Had to do it

Even though we know tomorrow they will extend the deadline ��

I like this sub better than FSS 6 or FSS 4. I bumped my order up to 5 sets, although that's not as many as I ordered of FSS 5. There isn't any serious dog in this one like Windmill or Barricade. There are no foreign figures (boring category) besides an excuse to rerelease Big Boa. There's also only ONE "sub-team" repaint figure (boring category), but it happens to be a popular female character which gives it extra oomph. This FSS managed to figure out how to not make the sub-team repaint and foreign figures the automatic dogs of the set.

Not crazy about Arctic CC or Hawk, but there is solid reasoning for producing both of those figures. Skidmark also looks lousy, just like the original, but he's the stuff of legend and one of the three earliest year figure remakes in the line-up.

Dusty and Stalker were two of my favorite re-costumed Joes back in the day. I'm SUPER stoked about the Kaos Crew, one of my favorite concept case figures. Tomax is a must have to go with his brother. Ice-Viper Officer is from the weak 2000s era of o-ring Joes, but he certainly looks good. Budo is a must-have, but I hope it looks better in person. And Crystal Ball is just the BOMB, the linchpin of this whole series. I also think the face on that one will look a little more toned-down in person.

Hat they've used on the Oktober Guard.
Lifeline's head.
WORMS coat.
Ult CC legs.
Any arms with ungloved hands. (Not sure what though)

If they do him then they might be able to retool that hat.
I hate the Russian hat used for Joes. It is just a whole different design than U.S. military dress hats.

but that would make her like Grand Slam all over again!

I feel like I have missed nothing in this set.

Blonde Covergirl is one of my top most wanted figures. You could knock me over with a feather if she ends up the 13th figure. Just like with Kangor, there's a huge rationale for rereleasing a repaint of her because the original is so expensive now. My gut tells me she'll fill the Kangor slot in FSS 8.0 and not be a mystery figure though.

That would be quite logical for her to have a slot in FSS 8. I hope the thirteenth turns out to be the original General Flagg or Sparks.

I wonder if they extended the sign up? It was letting me subscribe. I stopped at the credit card information because I already got my sub yesterday.

Absent some incentive, sending more emails isn't going to get me to subscribe. Either offer a discount or some additional content and I might consider it. As it stands, there's still only 3-4 figures in this set I plan to get, so it's not worth $400+ to me.

I passed up getting the sub but am having regrets, so if they do extend the deadline I may snatch one.
