For those that don't like the changes to the traditional look, there's always the Sgt Stone figure:

I like this Flint. He's the Ultimate Flint in my eyes.
Anybody planning on giving him short sleeves? |

I'm fine with him. Now I just need one so I can cancel my urban set preorder.

It's cool that people like this Flint; the funny thing is, when the 25th line first started, people HATED the single-carded Flint that came out (with the sleeves on the forearms), and the boards were rife with complaints. I guess I'm more surprised than anything that a figure that looks just like that original 25th Flint is now drawing compliments from people. Also, beyond the turtleneck, I'm not sure what else this Flint brings to the table that hasn't already been done.
I can understand the new Beachhead (even if the changes are minimal), and the upcoming Destro and Lady Jaye seem like they have important enough changes to warrant a purchase. And the recent Ultimate Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow were dramatic improvements over the 25th versions. But this Flint just seems lackluster and unnecessary. How about an updated Wet-Suit or a Motor Viper with the correct paint apps? As far as that Sgt. Stone figure, it's okay, but Hasbro's already released a couple of definitive Flints, IMO. Anyway, it's just one fewer SDCC exclusive I have to chase. Last edited by gingaio; 07-20-2014 at 12:36 AM.. |

Love the Flint. Just wish I have a chance to get it. If anyone wants extra Eels and Night Landing crafts and ends up with an extra Flint and Vamp, please let me know.
As for beach head, his vest is too short. Wish they gave him a belt as well.

I had issues with the 25th Flint. I wasn't too bothered with the long sleeves. They just had crappy range of motion. We've gotten other short-sleeve Flints since then, so I don't feel this version needs them. I think the sculpt just looks sharper to me. The Hall Flint is great, so I don't think this Flint is an absolute must. But I think it's crazy to say he doesn't look great. Certainly that Beachhead isn't a larger "upgrade" than this Flint.

I see a peg on the back of Flint's webgear. Makes me think it's for a holster for his shotgun that just wasn't on this figure.

That said, I'm happy with the Beachhead I already have, but I feel I have more of a reason to pick up the new one. The new Flint's head sculpt looks fine, but so were the previous ones (except for yelling Flint)...it's really a wash. The turtleneck underneath the shirt is a really odd design choice (does this mean he's rolled up his sweater sleeves underneath his shirt sleeves?), and the sleeves on the forearm just make it different from the original Flint design, and not necessarily better. Comparing it to all the previous Flints, I'm just not sure where it's better as far as looks. As far as it being an upgrade, sure it'll have new wrist articulation (and maybe rocker ankles), and those are certainly improvements, but aren't that important to me. Anyway, it's great for people who are looking for a new and different Flint. It'd be nice, though, if Hasbro uses these slots for characters we haven't already been inundated with.

Best Flint ever! Destro is SUPERLATIVE!
Dear Hasbro, why You do not mass produce toys like the 50th anniversary and sell them in Europe too? At least they'd sell because are top notch military/ SCi-Fi action figures. Try to make commercials, "reclame" or cartoons worldwide (maybe for G.I.JOE 3)!!! But do something! Or fail forever and go to HELL!
