Operation Monster Force has been no stranger to creative variants, and the Legions Con Exclusive Eraser stands as one of the cleanest examples of how to do an event exclusive right. Built on the same proven buck as the standard release, this version immediately distinguishes itself by going fully transparent — head to toe — including the weapons and gear. The result is a striking, almost spectral take on the character that feels intentional rather than gimmicky.
The clear construction works surprisingly well with the Eraser’s tactical design, highlighting sculpted details that might otherwise fade into the background on the regular release. From the layered vest to the strapped gear, everything reads clearly despite the uniform transparency. It’s a simple change on paper, but one that dramatically alters the figure’s presence on the shelf.
Accessories and Gear
Where this exclusive really shines is in its accessory loadout. The Eraser comes generously equipped with a well-rounded selection of gear that matches — and in some cases exceeds — expectations for an event-exclusive figure. Included in the box are two shoulder harnesses, an assault rifle with suppressor, two pistols, a holster, knife, goggles, forearm wraps, a clear display stand, and the standard assortment of interchangeable hands.
The fully transparent treatment carries across all accessories, which reinforces the cohesion of the figure rather than making it feel like a parts swap. The weapons in particular benefit from the clear plastic, giving them an almost experimental or prototype aesthetic that fits the Operation Monster Force vibe nicely.
Articulation
Articulation is identical to the standard Eraser release, which is no bad thing. The figure features a modern, highly functional articulation scheme including a ball-jointed head and neck, butterfly shoulders, hinged shoulders, double-jointed elbows, swivel wrists, ab crunch, waist swivel, drop-down hips, double-jointed knees, and rocker ankles. The clear plastic does not appear to hinder movement, and the figure holds dynamic poses without issue, especially when paired with the included stand.
Packaging
The biggest downside to this release — and the one notable complaint — is the packaging. Instead of a traditional box, the figure arrived in a clear plastic bag with an Operation Monster Force logo card placed on top. For a $39.99 price point, the lack of standard packaging is disappointing, particularly for inbox collectors. While understandable for a convention exclusive, it would have been nice to have at least an optional boxed presentation.
Final Thoughts
The Legions Con Exclusive Eraser is a textbook example of how to execute a convention variant properly. It offers a visually distinct take on the character without locking essential content behind an event-exclusive wall. The fact that it was briefly available online after Legions Con gave collectors who couldn’t attend — myself included — a fair shot at picking it up.
While the lack of standard packaging stings a bit, it doesn’t overshadow what is otherwise a very cool and thoughtfully executed release. Not an essential pickup unless you’re a completionist for the Operation Monster Force line, but a standout variant nonetheless and a welcome addition for fans of the character.
