I wonder if it might be Falcon in his original colors. We're getting the other Night Force figures done up in their original colors (even Lady Jaye in the 50th line) and it would be easy since the club has already used that tooling.

I hope Levantine is right. '87 Falcon needs a proper update finally and as the 13th figure it'd be perfect for all Lev's reasonings.

This guy is my second choice, as an alternative to Miles Mayhem or the like. He's again obscure, Joe related, international in nature - but has never had a non-5POA figure made of him to my knowledge. He also finishes off a convention set. (Albeit not in the same sculpt).

falcon in original colors would be cool. If it was I'd sell my NF one off but I want concept case gung ho more than anything

That Baron mock up makes me wish that the whole FSS 3 would be Action Force characters.

I don't want any international figures personally

Well for The Baron I'd use AoCI Zap for the Head, Storm Shadow v43 for the Torso, DoCI Alley Viper for the Arms, and various Club Adventure Figures for the Legs. I'd do the torso, collar, arms, & pants in white w/the center part of the upper torso in the black w/Red Shadow emblem. The belt, gloves, and shoes in black. As for accessories I'd give him Retaliation Cobra Commander's rifle, Cobra Commander v42's pistol, Alley Viper v11's knife, ROC Covergirl's computer, and a new mask.

I'm with you on this. Quarrel, TNT and Bombardier were lowest on my list between the two FSS so far. Maybe if there were more AF figures offered up through retail or a Con set they might be more appealing.

I usually work out a full part set like this for every idea I come up. I currently have 'plans' for about 4-7 convention sets. Give me a character and a couple hours/days and I can usually come up with a full parts list. Unfortunately my painting skills leave something to the imagination.



To each their own. I personally own Bombardier, have Quarrel in my top ten want list (never can find her when I have the money), and well I have to agree with ya on TNT (but that's about not liking his looks).

if the line had more figures that were international I wouldn't buy the set,but it all would depend on what good joes/cobras there were in the set. I don't want to buy it to sell half the figures

Someone on one of my Facebook groups suggested Fast Draw as the 13th. Here is my take on him: ME Fast Draw I'd go with a new helmet, Airtight's head & arms, ROC Heavy Duty or POC Dusty torso, Flash or ROC Heavy Duty thighs, samurai Snake Eyes' lower legs, DG Snake Eyes feet, Dusty's smg & the POC Duke backpack.

The club has used the Airtight body and parts to death... they need to give all those pieces a rest now.

And Fast Draw needs a lot of new tooling to make him unique next to other Joes but also to live up to the coolness of the original figure. Same goes for his gear IMO, the quad Nerf canons from Duke just aren't a good substitute.
