I'm hoping it's one of those situations where the promo head doesn't look quite the same as the produced item.

I want that sexy Scarlett Johansson too!!  ;D I would prefer her in MOC condition btw!

If Scarlett Johansson loves Rock'N'Roll, does it make her a GI Joe fan?  :-

I'd get one except for the crazy cost involved. Ugly yes, however I think its a great move by MC.

Not feeling it for some reason.   Something is off.

More than just something.  The arms aren't in proportion to the body, the colors are terrible (way too bright, especially that green) and the headsculpt looks like Dial Tone...IF he just smelled the most horrendous fart ever released, and it froze his face that way.  Plus, I remember his hair being black, not auburn. 

A GREAT idea, but poor, poor execution.  That prototype better go through some serious changes if they want my money.  And honestly, after considering it in the past, a tremendous exclusive figure offering is the ONLY way they'll get me to join.

Well, apparently, they didn't have access to RoC, PoC or Resolute parts, only 25th. So their part choices were quite limited. Honestly, I have no issues with the arms and legs, they're the ones I'll most likely use when I make my custom DT. The torso is bad, a Duke or Flint (from the second 5-pack) torso would have been better. If these couldn't be used (for whatever reason) I would have used an existing head, say Flint, and put my tooling budget on a new torso.

I really do not like those gung ho/airborne lower legs.  I can live with them on gung ho, but don't like them on airborne either.  I think I would have prefered the cobra soldier lower legs.  The web gear is wrong.  Doesn't go the same route as the original.  On the torso, viper maybe?

Switch for the 12' figure. Even if you don't have one, it looks good near your computer monitor.  :wink:

Man, Master Collector and Fun Publishing is in for a rude awakening then. They were hyped about how all the Big Lob figures sold out and said they hoped that trend would continue. I think what they are overlooking is that most of their other free membership figures that didn't sell out are JvC molds. Sure, there was the I.G. Undertow figure that was ARAH mold and I have no idea why that didn't sell out.

This is a 25th anniversary styled figure (found everywhere) with a new head sculpt (super ugly) and poor paint choices.

I'll wait for them to go on sale.

Too bad they didn't hold back some more of the ARAH molds. Once O.K. Omega comes out, they might find they missed the boat on a core target market.
