My quick review of Wave 8
T.F. Flint - This has replaced the previous Flint as my "go to" Flint. The head has been reduced in size and the arms make this figure a 9.5 in my book. Hopefully, we'll get this Flint in his original colors later on.
Baroness - I know it's the same body with a different head and improved hips, but the head sculpt makes this one really a decent version. I know some people don't like the blue / yellow suit, but I'm a fan of the comic and I remember the early issues where this was her outfit. The green glasses actually look good. I added a little paint to the lips and right now this is my default Baroness.
Snake Eyes - The last version that we've got was awesome and this one follows in those tracks. Sure it's an enviroment limited figure, but he looks cool as hell. Since this is the same body as the Snow Serpent that's gonna be a really nice figure.
Roadblock - Why are his legs bow legged? The tiny head really shows up against the vest. The half attempted paint job on the arms make it look bad. The hands I can get over due to the use of the open hand to hold the ammo belt, and the vest colors don't look that bad...However, did we really need this version?
Major Bludd - I thought that he'd be half-way decent out of the package, but that doesn't help. Hasbro really dropped the ball on this one. The open mouth facial expression, non-moving arm, and the the Zartan legs just ruin it. On mine the lower legs don't match the upper legs so the two tone brown just really stands out. I'll be doing a custom as soon as I can find another HISS driver and the Wave 4 comic packs.
