Justin, I think you come across as a bit too harsh on this guy. He’s an excellent figure that can be built out to two distinct looks (ground and paratrooper), and for a lower per-figure price than the average Retaliation figure.

And the red’s only an issue if you display him without some form of webgear, and who’s going to do that?

I like this figure well enough, although, instead of red, I might have chosen an urban camo color scheme or Cobra blue, as Justin mentioned. Still, a great mold– one that I’d be inclined to buy in a variety of colors.

I wish Hasbro would refrain from putting troop builders in the three-packs. I don’t go overboard with troop building; I usually get only 2 or 4 of any given troop, but I’m not going to buy multiple three-packs to satisfy my troop building quotas– especially when 2/3 of these packs are unique characters.

I really like this figure in this color scheme. Shame he’ll be so hard to troop build!
