Released in January 2021 as part of the second wave of Cobra Island Target exclusives, there is no question this is a high quality figure, but fans are split on how Hasbro approached and executed this Firefly. Some fans appreciate the modern aesthetics he has, including the E.O.D. inspired bulky bomb-squad armor and remote drone, but others are disappointed and want a more accurate and faithful version of the Cobra Saboteur. Thankfully, Hasbro listened and an all-new-and-improved and more classic-inspired Firefly is coming in 2023!
Firefly comes with the following gear and accessories: a machine gun, a backpack, a flying drone, a remote pad, a remote timed explosive device and removable goggles. Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

I'll give him a 7. The vest is what I'm taking points away for. Too bulky. Too in the way. Too hindering. I also take a point for the gun. I don't even know what the hell that's supposed to be. Other than that, it's Firefly. That alone is worth about a 6. I probably would have given him an 8 if the drone had more paint and/or detail.

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.

9. The bomb suit vest really throws me off, but I can't not be amazed that he looks like a great "modern" update.
I assume in my head he's got the bomb vest on because Cobra called him in to disarm Joe bombs. |

The vest almost ruins this one for me, but I like everything else about it so much that I can't call it a dud. And it's not that they updated his design - the vest is just way too restricting and bulky. It interferes with the figure's profile and poseability.

Yes, I'm sure I'll like the "classic" version better, but this figure is still a "9" for me.
I think the vest gives him a "Metal Gear Solid" vibe and I love the sculpt on the head. I also like how all the weapons can be stowed on the backpack. This is still one of my favorite figures in the line. |

Firefly is a great figure. If it wasn't for some outstanding figures that came out after him, he would be rated higher. I'm looking forward to a vintage-styled version.

I like that Firefly a lot.The only problem I have with him is the peg on his gun.

I don't have him, but I don't like him. Don't fuck up a good thing, as you can't really improve the 1984 figure. He looks like an EOD specialist, not a saboteur or sapper that would quietly sneak through the wire. Save the drones and shit for an updated Scrap-Iron or an anti-armor Viper (cool idea for a HEAT Viper).

I know it's not classic but it fits the theme of the line, building updates to classic figures which this does well, so it's 9 from me
