We have only gotten one members of Night Force, other than the ones with the Dragonfly, Shockwave with both Crazylegs and Ripcord as Dragonfly unlocks, so that is 3 total which both Crazylegs and Ripcord were not part of the original nightforce in 1989, only Shockwave was.

Yes. However, I'll point out that all of the sub team repaints (BF2K, TF, NF, PP, EW, etc.) came out at the very tail end of the year (around October or November), so most people probably didn't get them until the following year.
It's like the Steel Brigade or Starduster figures. Both started shipping around November (1985 and 1987), but for most people they probably didn't have them until 1986 and 1988 respectively.

Glenda seems much better looking than Scarlett the subtler detailing seems to be less angry night club incident than Retro Scarlett is. I'll be interested to see if they give her the asian eye detailing on the final version. I'm not quite sure how they got that idea in their head for a woman who's supposed to be really really Irish American. I wonder if they will use that same hair on Quarrel if they make her too at some point. I think it would be nice to include the helmet too even if it is a flight helmet I'd say it's 'close enough' to work as an open face motorcycle helmet too. I am a bit surprised they didn't release a render for Nightforce Crazylegs yet though. I wonder if they will skip it entirely and never update the page. I do still wish they'd made a replacement tail piece though the current one being short and the wrong shape still disappoints me. Something I will have to spend a bit of coin on updating I guess (if it's removable). Sneak Peak seems like someone well suited to a giftset or a Retro Card as his archaic gear is a bit more forgivable that way. Much as it would be for Mainframe, Dial Tone and Psyche-Out so long as they card them the original gear is great, but it would look silly on a normal Classified release.. which then begs the question would they want to make two set of gear. I guess not. It did cross my mind that if they make Mainframe's Battlefield Computer more like a battlefield drone controller / missile guidance set up that would work to some degree. But I might think it is a bit odd if they left the very old fashioned gear... sometimes the original gear is better sometimes not. Low Light and Gnawgahyde and to some extent Shadow Tracker seem a bit lacking in that regard. Other times they change stuff for the sake of change like Mutt and Junkyard.. and I don't hate it as such... I just notice that they changed it. Big Ben for example might benefit from different gear if they ever make him in standard deco. Scarlett's pistol is far to large for her, The Action Soldier's backpack can't store the weapons he comes with.. all little minor gripes but if they keep doing it it becomes an annoying downwards trend I can do without. |

Hope all are well and happy Friday! Just wanted to share that I FINALLY opened up the original version of Barbecue. Personally, he’s a home run. Fun to pose and looking forward to he and Torch having a stand off. Enjoy your day and YO JOE!

You are correct, i missed several NF members that have been released including as you said both Shooter and Big Ben, its hard sometimes to keep up with each, i only remembered at the time i posted the 3 mentioned (Shockwave, Ripcord and Crazylegs), then was reminded about Tunnalrat and now Shooter and Big Big, so there are more NF team members released or due than i remembered, of that group i only have Big Ben

Both Falcon and Outback were both released in 1988 and are the only ones from the original release that have been released so far that havent been repainted for NF so its a logical guess that they could put them in a 2 pack
