Guillotine - New headsculpt, mask and sword make a cool looking figure. 2018 FSS Figures: FSS 7.0: Dusty V2 Arctic CC Funskool Hawk Kaos Skidmark Tomax TF Jinx Ice Viper Officer Budo Kangor Tundra Stalker Crystal Ball Hollow Point FSS 8.0: Clutch Red Laser Grid-Iron Bulletproof Lt.

Gosh, if those are the choices, Fast Draw is my favorite so far.

You're right. Maybe forgot to add Heartwrencher also.
That adds up to 49 figures for 2018. That's quite a few for G.I. Joe's swan song.

1. Crystal Ball—excellent head sculpt!
2. Fast-Draw—colors pop, build is great...BT resemblance minor gripe! 3. PP Laser Viper—color scheme is best of this design, great version! Honorable mention: 4. Heartwrencher 5. PP Major Bludd w/fixed head

This is a tough vote because there are a few really decent figures in the lot. I think my shortlist Top 12 would be: Tundra Sgt. Stalker is very good and included the correct accessories to homage the original ARAH figure very well TF Roadblock solid figure and fills another ARAH slot SubZero is heavily loaded and adds value to the arctic Joe team with another ARAH checkbox WORMS Officer certainly looks the part and provided an '80s figure that might not be an easy custom to do, so extra props for that, though he suffers a little from "too short to be a stormtrooper" syndrome with is giant helmet vs body proportions GhostRider is decent but subtract points for the stand label and lacking a holster for his pistol. Heartwrencher female Dreadnok using new parts and looks good? sold. the only non-ARAH character to rank in the top half of my list Fast Draw wish they'd given his handhelds some color, his mask is better than expected but still not ideal, and same with his retread missile launchers Guillotine is done pretty well but not a character I even knew existed Dreadnok Kaos was a good filler in the Dreadnok lineup since he stands out from many other Dreadnoks visually but still adds some flavor to their campy weirdofest of degenerates SM Footloose filled an ARAH hole and provided the expensive Footloose mold for wider availability Crystal Ball was a bit basic but fairly done well. Vest doesn't fit well, iirc. Rock n Roll v2 but they shorted us a machinegun, the thigh rifle pegs and classic rifle, and many felt the color choices were a little off, so he can't win any awards although it's great to have him in modern era I'll have to work on narrowing that down and posting a top three, but I think it might end up being in that order with Heartwrencher, TF Roadblock, and Tundra Stalker leading the pack, though WORMS Officer is a close runner-up for me and Fast Draw is decent, too. Other thoughts: Not giving us a v3 or v4 Sgt. Slaughter in the JoeCon set and also giving us several repaints of existing figures makes me want to discount that entire set. The Python Patrol were also wasted slots to me since they weren't in ARAH but some of them came out pretty decent. I think if the back half of FSS8 were included, we might find Blizzard or Payload to be worth including if they're done well. I think Bobby V had a hand in quite a few of the FSS7 & 8 recipes and that's why some of these are pretty good considering what they had to work with.
