Judge's Commentary:

- Quite nice, and I can actually see this as a carded figure. Great and faithful to this rare castaway from Tiger Force. Love it .


The design for this figure was inspired by the Resolute Trooper. Big Ben's (1991) legs were chosen primarily for the gators around the feet, while the waist, Roadblock (1986), was chosen because it had belt with pouches to mimic the look of the Resolute Trooper vest. The arms originally had shoulder armor, but this did not match figures from that era. Shockwave's (1988) arms were used for their simplicity. The chest and head proved to be more difficult. To solve this, I chose to use a standard Viper (1986) torso, and the head, Beach-Head (1993), gave a great helmeted balaclava look. This part, coincidentally, inspired the character's codename.
