Lower legs are Snake Eyes, upper legs are Lifeline. Same combo that Lifeline had.

And I agree, those legs are good but they are rapidly approaching the saturation point.

but we don't even get the concept vault version's web gear
I would not have minded Alpinista too much if we already had the concept case one.

From the Club's twitter...

I hope the Club Twitter account response is true and they are looking into correcting this. Still, why even make a reveal that implies you aren't going to make the concept case version when (1) that's what nearly every collector has requested and (2) that's what you claimed you would give us. I mean, how many times in the past has the collecting community been as united as this in expressing what they want?

...the "it's gonna be okay" is kinda [LASER BLAST]. You're asking us to shell out $300+ on these, stop acting like we should just shut up and take whatever you feel like giving us.

"Alpinista" IS Hit & Run!
If you'll look at his packaging, you'll notice the "Nome de Codigo: Hit & Run".

And it's not a very good update of him either way. Where's his laser pistol, his heavy machine gun and his golden, back-mounted rocket launcher?


Still can't believe they ditched the parachute harness and duffel bag for ROC Artic Snake-Eyes/POC Rock-Viper's big clunky backpack. So much for "light" infantry.
(to say nothing of still not using the Firefly chest in favor of the Lifeline one)

Because that's the figure image they already had loaded up in Photoshop. So rather than create a "reveal" image from what they should be giving us they took the lazy route and tried to sneak one past us.

What I'm reading into that tweet is that they haven't started production on these yet which means there is very little chance we'll see them before the end of the year.

It's entirely a repaint of the NF one which is just Lifeline.
They also locked their forum thread.


I can see them giving him the green skin. After looking at the figure for a while I think that is the most minor problem.
He needs that new web gear! The Lifeline torso also does not work! If they could switch the torso with Alpine it would be better. Otherwise no web gear will fit with the holster protruding out like that. And where's that duffel bag?

Yeah, if this is Hit & Run, he's one I'm going to sell in favor of my existing custom.

Definitely would prefer the concept case version.

Give him green skin, a shock viper torso, retaliation beach head webgear, and the bag.

Why they didn't use the NF accessory loadout baffles me.
They could skip the mines of course.

Okay, I wasn't the biggest fan of the Night Force Hit & Run from the Convention Set. There just wasn't a lot about that figure that reminded me of "Hit & Run".

This does. It's a decided improvement over the NF version.

Although I do miss the green face and arms from the original. I always liked that. If the Club makes that revision, then I'm fine with this figure.

This is not horrible, but it is disappointing. The concept case version was awesome.

Why even DO Repeater if you're deliberately going to omit his steadi-cam machine gun rig?
