He looks really cool, except for his mouth. It kind of looks like Charlie Brown in a Robocop outfit.

I really enjoyed this series too, but I must say I was really disappointed with what Lego was able to come up with for an Advent Calendar. It had so much potential, and yet it all seemed very underwhelming. When you first started I thought about going out and getting one for myself because it seemed like it would be a lot of fun, but now I'm glad I didn't drop the $35.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "Wastrel." I usually take that to mean someone that is a spendthrift. What does that have to do with being confrontational? And I'm not even sure which figure you are referring to as a wastrel.

"The fascination all began back in the sixties when toy manufacturer Mego introduced what was essentially Barbie for Boys "

Umm...Mego didn't start making action figures until the 70s, and even then GI Joe predated those figures by almost ten years. I'm not sure if you were trying to get a different point across or not, but as it is right now, you make it sound like Mego was the first company to do "Barbie for boys", which just isn't true.
