Man, that abortion makes me glad I never knew who TNT was to begin with. Time to restore that status to him.

Can confirm the helmet does not fit the blowtorch head. I had to do a head swap when I made mine.

Unless the rest of these are absolutely stellar, I think this one just convinced me I'm better off tacking a crack at the characters myself if I want them on my shelf. I know they're not THAT drastically different, and maybe it's just because I made it, but somehow mine doesn't strike me as quite so ridiculous.

I have to admit it's amazing what a difference the blue made for the fig, the Sub fig is way too bright but this one works mostly and I am convinced it's the blue.

I wonder if a vintage Doc helmet fits.

Well besides the color difference with the original it's what I expected. I'll take him.

So far not a single one of these is a must have for me. Still waiting on Big Boa to really decide on getting in on this or not although it's bound to be a hefty price to pay for one must have figure a few complete turds and some meh's. Cover Girl could push me into it too but all in all the o-ring comic pack version I think fits decent enough with the modern stuff.

Seems like a good time for a new head sculpt & helmet.

Agree about the blue diaper crotch ruining it, also think the elbow rivets should be blue to match w/ the lower arms.

As someone who likes every figure so far, this one is the only dud. It's a good representation of the original, but I'm not that impressed with the original.

Not feeling it. I appreciate the need to bring in some of the international characters, but what about the classics that have yet to see light of day (i.e. Night Force Falcon that was already in planning stages, Psyche-out, Big Boa, and though he's at the bottom of my list...Sneak-Peak). I think Hasbro's gift for reinventing part combos is wasted on some of the offerings from the sub service. Just my opinion though.

Well, Big Boa is supposedly one of the remaining figures to be revealed, if the rumored list holds true (and so far, it's been spot on).

TNT and Sokerk (tan Grunt) makes me want the remaining Argentina exclusive characters, especially [non-chrome] Cobra Mortal.

Sparta was a crossover character in both Brazil and Argen so they already covered her in MB II. No need for SOS, Condor, Antorcha, Sigilo, or Fuera de la Ley because they were pretty close to the US characters unless the Club goes really creative with the physical appearances to make them unique.

Forgive me, but I'm actually interested in seeing Sure Fire. I always liked that figure, and can appreciate the need for a CID officer on the team.

I'm holding out hope for a Double Blast as the 13th figure. Not sure if they have access to those parts though.

At the very least, I expect he'll be better painted than the original version, which I have, and the silver paint was so sloppily applied you can see the brush strokes...

Overall, I'm impressed. Not really a character I expected to see!

According to the leaked list that's proven 100% accurate thus far, Big Boa will be one of the other figures offered by the subscription.
