Holy Holly, you're right about the lower legs. Good eye, I couldn't ID them.

But upon closer inspection, I think the upper arms might be from the Retaliation Wave 1 Snake-Eyes... They have the little elbow pads and the smaller shoulder pads (compared to the more armored arms of the wave 2).

Regardless, I think this is a pretty underwhelming update... Given the choice between this and the 25th anniversary version, I'd go with the 25th.

I really changed my mind on the CG when I saw it in person. CGs can use another uniform imo. The sword really goes a long way to giving this one a dressy feel. I am still all about the impel trading card bio being the defining info for CG Immortal. It makes some sense of battling CGs.

And really, all the equipment a CG wears should be there more to intimidate than to be used. I don't see it as a problem that they may need to look even more ready for battle in certain situations. My only issue is with the dirty boots since it is very out of character. They would keep that clean.

I see red shadow troopers there

Na red Cobra Invasion Shock Trooper should work great as those.

Not a big fan of the CG pictured, to each his own though. If I were guessing, I would think that the rank would go on the vest at the CG's left shoulder area - it looks like the only real flat portion you have for it.

I actively dislike that figure. The head looks squished or like a kid wearing a helmet that is too big for his head.
There's nothing "elite" looking about the figure.

I for one would like a pair of the new Crimson Guard, and a Shadow Guard repaint...
