Crystal Ball. Stupid looking figure. Stupid concept (even by Cobra's standards of hiring human chameleons, guys dressed like birds or stereotypical mad scientists) Stupid person who came up with the idea and file card. Everything about Crystal Ball sucks. Except a really good photo the late, great Outrider did of him
http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=25664&catid=member&imageuser=120The lesser Ninja Force guys (The not SE, SS or Scarlett figures) could have gone with better colours and head sculpts. NF Scarlett as a concept was great and I'd love to see her in that "uniform" as an ME figure, that's when she became a real bad-ass, but the figure itself is painful to look at.
As far as DeeJay, I have no problem with the boots, but what the hell is up with those colours on v1? At least that part was corrected with v2.
No matter how cool looking the figure may have been, if they came with an "action feature," it severely knocked them down a few points, even if it was like NF SS who otherwise looks normal, but can't really turn his waist.
