Cairo Swordsman

by "John Lukasiewicz" <luke65@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 12, 2008 at 04:02 PM

....from the Indy collection has a SA Joe body. I hadn't seen that posted 
anywhere, so that was a pleasant surprise when I opened the package. He
has 
a light brown skin tone, so if you're looking for an ethnic SA body, this 
might be it.
 Overall, it's a nice set. You get 2 s****s, a cobra and a rattler, that
are 
molded plastic, not bendy. Both are menacing looking. The cobra has blood
on 
his fangs. The sword is pretty well done, looks like it might be in scale
or 
close. He comes with a set of generic looking boots, that could fit well
in 
a medieval/fantasy setting. And a black robe that would work well for any 
number of bad guy applications. The red sash is so-so, but it works well
for 
the fig. And of course he comes with the turban/head wrap thing.
 The face is a snarling dude with beard and short hair.
It may seem kinda weird, but this figure could work as-is as an Al-Qaida
in 
Iraq type. Complete with sword for decapitation.
The only real negative I can see is that some of the silver paint from the

sword bled onto his hand from being packaged with it so tight. But, that 
should come off with no problem.

Overall, this is a solid A, IMO. I wish they had done the Indy's more like

this, instead of with the gadget-bodies.
