4 out of 12 a subscription does not make.

Yep I wasn't going to post the news this time, haha. The info was so messed up on Cover Girl's showing...

This looks cool and would add to the list of the few I'd want out of these. It's just the usual, they showed a figure without price...

I see a chin under the edge of the helmet. Looks like it is removable to me...

It's a nice looking figure (and pretty much exactly what I expected in terms of parts used), but would it have killed them to try and use different knees?

This isn't specifically a slam on the Club, because Hasbro slapped kneepads on a lot of the forthcoming Dreadnoks, too, but I think kneepads are lazy on designers' parts, especially when every other aspect of a figure is so close to spot on.

I now want about half the figures shown -- this guy, Jinx, Quarrel, Topside (x2), Sure-Fire (x2) and Grunt (x4). So, unfortunately it looks like I may have to pony up for the subscription and try to sell off the other figures.

:(

I think it lives up to the hype. So cool he comes with those accessories. Head sculpt is good. The body is predictable but the best available choice. One of the best of the FSS.

Nice! Big Boa is a character that I was fine not having since he had no presence in either the animation or in the Marvel comic, but I really like the figure and the included gear. I thought the Club would reuse the DVD pack Duke / Hit 'n Run straps, but it looks like the Club has actually tooled up straps that match the original.

It's also nice to get the Resolute Roadblock body in Caucasian skin color without having chest tattoos like with Road Pig, though unfortunately I probably won't be able to stock up on this figure.

I like it, that makes 4 out of 12. Not the best ratio ever.

Yeah that chin part also makes me think it could be removable.
This is another one that I would sell off.
So I like 8 out of the 12 looks like I will be getting the subscription. :shifty:

Now THAT is what this subscription service should be! Awesome figure.

Part of me was hoping they screwed him up somehow because I'm not all that enthralled with any of the other figures. Now I'm pretty much suckered into getting it for just this one figure.

I can't tell from the pic. It could just be an angled bottom to the helmet.

I blew it up on my phone, definitely part of the helmet. It doesn't mean he won't have a separate head, but I'm leaning towards no. I feel like they should have at least incorporated the padded codpiece into the harness. It'd sell the figure even more. The less accurate boots/legs are a bummer, but there aren't any other options, so I'll take it as is. Even with some of the less exciting figures (really only want about half of the lineup) I was pretty comitted to getting a sub. This figure makes that pill easier to swallow.

Ok then it's that cream colored helmet throwing us off.
Who is going to repaint him? http://www.yojoe.com/action/int/br-kangor.shtml :-D
