@ru1977 How did I forget Stretcher? I have a list in my head of Joes who survived my childhood longer than most and Stretcher definitely made it longer than a lot of other guys who fell apart or broke or were lost. Love that guy. (We also need Doc's daughter I reckon.)

I think the armor and helmet had the factory maybe scale down or closer to true 1;12th scale. He’s a one off for me. I’ll get one to try.

Thwipp!

Because, in the real world, there are no short people. 😋

In the Black Hawk Down book, he said the Rangers would often have the little, skinny guys be SAW Gunners. I don't know how common that is though. My brother in law was a SAW gunner and he is pretty massive.

@detectivehoag his head looks too small for a short person, he's just small.  He almost looks a scale smaller, like an MCU figure among Marvel Legends.  Or a Cobra Island figure among modern scaled up figures like CI Firefly vs mainline Firefly, CI Trooper vs Crimson Guard, etc.  

I think most people were expecting him to be larger than average.  This just strikes me as a situation like the Steel Brigades where he's going to stick out in a bad way.

It's funny too -  because, he's clearly objectively smaller,  but even if he was the exact same size as a normal cobra trooper the bulky armor would have made him look smaller,  so they doubled down and made it even worse.

 

I guess if you keep him off by himself it might not look so bad - or as vicious hinted, maybe keep him over with some of the earlier Cobra Island guys so he doesn't look quiet as tiny?    Sigh.

This figure being too small is somehow all Doc's fault.

Also, height aside, the helmet itself is missing the unique flared-out region underneath the visor that gives his head a distinctive silhouette. This is just a plain dome helmet.
