I give this figure a 7/10 because it is lacking in paint on the shoulder antenna and the helmet looks a bit goofy and I think Hasbro could have done much better with the mold and sculpt of this figure.
Thanks for reading!

Does he really have articulated ankles? If he does, that makes him better than the Jetpack Rex. I thought Hasbro would basically use the same body as Rex.

Ew, that is the same new foot articulation they are trying out on a few Joes. Not excited about it and I don't know why they would change something that works fine. I thought they didn't like changing molds on figures?

is it the one where the peg goes into the foot instead of into the leg?  If so, I like that articulation for making wide stance poses... but for traditional posing it stinks.


Also... again with the shoddy stone figure....  UGH...  I almost bought this one today because of the jetpack, glad I didn't waste my money.  I might buy them when they go on clearance.

Is it just me or is Hasbro's quality decreasing?  I mean really, a STICKER?
