The head sculpt and costuming are excellent. The bite mark on the back of his neck looks great but unless you turn his head down and to the side you don't really see it.
The costume has nice details but it's biggest flaw is the bloody paint they used on the fabric. It needs more variation in tone to look like real blood. Hands look great and are quite expressive even if you can only turn them.
The paint is both good and bad. In some areas, there are subtle effects that really stand out, in others there needs to be a bit more color to really bring out the sculpt on the head and hands. My favorite paint detail is the red used on what appear to be pustules on his face.
The accessories are really lacking. On Patient Zero, he came with a snack and a newspaper that was printed on both sides. Although I would've liked even more accessories, the ones he came with looked great. Subject five's accessories are his keys and real metal key chain, walkie talkie, watch, metal flash light, and a magazine. The key chain is well done and the walkie talkie is alright although I think it's reuse.
The magazine is quite poor. No printing inside and no pages on the inside, Dragon has made magazines in 1/6 far more detailed then this. I have to ask why even include it?
The flashlight doesn't need to be made out of metal. I get the feeling that Sideshow made it out of metal to make us feel like we got more then we really did. if SSC made the flashlight plastic and included a new snack it would've gone a lot farther then a partial magazine and metal flashlight.
Subject Five has more accessories but they're less satisfying then Patient Zero's snack and newspaper.
If you had to make a choice between the two and you got Freddy instead, then I think you made the right decision. I'm far more satisfied with Freddy then Subject 5.
I'm not saying Sub. 5 is a terrible figure or that I'm completely disappointed, he's quite good but Freddy beats him hands down in value and satisfaction.
And this is coming from a guy who loves Zombie movies more then the Nightmare on Elm Street movies!
