This was on my doorstep this morning when I got up. I didn't have the patience to wait for my phone to charge so I went ahead and opened it.
I really dug his debut figure, but here he is in his full updated glory!
His new headscan is easily the best in the set, and the only other new one besides Beth Phoenix.
He's very similar to the original headscan, but showing his teeth in a smile instead of gritting them. The proportions are dead on to scale with the original release, making this one of the most consistent figures that Mattel has produced.
Here's a comparison shot. His beard is a clever two-tone illusion, the jaw is outlined in a shade darker than the chin and mustache area, and only noticeable that it's not blended together when you look very close. I've heard some early complaints about the lack of wrist tape, and I don't know this particular attire well enough to know if it's accurate or not. I agree that it looks a little naked, even if it is accurate, but it's by no means a breaking point. People complained the first figure treatment having too dark of a beard, so this should satisfy. The hair is also well sculpted and detailed.
Overall fantastic release of a guy we might not get too many (if any) more figures of. Crossing my fingers for an Elite with this positively perfect scan!
