My unsolicited thoughts on the club sub:
Barrel Roll: Should've gone with v1. For the deco they chose, it's a faithful update. The deco is just blah. I like mine better.
Big Boa: We know where most of the budget went. Looks great, though I can't help but wonder if some compromises on him wouldn't have made some other figures better. I'm reminded of the BotCon Seeker set, where they went all out for Thrust and the rest got scraps.
Cover Girl: I don't like the hair color, jumpsuit (as apposed to shirt and pants), or the face/fivehead. The rest is just dandy.
Dice: Bot sure why they went with a regular head as opposed to a masked one. Otherwise awesome.
Grunt: Works as Sokerk. Otherwise meh.
Iron Klaw: Eh. Looks goofy, from a forgettable era.
Jinx: It's not bad. It'll just become redundant if either Hasbro or the club ever do an ARAH version. So I'm leery.
Nano BAT: I think it would've been a lot better in black as opposed to gray. But I'm a sucker for troop repaints, so I'm cool with it.
Quarrel: I already have a blonde Scarlett in Glenda. But it looks okay for what it is.
Sure Fire: Talk about shoe-horning. Poor concept, poor character, poor execution, and poor choice for important tooling money (unless that's an existing head).
TNT: He's even brighter than Blowtorch. And that's saying something. But again, for what it is, it's fine.
Topside: This is the kind of figure I was expecting. Obscure character that would never see retail done up to look close enough. I'm surprised at the new head though.
Overall, lots of solid but unexciting figures with a couple of duds and a couple of standouts. Provided the price (including shipping) isn't outrageous I think I'll be ponying up.
Thoughts?
