Funny to read the post here and then on the GI Joe club forum, everyone thinks Barricade looks "fantastic" and one saying he "looks better then the original". LoL yes I know the moderators are strict on the forums there..
Not a bad figure in his own right but to be based on Barricade is a disappointment, I will buy him but will use him as a Delta-6 Accelerator Suit battalion team leader like I did with my GI Joe Voltar . Quote:
All the talk about not signing up or reducing the number of sets ordered is definitely concerning considering the impact on future runs of the FSS.
No doubt low sales for this one would jeopardize the sub going forward. I hope minds start changing with reveals but they are just going to have to be better. These first two lack any pop. I'm in regardless but they had better get Billy, Pathfinder and Outback right. They need home runs on those three. Those three are "selling point" figures. No doubt about it. I am a bit concerned about only two new heads though. I wonder if this is due to the Club allocating more money for Pythona this year... I hope so. That would be good on two sides... better Pythona, and hopefully a return to more new parts for FSS5. |

What head is under that helmet for Barricade? Glad that they went with the blue, since that is what I associate with him. What is the helmet they used? This is pretty much the recipe I expected body wise. It made sense. Barricade was a pretty tone deaf choice. I am pretty sure that he hasn't even been nominated in the greatest characters poll. He seems pretty low on everyone's totem pole. Is there anyone actually excited that we are getting him? I'd like to get one of every Joe member, but I won't pay club prices for a figure like Barricade. I figure that most folks are in the same boat.
The FSS version looks off with the helmet and arms, and I think they are the main reason why he's not getting much of a warm reception.

I loved barricade...this one needs improvement for sure. Torso and helmet and lose the rise of cobra missile Iauncher. think the weed whacker will just be the zarana weapon for pathfinder. since the description doesn't say anything about being new. And btw the box set is expensive and rare cuz we havnt received our Homefront sets....it will drop drastically. The souvenirs are a different story though. I tried my best to haggle but still paid almost 500 bucks. And I seem to be passing on annihilators again. so assuming the 13th is frostbite I have a TF Frostbite, TF Alpine, FSS Alpine, TF Shipwreck, TF Airtight, NF Falcon, Tan Grunt all for trade/sale.

Maybe it's a good sign for the FSS 4's 13th figure as well!

I guess I'm in the minority on Jammer, he looks great. Solid parts, looks well put together. I also really like the foreign characters. I do think the use of the accelerator suit is a bad choice, especially compared to the arctic Destro body that could've been used. Probably a DG Duke head under there, seems to be used all the time.

I'm all for more Action Force/Z Force figures! I'm super excited to see Jammer in this lineup so far.

Please refresh my memory. When the Club listened to our suggestions and made changes to HnR and NCL from the initial mock-ups to the final product, were those just changes in paint apps, or did they use different body parts? I know NCL was just a change in paint apps, but I can't remember what was changed for HnR.
Anyway, can we make some constructive comments to the club to see if they can make Barricade better? Whether its changing the trunk to moneybags Destro, or just using longer arms, please club, try and make this figure better.
