I really like Repeater. I'm tired as hell of seeing that goddamn vest, though, but the figure and head and colors look fantastic. Hit & Run is weird with that Lifeline body, and Spearhead looks all sorts of jumbled together. Colors on H&R are okay, but the paint apps on the eyes makes that head look bad... Grrrr.
New Max, but if Spearhead looks like ass, what good does a new bobcat mold do?

Haha. Previous days I was only on my phone, but I had a chance to add them this time. And MW was late with just one pic? The hell!
Repeater is dope as fuck. If he had a better vest, and in classic colors he'd be spot-on, but I don't give a rat's ass if he has two gloves or not. I still like the NF colors on him.
I really dig Repeater the most, then probably Muskrat and Psyche-Out, Frag-Vipers, and then S.A.W.s.
Besides the new head, new arms on H&R, and maybe colors, he's all wonky parts-wise. And besides the weird international repaints that I couldn't give two half-fucks about, I'd say maybe Spearhead is the worst cobbled mess as far as parts and colors are concerned. They should've used the POC Dusty torso with RnR web gear.

You know, I just got these shit-brown pants. All I need now are some neon turquoise boots and gloves! Then I'll be ready for the southwestern gay pride parade!
Spearhead is just odd. I think a repainted POC Dusty with different arms would have worked alright. Is this the international repaint? I thought he was dark grey with Dark Brown vest.
This set is a definite pass. I just want HnR's harness, Muskrat's boonie and maybe Repeater's head sculpt, but I think Krexx's recent Repeater sculpt is better.
Repeater is the only decent one in the entire set. I was kinda digging them....but after the reveal tonight....fuck em.
Wow... don't really know now. Repeater is nice, Spearhead is shit. Hit & Run looks alright to me. I'll definitely slap some camouflage on the face and arms if I decide to get him. But still, $360 for Muskrat, Hit & Run, and Repeater? If I go through with this, I'll be selling a large chunk of this set
Repeater is great.
Hitn'Run stole FLint's shirt and trousers.
Spearhead and Max... um... no... just no.
I don't mind the SAW-Viper's colours that much (but it's easier, cheaper and better lookoing just to use the existing PoC/30th IG body for customs).
Well... that set isn't worth it.

HitnFail breakdown
Head-new
Body- lifeline with the original Toy Fair lifeline knees.
Lower arms- concept vault Flint.
Helmet/goggles PoC Dusty
Parachute harness- Toy Fair Lifeline.
Pretty much, this would work as an updated para rescue lifeline since no one runs into battle dressed in red.

If they showed a 25th trooper with a 25th hawk head painted to look black and called him Cool Breeze, they'd still go apeshit.
Hit' Run and Repeater are ok. They're definitely the best figures in the set. That being said, what the hell prevents us from being able to kitbash nearly identical figures of them (if not better figures) ourselves for a fraction of the price?
Yeah, and I think the second movie flint has them too.
I hope at the next press event we see some more figures using that 3pack Firefly torso.
I don't even know what "mechanically inclined" mean.
As far as I'm concerned these kitbashes on JoeDios are just as good as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, Ultimate Flint does look to share the lower arms as well. Definitely better than the 25th lower arms with rolled-up sleeves.
I hope there are more that use the vault Flint torso as well. Interesting that the Club didn't use it on their HnR. I would love a variant of it with just a plain tee under the button-up.
Those lower arms never worked for Flint. They're totally Duke. Everyone bitched and bitched when 25th Flint first came with those same Duke arms, and then were so happy when he got the "Flint" lowers, and now everyone's gushing over new "fixed" Duke arms? I don't get it. Also, that turtle neck doesn't look right on Flint. That concept Vault Flint is no more "Ultimate" Flint than the Sunbow 5-pack Flint was, if you ask me.
I never expected Psyche-Out to be a figure I'd like, but I like the NF version, minus his silly gear. He looks exactly like Matthew Modine, though.
Spearhead would look 1000x better by simply replacing those ass-tastic teal-green colors with black/charcoal or a dark brown. Check out the edit:

I think the basic figure would of been a fantastic Flint. But honestly Hasbro should of just made a new collared shirt without the sweater. That's why I'm looking forward to the Retaliation Ultimate Flint. Figure actually looks like a nice, modern Flint.
Which is why I'm not buying. If I have to change every color or swap out parts it sure as hell isn't worth it.
Don't we have them already?...a dunce cap or the crying one?...do we have those?
How bout an emoticon of a smiley blowing the Hasbro logo?
Like I said before, if Hasbro threw an actual cat turd in a blister with "GIJOE" on it they'd go apesh!t...
Me too...I REALLY like that torso a lot, even on Flint
there is the harness everyone here was clamoring for
Of course on a figure thatll cost $100 eventually
...may as well still be just a concept
