Couple of more acquisitions!
Sgt. Stone: You know who this guy reminds me of?
Hammer, from Lanard's older O-ring Corps toyline. Between the beret, the button-up shirt, the urban camo and the bullpup rifle are definitely reminscent of my favorite Corps! character. The Hammer character is described as an Airborne Ranger who specializes in sniping as well as knife combat, and Sgt. Stone here has a scoped rifle (ideal for sniping!) and a switchblade! First thing I did when I got home was try on a spare Original 13 webgear to enhance the ressemblance, but sadly his torso was too large to fit that on. I now ponder if I could fit Roadblock's webgear on instead. Anywho, as far as the figure itself goes, it's solid. Great-looking sculpt although his forearms are a wee bit too big, good head sculpt MOLDED IN FLESH TONE WOOO and a nice bunch of accessories. Where it's a bit of a letdown is that he has no sheaths or holsters to store the very small switchblade and the pistol, and he has no backpack... His missile launcher is worth mention, as it's the best one I've gotten yet, for a simple reason... it's mounted on a stand. It's not a bazooka, it's a small artillery piece, complete with a control handle! Very cool thing to have.
Paris Pursuit Snake-Eyes: Snake-Eyes is a lefty! Seriously, his sheath is curved so the sword can only be drawn from the left, and his hands are made so he holds his rifle best from the left hand. This is a very cool touch since Ray Park, the man portraying him on the big screen, is also left-handed. The trenchcoat, as expected, hinders articulation a bit, but not enough to detract from this figure's awesomeness. His mask, unlike regular Snake-Eyes's, lacks the "molded mouth" which means it looks just great. Although Snake-Eyes' trademark weapon has always been an uzi, I love that here he's got a kickass G36 assault rifle. On the downside, much like Sgt. HammerStone up there, he has a pistol and a knife but no places to store them. He also comes with a black Timber, which is made from the same mold as the Timber from the last 25th Anniversary 5-pack.
Accelerator Suit Ripcord: As everyone has said, the Accelerator Suit body is a great high-tech armor figure, and the two-part mask just seals the deal. I'm kind of disappointed at his lack of wrist-mounted weapons like Duke has, and Sgt. HammerStone's bullpup rifle isn't much of a consolation. I don't really know what to say about this figure that hasn't been said by others already except: watch the paint job on the facial hair. I came across three Ripcords that had his soul patch pointing to the right before I got one that had it properly placed. Hasbro Quality Control sucks.
