its funny, half of Hisstank doesn't even know who the character IS (people really need to bone up on the new sculpt versions)



Yeah but... HISSTank... A lot of those guys get caught up in just trying to get a post count and really don't seem to know much about the product line. They're just there to BS.

But yeah, I like this figure. I'm still not really a fan of the blind fold idea. That's more cartoon than comic... which I was more of a comic fan. I always used it as a headband instead, hehe. But same as always... still need to know how much.

that is pathetic



well you figure a lot of current collectors are those who just came in on The 25th construction, or were just RAH collectors..a lot of people skipped the new sculpt era.

I wonder if these reveals is to get us all hooked on the crack, THEN they reveal how much its gonna cost us.. they HAVE to have production figures and money by now...!

Finally a figure that isn't stupid. Still... Not one I would pay more than retail for, but I readily admit to being super cheap. The figure does have a nice look though, even though I always hated the blindfold gimmick.

I like this figure, but i don't like the hip sheath for her sword, seems like it will hinder her poseability and i don't like the blind fold, everything else looks really great & those forearm swords are killer.

the club just posted that the Sword sheath and the Blindfold ARE removable, for those who were wondering

https://www.facebook.com/GIJoeCollector ... 9347783472

And two-thirds of the fanbase not screaming for rehashed ARAH designs? :shifty:
The last thing I'd want is a bunch of ARAH retreads like that Tan Grunt. It's good to see the Club surprise us with a little creativity & not what everyone was expecting.


That said, really jacked that we never got City Strike Scarlett.

Okay, this one is freaking awesome. I was wondering which direction they were going to go since Jinx's baggy red suit wasn't replicatable, and this totally kicks butt. Nice to see the City Strike Scarlett accessories being put to good use here.

If anyone's hating on this one, hit me up and I'll gladly take it off your hands.

I would have preferred a head sculpt that looked more like Jinx from the Movie...

The Resolute Scarlett body choice is solid...it's a great sculpt...

That Hip sheath looks like it will get awkward.

This looks like a 2nd figure I would seriously consider keeping.

Tan Grunt and Topside are the two I've been most disappointed in, the rest have me interested.

I have to say this was a great surprise, but I'm left feeling I could customize most of these with the amount of reused parts we're getting. I guess it's going to come down to:

-How many of the offered figures do I really want on my shelf?

-Would I be saving anything by getting all the pieces to make them myself?

Still, I'm feeling that at under $20 a figure, I'm in for the set. Seems like wishful thinking at this point. I get the feeling if the price were going to be reasonable, we'd have heard it by now.

Yes, I read that...but when you remove it, what do you do with it...Pile it on the ground around her? Stuff it in a zip top bag? Does it leave a big hole in her thigh when you remove it? Can you use it as a back pack?

Saying it's removable doesn't change the fact that it will be akward
