This is a fantastic figure, no doubt about it. However, NECA's ab joints always look weird on their shirtless figures (when they can't really be hidden by the sculpt). Hasbro has really perfected it, NECA should look to them for inspiration.

Otherwise, this figure is a knockout. That new head is amazing.

Nice review and awesome photos!

Cool figure and fantastic packaging by NECA.
Unfortunately I have the same complaint, the bandana should be bright red! I also feel like the rocket launcher would've made more sense to coincide with the packaging.
I think this figure is the first I've seen NECA make where they could've easily just repacked an old figure and it would've been completely accepted, but they didn't. The weapons and the head sculpt just don't go with him IMO.

Funny part is, I bought it anyway lol
The packaging is just so damn cool that I couldn't turn it down. I hope they make the shirted version too.

I feel if the joint can't be hidden then NECA shouldn't bother with it. Yes that would reduce articulation but their Predators have never had any ab joints and they're still fantastic.

I get that the ab joint bother some people. I liked it as it allowed for more natural bow and arrow poses.

I prefer how NECA does it with Rambo and Rocky than how Hasbro does it with any of their Legends male figures, with Hasbro's hinged abdomens if you look at it from dead on you can see through the sides and it's fairly annoying. An abdomen should be ball jointed if you can't hide a hinge.
