I also find myself liking the "Night Force" or whatever Wild Bill for some reason. I think maybe Wild Bill is one of those character designs that may look okay animated or in comic panel but when you put that out in plastic it just kind of looks I dunno tacky or something. I still wish they'd get rid of those pontoon six shooter holsters he has though. Starduster, besides the lack of weapons he obviously has holsters for I don't get why we don't get camo pants at least. Couldn't they have saved the plastic wasted on the holsters and used the 1 cent to get some more accurate pant camo? Other than that the diaper crotch and the loose helmet on my fig in particular good times. |

Wild Bill looks good in black. The best version of him among the 3 so far released. He's ready to join the Night Force.

Finally got an opener set, since my first set was bought about 3 months ago on TRU.com. Found these suckers at retail FINALLY.
I still think Ace is the highlight of this set. Not sure if he'll be my Ace-Ace, as I hate the CP version due to poor paint apps and the silly astronaut suit... Or turn him into Ripcord. I just hands down don't like Starduster as I could care less for the character, and he's a Frankenjoe as far as I'm concerned. Background fodder or drawer-warmer. Wild Bill actually looks amazing in this scheme, best yet (versus the CP set or the original release). I think I'll remove the vest and pop another head on him so I have another pilot and not 2 Wild Bills though. |

this set looks ok...
Ace - he seems to me to be a good background "greenshirt" Joe for planes...also, he'd fit in well with the O13...plus his head, as mentioned is much easier on the eyes...no pun intended Wild Bill - looks cool, but no nolstalgic value for me...again, he'd be a good pilot "greenshirt" Starduster - looks cool and accurately parted togther...too bad they left off the details that made the original...i'll get him only and fix him up |

Hey Eddie, if you want my Starduster, I'm not loving the guy one bit.
He'll be custom-fodder otherwise, as long as I can find a use for him. |
