His big eyes are feral, they're slitted like some wild animal's. It's a bad guy thing I guess. Give his otherwise cuboid head character.
No clue, but they do go well with the overall look of his face and body. It's kinda funny, imo, how his face actually looks like the Decepticon logo. The toy, for only being a Deluxe, is very accurate to the show, including a majority of his pop out accessories, and what appears to be a spring loaded missle in his main gun. I do hope his torso gun can retract and be able to go into his torso somehow.
off topic a little... but he seems like a voyager or is just me. I mean have you seen the other deluxes... Swindle looks huge!
He's definetly a Deluxe, and looks like an average Deluxe to me. Longarm/Shockwave on the other hand, looks like he could very well be much taller than the average Voyager class figure.
