Larry Hama is Storm Shadow :)

After getting the ROC Storm Shadow (Paris Pursuit) and then seeing this picture, I'm sure that Larry IS Storm Shadow

Ok, not really, but it is a good match.

not to derail your thread (which i agree with, btw) -- but what is that handlebar thingy?

Suction cup. With motorcycle handlebars. So you can monitor the speed and fuel status of your suction cup.

And yes, that pic does look oddly like that head sculpt. Wonder if it was intentional?

Doubtful, given the fact that they "facescanned" the actors' faces for the toys.

I miss the days of ARAH when head sculpts were sculpted instead of digitally scanned...

Scanning isn't 100%, so they still use sculptors.

And that is funny. He just needs a tiny pick up.

That head needs to go on Tunnel Rat...

That suction cup thing is too funny.

It does look like him back in the day, but not too much on how he looks now.

If it were a pink suction cup, it would be a perfect accessory for Big Brawler. It would double as a pastie that Brawler can hang from.

In some cases and I'm not sure exactly how Hasbro did these. They have digital sculptors who can take the scans and fill in some of the details that the scans don't pick up. Then they digitally print the finished altered scan so a sculptor with wax clay doesn't ever touch it.

That sounds like a good way to save money and still be accurate. And lazy, it also sounds lazy. I wish I had a face scanner for my customs.

The actor's face looks more round than the figure, like they squished it some. In doing so, he looks more like Larry than the actor

This is a really cool fig though. He can hold all his weapons. Has good access outside of the stupid suction and has good range of motion. I just wish he had some kind of holster for his sais

That's a good point. The technology has evolved quite a bit.
