I can't afford to go all-in right now, but I ordered six figures to start to get the 10% discount. I let my kids help pick the figures, so of course I'm getting the one with the dog.
Most interested in the ninja and robo-ninja dudes. |

These figures are really cool. I need to get some funds together for these guys and the In the Navy stuff.

I ordered Shadow Dragon, Jaguar, Okami, Leonidas, Death Sparrow, and Kestrel. I'm very excited for the figures, but not so much for the packaging, which was surely at least $5 of the cost.
Unlike a lot of folks on here, I don't value colored line art...like...at all. It looks like Deviantart trash. Kestrel's mouth and nose are also particularly badly drawn. When I come across art done this way, I can practically see the Photoshop layers being turned on and off. It's a shame I'll be chucking the packaging in the trash, as the actual materials it's made from look to be very high quality, but if there was a way for me to get these in baggies, I'd be all over it. I may cut out the profiles if they're easy to fit in the cardfile with my Joe filecards. I'm always disappointed when a company that's doing Joe-adjacent stuff doesn't provide an easily clippable file card.

I personally love the artwork. It would be super cool - however - if these lines offered an army builder option where you get bagged figures instead at a cheaper price for the extras I'm sure to get.

I got my Delta-17 figures in today. All of them are really good but Death Sparrow is definitely my favorite of the ones I got. I think she would fit in great with the Oktober Guard. I wont be going all in on the line but I will be picking up a few more here and there.

I got my figures today and I haven't been able to put them down. I only planned on opening a couple, but now all 6 are on my desk and posed for battle. I'll be ordering the other 3 that I want this weekend. I can't see any reason for complaints on the artwork. I like how it takes up more of the card. I usually throw away all the packaging, no matter the line, but I'm holding on to these.
Having the wrist swivel makes a much bigger difference than I thought. I really like how easy it makes it for them to hold their weapons. And the hands themselves are great. This is the peak of articulation. No more is needed. They're great figures, but even better TOYS. |

I definitely agree on the wrist swivel. I wasn?t sure how needed it was going to be but it adds quite a bit to the figures. I also was surprised how light but sturdy they feel. Ive been messing around with the articulation a lot and at no point did feel like anything was going to break. My biggest issue I have is some paint slop on one of Death Sparrows hands but that is easy enough to clean up.
