Released in April 2021 as part of Wave 4, Flint is certainly a well-done figure, though not without his faults. For the most part Classified fans like this figure, but there are some fans that would probably like Hasbro to eventually revisit him, perhaps as part of the retro line. Note that Flint's web gear harness has a nifty holster on the back so he can store his shotgun.
Flint comes with the following gear and accessories: a shotgun rifle, a removable beret and a pistol. Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

Not a fan of the Flint's narrow head or that damned shotgun...or the fact that the shotgun holster is permanently attached to the back of his vest.

I'll give him a 7. He's slightly better than Lady Jaye in the face sculpt department and I like the paint on his shotgun, although I wish they had used a version of the shotgun closer to the original. I understand the desire to update the look of these character, however the flak vest really hinders his torso articulation, and that's my biggest issue with the figure.

Hes good, but how many of us are going to buy a 2nd new Flint on the TF Recondo body with new web gear. So for that reason i voted 4.

Outside of his hindered articulation, I like him. He says "Flint" and that's good enough for me.
Feel like swapping his head on Falcon and Falcon's head on Flint, though. |

Flint was one of those figures that felt like a game-changer from the first time I saw him on the back of a card. This version takes him down a notch because they messed with a classic. And, his mug just doesn't make me think of Flint. 6.

He's a 7 in my book. Solid C- work. He could have been a better figure, but it's a case of less is more. Goofy and unnecessary body armor, gummy and cockeyed greaves, and, of course, that stupid shotgun. I removed the offending items from my Flint and upped my satisfaction to about 90%.

Probably the best figure that somehow still is a disappointment. I give him an 8... but Flint was always a favorite of mine - so I really hope we get a second attempt at him. I want a non-vest version. With a headsculpt that doesn't look like it's based on Shrek's human version from Shrek 2.

I gave him an 8 stock out of the package. But after some improvements I did (made his vest webgear straps like the '85 figure, gave him Recondo's arms, gave him Outback's legs and repainted them and also repainted the boots) I would give him a solid 9. His headsculpt doesn't bother me at all either.

I went with 7.
He is above average but definitely middle of the road between average (5) and outstanding (10). This is when Classified had the right idea, updated looks of vintage designs. And of the more NERF styled weapons of the earlier waves, the shotgun was way better than the rest. I think there is a great version of Flint that can be kitbashed between this one and the eventual Retro release. |
