I'm all for the club making Sgt. Smasher a more unique character, and even changing up his look, since Slaughter's is so iconic. It will be pretty disappointing though if a Slaughter figure isn't included somehow. Maybe he'll be part of a 2 pack released at the con or something.

I don't hate him, because I really wasn't expecting a Slaughter look alike, and I like new characters. But man, saving him until last was some BS.

Hahahaha....wow! Well, hope those of you counting on making your money back on an extra set were not counting on this guy to get you across the line! That’s why they didn’t show him first! It would be there first year with zero attendee packages purchased! OMG, my sides hurt.
Sgt. Smasher a.k.a Troop Leader the Molester, a.k.a Smokey McPole I needed a good laugh today. Thanks FunPub!!

Sgt. Smasher is not what I was expecting at all, but I do like him.
Yeah, the picture makes him look short and stout, but if its the ROC Heavy Duty body then clearly its just the angle. Can someone stretch the picture a bit and post it here, make it look more proportional to the Heavy Duty figure? It would be awesome if someone could do that. I do kind of agree with this sentiment, though: But at the end of the day, I'd rather have something unique like this rather than a really bad Slaughter rendition (like a skinny Wild Bill head, that would've sucked balls).

They should have gone Special Missions Brazil vs Python Patrol. We could have gotten:
SMB Wetsuit SMB Mainframe with new head sculpt SMB SDCC Flint in SMB Colors SMB Footloose SMB Chuckles SMB Scarlett Just sayin.....oh well, another $400+ saved! So glad I didn’t go against my gut this year!!

Curious to see what you all think of my idea:
If they wanted to do SM and wanted someone to lead the team and they usually have one or two ‘stars’ in each set - why not have ARAH V1 colors Falcon using the BBTS 7 pack build with the 25th backpack? Falcon already has a connection to Slaughter due to the movie and the club comic could have gone into how he learned from his past mistakes and steps up to lead the team in saving Slaughter. Would you all have preferred a proper modern ARAH V1 Falcon in the set to lead the team? |

As a new character, they could have named him anything. By using an international Slaughter name the Club deliberately pulled a dirty on their members (me included, Homefront Hero set).
Even if you like the figure, the Club was unethical in choosing that name. Not looking forward to Night Force or Tiger Force Sgt. Smasher in FSS 8.
