A little darker blue...and maybe the breather mask in either black or red...or I think YELLOW would have actually been a pretty cool pop of color.

Looks like a mediocre custom.

Kindof the way i feel about Lab Rat, especially since I've bashed together several custom Cobra lab techs that use the sale coat but ended up looking a lot closer to the toon version.

Now the mask and the gloves make this one different enough from those that i suppose it makes sense, especially in the context of what they're supposedly handling. But if you're going to dress them in Cobra blue and plaster a big sigil across their chests, who are you trying to fool with the "ARBCO" on the jacket pocket? That should've been a sigil. Maybe the specialized toxo-version.

I agree a spare head would help the value of this. And that CC body would look a lot better if they did it in a different color and left off the sigil.

Neat...a box. When's the next figure?

What is that? I don't even... ooooh, it's a zombie hand busting out of a crate? Meh. I guess it's not just a simple logo like the last few years but it doesn't really grab me.

To be fair, zombies busting through barricades is an old image. I can't fault them for this.

If it did, you'd be a goner.

Impressive bit of artwork. Maybe a little too impressive. I think I'd be storing this box SIDEWAYS somewhere... 8-O

Shoulda made it 3d or lenticular.

What else can be done with Zombie imagery really? Maybe it's better to go with the classic image and do it well than try to be original and fail.

If the set has zombies, then my opinion of the first figure goes down. He should have came with an alternate head - the 25th Cobra soldier head with a big chunk bitten off the top. Go with the "Zombies running amok" and eating everyone.

The set comes with Toxo-Zombies, and the convention theme is definitely zombie-related with three of the Joes being labeled Zombie Hunters.
