Ok, not sure how to get the pic to post straight away so here is the link:

I think it is a great looking figure with a fairly ingenious use of the Dusty head.  2 of them (army builder) in the set.  I like the colours and the lab coat, especially with the ARBCO logo as well.

Overall a really good start.

I'm not blown away with this one. I don't care for the Cobra blue and it looks too much like Cobra Commander to me.

I like this photoshop someone did on the facebook page much more:

Speaking from experience, when you wear a lab coat you don't want something as restrictive as that CC torso and you keep it buttoned up. Leaving it open like that defeats the purpose of a lab coat.

Not a strong start.

I don't like the head-choice on that figure at all.

Not blown away, kind of a meh figure.

Not blown away, kind of a meh figure.

Or maybe a meth figure.

Bazinga!
 
Yep, I watched Breaking Bad.

Now we have the box art as well.....

Not sure I like it that much.  It is kind of cool, but doesn't really strike me as the best choice for the box art.

I suppose one could complain that the set for celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the brand has little or nothing to do with anything the brand has put forward in the past 50 years, but that is on the Club.  I liked the Zombie concept revealed last year, and it was topical and interesting.......but my feeling is that it's out of place this time around.  If it were to come out NEXT year, sure.......but not for the 50th anniversary.

It's the 50th anniversary of the 12" guys. So they should be properly celebrating that with 12" zombies, of course.

For me it's a meh!?!

yeah not that excited so far, but it really doesn't matter what I think since I was never going to buy this set anyaway. Hope they get better.

Now did they purposely not paint that head gold just to be different from the original or did someone drop the ball and forget to double check?

I think it's a photoshop mockup. Hard to get gold in photoshop, so might as well do yellow.

That being said, if the actual figure doesn't have a gold head...
