I have a serious question.

Why can't they produce more and lower the price for the subscription? It seems if they produced enough to cover all the collectors, customizers, and army builders, the figures could be produced/offered for a lower price point.

Oh, then it would not be special and they wouldn't get the $$$

My bad.

They did not even give her all the Retaliation Jinx weapons.
Especially the naginata staff which the original had.

This is definitely the weakest figure of the set so far. I don't mind it that much, but I agree with the sentiment that it would probably have worked better as the 13th figure.

If it was the 13th figures people would have complained that it was so bland, not complained to Grand Slam levels, but they would have complained, these are GI Joe Fans we are talking about.

Just no sizzle with Vypra.

Then they'd end up sitting on the stuff that doesn't sell, like the DTC Wave 4 figures they had made but are still sitting even after sales.

I lament the lack of camouflage, but overall, it's not a bad figure, and I like the addition of the Cobra emblem, something the original Vypra was distinctly lacking.

What the heck, there's been several versions of Jinx over the years, who's to say Vypra doesn't have a few different outfits? Maybe this is what she wears when she's not driving the Rattler/Stinger vehicle that had the same camouflage paint job.

I don't mind different outfits but this is just boring and so not worth the Club's pricetag.

To me, it works. Yes, the outfit is a bit plain. But she's dressed in Cobra Blue. No way she's going to be mistaken for Jinx as such.

They are sitting on the DTC wave 4 stuff because it hit when the 25th line started getting shown to us. "newsculpt" was dead in the water as soon as we saw something better.

as is, this is meh. my issue with the club stuff is that for every awesome figure they do, there is always a dud, and you got locked into buying both.

This is the weakest of the bunch so far. Why is she purple? The grey/white on black looked pretty cool and evil to me. I'm cool with things not being exactly the same, but this just doesn't wow me.

Well, I suppose he set needed at least one complete dud.

Was hoping for the airbrushed camo, but I still like it and want it.

I think she looks ok, I was never a Vypra fan anyways. Glad she does have scarlett's legs rather than the complete figure just a jinx repaint, Sure she's probobly the least interesting so far though
