Maybe I'm more of a casual fan than some here but I would be perfectly fine with a Tomax that used the same suit but with the flower on the other side.
Having the side on which the vest buttons match would be ok if it meant we could get the suited twins. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

I meant the Z-Force that was repainted Joe figures. I did make a custom Jammer and Gaucho before when all there was available was Quarrel. Now I'll have those 3 released as modern figures.
Here they are but Jammer has been replaced by club one and so will Gaucho next year. I do want to make some of the 5 POA but still trying go track down vintage gear for a decent price. I have some ideas already though.

I like Steel Raven the way she is--I think she's quite classy-looking--but I understand the arguments about using her original color scheme. She is a product of the 90's, and if the figure is meant to represent that, then yes, I think it's fair if she has her original colors, rather than something more modern and subdued. That's one of the reasons I'm so happy about the Viper--they didn't try to apologize for the eye-searing color scheme. They just stuck with it.
Who knows? Maybe someone can start a thread or a poll or something on the Club's website to see about getting a color scheme change, if they haven't already. If the build itself is locked in, then changing colors should be comparatively trivial, if that's the way it winds up going.

Color scheme changes worked previously (Spearhead), but I think since the deadline passed it's a little too late to make any suggestions to that effect.

The free figure is a woman in this FSS. Unless you meant FSS 6.
This Xamot isn't a proper match for the cartoon version. It's an exact match for the Shattered Glass version. The molds aren't there to do the reverse suit figure. So I specifically think they chose the SG version because they know it's impossible to make a second body mold to do both twins. That continuity only has one twin, so it was a way to do something complete. They were going to be happy with this being the final sub, with no intention of doing the other twin and I still think they have no intention of doing it.

RE: Tomax - I would also be fine with the same suit mold but with the flower on the other side. That's good enough for me!
RE: Steel Raven - I'm happy with her the way she is. Maybe she would have looked better in blue, but as is I think the black/brown colourings look funky (good funky). The torso is a bit jarring. The smooth upper half with the wrinkled lower half. I thought maybe they were going for a corset look, but that white stripe runs all the way down her front...so I gather it is meant to be a full shirt, just with different texturing on the bottom half. I'm choosing to look at it as 'fashion forward'...you know, for a GI Joe figure!! |

Ah back to normal I guess JJ, because I will disagree here. While you may be correct that the may not have had intent on making his "twin" because of this particular continuity and the possibility of this (at the time of conception) being the last fss. I think it would just be foolish not to do. Agian you are right in that they can't do the reverse suit. But I think most of us would be more than happy with the simple flower on his lapel just swapping sides, that and his scar looking like they are just paint apps this shouldn't be an issue.

One piece of evidence in favor of getting Tomax is that at joecon, Xamot was sold as shattered glass, with the nod to sunbow added presumably afterwards. So, maybe once the club got the extension, that was added to leave the door open.
