YAY or NAY : Link Talbot
 

Ok, I thought it over. Let's see what the posse here really thinks of the new characters. I am going to put in a lot of different aspects on the YAY or NAY side so while there may be positives, there will most likely be negatives too. It's a mix of subjective and objective aspect.

Target: DR. LINK TALBOT.

Typical ARAH construction.
All new sculpt.
Decent sculpt.
First Combat Veternarian.
Had a starring role in the Valor vs Venom movie.
Figured out how to reverse the Venomization process.
Has cornrows.
Cares about his animals at the zoo.
Scarlet took him down in the movie.
Came w/ great grenade launcher & wrist communicator.
Technically a Navy SEAL and martial arts expert.
Had 2 versions made of him.
Not the most military of outfits.
Buff for an ARAH figure.

...He's a F&^$@ING VET!

Nice head sculpt

Yay! but in my Talbot S.E.A.L. version: http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/sho...r&imageuser=444

He was a S.E.A.L.: http://www.yojoe.com/filecard/05/link2.shtml

Is that the USS Flag? I don't remember it having an lift! COOL!

Yes, it is U.S.S. Flagg's lift.

Again, new characters beat infinite versions of the same old ones over and over. Whilst Link is not one of my faves, he has a place in my Joeverse as a medic.

technically thats four words... five if you sepererate "He" & "is"

but i agree... even tho i dislike him because he's a vet, I would use him as a "red-shirt" and not much more. I have nothing against vets, but come on, a GI Joe vet?

Nay!

Need a better especialty and a new torso.
