I think I told TG or Shane but man... This is how the 2002 nu skulpt era should've launched. With this amount of tight sculpting and detailing and I love the hard edges that these figures have. Gung Ho is very cool but I wish his arms were a bit buffer. These are making anything since 2002 look pretty bad. All I can assume is that the sculptors were allowed to take the gloves off and kick booty.

We can assume these are the original painted versions but there is absolutely no reason why Hasbro couldn't use the same sort of paints to do the mass production figures. The Marvel Showdown/Legends use a pretty gritty paint, don't they?
