I personally fail to see why everyone insists on complaining about Blackout.
If they'd done a popular character...like say Cross County, can you imagine how people would be sreaming how "unfair" it was that someone like that was only available to those who bought a sub for all 12?
Similarly, they couldn't go too obscure (to say Ice Cream Soldier or Dart) as it would de-inventivize people to sign up for the next sub.
So it had to be a relatively popular character, ithout being terribly so. So that generally will mean a later era ARAH figure or popular new Sculpt character.
This is hardly surprizing. And the execution is actually pretty decent. I fail to see the source of the complaints other than the usual tank "complain for complaint's sake" mentality.
Also, as for the new FSS2 not having any game changing figures, lets compare shall we?
Nano BAT ---- Ar Puro - direct repaint of a figure
Quarrel ------ NF Falcon - straight repaint of a recent release
TNT --------- Shipwreck - direct repaint +/- new head
Sure Fire ---- Widescope - repaint with a couple new parts
Iron Claw --- Desert Scorpion - popular unreleased figure
Grunt ------- Bombardier - direct repaint of an OLD figure
Cover Girl --- Keel Haul - kitbash, with accessories
Jinx --------- Big Bear - repaint of an unreleased figure
Dice -------- Skullbuster - direct repaint +/- new head
Big Boa ----- Cesspool - kitbash with several new parts
Topside ----- Toolbooth - kitbash with new head
Barrell Roll --- Dragonsky - complicated kitbash
Blackoug ---- ???? -- kitbash. I'm betting on Bombstrike
THe sole difference between the FSS1 and FSS2 is that there are two who are repaints without new heads. Otherwise every figure lines up for the waves other than people's personal tastes in characters. There's no reason to be complaining to the club about that.
EDIT: i do agree Widescope should have an unmasked head though.
