Though personally, while I understand the the lantern iconography, I think using it in the bandolier is just a little too "clever". Conventional rounds would have looked stronger, and more on point to me. The little lantern cartridges don't read as ammo so much as little building blocks, which I don't think was the intent.
This is, however, one area where the Tweeterhead has it over the (arguably more impressive) XM 1/6, which is basically the exact same pose/concept.
In the XM, having the beam from the ring flow out and back behind the figure to make the construct looks odd.
With the Tweeterhead, having that backward flow become the ammunition for the construct gives it a distinct, logistical purpose.
Manhunter looks solid too. I envy the people that will have the space for an array of these as it's shaping up to be a quite appealing line- the unfortunate missteps so far, notwithstanding.
