Gaucho is a surprise, at least his head is. I'm surprised Lifeline is still Lifeline. Vehicles and bunker were interesting choices, but seem like customs. I mean, the Action Force Red Shadows used a German soldier body so the staff car works kinda. The Endor Bunker is a bit strange, as it's distinctly Star Wars. But who knows, maybe they'll use the Hoth laser turret as a Cobra gun emplacement next year. Most surprised there's no Red Shadow characters beyond the main set.

You know, her head looks small, making her body look even larger. Comic pack style. Which is weird, because the Sonya head was rather large. Looks like Lady Jaye forearms on Gungho v1 uppers.

Is $50 for a repainted Endor bunker a good deal? I'd love to add it as a PIT entrance (remember the lonely silos in the Utah desert that were the PIT 1's entrance?).

Considering that the original was ~$20 in the late 90s and included a giant tree with a spike strip and catapault w/boulder and was later clearnced down to $3? Also, 3 years ago there was an Endor Ultimate Battlepack at Target that didn't include the Bunker. It's rather flimsy and if you don't put the doors exactly right, you notice gaps and openings all the time.

Is for constructive criticism (will even settle for destructive) just anything but "Nice shot" or "Awesome".

Smaller than the movie's scale, and kinda half-assed, there's nothing inside the bunker, either. It's more like a background set for a stage play than a play set.
