Tunnel Rat is almost perfect except for the fact that his eyes are way too small and he is missing his backpack with flashlights. Shockwave is in the same boat. The figure itself is fine, but he's missing his machine gun, giant knife and his backpack. Destro's lower arms and legs and chestpad all seem like they could be used to make a decent Techno-Viper, too. Storm Shadow is just meh to me.

As for Storm Shadow he flat out rocks. I love the way this figure looks. The sculpt is just cool. The weapons and accessories are excellent. If anyone hasn't guessed I'm really impressed with this figure as well as the whole set. Also the comic had a great story too, neat way to pit these two against each other. |

His size isn't an issue with me since Tunnel Rat was supposed to be a really small guy (hence, part of the reason he has the nickname, "Tunnel Rat"). As for his backpack, I already bought a loose vintage BP w/flashlights on ebay for this figure. Same goes for Shockwave.

Are you serious? Watch the Joe movie, Tunnel Rat is a tiny dude (and the codename obviously plays into that as well). Who said anything about his height and stature being a result of his ancestry anyways?

You knew once people started talking about Tunnel Rat's "eyes" and size that somebody was going to come out of the woodwork on the defensive. But there's no need (unless you're bored and want to rile up the forum) to get racial. I know plenty of "stalkers" and "docs" that have nice haircuts, and plenty of "white joes" that can pimp walk. Like Destro, for example... the original Pimp Daddy. |

That Destro has got to be the weirdest figure to date. What's up with his boots? Is he gonna hang out with Arctic Snake Eyes after the battle? lol
I wished Shockblast's pistols were a bit bigger. I gave him one of the Paraviper's MP5s. I also wished his face looked more like the original and not a clone of Firefly. Even with the hat on he still looks too much like Firefly. I wish I was good at painting eyes so I too could fix Tunnel Rat's eyes. All the one's I've seen here look great. Storm Shadow is meh.

I think Tunnel Rat is an excellent figure. To fix the missing back pack issue, I just used the one that came with the new 5 pack Snake Eyes. It's the right size, though sans his flashlights but to be honest, it isn't really that big of a deal to me.
Great figure. Love the size and racial differences. I don;t think Hasbro "over did it" on this one. He's Asian and therfore sports Asian features. I don't think it was in poor taste. I love this figure and it's easily one of my new favorites.
