I like how they keep "slightly changing" the load out for Night Force compared to the standard version. I don't mind them using Shooters chest for her, even if it may result in her being rather flat chested (like poor ol' Shooter also is).
It is kinda interesting though how we have several things now that complement Night Force that are not branded as Night Force or in this case branded as Night Force but in the original colour. It crosses my mind that a "standard green" shoot would still look a little different to this due to the different base body, even with a shared chest plece. Perhaps I can hold out some hope for the Maruaders complementing things that are not branded as Marauders. Anyway I am pretty pleased with both of those Falcon has a nice head, a convenient Helmet I can use to cover up the ugly face on the old figure too. I might use an open face helmet on Quarrel though so you can see her pretty face. But it will be so nice to have Scarlett, Quarrel and Glenda all so close together - that pleases me greatly. I'll absolutely be buying this set & playing with it lots I expect. //// P.s. I agree this version of Falcon is very likely to be the one that they use for the Marauders repaint. I will admit I am not 100% keen on all the weapons included here, but nothing deal breaking really and nothing I can't easily swap out. The new Steel Corp Commander should look great with those two as well. Last edited by RedAlert Rescue; 07-18-2024 at 10:33 AM.. |

Now those colors on the Night flForce 2-pack look much better. The green looks richer, a nice light grey to play off the black and then some zesty red/orange that is just short of what I would say "pops" but still looks better than they have been doing.
A+ for improved colors and lots of good parts in that 2-pack for kitbashing if you don't like them as-is.

Never heard of Quarrel and don't collect Night Force so I'm good. The new Falcon looks better at least.

Not remotely my thing, but this is excellently executed. Great job to the team. Even as Falcon’s biggest hater of all time, I have to admire that new head. Quarrel getting in on the line is great news.

Is that a new head sculpt for Falcon? Or just a repaint that does away with his weird fish lips?

I will buy the 2 pack to get Quarrel.... I wonder how easy a head swap would be for Falcon? (if it actually IS better in-person....)

This means I am definitely buying two and I sure hope the better looking head fits perfectly on the original figure (same neck ball, please).

That is a different body than the original falcon had, right? Its going to be crazy if that head doesn't swap to the old body easily.
