The original Zangief released in ARAH G.I.Joe was an OK figure, but not really impressive. The head was very well done and showed a great resemblance to the videogame character. Unfortunately, the rest of the figure didn't. Yes, the colours were the same, but that's about it. I loved the subject of Digital Beatdown and trying to make a better Zangief was a great opportunity to enter the contest.
