Looks great minus the obvious crap choice of those Retaliation wave 1 Roadblock lower legs. I really don't know of any other figure that has lower legs that'll fit and color match exactly, otherwise I'd just do a swap. Then again, if he's driving a tank, maybe it doesn't really matter.

There is a lot I like about this figure, but Hasbro using the wave 1 Retaliation legs with single joint knees and no ankle articulation ruin the figure. Even the first modern figures which came out in 2007 for the 25th Anniversary had double knee joints and ankle articulation. This is a step backwards to reduce articulation. It's even worse here because this is part of a premium set.
While I like a lot about this figure I feel the Club's Night Force version is a superior build. I'll be passing on this one simply because I refuse to buy figures of such low quality builds. |

I think this figure looks great! Who cares if the articulation at the knee and ankle is not there!
Those articulation points don't work worth crap anyhow! & this guy is a tank driver!...do you need articulation in his ankles to sit him in a damn tank...? |

I like it a lot, but why would they destroy the figure with no ankle articulation!!! It's an SDCC figure with POC parts. Now I gotta find new lower legs that match, or paint match and use 50th BH legs. I'm terrible at painting joints, as it rubs off right away.
Dammit!!! If you answer Yes...you are lying! |

I just like my figures to be Action Figures that you can play with if you want. Limited POA just kills it for me. To each their own I guess.

Had the club given Steeler and Night Fox those less than ideal Resolute legs to go along with Grunt, I would've been satisfied enough. Last edited by AlphaWarrior; 07-01-2015 at 11:26 AM.. |

Is there an official date when TRU will be accepting orders? I went home on break to get last years set, without a hitch, and would rather do the same to get the Hiss/Skystriker set.

Isn't this the Hasbro exclusive set, not the TRU exclusive one? Iow, good luck trying to get it at HTS.
As for Steeler, I hate the legs lacking articulation. And the damn stupid gold star on the helmet is idiotic too. The rest is pretty good, but not really enough to save it. |
