Raptor is given some modern updates and is not solely based on his o-ring figure, and this release also reveals his name “Chip Talon” is something new. Raptor is all-new with tattoos on his chest, biceps and back, which is a new feature for the character. The tattoos are stripes and a repeated pattern, which looks great. He also comes with features on his shoulders, a removable bird helmet, and features on the boots and gauntlets. The pants are brown and there black belt with a metallic silver bird belt buckle, a loose black belt with a holster for the pistol, pouches and straps around the thighs with a holster for the knife. The boots and gauntlets are brown with a blueish-grey tone, and the tops of the boots have bird feet, which is a nice touch.

General Ledger also gets a name for the first-time rather than just called Falcon, as he was called with Raptor’s o-ring release. General Ledger has pegs on the bottom of his feet and he plugs into the gauntlet on Raptor’s forearm (both right and left have this option).

The C-M2 Daedalus Jet Wing Pack has a 17″ wingspan and this might have gotten inspiration from Marvel’s Falcon, which would make sense if the designers behind this figure looked at how Falcon’s wings worked in the Avengers film. The wings are painted in brown, metallic grey, orange and light tan, with turbines on the underside of the wings for take off, but that detail does not appear on the back. There is also the text RIP Wing and C-M2 on the back.

The wings can also close in the front to become armor, and are made up of four parts, with 2x hinged and 2x swivel joints.

The pistol and knife fits in his open grip hands and works great for the character.

The claws are my personal favorite accessories for him and this is something you usually see on a ninja such as Storm Shadow, but in this case works well for Raptor.

His articulation includes a ball jointed head and neck, swivel-hinged and butterfly shoulders, swivel biceps, double-hinged elbows, swivel-hinged wrists, ab crunch, swivel waist, ball jointed hips, swivel thighs, double-hinged knees, swivel calves, hinged and rocker ankles.
