My Recondo was as firm and tight as could be. I don't think his loose issues are as widespread as Firefly was, which seemed like it was 50/50. Judging by your poll's results, it looks like 80% of the Recondos out there are fine (if you lump the votes for moderately tight, fine and just gummy weapons together).

Nailed it. I loved TF Recondo and wasn't sure if I'd like this one as much, but it's great.
I will say that if you open Duke and Scarlett first it's disappointing that he doesn't have extra hands, but that wouldn't have been an option anyway, so I won't hold it against him. |

He is a perfect 10 to me minus those boots
the 25th had actual jungle boots Arah had low cut pants elastic type on the bottom w/boots i liked that version This one i love ,i do ?..minus the boots that is my biggest nitpick w/this line is the choice of boots or shoes what have ya , and some of the body swaps . Arah Recondo was a bday gift from a good friend that died 6 months later so this character owns a unique place in me , along w/flash ver1 and SE ver1 the first joes my dad bought me..

I gave him a 9. I decided to pass on the TF Recondo, because this is the one that I wanted and decided to pass on TF for the most part. I think he came out great and I have fond memories of the having he original as a kid. I like his accessories, although not coming with all the extras that Duke and Scarlet came with sticks out. He's a fun figure to have. Oh, and mine does have the floppy torso, which is why he lost a point.

I definitely prefer this version of Recondo over the TF one. Been looking forward to getting him since the TF Recondo came out over a year ago! Funny we got TF Outback and TF Bazooka only about 5 months before their classic versions, but we had to wait like 4 times as long for Recondo lol I really hope we don't have to wait 18 months for classic Rip Cord or Crazylegs.
I always wanted Recondo as a kid but never had him until years later with the 2009 ME figure and the original o-ring when I finally re-collected the whole ARAH run between 2016-2018 and got him. Great design and this is a great update. He's a 10 for me.

I just got mine. Awesome fig! I think I would have preferred a backpack a bit more like the original, but that's a pretty minor nitpick. 9/10.

Oooh, that's a good point I forgot about this one! I think I would have preferred the handle on this one too.

Some visored helmets would be cool too. I know some third parties are starting to do this, but it'd be much nicer (and cheaper, I'm sure) to see it done officially. Kind of like what Mattel did for their MOTUC line. That said, not really complaining, I'm fine with most of these figs (especially Recondo) as is!
