I just recently got my hands on the Retaliation Ninja Combat Cruiser. I, like every Joe fan, was bummed about the under-articulated drivers that have come with the recent vehicles. However, as disappointed with Night Fox as I may have been, I couldn't completely dislike him. He had a cool design, and even more so there was something I found charming about the figure. Then it struck me that he really feels and looks like an update to the Action Force SAS Force team.
I only found out about AF in the last few years, but they immediately drew my interest as an undiscovered corner of the Joe universe. Now of course the construction of proper Joes was superior, but I couldn't help finding the old AF figures charming, especially the dark-clad SAS Force.
Looking at Night Fox he so aesthetically resembles an SAS Force figure--all black gear with a yellow-ish vest--and even his stance highly resembles the stances of some of the figures, like the masked guy on the bottom left. I don't know if there was any intent in creating a homage to the SAS Force, but intended or not, it has given me an appreciation for the figure I otherwise would not have had.
Ok, here's where you get to tell me that Night Fox is an irredeemable piece of shit that's worse than Bin Laden, and that someone at Hasbro should be eviscerated for releasing this figure.
