The boots are also molded onto the figure, and are not the hard plastic of the original. The soles are shorter, and not hollowed out as are the originals. There are injection holes in the rear of the figure's forarms, thighs, boots, buttocks, and between the shoulderblades. The paint may be similar to automotive paints made for flexible bumpers. Both figures have copies of Matt's face.
Plastic seems a bit harder.
The black stripe on the bottom is painted in and thinner, not a strip of tape. The helmet does not sit flush on the figure, there is a slight gap in the front. It does however, fit nicely on original figures. The thighs don't hold a tight bend as well, so these guys will look a bit awkward on the Cat Tracs. Basically, remains to be seen as the collectors get their hands on enough of these to mess around with.
