Packaging: Standard graphics on a boxed 12" action figure. There is no historical info provided for this tank commander. There is a solarized photo of a tank on the back of the box.Headsculpt/figure: The "KENT" figure brings a headsculpt with the helmet molded on, and another head with the same face and no helmet molded on. The molded-on helmet makes this Dragon figure look like a cheap knock-off action figure. This molded-on helmet gives this figure a kiddie-toy Gumby look. The only plus is the Dragon-style body.
Outfit: A nice Desert Storm type of camouflage fatigues. Nothing special, it is not even the jumpsuit style which is often used for the Tank personnel. This is just an Off-The-Rack uniform which is probably being used on all the other Desert theme figures.
Gear: A machine gun, a map satchel, and a very nice leather shoulder holster and pistol. The Dragon body, the shoulder-holster and pistol makes it a good deal at the $24.99 price.
Overall: For this KB Toys exclusive, Dragon comes out looking like POWER TEAM, or any other third rate Hong Kong trash-toy manufacturer. Anyone who had never bought Dragon on the internet and did not know about Dragon figures would see the "KENT" figure and think that Dragon was not much in terms of quality. The molded on helmet alone looks really bad, and the paint job on it is third-rate. I wonder if Dragon bid this job out to some other company? As a collectible KENT makes a good door-stop and you can use the helmet-head to balance the short leg of an old sofa. The helmet-head version looks like Randolph Scott, the 1950s B-movie actor.
