The sculpt is incredible despite the fact that he looks like someone who walked off the set of Duck Dynasty. The problem is with his accessories. First off, the hat just sits on his head, which royally sucks. They should have just molded the hat on the head or made it bigger. Any time you move him, the hat tumbles off. Hell, just look at him funny makes the hat tumble off. The same goes for the guns when it comes to attaching them on the backpack. I have no idea which side which gun is supposed to go on, but it doesn't matter as none of them stay put, especially the grenade launcher, which doesn't seem to go anywhere. I'm lucky if I can get them to sit in the slots on the sides for 45 seconds, but the worst is the one on the bottom of the pack as nothing can sit there at all. Not to mention Gung Ho can't even hold his guns properly, so he must be very strong in the arms to be able to shoot all of those guns one handed.

Agree with you on the hat. You know what I find out about Gung Ho's guns on his backpack? The shotgun fits very well with the grip sticking inward. It almost seems like it was meant to hang there. The assault rifle needs a little exacto knife to cut the hanging tabs a bit lower, then it'd fit. Once you do that, those 2 guns hang on the backpack securely and doesn't stick out. Nothing you can do with the grenade launcher, so he'd just have to hold it. Then again, Gung Ho has always been my default grenadier before they made Hardball, so that has always been my primary weapon for him anyway. And yes, if you soften his hands first, the grenade launcher fits in his hands perfectly.

While I was at it, I toned down the silver on him (right forearm, weapons and shin guards), and gave him a Gunnery Sergeant rank on his hat.
