Even if they were going for the vintage SB V2, they just look weird.

http://www.yojoe.com/action/87/steelbrigade_2.shtml

And if they were going from the Vault figure, then they missed the colors there, too. They're just too "basic 8 Crayola" colors. Although the colors would theoretically go with some "Eco-Warrior" neons, I guess? So maybe that's their angle.

Unlike the SMB2, Oktober Guard, or Night Force set, there's no unifying theme with the Joe half of this set. It's what, a random ninja, a vault figure, Outback, and then a couple Eco-Warrior figures?

And I thought the Lab Rat was the weakest figure in the set. :rolleyes:

I think it's really close to the concept vault figure. It's just the shittiestvdesign in the vault.

I just think Hasbro hates us.

Actually, the club loves fan boys. Thanks to them this joke of a club prospers and can get hacked so people's personal information can be stolen. Hasbro probably only allows them to use the license so that they can watch people pay too much for things they will not make.

There is indeed a they copied me thread and a you are not a true collector if you so customs thread. It's kind of pathetic , but I look at it like going to Walmart on Black Friday. I don't have to buy into the chaos , but it's fun to watch.

To be fair, even the Stankers aren't eating this one up who typically gobble up everything with the Joe name on it.

It's a lackluster showing so far, with minimal paint apps and zero creativity on this second one.

HAH!...didn't see it...I don't go there unless I'm following a link someone here posts...wasn't really too difficult to predict that reaction or that someone there would make a custom of that lame figure...

sorry to anyone here who has bad taste and made their own custom of that figure...:D


Fucker! :)







though I don't think the one I did looks like it came out of a 2 year olds diaper just after they ate the 24 pack of crayola.........but I'll reiterate Fucker!!!

Hah!...what you do is on another level...at the very least I can always appreciate your beautiful paint work, even if I think the character selection is questionable :D

New characters are all I care to see, and I'm not a huge fan of Eco-Force or whatever. I guess at worst, it'd be cool for Airtight to have a buddy? I'm considering Cleansweep (or Ozone? Wasn't he one?) just because he's a "new" character we haven't gotten yet in ME format, but I couldn't care less about that fucking Flint.

I'm betting it's Flint they show.

New head, my ass. It looks like the Retaliation or Resolute one. And if they DID sculpt a new head, fucking WHY? Do we not have enough options going around already?
