Those colours make his legs look very 80's to me. The boots look they should have leg warmers above them.  :o



Frag Viper looks OK. I suspect the parachute trooper body from the movie line. Only thing having me question that is I can't see if he has a collar or not. The parachute figure has one.



Mortal is uber lame. He needs a chrome head. Flat silver looks cheap and lazy.

Charbroil is up:



I hope this is the weakest link in the set. I'm not impressed with the web gear having no paint layers. I get that the original didn't have lots of details either but they could have done something to make it pop.

i'll never be a fan of Psyche Out (seriously, there's plenty of other military specialities they could've done before a psy-ops guy) but that's not bad...

The great thing about Psyche-Out is that there's only one Psyche-Out. So many other specialties are doubled-up. But psychological warfare?

He'll &#%@ with your mind, bro.

i'd sooner have a helicoper co-pilot for Lift-Ticket in the Tomahawk or a gunner for Heavy Metal in the Mauler or a gunner for Wild Bill in the Dragonfly, a RIO for Ace in the Skystriker, a MARINE aviator - either a helo pilot or a fighter pilot - a Marine Scout/Sniper, a NAVY aviator, a weapons operator to back up Cutter in the WHALE or a Forward Air Controller or...
