From the hisstank thread:

Actually not the one I was talking about. Third row, "teh Fourth of July: Somebody at Sideshow really didn't spell check this did they?

Maybe Sideshow thinks Flint would actually talk like that.

Where did you guys put the grenades?

On another figure. Flint has no business with them.


In Cruel's world...of course.

 

[the angry orc]

flint just needs his shotgun and fists.






and beret

 

[FLOSI]

That pose on the back of the box looks bad ass... Like he's going to knock Zartan's teeth down his throat, or dent Destro's head.

I have a feeling I know who's to blame, but last time I dogged his horrible production pictures of Snake Eyes, I got a crybaby PM.

Part of what makes his head look funny is the shape of his skull. It's flat on top to fit the beret. Without the beret, the length of his face makes makes you extremely aware that it's disproportionate. Add the Herman Munster hair and the expression on his face, and the effect is rough.

But with the beret on, the proportions are fine. If his paint is atleast equal to Duke's, I don't see an issue. It will be cool to one day get some master repaints, but yeah, in hand trumps first pic hysteria, once again.

That was my concern when I heard that the beret would be removeable. The teaser pics and proto pics showed the beret pretty snug on Flint's head, and as time went by and Sideshow still hadn't shown pics of the beret portrait, I was certain that it wouldn't look good. But it is a moot point because as all have said, who's gonna display Flint withoput his beret?

I just hope that if and when Sideshow gets to either Lowlight and Tunnel Rat, the two get a fabric knit cap and bandanna, respectively.

Sculpted.... look at BH.

I ragged pretty hard on Flint in a different thread, so I feel that I should post here and say that the recent pics make him look much better. The hairline still looks bad, but the rest seems ok. My apologies to SS for jumping on the hate bandwagon.

(Hopefully it's ok to express this opinion as one of the "non-elite".

And preferred. Snake Eyes looks loads better with a sculpted mask. If they do like Beach and give us a sculpted hat on and a bare head with mock cap, that'd be excellent.

It's not but we'll let you know when it is.... j/k

That was my thought too.

Best of both worlds right there.

I seem to remember one of the old Hot Toys military figures came with a fabric knit cap, but I can't remember for certain. Am I wrong?

Sniper.

 

[IrishJedi]

Seems like there is no consensus on this figure. Some say bad quality, others love it. Can't wait to have it in hand to judge for myself.

 

[IrishJedi]

I just checked my order tracking and Flint was actually delivered TODAY (a day early). Sweet.

I'm now eager to check him out for myself.

 

[DinoDB1975]

Sniper.

Thanks, 'Nam. That's what I thought.

Damn, I want a Low Light to have a sniper duel with the Cobra Sniper.

Beachhead and Lowlight were my favorites of that '86 batch.

 

[King Darkness]

Solid figure over all. I still think Duke has better paint. For the price of the figure it should be a hell of a lot better, but whatever.

Heres some pix:

[the angry orc]

looks awesome. great pics, king.

 

[The Josh]

Nice pics King. He reminds me of Frank Castle without the beret.
