Nice, honest review! I'm looking forward to getting Falcon, despite some shortcomings. I plan on trying to "improve" him, or plus him up a bit. He's definitely nowhere near as bad as he appeared to be in some of those early photos that popped up a week or so ago. BTW, it's pronounced FAL-CONE-NAY (it's Italian) ;)

I already customized mine: gave him the holster from the second release of Snake Eyes and Timber and put an extra Tiger Force Outback flashlight in the silencer slot. Then, I glued pouches (fodder from something else I customized) on his lower legs. Still might try giving him a removable knife and sheath on his web gear. It all started with the lack of a sidearm like the original toy had... then I noticed other things weren't like the original and it all just sorta snowballed from there lol.

Vintage Falcon was one of my most favourite figures. Hasbro had to really screw up to make me want to skip this release, but I did. It's probably the first time I skipped a figure - not because it was a character I just didn't care about - but because it was just not good enough. It's disappointing, but I'm not trying to be a completist. I'll just skip him and get the other releases. Mostly I've been very happy with Hasbro's output. Zarana is great, and Dusty is awesome except for his hat which looks weird and doesn't fit on his head properly.

The trick with Dusty is to take the smaller set of goggles and put them on him backwards, then the helmet will lock down nicely. The helmet is designed to fit over the goggle strap for when he’s wearing them. The added benefit to doing the reversed goggles trick is it stores all of his accessories on him.

Hey Bobby, I wanted to ask this questions I specifically of you because you're an Army vet. Among all of the things wrong with Falcon isn't one of the problems with Falcon's portrait is he has the countenance of a guy in his 40's? Considering that Falcon is a 1st Lt. that would put him in his mid 20's. Being that Dusty appears to be 25, 26, 27 years old do you think that Lt. Falcon and Dusty should be in the same age range? When we get another Falcon in _Classified_ do you think they should use the same face sculpt, (just remove the frown lines,) to give him a more useful appearance or should they license Don Johnson's likeness and get some pictures of Don Johnson from when he was in his 20's?
@beesbattlegrounds Жыл бұрын
So usually Lts are in their mid 20s, but there is a thing (and it's very common now) called Green to Gold Program (at least for the Army) where enlisted personnel go to school and get their commission, becoming officers. So it is possible to have an older LT out there with you

Yeah the paint apps are harsh on him. I also think the face sculpt was a mess. I agree they should not have made the mouth/lips so long, then accentuate it with that super strong color. Huge mistake. He has way too many deep lines in his face especially where the nostrils and mouth come together. The jaw could have been slightly shaved in. His eyebrows are not shaped like the one you showed in the back. I am going to get him and hope for the best. I have seen a few newer reviews where the paint apps are not as bad. If it is bad I have back up head sculpts from the Marvel legends line.

The shotgun is a major disappointment with that flimsy folding stock that literally comes apart with minor manipulation. Wish he came with a straightstocked Remington 870 or something more in line with his Vietnam green beret inspiration. The backpack does not stay put either. Wish there was more contrast with his cammies , which is clearly supposed to be tiger stripe ... Pretty frustrating but we have to have a Lt Falcon.
