Probably one of the most anticipated figure of Wave 10, and my personal favorite of the wave, Mutt and Junkyard are excellent upgrades to the line. Not to say that this figure does not have flaws, which we will get to.
The figure's upper half is a Viper body, with new forearms. Brand new head too. I don't recognize the lower half, but I could be wrong, feel free to correct me. The thighs certainly look as if they came from another figure and not designed for this torso ( as I know they weren't designed for the Viper) as they stick out very far from the waist, which is the first minor flaw of the figure. Think a reverse muffin top. The lower legs I also can't place but look like they may be used in the upcoming Duke for next year. Mutt comes with a helmet with movable and detachable muzzle, a removable vest, a machine pistol and a night stick. All are great, except for the muzzle. It sticks out too far and doesn't stay in place well. Again, this is a minor gripe, as it still looks pretty cool. And naturally included in this set is Junkyard. Junk comes with a leash and well, junk. I'm not kidding, they gave the dog junk. A very nice upgrade to the vintage figure, the dog looks realistic and menacing. Overall, I loved this figure, and so does my girlfriend...she nabbed it from me and it is now perched on her desk. FIGURE RATING: 9 out of 10

I think the lower legs are bazooka legs modified by a holster. I swapped bazookas legs to a roadblock once and I wound with the same thunder thighs effect.

One of my favorites as a kid. Awesome review!!! I love it...Junk has junk....LMAO.
Tell your girlfriend to get her own....it only gets worse when you get married. "I do" becomes a binder for everything from there on out!

I like the look of this figure - the muzzle looks a little better than I thought seeing your head-on shot.
I wonder how well it will work if the upper legs are swapped out for thinner ones. I hope the knees will fit on different legs.
