I see no way how this is any higher than a 5.
First - no Joe except Snake Eyes should ever come with a masked head. Joes don't hide who they are. Unforgiveable in my eyes. Second - he's 90% a repaint of Destro. Too big, too bulky. Third - the vest overlay is just a lazy, lazy way to create a unique figure on a repainted base. Not a fan of the bulky vests on anyone... but this is easily the most offending vest in the line. I agree he really needed an alternate unmasked head. I think any Joe team figure that wears a mask in Classified should always come with an unmasked alternate head. Except for possibly Snake Eyes, though even he should come with one at some point with all the battle scars.

8. Would of rated him higher but there are some good points about not having an unmasked head or fire extinguishing effects. Still a good figure regardless.

Eh, with the Irish surname I don't think he should be tall but who knows. Went 8 here, mostly over the lack of a swappable, unmasked head. He's a good representation of the original look, but this felt like an opportunity to build on what was done in 1985 instead of just replicating it.

I don't think there's really anything to be built on as far as most of the original designs are concerned (save perhaps adding more mag pouches LOL). So many of these designs are so striking and so full of interesting sculpted details to begin with that trying to "build on" them seems like arrogance.

I gave him a 5. Would have liked an unmasked head, and I do think he is way to big for BBQ. Accessories are great, but the body is all wrong and without a stand he is a pain to stand up. I think they rushed this one out for some reason and could do it better. I only picked him up because of sale on Target.com with a BOGO 1/2 off deal. I know some love him, and great on you if so, just not for me so much.

There's like... nothing WRONG with this toy. He's cool. Well done. But like.... I just don't care about a Fireman in my elite military unit. I tried too, but I just don't.
