It's the same head (especially since the reasoning for using the Lifeline torso over the Firefly one was that "it sat loose on the Firefly chest), it just takes a very specific deco to not look dorky.

No pic of Psyche-Out?

Best FSS so far. In some ways using the Night Force figures was too easy of a cop-out for the Club, not having to do anything but change the colours, but at the same time, I'm glad we're getting those figures in their normal colours, so they all get a thumbs-up from me, especially with the revised Hit & Run.

Vypra is probably the biggest let down, as her V1 had such a great, unique paint application that looked like it was airbrushed on, this is just a straight blue paint job.

Night Creeper is definitely an unexpected win. I wasn't sure what to expect, I was thinking something closer to his appearance in the DiC series, but he ended up way beyond that.

Slice, well, like AC/DC, it might be more of the same, but it's tried and tested and unfailing.

Crimson Guard Immortal, I never had any love for these guys, as I like my regular CGs, but this guy was another surprise for me in that he was better looking than I imagined.

Bombstrike, I'm OK with the Ren Scarlett body and Lady Jaye arms, as there are no female figures that look like they have on a non-button up shirt, but I sure hope the final head looks better

Alpine, is at the bottom of the list with Vypra. I'm trying to like the figure, but there's just something about him that's off putting.

With the past two FSS, I have been surprised once I had the figures in hand and my opinion of those I didn't like changed, like Cess Pool, so maybe the Club will come through on Vypra's colours or Alpine will wow me. Overall, the Club has my $$$ for this one. I'm glad we didn't didn't get a figure representing a foreign figure this time.

Pretty sure I or someone else posted pictures of him here. Scroll back through the thread. He was one of the first revealed.

EDIT: Saw the link to the Club's post but not the actual picture so here it is.

I ordered my set today

There's the whole lineup in one shot if you're still on the fence.

_________________

This one's been tough for me, but I think I'm going to have to pass. I only want 6 of them for sure, with 2 more as "could be okay", and the rest are passes.

I am officially subscribed.

I caved and got 2 subs, 1 to keep some MOC and 1 to open.

Repeater, Psyche Out, Hit 'n' Run and Spearhead and Max are the 4 that made me feel I need to get 2 subs. These 4 I had as a kid and I'm trying to keep a 25th style MOC collection of the figures I had.

Bombstrike, Muskrat, Alpine and Big Ben make for good fodder so having 2 of those is nice.

Slice, Night Creeper Leader and Vypra might make it into the trade bait pile.

Crimson Guard Immortal will fit in nicely with the urban Alley Viper unit I've been accumulating so having 2 of him is good. He'll be a squad commander or something.

Your first four, plus Muskrat, and CGI are the ones I really want, and like you, want them MOC plus open (except Hit 'n Run, 5-pack version is good enough for open). Big Ben and Bombstrike would be nice, but I don't have to have. The rest I don't really want or need, and since I just bought a Unique Toys' War Lord, couldn't justify pulling the trigger. Guess I'll hope secondary market isn't too outrageous.

The Marauder Kickstarter got all of my money, but this is a nice set. I'm still gonna try to get my hands on at least Hit & Run and Psyche Out.

Damn, this is tough. I really, really hate subscriptions. Four I would gladly pay the price for, six fall into ones I'd be all over in the store but just not sold on paying that much for, and two are total passes that I'm not in the mood to have to offload when I got them.

Having said that, my top four (Alpine, Bombstrike, Big Ben, and Muskrat) I bet are going to go for a ton on the secondary market, so I'd likely have to pass on them later.

Thankfully, I'm off work today to stare at the pics and make up my mind.

I was all set to subscribed.. then I was reminded that you have to join the GIJCC to do it.... neeeewp.
