Now, if you'll notice, he's missing that hideous and archaic "ab crunch" cut joint in the middle of his chest. While this limits his articulation, it makes for a much better looking figure in my opinion. I like the extra articulation, but that joint that Mattel uses is so ridiculous and unsightly. If they really want to move their action figures forward, (which means re-sculpting a lot of their standard "bucks") it's time to use a hidden ball joint mid chest and in the waist. Hasbro could stand to do this with a lot of their figures, too.
Getting back to the figure itself, I think it looks really great. The packaging looks excellent, and the addition of the stand is just another plus.
