This is the 2005 UDT (Underwater Demolition Team) version from Hot Toys Military. Hot Toys also released 2 other variants of UDT (I think), woodland version and the one with the MP5. This one came with an M4. After reading bad and good reviews on this figure, still decided to get one. As expected, the wetsuit has some flaking issues especially around the creases. I just couldn't imagine how this figure survived inside a sealed box for five years. It took me 2 hours gearing this one up. I just took my time as some of the parts were really fragile like the dive goggles (thank god I didn't break the head strap, straps and buckles of the tactical vest. My first comment, it only had one extra M4 clip. It would be nice if they included at least 3 more just to cover the sub load that needed four clips. I needed to fill that one up because they are exposed and unlike the tac vest that is hidden underneath the secumer vest. So I took 3 clips from my other figure. Problem solved.. It took me actually a couple of tries just to get it done and you'll be needing a careful planning. Here's a quick run down, 1. put on the tactical vest 2. attach the rebreather (now, this is tricky because you have to run the upper straps around the neck and lower straps around the torso) 3. attach the secumer vest, 4. then the hydration pack, 5. attach the butt pack 6. then attach the two small pouches. I didn't bother to put on the green water proof utility pouch as I have other plans for it. For the head area, 1. dive mask first 2. attach the NVG frame 3. then the comms. The other parts were easy to install and I think you wont have problems aside from the first two areas that I've mentioned. Enjoy the pics below and if you're planning on getting one, do not hesitate! It's a really cool figure!
