saving, I know. But I don't know if I'll pick up any more figures with this formula...six is enough. But in my mind, I now have good Colonel Hawk, V1 Snake Eyes, and Grunt figures to go well with post 1985 Joes and have some good cannon fodder for Cobra to hit. I recommend these figures for anyone who is craving a good O-ring figure. These are well made and solid. I absolutely cannot wait for my Navy figures! |

Do you know when they're coming out? I can't wait to have a ground crew for my Flagg. Ketchup, Mustard and Relish. I think I ordered two of each.

Got my greenshirt today. My initial impressions:
Positive: Fits in seamlessly with vintage figures. Love the added swivel wrists. The 2 tone green really makes the figure pop and looks faithful to the cartoon version. I love the ribbed commando sweater look. Great face sculpt (I have the brown hair version) Helmet fits snug Like the weapons he comes with, well done and detailed Comes in a baggie, keeps packaging costs down Needs improvement: He lacks trapezius muscles. The top of the torso is just to flatly horizontal, looks unnatural. Details are a bit soft on his legs, eg no button or zip on his leg pouches, boot laces are just hinted at Nitpicking, but the silver rivets really stand out. I fixed this with a black marker on the 'snake eyes' figure, don't know what to do for the greenshirt. Overall, I'm happy with him. I replaced his helmet with a Marauder knit cap and he looks great next to my vintage Joes! |
