The creative side has been doing pretty good work for the most part. It's those other sides that cause the problems.

I dunno about you guys, but I'm VERY upset that the club won't let me buy 8 or 9 non-para drop figures this year. My ebay store is outraged.

...though I must say that I'm quite enjoying some of the setups for one-liners.

Talking to myself again... but if anyone wants to split some baggies I'm looking for a Skystriker and an Annihilator.

So what's everyone's opinions on the Joecon reveals?
I'm super excited for FSS 4, honestly. Lineup that really appeals to me. I am also excited for the retail stuff, though I really hope the QC is higher on figures like Gung Ho and Zartan than the first round of 50th stuff was...

Overall I'm pretty happy for the retail releases. Some odd choices and some that I'd do differently if I was in charge, but I'll be buying a fair amount.
Really like how the SDCC sets are being handled, so I can still get the new Chuckles either way. FSS opinions will largely depend on parts choices/reveals, but I can't imagine a world in which I won't be getting that Billy figure. One of my biggest "wants" since he first started showing up in the comics thirty some years ago.

Oh, and I kinda even want the TF crossover stuff now. Which is unexpected.

As far as Hasbro goes, these are sets I want:
-Python Patrol Croc Master / Concept Blowtorch -Storm Shadow / Spirit -Shadow Guard / Gung Ho -Torpedo / Hit and Run / Zartan (maybe...not 100% sure) As far as the Club, it looks like "Just when I think I'm out...they pull me back in!"... I don't think it will be cost effective for me to cherry pick the sub figs I want or get Pythona. Now, this is all assuming they come out well and so on, but I definitely would want: -Pythona -Billy -Bullhorn (if 1990 and not 2008 Con version) -Interrogator (if version 1, maybe if version 3, but egads no to version 2 lol) -Law & Order (because it's version 1 finally) -Nunchuk (if version 1) -Pathfinder (if version 1) -Jammer -TF Sneak Peek (really wanted version 1) -TF Outback Too many to cherry pick...

Reposting my Hasbro thoughts from another thread [later comments]:
Overall I like it even though it's repaint city. FFS 4 looks really strong name-wise. Execution... we'll see. Billy, (presumably v1) Law and Order, Interrogator, Inferno BAT, Jammer, hell yeah. I thought I read that it was a Night Force version of Nunchuck, hoping that was really supposed to be Ninja Force. I have zero use for TF Sneak Peek, though Outback could be cool. Also, very surprised to not see Big Brawler v1 in that list. Irid, your Brawler may have a home soon. As for the club exclusives, I'm very interested in a Pythona... and I'm not even unabashedly fixated on female figures! Heartwrencher, meh. She had what, 5 comic panels? Unless IDW did something with her? If they use the Zarana torso yet again that'll be disappointing. It looks like someone draped a cloth over two grapefruits. Also, to the usuals... I have an extra IG-flavored Annihilator on the way. Let me know if you have a need. Otherwise I'm going to try and scalp the crap out of it. I don't think anyone with a spare Skystriker will have a need for another Annihilator (and probably thinks it should be a 2:1 trade based on ebay). My OCD is also pestering me for a Felino... the same way it wanted to keep Sparta. My "rule" on internationals (without rules I'd end up with either everything or an empty bank account, whichever came first) is that if it's a unique character/deco, it's a want. Glenda, Gathilo, Shimik, etc. If it's a near-total repaint of something existing, pass. Kangor, Fuego, Condor, etc. Sparta was kind of stuck in the middle because she was originally just a renamed Cover Girl, but the club went and gave her a unique(ish) deco. So I sold mine off (for much much less than it goes for today). Felino is presenting me with the same problem. It's really just Tiger Force Dusty. But I don't have TF Dusty. I do have those boring TF Airtight and Shipwreck figures that came with FFS 2... but they don't have a US analogue. But they're still just sub team repaints that I don't collect. But technically they're unique characters. So it's not all black and white, much to my collecting OCD's dismay. |
