FIREFLY: **** (4 out of 5) One of the best things about this HoH Firefly is that he is a new construction for the character. Although he has the traditional Firefly head & web gear for 25th, this Firefly is made with Snake Eyes (commando) arms & legs, as well as Viper's torso. Overall though, that makes him shorter than his previous versions & one of the shorter figures in the line... & because of the web gear he still has some minor head constraints. Rather than FF’s well known urban camo, he is painted a sold dark gray here for this release with some lighter parts painted on the lower legs. One of the BEST things about this verson is that he contains ALL of the previous releases gear, which the comic pack “Night Ops” FF had an abundance of. So you get both backpacks original & comic pack's storage version, the goggles, phone, 2 rifles, flashlight, dynamite, wire-cutters, gas can, pistol, & the HoH gold stand. Unfortunately, w/Snake Eyes legs, this means that he has a place for a knife, but does not include one, you can stick his pistol in there but obviously that is a misuse of the holster. Overall a great figure & one of the better of HoH for the different construction & gear alone, but still not as good as the definitive comic pack “Night-Ops” version imho.

I almost bought this one but he's just a lil too dark of camo. If it was alil lighter I would have jumped on it.

For me it was the new construction on Firefly that made him the most appealing out of any of the HoH, both him & the HoH updated Snake Eyes '85, although when I actually received them, my opinion changed somewhat in favor of some of the others...

wierd parts choices ~ i can't believe with all that gear they didn't give him a knife!!!
This should have been the RoC Firefly IMHO, we still haven't got a v1 Firefly in proper dark grey colors. the original is too light, the comic pack has the brown accents so you couldn't even combine the 2s gear...

This was probably the only one of the hOH I was thinking of getting, but those new pics of the TRU exclusive ROC version have me forgetting about that...

Yes the new ROC TRU one looks great!! The HoH Firefly is one of the best of the lot as he has a new construction & by far the most gear, so if you are a Firefly fan I can highly recommend him anyway as he is pretty unique!!

I love this Firefly because he is the only 25th Firefly that doesn't remind me of Beachhead. LOL. And I especially love the solid dark gray look... that's what made me buy him... except that his lower legs have some faint camo on them? What's up with that? If it weren't for that glaring flaw this figure would have been absolutely perfect to me. I wanted to replace his lower legs with Wave 1 Snake Eye's lower legs to try and fix that but his ones are a little lighter gray that FF's. *sigh*
