Torpedo

Navy SEAL and all around bad-ass. First 3 3/4" version was okay for it's time, but he really didn't get a decent upgrade until the Spy Troops era. Chief Torpedo was created. Torpedo in land ops gear rather than a wet-suit.

Hasbro created a 1/6th version that pretty much sucked. Shorts and a t-shirt and a boat. Yeah, probably good play value, but no, just no. Excellent head sculpt. I've seen it described as "Kirby-esque" in reference to the character designs of the great Jack Kirby. yeah, it's a great head sculpt.

I found a SWAT Sheriff 21st Century Toys carded uniform set at Joelanta a couple years ago, got it for a great price and Torpedo was reborn in 1/6th scale.

I like him! Very well done in my self-centered opinion. Your positive opinion counts as well!
