I bought a lot of figures on eBay that cosisted of two comic packs, one was the Spirit, Hannibal, Cover Girl set the other the Tommy, Lonzo, classified set. All I wanted was the Cover Girl. since I had no use for the other five figures, I added them to my for sale box. When I sold the Tommy, Lonzo, Classified set, I realized what a cool figure sculpt Classified really is. I made the commitment to sell it, so I bought anohter one on eBay.
I realized that Classified actually is a pretty useless character, unless you're reenacting the trio's time in Viet Nam, so I figured I repaint him and make him a custom character.
Below is a picture of the figure I got. There are a few differences I noticed right away...first and most obvious is the lack of shading around his eyes. I thought this was an inovative idea by Hasbro to replicate his appearance in the comics. In this case, I was glad it was lacking the shading, as it kept me from having to come up with a new head and trying to pry that boonie cover off.
The next thing is the camo pattern on his cover. I seem to recall there being a bit of black in the pattern, this is only yellow. It does have the picture in the headband though.
The ammo belt isn't painted as well as the first figure I bought.
The other thing about this figure is some markings located under his left breast pocket and the same marking on his back. It looks like "VM."
I bought the figure from a Chinese seller and I know I've read something about those markings, I just can't remember what they're for.
