Today, I had a little extra cash and decided to pick this pack up. I had originally intended to use the SS for a custom but and have the Firefly as a bonus but that SS proved to be useless.
Also, let me just say this ismore a review of Firefly and the comic more than SS. Which is to say, this is the last you'll hear me discuss the SS figure. Starting...... now.
I was originally going to pass this up all together but months ago Dosser put a doubt in my head when he said:

The only thing I love more than tacos is this Firefly. I think you'll really regret it.
Knowing how much Dosser loves tacos, this sat with me.
<--- This was my reaction when I got the Firefly out of that package. I couldn't believe how loaded with removeable gear this guy was and still managed too not look bulky. Plus, I opened up that backpack and stuff started falling out of it! Removeable gas can and flashlight? Nerdgasm. Would I have preferred his original gun and backpack? Yes. However, I will go on record as saying this is the best Firefly out there. Tons of fun and looks menacing to boot.After playing with Firefly for a bit, I decided to read the comic. Sally and the girls have all been talking about how great these comics were so I was expecting the next greatest thing since The Watchmen.
Wow. When was Storm Shadow OR Firefly ever this chatty? I mean, I can see SS taunting Slice and Dice cause they're they Laurel and Hardy of ninjas, but I digress. When two bad ass characters spout lines like:
Storm Shadow wrote:
I love the smell of burning B.A.T.S in the night. It smells like... GAME OVER!
and
Firefly wrote:
Your not-so-friendly neighborhood Firefly, showing off his ninja SMG skills!
I almost put the book down. However, I'm glad I didn't as the ending where...
was really cool.
Anyway, if there are still those of you out there who don't have this (not likely) I would seriously recommend picking it up.
