I got the e-mail too.
Also got my Cleaner. They seem to have improved on all of the little nitpicky things I didn't like about the original, but there are a couple of new nitpicky things I've found. Not nearly as many as the original Wolf though. My main complaint with my original Wolf was HT severely skimped on the dreds, and he ended up looking bald. My Cleaner's dreds seem to be a bit "poofier", and give the illusion that he has a lot more hair.
I fiddled with the head and open mandibles right out of the box, and I wasn't too impressed, but once I got the figure assembled and actually put the head on the body the open mandibles look really good.
The damaged helmet is also going to need a paint touch up to really be appreciated, because the way it's painted out of the box you can barely even tell it's different from the original unless you look really, really close or put it side by side with the original.
The pistol is not nearly as corny as I thought it would be, and the cleaner kit is really, really nice.
Not sure if I like the new packaging or not. When I first started opening it it was a bit annoying, but after I figured out a nice way to get things out without having to take the whole package apart it was pretty nice.
I always liked Wolf a bit less than my other preds, but the Cleaner, I think he actually deserves to stand on the same shelf with the other guys.
