Got this bad boy from tru-dot-com. Pretty impressed.

He comes with hands for basically all of the accessories. The straight hand fits into the net launcher (took me a minute to figure that one out), another hand fits perfectly into the holes of the disc weapon, and a pair of hands is included for the combistick.

Articulation is vastly improved. The old figure was difficult to pose, not the case with this new one. Can't really get him to squat, but the same can be said of most figures; no matter how good they are.

The likeness is better, as well. He's less beafy, the face sculpt is more film-accurate (especially the eyes), paint apps are improved, etc.

Sadly, the plasma blast accessory is too heavy for the plasma caster to really hold in place. It fits nicely onto the piece and doesn't fall off, but the weight makes the whole thing sag. I don't see how they could have really remedied this, though. It's just too small of a part. That's really my only complaint here, and it's easy to overlook given what you get for the price.

I am looking forward to adding the Ultimate Jungle Hunter to my collection, even though the boxart for that one isn't as awesome as this one. I love the vintage posters.
