I picked up Heavy Duty and Helix on eBay for a pretty good price last week. The figures weren't complete, but I wasn't planning on using the missing gear, so I didn't mind.
Agent Helix Here is the gear I received with her... The big launcher and the sattelite will go in the fodder bin. The square rifle reminds of one of the prototype guns that was available in the Delta Force video games series, think they called it a G11. Her pistol is a very nice sculpt, with an extended clip, laser sight and a top rail sight. |

The sculpting on the figure is top notch. She is fully articulated without a loose torso like some Scarletts had or the odd hips/ mid torso that the early Baroness had. The hanging pouches on her hips do not interfer with the hip articulation. Helix is slightly taller than the Scarlett/Glenda figure and roughtly the same height as the 5 pack Lady Jaye, due to Helix's heeled boots. The only down point to this figure I see is I may have to repaint her eyes, she has a little too much eyeliner on. |

Heavy Duty
I originally bought him to use for a custom figure I was building, but I may pick him up when the movies figures are released to make a RAH style HD. For some reason, I prefer the desert uniform to the woodlands version, the tans help break up all the green on the first figure. The figure includes a removable vest and belt with his initials on the belt buckle. The build is very similar to the 25th Anniversary Bazooka, not fat, but stocky, built like a linebacker. His heck articulation is limited in the up down movement. The likeness is very close to actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, AKA Mr. Eko on LOST. |

The figure include a gun that appears to be a combination of a SAW with a grenade launcher attachment, it looks more like a weapon from the Aliens universe. His ammo pack actually straps onto him instead of pegging into the hole in his back. The pack also has his initials on it, I guess he's territorial about his gear. |

Thanks for sharing. I initially did not like Helix when pics surfaced of her. Im really liking her now thanks to your good camera skills. Im definitely picking her up along with HD.

My thoughts exactly. She's got Dreadnok written all over her.

I'm just glad that HD doesn't look as mutant-like as the earlier pics had him looking.
