Yes, I know its early and the best figures, IMO, are yet to come But I cant help but feel a little "Eh!" so far. I knew before I even ordered that the Tiger Force figures were going to be sold as soon as I got them. So I was really looking forward to the second shipment. I got them today, and felt they were REALLY bland and underwhelming. I think Widescope is the best fig so far, but even there they dropped the ball on a few things, again IMO: hat falls off, the shield grip is positioned wrong, and WTF is up with the sculpting of Lamont? Why does he look stoned and not like he does in the freaking card art? Unreal. And Skullbuster is a repaint that does not pop, and has his own issues: his carpal tunnel hand, and another ammo belt that doesnt look right. Alot of these complaints stem from the price points and just a general feeling these figs should rock across the board. I am already thinking I will have to take a real hard look at v 3.0 before I opt in, Who else agrees, disagrees, etc?

Well I half agree with ya man. I'm a whore for tigerforce. The second shipment I was stoked to take them out of the box but the more I looked at them the more they didn't do anything for me. They are both for sale as well.
On that note Im looking forward to every other figure! |

Yeah, Widescope is my only like so far out of the first four. But that just means Dragonsky, Big Bear, Tollbooth, Keel-haul and Cesspool are still to come out of the next 8 so things are really looking up from here on out.

I'm 3 out of 4 and only don't like Skullbuster because of those long arms. The rest of him is cool.
LOVE Wide Scope. Instantly one of my favorite figures. Shipwreck and Air-Tight are cool.

Well I'm no fan of the sub groups so I sold my tiger force guys, although I thought they were nice looking figures. Still they were just repaint a. Now the second 2. I'm a big fan of Skullbuster, at least his concept and art. The figure is kinda lacking. Don't like the skinny legs at all. Not a bad figure mind you, but Skullbuster was always a big guy and this figure just doesn't have that feel. Wide scope on the other hand I like. He's basically a shockwave wanna be but I like the execution of this figure. Looking forward to the next ones.

As you said, they've gotten pretty much the two weakest shipments finished straight out of the gate.
With the figures that remain, only Bombardier is "weak" (IMO). Since they seem to be shipping somewhat in "themes" (First shipment - Tiger Force, Second Shipment - "Nu Sculpt Era" figures) I'm gonna guess that the following shipments remain: Dragonsky/Big Bear (Oktober Guard) Night Force Falcon/Cesspool (Sub-Team Leaders) Toll Booth/Keel Haul (Vintage Vehicle Drivers) Bombardier/Desert Scorpion (Uhm...Guys with a lot of Yellow?)

I am satisfied with these figures so far. The ones I am looking forward to now are Scorpion and Keelhaul. SB is a fun figure, happy to add him to my Range Viper unit and WS is sweet and its nice to have another dog on the K9 unit.

I'm a sucker for a new/unique head sculpt. My issue is the new sculpt heads have their hats permenently on their heads...I bought sure fire&topside just for their heads.
I bought a squad of wide scopes,because I'm also a sucker for shocktrooper repaints...even that is kinda tuff to justify since I was just buying white shocktroopers for $10each,and red ones for $20,and tgey came with two fodder figures. Widescope was the ONLY figure I wanted from FSS 2.0. Because of the head debacle. |
