Those are actually Air Force decals, not Army.

While I do agree that the paint apps on the movie version are superior in every way (love the AF markers) and it has better articulation, I still prefer the comic version. For me, it really comes down to the shoulder weapons. The movie's "missile launching gatling gun" is ridiculous on so many levels, it's laughable. I don't even keep it on mine.

I suspect that for most fans, it will all boil down to what you want more, a comic War Machine, or movie version. If you have the cash, I say get both. I paid $8.99+tax at Kmart for my movie version and have no regrets. It's a great figure and I did not want to hunt for him after the movie premieres and the figure undoubtedly sells out anywhere. It doesn't hurt that I liked the design since 1st sight in the trailer, and am a War Machine fan to begin with.

I'm a huge War Machine fan, too, so ultimately I'm just happy for all the attention he's getting. Especially that he has two molds that are not just gray redecos of Iron Man armors.

And I agree if you have the cash, get both. Wal-Mart's currently got all of the single pack figures for $6.96 each (regular $8.44), so I would try there first. But even at $9 each, they're both still worth it.
