I'm disappointed to see Hasbro just shunting-out the 25th Anniversary figure and feel they could really have done something special with this toy. Even a camo-recolour would have been something... That Figures: REVIEW: GI Joe Jungle Assault Blowtorch

I like your reviews but I don't really understand this one. You hate the figure through the whole review but then give it a B-. Not sure I get that.

also, there is a running change coming so that should fix the rehash problem.

Well since i missed out on the 25th Blowtorch, i got this one and man, your not alone on the loose torso bit, i've went through 2 of them and my 3rd is still not that good, but it will do. Overall, BT is nice, but still restricted with his gear, but for being a flamethrower what do you expect, just not sure i agree with him fitting in with the Jungle theme, but what the hell i like him.

As a functional toy, it just about works. It's the design I really dislike.

See my above comment. I try to judge stuff both technically and design-wise and it's much more the design-side of it I find lacking. Technically/production wise it's not bad. Just not inspiring.

I saw that seconds after the Review went live, so I added an update with the image of the new one. I'm happy and annoyed simultaneously to see that, as I do think it looks much better but now it means I have to buy the same figure again! GAH!

As for the Jungle Assault thing, there is - as mentioned - a green/olive/brown revision coming out, which looks more like it. I still wish they'd really gone to town and done some kind of modernisation of the character though...

I think those factors bring him up above the many annoyances present on the PoC (and the 25th) Blowtorch.
