This week is a tough one for me. All of these figures are great figures and will not be leaving my collection any time soon. I'm just not sure which way to go.
Cover Girl: This figure is the only character in this line up that I had as a child. I remember when we got her in FSS 1.0. I was excited as I got to dust off my Wolverine and put her in it. At the time, she was 2nd only to Big Boa as the best figure of FSS 1.0. After learning her head is a New Sculpt re-tool, and seeing the MTF Val. figures, she has lost some luster. I still think this is a strong figure though.
Tollbooth: I ended up buying a Bridge-layer when this figure was announced in FSS 2.0. He goes great with it!!! I like the head sculpt and that he's shorter than most Joes. that adds variety to the Joe line-up. I just hate the forearms and hands. With his accessories, he is another strong figure.
Spearhead: I never knew about this figure as a kid, but I liked him in the NF Joecon set. This version does the ARAH version much service. I don't mind the Dusty head and the orange camo. The only part I don't like is the Shockwave vest. It just doesn't fit on this figure.
Pathfinder: I have no connection to this figure, but I do like the build overall. The vest is a little big, but beyond that, he's a solid figure.
Salvo: I commend the club on listening to our reaction to the "Skinny Salvo" mock-up they initially put out, and they gave us this great figure!!! This build is almost perfect for Salvo. I'm disappointed that his knees are flexed, and he barely can stand on his own. I'm afraid to do the hairdryer trick and stretch the knees so he can stand up straight. Knowing me, I would probably break him somehow. I may display him kneeling with the launcher over his shoulder. I don't even mind the launcher piece either.
Rampart: I like this build a lot, and I'm glad he has eyebrows!!! I just have no connection to this character. This is a solid figure, but he will not be winning my vote this week.
Kangor: This figure was great to pose with Big Boa,
but, I already have this figure in Big Boa. I didn't need another one. It would be funny if the repaint of last week's winner, is this week's loser.
Fast-Draw: To me, this figure does not look like Blowtorch. I think the paint, missiles, and legs make the difference. I like this build, and I'm glad people got a highly popular figure. I just have no attachment to this character.
SF Falcon: We finally got an "Ultimate" ME Falcon!!! I just wish he came in his V1 colors. I have been able to kitbash a V1 version, but it still would have been nice. I was way out of Joes when Sonic fighters were around, and I'm glad people were able to add to their SF ME collection. It does bother me that the sleeves were not painted. I just looks off when this is done on ME parts.
This week is tough, because Cover Girl is the most sentimental to me from this line-up, and she is a great build. BUT, I'm going with Salvo!!! I just love the parts, paint, and the accessories on this figure.
This week's best of the worst is Pathfinder. Out of all all of these figures that I have no attachment to, this one is the most "Meh" to me.
