I know it's just a simple re-paint and headswap, but I really like him. I might pick one up myself.

It's a nice looking Franken-Joe, to be quite honest. I'm having a hard time picturing him as Frostbite, though. He seems like more of an "arctic commando", faceless, troop-building type. Or Beach Head, I guess. (But to be honest, guys, speaking from personal experience, EVERY character would be wearing one of those masks in arctic warfare conditions!)

I was looking at the different Frostbites on Yojoe.com. This one looks like an improved one of the later versions.

Frostbite is one of those that has 2 or 3 radically different appearances thru the years.
I had made an Arctic Beachhead, I'll post pics later, and aside from the color differences, it's the same figure. But I like these colors and will probably get this figure. He'll be renamed to Glacier and be a new arctic Joe.

This Frostbite and the OG are the best. The others including the TForce look horrid. They almost look like Joe knockoffs. Along with them repainting Snow Job and calling him Frostbite. What were they thinking. This was one of my first figures that came with a vehicle.

thanks for the review and pics. i don't have (or want) the Arctic SE that this is almost entirely made from... so the "duplicate factor" is low on this for me. sure, it is kind of a cheapo move by the 'bro... but if this figure were not named Frostbite, and was presented as a brand new character (like 'Glacier' or something as suggested by Troynos), i might be on board with it.

You are welcome my friends!!

I find with most of the Joe head-swaps, that if you wanted to make this Arctic Beachhead, you would have to heat the head & refit it to fit snug, as it fits much to loosely as is, but as you can see it's a great combo!! |

Nice review, I want a few of these. Not for the frostbite figure but to use as custom fodder.
