I always thought Cesspool was a cool looking figure, and I think the Joe Club did a great job recreating him here.
Unlike retail figures, all of the Joe Club figures are "kitbashes" (a figure made up of a mix-match of parts from other figures). Only the head sculpts (and some weapons) are unique. But they've got years worth of figures and parts to work with, so at this point, they're probably capable of making almost any figure or character from the various incarnations of Joe.
The card art on this one looks great, too. The first series art was a little hit-or-miss...
Cesspool himself look pretty good. They got the colors perfect. I'm not sure why they didn't do that awesome, giant Cobra symbol on his chest like the original, and they also changed his right arm, which in the original was wearing some kind of gold armor. Other than those two things-- this is a fantastic figure.
Hopefully these will start shipping soon!
