That Muskrat is a thing of beauty. All of this figures are fantastic so far.

Muskrat is great, as I was expecting. I too feel like all five reveals so far have been really good, and this is shaping up to be the best FSS assortment yet.

Yeah, I don't really see a dud or anything I don't want this go round. 1 and 2 were hit n miss and I sold off some of them right away.

Interesting swamp boogie board. Is there really such a thing?


Interesting indeed because the Night Force one did not come with it.
Conspiracy theories abound!

Vypra will be the next reveal.

If that's all they were going to do with her, I think this would have been a good contender for 13th figure. Not every collector has that version of Jinx, not everyone wants a Vypra, but it would be something special and unexpected. Instead, this is a pretty bland repaint with a less interesting paint job than the original. She looks more like a generic female Ninja Viper than a distinct character.

That's why I can't get on board. That's not a $30+ figure. In fact, I could even see this as a dollar store repaint offering. Zero new parts, and the most interesting accessory is a briefcase.

Now, would I use one of the 5$ Jinxed to take a crack at customizing the character? Sure.

Just saw the pic.

Completely agree with DOTD's comments. Every. Single. Word.

Meh.

Just a blue Jinx. With Renegades Scarlett legs.

None of that funky camo the original figure had.

Why?

No surprise here, except for the legs. They couldn't even give her the airbrushed camo?

You know what they could have easily done to set her apart from Jinx? Given her a trooper helmet.

Not really impressed, but it's what I expected. The original was just a Jinx repaint. :-/

Does the club tool any new parts besides the head? Pluv just made me think if they had sprung for a new torso they could have made Vypra a female Cobra trooper. Would have been a nice twist and I don't think anyone is too attached to the original Vypra figure to demand an exact translation. Plus the torso tooling could have been reused for Bombstrike.

Have to agree, not exactly wowed by Vypra. For $30 we should get more than a minimal repaint and some parts mixing.

Yeah but it was a GOOD Jinx repaint. Like it had a butt-kickin' airbrushed camo. This is just Jinx in deep blue.
