You're right. It kind of does.

If it is the same head, I'll be amused as I gave that same head to my Grunt customs. It's the only one fugly enough, IMHO.

As much I love the brand, I just can't support this subscription program.
None of the figures presented so far have wowed me and premium figures should do that.

It's their first FSS line up and it should be so amazing that we should already be looking forward next year's line up, but it's not.


I agree with this, I just don't see anything that makes we want to sign up, if these were available at retail I would have passed on most of them at $7 each.


I couldn't agree more with both of you.

There are three figures in this line up that should have had me lured into buying the sub: Quarrel, Jinx and Cover Girl.

Of the three, only Jinx looks to be a legitimately great figure. If the colors were a bit more to my liking, I'd be planning on buying it.

But Quarrel inexplicably has those awful 25th Scarlett legs (the cancelled comic pack got around that by subbing Lady Jaye legs).

And Cover Girl has no neck and an awful headsculpt.

The rest of the line up is packed with repaints I wouldn't buy anyway. Too bad.

Ummm nope you are mixing up Scarletts. The one with LJ legs was the winter version.

Depends on the figure, and the person (naturally). I think everyone has the same concerns with the pricing, but in general (other than the frequent "I could customize something better!") other people seem to like the same ones as we do.

Yep, that's pretty much what I see. But over all, other than the fantic fanboys that will like anything, nobody is raving about these. Everyone pretty much has the same thing to say "If they don't cost too much I'll get them but otherwise I can live without them".

When was "quarrel" ever scheduled for release? Both figures, as I recall, were in the same prototype pipeline. The "quarrel" figure was pictured before the "winter" figure, but both were developed at the same time for seemingly the same purpose.

And who cares? Those Lady Jaye legs rock. The Scarlett ones suck.

Quarrel would have come with a Z Force Ram... possibly as an Alpha Vehicle. She would have slotted in with a number of other Cancled 25th Alpha Vehicles and their Drivers who saw later release as movie toys.

Chuckles w/ Silver Mirage
Dr. Mindbender w/ Snake Armor
Tomax w/ Ferret
Xamot w/ Ferret
Recondo w/ Whirlwind
etc...

I wish they'd release that Silver Mirage still.
