Still, I will be ordering hands, feet, weapons, and more from them to upgrade my figs.

That is a good mold. From what I can tell, Hasbro crushed it by using the tooling from POC Snake Eyes in a lot of figures.

That Duke is definitely old school green shirt material. But WOW - I didn't even know that Beachhead existed. With head swaps, he may be the perfect modern green shirt.

D'oh! That's not good! And here I was just saying no to them because of aesthetics.

Thanks for the responses, all! If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.

Have fun!
