4-Inch
1. 2-Pack - [Definite BUY] - The BEST OF SHOW in terms of the Exclusives. Even though we already have Chuckles, he is now the "Ultimate" version. Freestyle is very cool too and is the only new Character that we got. - Five Stars 2. ATV - [BUY if you can find it in the mid $50-$60] - I called this from Day one. I think that it is a perfect freebie vehicle for those that are attendee. It really looks good. - 4 Stars 3. Steeler & Flak - [Slight PASS if it goes beyond $125] - Pretty Cool, however, I wished that they had Just given us a different Character Name to add to the roster. It is a very nice update to Steeler though. 3- Stars 4. Night Boomer - [PASS] - I have mixed feelings on this. I am not a fan of the one-seater much but think that it is very cool for those that have been wanting it. I am glad that it does not come with a pilot as I would have had to purchase it at the understandably marked up price. It is an exclusive after all. - 3 Stars 5. Lady Jaye - [PASS] - I wish that they would have used the torso to the "Ultimate" Vault Case version. I am still hoping that the Vault version hits online or retail. - 3 Stars

All of these sets are a pass for me. I think they're fair, but not worth the secondary market prices.

I agree here. The Hasbro Concept Vault Lady Jaye is sooooo much better IMO. And I hope Jmaq1's prediction does come to pass concerning the Concept Vault Lady Jaye and Flint and Hasbro makes them Ultimate Lady Jaye and Flint.

If I was attending I think they would be great. As someone who isn't attending they aren't exactly something I would want to pay after market prices on.
A nice mix of characters, parts and colors that fit the theme nicely this year. Except for the Lady Jaye figure. As other people have said the concept vault looked better, but hey not being an exclusive maybe that means the figure still has a chance at being worked into a mass release at some point. |

Excellent.
Love 'em all. Minor nitpicks (Freestyle's eyes, Steelers small shoulder harness) but overall they're great. And I passed on the Night Boomer but it's very well done.

I'm not sure what is with the headsculpts on many of these but they look kind of weird. Ones like Lady Jaye appear to even be the exact same sculpt as the Concept Case, but the paint just looks all wrong with those beady little eyes, no lashes and smeared lipstick. So many awesome characters (Steeler!!! Lady Jaye!!!!) but they just don't seem quite as well made as other years. Psych Out looks awesome, though.

Some of the figures (Lady Jaye) look better in person than they do in the photos. I really like the Saw Vipers, PO, Steeler, Freestyle, and Repeater (who is just freakin HUGE).
Unfortunately Iceberg is as bad as the photos or maybe worse :( |
