I gave him a 10. I really appreciate what they've done with this figure. That they made him smaller is wonderful. I love his accessories and although they can be a bit much to get to sit properly on him, I am happy they included it all. Love his original figure as a kid and they made the perfect translation of that figure in Classified. He's one that I continue to look at in my shelf and he's next to some of my favorite figures in the line. The Classified line has made all my dreams come true with how great the articulation and sculpt are on these figures. I feel like I've run out of superlatives to fully describe my feelings with these figures.

Easily a 10. I would have liked darker-gray or black pants though.
I'm kind of over the gray in Classified. Everything is mid-tone gray. Have some cajones - commit to dark or light. Black would have made Tunnel Rat pop that much more. |

I feel like the Firefly from this same wave needed more dark charcoal or black on him too to break things up a bit (maybe on his gear and his boots and gloves and belts and holsters) and less light gray and flat normal/medium gray. Some charcoal and black here and there would have elevated his paint deco ever so slightly. I still really love that figure too. ((I'll be sure to mention this again when the Firefly poll goes up lol ))

I've tried, from the beginning, of these polls to be as objective to my subjectives as possible. Which, when I'm really excited, is a real challenge. In my mind if I have a nitpick (say dark grey pants instead of black on a favorite character) it's getting docked. Pretty sure I've yet to give a figure a perfect "10". The day I get a figure, sit it on a shelf, and feel it's PERFECT that figure will get a 10.
Nowadays I'll dock a figure a full point if released on an older pinned buck.

Landed at an 8. Build quality on mine is overall good, but neck is a little loose. Generosity with accessories was appreciated but he would be more to my liking if the flashlights could sink a little lower in the backpack and if the scope on his rifle had similar proportions to the original figure. Overall visual design was good, but he should have black trousers and the fact that he doesn't just makes me think they wanted something to differentiate between this release and his NF and possible eventual Retro designs.
These are all minor complaints. I like the figure overall. I wish they had made him look a little more like Larry Hama, but that would have just been a nice bonus. It's not a serious complaint for me. |

I went with 8.
I appreciate the shorter stature but the accessories on the upper torso are cumbersome. He takes a lot more work when posing. With his pants being more grey than black, it does make me wonder if Hasbro intentionally did this so they could potentially rerelease this with a more vintage deco on Retro Card. |

I was hoping before the render was revealed that he was going to have a Hama-inspired head sculpt. But like you said, it would have just been a bonus on an already really nice figure.

I gave him a 10. I think he is great. My only slight gripe is I wish his gear was a little more secure. When you pose him everything goes all over the place.

See, to me that gripe is worth almost a full point. Half a point minimum. A "10" figure is PERFECT.

I'm going to go 7, he loses several points for his equipment not sitting right plus his gun was terribly bent in the box. Otherwise I do like the coloring, the revolver is cool.
