FSS 7.0 from the GI Joe Collector's Club Discussion

Looks good. That back-pack is the better of the modern flight-packs, and I dig the build. Some actual pose-ability will go a long way. I think there are better gun choices, but that's what Marauders is for, I suppose.

And it'll be nice to have this guy be able to remove his helmet and not have a giant bowl under his chin. (...but the vintage Hawk is still pretty killer.)

I would imagine they picked the one they did because the ROC Hawk Jetpack's peg may not be long enough to go in the hole due to the thickness of the webgear.

A good build of an ARAH figure we haven't gotten before in ME.

Thanks for checking on the web gear fit Blackice and I'm glad to hear that everything matches up!

Full disclosure: I'm not that much of a fun-pub fan due to their communication issues, attitude, pricing and quality, but I am reasonable enough to stand up and say "Good Job" when they do something right and I hope this figure makes the '91 figure fans very happy!

Wow I think this one looks terrible. I would have preferred the gold and brown suit over the black and green. To each their own I guess.

"Clever girl"...

Not sure I dig the rubber helmet choice, but it suits the original design at least. Never was a huge fan of this figure, so I don't have a dog in this fight, but he's OK I guess.

I do find it odd they went with this deco.

I was expecting the 25th Ace helmet rig.

I have to say the original figure was long after my time so I never had much interest. The figure looks neat to me and is the best reveal so far.

I was too, although admittedly that rig is kind of janky, and doesn't work very well functionally (it's passable on Ace, but nearly unusable on Deep Six). So this might be for the better, even if it's less "accurate."

I wonder if in FSS 8.0, if there is an 8.0, will they repaint this Hawk and give us our first ME Star Brigade figure. It'll be begging to be repainted as Star Brigade Roadblock.
