Yeah, I think so, sure. It's not the EXTREME realism seen in the first couple of ARAH waves, but it's also not the 90's stuff (or Sigma 6). I think it straddles that line of being realistic and stylistic. Though I despise the figure, the 25th update to Serpentor is more realistic than the original (as far as realism gets when dealing with clone of history's greatest leaders/conquerors). It's less "snakey-costume" and more battle-armor. Same with Zartan...would a master assassin and world-class mercenary REALLY wear mid-riff armor with no shirt? Really??? So, I think GIJoe is still on the right track where realism is concerned. We'll see what happens with Dr. Mindbender and his bare chest of awesomeness!!

Great topic by the way.
