Pretty cool - I always thought it a shame that the SEALs typically came in wetsuits and weren't dressed/equipped for land combat. This is a great version of a land-based SEAL. I especially like the cam-paint on his face.
That said (and not intended as a criticism of this figure), Torpedo's file card had him as a Hawaiian, but the comic art and figures always portrayed him as a relatively slender (and occasionally blond) white guy. I sometimes think he should be shown as a broad, mesomorph Polynesian warrior with a couple of tribal tattoos, wearing a "Hawaiian by birth, American by force" t-shirt under his combat shirt and a Hawaiian flag patch on his uniform instead of an American flag, and carrying a Stoner 63A LMG, a S&W 66, a sawed-off M79 pirate gun and a whole sack of assorted grenades! |

I'm hashing out a land Torpedo myself - Its always a pleasure to see other peoples takes on the character. So shoutouts to Primo. I've never seen any of the comic illustrations of Torpedo let alone the camo version in ARAH Yearbook #4 - REALLY wish I could find some online to pull some inspiration. |
