Finally got my hands on the last part of the 3 Gi Joe Dioramas ( i posted pics of Snake eyes and Cobra commander earlier in the thread ).
It might be my favourite of the 3 but they are all sooo good and so underrated. First off the sculpt and paints on this again are just so good, SS really nailed it on this line.
I just love the details on this and the overall pose. Flint up to his knees in water, Zartan ready to pounce, the mask/disguise on the tree, the vines and details on the tree, it's all just excellent!
Also the vines are removable as they just clip/hang on the tree above.
The EX, which is Zartan covered completely in camo, isn't needed at all in my opinion, it looks ok but the regular Zartan looks far better.
I doubt SS will go back to GI Joe in statue or Diorama form any time soon but i really hope they do.
