I posted the following message in the FSS 4 thread, don't know how many like-minded tankers there are, please ignore if you've already read this.
I wonder if we could get the following message out to Marauder John. If enough people feel this way maybe it might; a) get the club motivated to improve their offerings, and b) help Marauders Valkyrie project unlock more of their stretch goals for their next kickstarter! Hey marauder John! See how underwhelmed so many of us are about next year's FSS so far? If your Valkyrie project is going to be anywhere near as good as the task force, I'd happily divert my FSS money to support your project instead! I only need to have some details about Valkyrie before July 15th! |

Pitting Marauder against the FSS is a little bit sticky, because Boss Fight is involved in both projects. I think in the long run, though, MTF is going to steal a ton of business away from the club. Look at how many Joeverse characters we can make with just one body type. Imagine when we get another 2-3 complimentary bodies that can be interchanged with the existing parts. We won't need the club anymore -- we may not even need Hasbro.
John's style has been to just spring his KS out of the blue. Not saying that's the right way or the wrong way, but that's been his style. So I don't know if we'll get another tease before the project launches. I mean, I have a pretty clear vision of what I think Valkyries is going to be (female version of MTF1 with same uniform and decos so they can blend in with your existing forces). I could be completely wrong, but if I'm right, a tease wouldn't be all that exciting. Last edited by SmokePants; 07-04-2015 at 01:45 PM.. |

Smoke pants, I don't know if it would be pitting one against the other. Does Boss Fight get paid by the head sculpt or do they get a bonus if more FSS subscriptions are sold? I don't know. If so I suppose there could be a conflict. If the club sold 20% fewer subs this year and Valkyrie happened to debut during the enrollment period maybe it would motivate the club to put a little more thought into their parts choices. We hear these non-specifics from them about how Hasbro limits what parts they choose from, but who knows? They could use the retaliation SE arms for the iron anvils and undertow, but couldn't use them for Metal Head? There are a half-dozen vests that would have looked better on him my a mile also. Many have complained that the club has no competition. I wouldn't want to do away with FSS, but if I have $400 to spend on action figures, I can do 13 figs for FSS where maybe half of the figures are worth the $30 each I'm paying for them, or I can to MTF admiral level, which gets me 27+ figures and a bunch of accessories. (Sure, it's only one sculpt in different colors, but we've all seen how much variety can be created with that quantity and just a few joe heads.)
Anyway, I don't want to do away with the club or FSS, just thinking that with MTF and boss fight creating their own product, the club might put more effort into every FSS figure and we could get a consistently better product. |

Yeah, same here. Come payday I'm going back to the MGR website and loading up on a ton of gear with a few blank figures. Too much custom potential to even contemplate at this time.

With MTF, everyone came nice and bagged in a small box. So much less wasteful. |
