They've kept their Flash 1.0 figure in nice condition! Some of the pre-swivel arm battle grip figures did not age so well.

Here you've got 4 dudes wearing berets you would think for the military an entity that prides itself on uniformity no two berets are formed the same.

First LT FALCON wearing "The Catalog," it's formed but looks just like it did in the picture in the catalog.

Second DIALTONE is sporting "The Over Formed." He stretched it so far to the right that it's now misshapen, (this is the right way).

Third is pretty boy FLINT with the "Fashy Slant," where yeah he shaped like catalog it but wanted the overformed so puts it on and pulls on it so hard with his right hand that it pulls the left side too far up.

Last you've got the "Right Out The Box," and this is where G.I. JOE nailed it, because they put it on the freaking general! I think generals are required to not shape their berets or something because I've yet to see one do it.

Leave it to the one enlisted guy out of the bunch to form and don his cover most accurately.
