Yes, but you are comparing 1984 to early 90's (1992?) Where the line was waning, everyone was becoming a ninja (because ninjas were a thing then) amd the neon colors went with the vibe the line had at the time.
A saboteur is someone who wants to get in and back out quickly and safely without being seen as they achieve their objective. There are no bright colors, uneccesary sound and movement and anything that hinders them like a flak vest are non-existent. It's kinda like CC hiring a sniper. And the dude shows up, with a rocket launcher in tow. What's the launcher for? Well, I'm the best of the best, but just in case something goes wrong and I have an accident, I'm bring the launcher.

I think I may give this figure a 7. I also was not a fan of the overly bulky bomb squad EOD suit, since Firefly is not an EOD. He plants the explosives and gets the hell out of there as quickly as possible before they detonate. It doesn't make much sense why someone who is trying to stealthily plant and arm explosives in a really fast manner would wear a bomb jacket since it would severely hamper his mobility, speed and ability to get in and out of a location quickly and unnoticed.
The light gray deco also throws things off for me, I feel like FF should have been much darker and more of a charcoal and dark gray camouflage. Also, would prefer he is wearing his classic jacket outfit.

Why even be into explosives when you're a NINJA MASTER, anyway? Could just be a total assassin instead. |

If they truly put that much effort into basically making a new Firefly as an exclusive, that means there's a good chance we'll finally get a classic Scarlett in the Walmart line.

I'm thinking (perhaps just dreaming) we will see classic Firefly, Scarlett, Duke, Flint and Beachhead all sometime in the future. Maybe even Roadblock with a ma deuce.

This figure was a hard pass for me, and Firefly is one of favourite characters. I ended up getting a grey camo Valaverse figure as a placeholder, though never got round to setting up my Classified figures.
