Honestly, that might be my favorite figure that I've seen the club make. It's pretty much exactly what I was hoping for. That head sculpt will match the card art pretty good, except there probably won't be much art visible with that kayak in there. I'm gonna try to rein in the price hikes a bit and say that I'd happily pay $40 for that figure.
Did anyone else ever think that the original ARAH Stalker v.2 looked just like the cop on Baywatch?

So here is a mock up of everything minus the arms and hat. The arms arm pushed in or adducted as far as possible. They don't flare out too much. The ROC RB belt is a little loose, but fits well when pushed all the way down.
Here is the vest on a torso with those arms. Again, it doesn't flare out too much.

Man that head does sit low.. thanks for posting those pics. They should just use that whole upper combo from 50th showjob.
Just an FYI zone the arms are actually adducted as far as possible. Abduction would be lifting the arms out to the side

Nice, this version of Stalker was a fav when I was younger. He's definitely on my buy list.
Now I just have find somewhere I can actually order him from since BBTS doesn't do preorders of the FSS figures anymore. |

I think Stalker looks great. I understand the complaints about the legs as they have been used so frequently. They are definitely not the worst possible choice but not the best either.
Likely an availability thing. I personally like the head sculpt and it was expected that they use it since it’s a club sculpt they had previous access to. If I could change one thing it would be making the pistol holster on the vest a working holster. Again not something the Club can do.

Looking at your mock up, I think the biggest issue with this figure’s build is the head and torso combination. Clearly, the parts don’t fit together well. |

So they can do the entire kayak with side module and the big gun that goes on top, in addition to his rifle and paddle, and reportedly a knife, but including the correct number of Rock & Roll's miniguns is too much to ask? lol
Quote:
There isn't a tooling cost, but that's a separate mold (for which there is a cost to put into production), with several parts, with the same plastic volume as about probably two thirds of an individual figure.
That takes up significant cost disproportionate to the remaining figures in the sub. Therefore if one figure essentially has the cost of two, those overruns have to be made up elsewhere, and we get Dusty, Jinx, etc. rather than something like Downtown, Lightfoot, etc. |
