Yes, he does look great.



(I'm so regretting not having started collecting the original Red Shadows years ago, when they were still cheap and everywhere. And these new ones are obviously also going to be too expensive. Alas.)

Need some help identifing parts:

Head: Mr. Bison
Torso: Hardball
Waist and legs: Grunt Comic pack/keychain trooper.

Arms???

It's a nice figure, just the head not quite right. But is a nice Black Major incarnation IMO.

Those look like headman arms to me.

To be honest, I don't know why people are complaining, it looks spot-on with the original figure.

I think he looks great myself. I just hope they do the Red Shadow troopers right. So far so good.

Red Torches are up.

I thought the head was new but looks to be from BTR's Shadow Viper, nice obscure choice...hope they adapted it to fit the body well. Body is entirely Eco Flint from what I can tell.

Looks decent, but 6 of them? I think they need more figure variety in the main set, especially for the price, like they did in 2007.

That figure looks very nice. I will probably do a custom of him as I normally don't pay the high prices of this figures.

Contrary to the Black Major, these Red Torches don't really do anything for me. Probably because of the lack of attached nostalgia.

The Red Torches look fantastic, the parts combo is genius. I would just re-arm them anyway, so the flame thrower doesn't bother me. I can't wait to see how the regular troops look. So far this set is looking awesome.

I'm not really excited by this set so far. The Black Major looks okay, but is pretty much a Bison clone. And six flamethrowers? Hmmm, I'll reserve judgement until I see the rest of the set, not sure if I'll pick it up yet. Still, at least they're o-ring!
