I dunno. For me, it wasn't so much about the paint apps. The problem with the head is he just looks a little too grizzled for Falcon. That's why I think it makes a better Grunt.

That does look good! Hopefully the skin tones match.

I gave him a 4. That head sculpt is so bad that it completely ruins the figure in my eyes. The very muted camo is also a huge miss and feels like it does not even exist. He's easily my least favorite Classified figure and it's not even close. I really liked his original figure and this figure besmirches the Falcon name completely. His accessories feel only okay to me.

How can some random guy on Etsy have a better Falcon sculpt than Hasbro? SMH.

Given that he was one of my favorite ARAH figures, I was disappointed in the execution here as well. The muted cameo and the face sculpt were poorly done.

Team America meets Thunderbolts- fuck yeah! 4 out of 10 for his weird, creeper vibe looking plastic face and incorrect uniform down to the boots. 5 out of 10 with a corrected head or Dusty with his face paint removed.

O-ring Grunt/Grand Slam had a similar misfortune as all those newscasters whose careers were killed by HDTV.

Used to feel the same way about Grunt and GS's mugs as a kid. Over the years, I've developed a soft spot for the sculpt as it reminds me of Michael Ironside, one of my favorite genre actors:

Falcon is one of my very favorite Joes, and this figure, absolutely sucks.
