When you consider Topside and all it would've taken to get him closer to the original, it's very difficult for me to believe the Club can't access upper arms with rolled up sleeves or lower legs with the pants tucked into the boot.



Maybe I'm just not in love with the original figure, but I really don't see what the gripe is about Topside? I mean, I find it really difficult to gripe about a Navy figure wearing a Navy uniform. http://www.flickr.com/photos/54786106@N02/5077581970/
Sorry, but the fact that he's wearing a short-sleeve shirt instead of a sleeves-rolled-up shirt, really seems like a "so what?" type of complaint to me. Then again, I'm not really in the camp where the 25th/30th figures need to adhere exactly to their 80's counterparts. I'm very happy with small changes, if they make sense. And a very slightly different, valid Navy uniform, doesn't scream "not making sense" to me.

It's not a Navy uniform gripe, it's a short-sleeve button down shirt gripe. :-D

And that's totally fine...for you.

To me, what it doesn't scream is "I'm worth $25 or more."

Let's just say you'll make the Club a lot happier than they'll make me with choices like this.
