I understood your point.

No they shouldn't.

My reason for bringing him in is that he also has "highly offensive" aspects to his vintage design irregardless of whether or not you see or refuse to acknowledge them.
Nam, your efforts to explain how Quick Kick is problematic is "
di Bonaventurian
," at best.

I have long said that Quick Kick needs to be in some sort of A.C.U. inspired uniform that relates to his speciality. Being that the precedent has set in a post course correction world with R 'n R, the initial and main release of Quick Kick should be of him in uniform while the v1 inspired figure should be a store or fan channel exclusive.
