As a figure, the Crimson Shadow Guard is kind of cool. The CG uniform looks pretty good in black. But, as a 6 pack of the same figure with crappy weapons, the Crimson Shadow Guard set was lame and heavily clearanced in 2005 and 2006. Today, the figures are more popular. Though, I still find the greatest value in them by giving a Fred head to one and an Agent Faces head to another. These guys make for high ranking Cobras who haven't, yet, earned the rank of a code name. Despite that, I still have a ton of loose figures left over from clearance purchases. They're not bad, but don't see much use. A look around found a nice mix of review's of the figure from when he was released as well as some more modern takes. Here's the best of the Crimson Shadow Guard from around the web.

really liked these when they were released, but there isn’t much reason to own more than six of them. those duke arms are still an incredibly dumb choice.

I took a regular Crimson Guard head, painted black and grey and stuck it on a Shadow Guard and it loo

I think I said already, it was a waste of six pack. Either one of these should've been in the Night Watch set or the CG six-pack.
