Very cool, who's head is that though...?

Looks almost like a movie Hawk without the beret.

Looks great, but I notice that the more I look at that Star Wars head, it looks similar to Dennis Quaid's likeness, so it almost looks like you made a General Hawk without the beret... That isn't to say the figure looks bad, it's just an observation on that sculpt...

You know I dig it Tim. lol. Nice parts choices as well.

Guys, the head is Star Wars pilot Jake Farrell. I used him for my Flint, and painted this one up for Tim as well. I agree it is a Dennis Quaid looking head, but with the darker accents, and younger overall look, it screams Flint in person. When I did mine, I did contemplate using the Quaid head as an alternate beret head for the figure, but decided against that, as the faces of the figures are distinct.

Yup, sure does. Especially on THAT body. Nice concept though.

It would maybe help if you added some shotgun shells, to differentiate the harness from QuaidHawk's

Very nice. I'm a big Flint fan since he was the first Joe I ever had as a kid, though I agree with drbindy that maybe throwing some shotgun shells on him (be it the 25th Flint's webgear or something else a little different) would help make him more Flint-y and less Quaid-y.

Have to agree that adding shotgun shells would add to the "Not Dennis Quaid Hawk" look. Looks good.

I like the figure and If I had not seen Quaid in the movie I'd love the figure.
I have some shells on a belt I think.

Let me know if you need them.

This is a cool figure, I like the parts and don't mind the head. Adding a few sg shells would really make it scream Flint.
