I thought the v1 design was pretty outdated and I didn't understand why the comic drawers kept on using it. I liked the v2 much better and the VvV W7 SE was awesome despite the soft sculpted edges (the vest hides it all). BUT those boys at Hasbro took that old design and made it look tight! I honestly can't believe it cuz now, I'm not so worried about the v2.

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?

Sonneilon aka 'Paul WS Anderson' ;) Offline --> Posts: 7,751 --> Join Date: Jul 2005	I love this figure. Hands down, this and Destro are the winners. I don't know why Hasbro didn't do THIS for the DTC run. Unless, everything since the relaunch was just practice or set-up for the 25th. Now if we could only figure out how these will be marketed.

I just worried about the joints, look at the waist join with the legs. It is ball jointed, my issue here is that it can became loose, what would trough away posing possibilities, since I'm a toy photo taker.

I wouldn't worry about the joint issues. As I stated in a different post, when Hasbro took over the Marvel Legends line they greatly improved on the joints, making them more durable and even added more range of movement. These figs appear to be based on the Mavel Legends Showdown stuff so the joints should be nice, tight and durable.
