I'm sure glad real life soldiers each have their own unique outfit they wear, and none of them wear the same pants or anything. That'd be so... um... uniform?

Really, all three of these are wins for me. Only way Law could be better is if he had that cheesy growl thing going on that his original figure had.

Thought it was sort of a half-grin/smirk, never thought of it as a growl.

Always thought that the original looked like Chevy Chase.
The new head sculpt rocks.

That's funny, Chevy Chase was always my pick to play Chuckles when I was a kid.

I am extremely impressed by Sci-Fi. Definitely needs to be wearing all of his uniform gear, however. I like the new "all-covering" visor. NOT in love with the weird cables on the legs. Not sure what's up with that, but I definitely want this figure.

Who's he standing next to in the last picture on the review? I don't offhand recognize that figure.

Airtight's not bad, but I'm not crazy about the hooded head. Just looks awkward.

Law & Order -- well, the dog's cool. The figure is -- not the most inspired design I've ever seen. And I swear it looks like they lifted that badge from COPS... :roll: :-D

This. It's clear that they have an agenda against psychoviper. They read every tear filled missive he writes about not being able to "properly shoulder a rifle", and they think up ways how they can make his life even worse, and to see what he'll waste his time crying about next.

Well done, Hasbro. Another home run.

The post above is dangerously close to the latter.

Sci-Fi: I'll get a couple, one to keep and one for custom fodder (love the head), but I'm not anxiously awaiting him. They did a nice job on the figure, but I was never that into the original and don't really need an updated version.

Airtight: awesome. I'm really looking forward to this one. Having just said that I'm not interested in replicated ARAH figures, this one really works for me. I can find a lot of uses for a guy in a cool environment suit (one of the few times a yellow outfit is appropriate), and I really like the sculpt on him. The accessories look great, especially that great tank backpack. There's nothing I don't like about this figure.

Law and Order: even better than Airtight. I love this figure, and I can't wait to get a bunch. He looks cool with all of his gear on, and he makes a fine update to Law. But as custom fodder, this guy is even better than Renegades Duke, and that's saying something. The head sculpt is nice, too: it's always good to get a more seasoned head into the line, and this guy looks a bit older than most of his contemporaries. These last two waves have some really great figures in them; if this is how the PoC/30th line is going to end, then they went out on top.

That Snake Eyes/Cobra Trooper holster seems redundant on Law's leg. They could have left that off or left off the one on the vest.

Three characters I had little use for as a kid, but that I will truly buy multiples of, based on how awesome the figures are. Each will be custom fodder for me, but the mix of parts in here is awesome.

I like that Law basically takes what was cool with Renegades Duke - the simplicity of the core figure - and amps it up so far. I still like Renegades Duke, but the weird belt slot and the way the wrists fit on him did require work (as was done on my Jason Bourne figure). The accessories rock on him and Sci-Fi especially - I MUST HAVE Law's revolver. awesome, and I love how well they integrated the holster into the vest.

Airtight is the coolest looking vacuum trooper you will ever find, for sure. lol. I like how the base figure uses parts that perfectly resemble the type of suit needed for this. For me, I could see it being the base uniform for some sci-fi verse pilots or crew

Hasbro sux....for making such awesome figs.

Law was already a multiple buy because of Order. Airtight was mostly going to just be a single. Sci Fi - I was hoping to pass on. Instead, all three are multiple buys. Good job Hasbro.

And, of all the names they've changed since the 80's....I kinda wish they had changed Airtight. I just can't take that one seriously anymore.

Awesome. Never been an Airtight fan, so even though it's a cool figure, I probably won't get it. Law on the other hand, has always been one of my favorite characters, and this is easily the best version of him. Can't wait until these are released.

You can pull that off much sooner than you think: that same pistol came with Croc Master (both versions), Resolute pilot Destro, PoC H.I.S.S. Driver (in black), and a few other guys over the past couple of years. It's a nice sculpt and a useful little weapon.
