Thank you for the review, and the detailed pictures. And a special thanks for not making it a YouTube video.
I'm not really sold on the figure itself. Liking it a lot less than i expected. The colour especially is just off. I might stick with my old kitbashed one, but we'll see. New headsculpt is cool, but I always really liked the 25th version. This one *might* have a slight edge, but if so, not by much! Just wish it had more downward movement, but that's an easy fix, I guess. But in any case, it's really nice to have a new modern era fig to enjoy. It's been a while. Edit: One thing I forgot to mention that doesn't look better in hand is the waist--too skinny. This was probably my biggest complaint when I first saw pics and, as I say, it's no better in hand. The 25th version definitely has him beat in this department. But oh well, it's not going to be noticeable from the cockpit.

Yeah, i might change my mind, once i'll have it in hand. But it seems to be a little too bright for my taste.

On an unrelated note, one other nice thing about this guy is that he fits in older, pre-25th HISSs like my HISS III (one of my favorite versions). Definitely wouldn't mind seeing this guy done up in blue as Rip-It!

The waist and generally smaller build almost make it look like a female HISS driver in some ways.

Thanks for the review. I think I'll likely pass on it. Based on his wide stance, I don't even think he'll fit in the HISS tank. I like how he looks though, but it's just not enough for me to get it.

He does fit in the HISS. And not just the new version with the modified cockpit. He fits in the original HISS mold as well. Cockpit closes and everything.

I got a couple more so I'll try some Dremel work this week to get him to stand with a normal stance.

My new HISS drivers didn't come with a figure stand at all. Am I alone in this?

I think it's hidden in the turret or something like that.
