I think a different helmet would fix a lot of the oddness there.

anyone have a Tombstone that can find a better helmet?

plus are they again hiding long neck syndrome???

and it is just lazy not to at least include a stick of dynamite for that empty peg

The arms look terribly out of place with that torso. It looks like they built the entire figure with the idea of just getting those arms and that vest on him, instead of trying to make a cool looking figure.

I don't know. If his legs weren't so bland, it might work. The dollar general legs would work alot better. Even the holster and pouch legs that are on so many figures.

edit* Just realized my buddy OB built the perfect Clutch a couple weeks back. That's what it should be.

I guess this is why we customize figures

Other than not using the Clutch legs with the ankle holster and those actually pretty nice traffic cones, this is exactly what I expected.

In all honesty, I expect more wow from a FSS figure.

I'd easily buy this reasonably priced at retail, but as part of the FSS it is a pass. Not worth the extra $$$.

Why not use the legs from the Zap and DG Duke here? Lame.

Not a bad figure. Honestly though, it does not scream Blizzard to me.

Data Viper is one of those figures that looks fantastic until you try to move him around. I feel the same way about Payload here. He looks amazing...just don't touch him.

Payload is the one I was most worried about. This isn't ideal but it works for me.

I’m not a big fan of the helmet, but I like this one.

Still irritated at Fast Draw though.
