FLINT: ***** (5 out of 5) This is truly the ultimate Flint figure. Although strikingly similar to the Flint ‘85 v2 packaged with the GI Joe 5-pack #2, this Flint does have some slight variations which I consider a slight improvement to the stellar ‘85 v2 release. With this HoH Flint’s construction, he unfortunately does NOT have the new upper torso featured with the 5-pack Flint & has the original Duke upper torso. But he does have the new superior (more fitted) web gear, & the new backpack & shotgun that came packaged w/the 5-pack Flint. This Flint also has the original versions head cast in flesh plastic vs. the original’s painted head. This Flint also has the updated arms we saw w/the Tiger Force version. In color, the HoH Flint is near identical to the 5-pack version, except his bdu’s are painted to resemble the original 25th release (vs. the cartoon styled camo on the 5-pack), his belt is black, & his overall shirt/beret scheme is a bit more of a muted black then his previous 2 black shirt releases. He also has “muddy” weathered boots for this version (like the HoH BeachHead). Personally I think the 5-pack version should have been made in the ARAH animation green shirt/gray beret colors to offer more distinction between the 2 releases. He includes his original gun, pistol, the new shotgun & backpack from the 5-pack version (although this versions backpack has more painted details) & comes with the HoH gold stand. In my book this Flint is the definitive release, just slightly edging out the 5-pack version. |

This is the only HOH figure I bought and I agree. He is the best 25th Flint by far.
