Meh. Unmasked portrait is useless to me. Original rifle would rock.

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!
EX most likely will be the unmasked Fred portrait, which appeals to the more diehard fans of the comic. Since the Fred persona was a non-factor in the cartoons, no need to include the Fred portrait for the regs.
I think the fact that both Stalker and the Cobra Viper came with scale versions of their made up submachine and assault rifle respectively sets a precedent for the Crimson Guardsmen to come with their bayoneted asssault rifle.

Another absolute win on Sideshow's part. I am really impressed with their interpretation of the character. I even like the changes (I actually see them as upgrades and improvements).
Bring them on!

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!
Still waiting for their answer...
If it's just the jacket, well, okay. I can sort of get a leather jacket, even if it is shiny. I wouldn't prefer it to cloth, but it's not a deal-breaker.
If he's got leather pants, that's WAYYY over the line.
It actually would be nice if a SSC rep did weigh in on the reasoning for the material. Maybe its just the jacket and the pants are cloth? That wouldn't be so bad.

Waiting for their answer? What's the question? SSC isn't going to answer product specifics that are going to be answered by a reveal in 7 days anyway.

I can live without the unmasked Fred head, if he ends up being the EX. Don't need a random red-haired dudes face for an EX.

...now I think a second helmet should come standard with both versions.

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!
That would be pretty stupid. Like I said, a leather jacket is one thing, but you will be hard pressed to find any examples of leather pants being used as part of a military uniform anywhere, anytime.

On vacation - I actually forgot it was the weekend!
Khev's post about them explaining their reasoning for the material. How would that be answered by more pics?

But they would look more like Crockmaster.

Well see. Unless Sideshow changes the entire figure, I don't think I'll be adding this CG to my collection.

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!
I'm torn. I still feel like a bit of a completist, even though I passed on the desert troops (I'll probably get them down the road).
It'd be difficult to not have a Crimson Guard in the collection, because they're so iconic, but if this turns out as bad as it looks so far, I may have to pass as well.
