I just got two of them today myself plus a mole rat and some 3rd party missiles for metalhead so I had a real haul today. I did a little mod to rhe necks on mine to i cut a short slot in the back of the neck and it really makes them able to look forward when swimming but you gotta be careful not to go too far or the head kinda comes off easy. The logo on the backpack is different from the original classified version it's a cobra logo instead of the fancy art.

For me, the BIGGEST mistake with the Eel is that you can't remove his hoses from the helmet. When I was kid, I lost the back pack/hose combo and I had the figure with just the helmet. Loved him! So for me, genuine nostalgia is the helmet on with no hoses or aqua lung. So, I have the Amazon exclusive one. The one with achor/eel/skull on the tank. I pulled that hose off the helmet so fast. When you do that, the space underneath the hose on the helmet is transparent for some reason. Looks awful. So I took a piece of Final Faction grey plastic and cut it into a tiny triangle shape and glued it onto the mouth of the helmet. Worked out way better than I expected. Now, I have a Classified Eel the way I always wanted. Just a really, really cool Cobra guy with that badass helmet👍

The difference is the red is brighter on the retro, and a different logo on the air tank. Obviously skin color, but the biggest difference is that the harpoon gun is made from waaaaaay better, stuffer plastic. But i assure you that the reds are different on his body. As well as the grey of his wetsuit.

Duke and Scarlett were banging retro figures and come with a ton of stuff and then the last few they cut mad corners on the accessories no mortor canon with SS and no retro spear gun with the eel ……there more “retro” inspired repaints then 💯 retro figures with the correct accessories. for me that’s the big selling point is getting the whole package I don’t need to buy storm shadow twice because he’s one shade of a lighter white and has gloves instead of bare hands but besides that it’s the complete same figure and accessories

I had a good chuckle at your Eel on the figure stand, I have mine the exact same way, flopping around in a flight stand gripping a single leg so that he's high to look like he's swimming/floating. Really need something that'll hold these guys up better. Cool vid, thanks for the comparison. Is the dive suit a different tone of grey, it's hard to tell, even the reds look the same on camera.

When they first announced these, I briefly entertained the idea that we might actually be getting red-suit Cobra divers. Because it was pretty much either that or the same Eel repacked with almost no change, which of course is what we got.

Wouldn't the paint rub off frequently?
