cool jacket, mag bandoleer, and sculpt... and IMO, enough with the oakley boots...we need some new footwear options.

MigsGabb811 · #3 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 15:13

another winner, still can't wait for their 416 set release

that HS is nice

AEB1 · #4 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 15:14

Nice but where is the 416???

Just Clay · #5 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 15:14

FAAAAAAAAAANTASTIC!!! Buy lots, buy often!! That HS rocks as does the whole figure.

Ronin Six · #6 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 15:14

Yikes, lots of TAD gear there... Bandolier, Stealth Hoodie, Patches. Hmmmmm.

The pics are sporting the TAD gear logo. I wonder if they got the OK?

MigsGabb811 · #7 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 15:15

wonder what pattern the oakley's are? looks cool though, and the leather looks like tis made of soft material

Hey, it's Max Payne III! (who also happens to be rockin' some TAD Gear F10 pants below)

pukingdog · #10 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 15:28

Definitely a badazz headsculpt.

da Bronx Commando · #11 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 15:31

Headsculpt also reminds me of Jeff Bridges in Iron Man. Looks good.

cool! sure gots the likeness...damn you quick brutha

Sir Eaton Flipflop · #14 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 15:57

I like the figure - and the head sculpt is definitely inspired

I will add to the above comparisons by noting that he looks like a dude who would be " tight bros from way back when " with Demo Dick Marcinko.

Seems light on gear - not for the subject matter, but for a 1/6 figure release from Soldier Story... Will he come with more gear - or will he be at a lower price point? And as far as the gear - who doesn't like the techie TAD look? In fact, I want the 1/1 version of the jacket

oliver · #15 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 15:58

WOW. That is a sharp figure all around, but that HS absolutely rocks! I'm seeing Jeff Bridges as he appeared in Iron Man. Definitely all kinds of bad thoughts going on in that noggin.

MigsGabb811 · #16 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 15:58

if that's all of the gear, lets hope for a lowere price than their average box sets

ijaichirosan17 · #17 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 16:14

This figure looks cool!

MIFUNE · #18 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 16:16

haha thats obediah stane! now wheres that suit at?

cdn_rhino · #19 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 16:23

Very interesting. Needs a lo-pro vest under that jacket, maybe a new version of that AK with an EOTech maybe... Pistol, and knife tucked away somewhere? Cell phone?

Check out the vein on his temple. Nice

They did. The T.A.D. Gear Stealth Hoodie Classic (Exclusive Soldier Story Color M.E. Brown) and T.A.D. Gear Bandoleer are both used with permission of T.A.D. Gear Inc. www.tadgear.com

I am rocking my T.A.D. Gear shorts as I write this. They put out some awesome gear.

Paladin · #21 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 16:28

Just the nude and bandolier are interesting =) SS can keep the rest :P

delfire · #22 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 16:29

I like it. Great HS and cool overall

Auret · #23 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 16:29

Looks like a Bald, bearded, Robert Loggia...

awesome looking figure...

polonium · #24 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 16:44

Awesome! I'm sold.

Shogun85 · #25 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 16:46

very awesome!!! now I have something to look forward to again. hopefully the price is not too steep.

Just Clay · #26 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 16:46

An older DMl Cody with a beard I say.

BrotherMatthew · #27 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 16:50

What is funny is I actually have a real pair of those Oakley boots he is wearing. The terrible gray camo pattern ones. Too funny.

Mercenary25 · #28 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 17:06

$81 for whole thing? Bleh. I think I'm going to pick HS. Not a big fan of PMC tho.

The HS reminded me of MGS3 sniper.

Jeffajab · #29 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 17:12

Uh, is it me or are those jeans CHEEEESY. And what's up with the shoes. Is he "PMC instructing" or going to an Eastern European disco or something?

MediumMack · #30 (**permalink**) 06-23-2009, 17:26

Hmm, I suspect a new tactic on Soldier Story's part. You simplify the figure, knock the price point way down. Then we get some carded sets. Some Gucci-... tactical vests, some 416's, etc. and go to town and upgrade your PMC. I think thats an excellent plan. Hopefully Im right
