not bad.
let's see how minor this really becomes
I don't know who in their right mind would preorder something sight-unseen as risky as the Club's shit in the first place. Takara Masterpiece figures? Fuck yes, preordered the day they announce the name. (Granted, at BBTS that's no money down, so it's a win-win.)
Why they don't show everything, THEN put up the preorder, is beyond me.

Nope, but that's the least of their worries. They can't get anyone to package a figure without crushing it, or to program a site without fucking it all up, or anyone to spot check expensive Con sets before they go out, or someone to fix their "contact us" form on their site that goes to Limbo.
Because he needed a short-sleeved turtleneck on underneath his shirt, duh.
Yeah, it was always going to be version 2, from the get-go. Not like the bright orange is any better…
Neither one of them is worth writing home about, but at least the orange and tiger stripes kind of work. This pile of shit looks like LSU hired a fucking ninja.
Is this one of those moments where you quietly agree with KT, or stare in uncomfortable silence as you realize he sort of complimented something from ARAH?
They had to go that far, didn't they? What's next? Hard hat Outback with a pink helmet?
Hell, even I don't know why I'm worked up over the choice. Christ, I own a damn v.2 NCL, for crying out loud.
I dunno, it just seems an odd choice to have made. Like choosing to do pink Flak Viper instead of blue Flak Viper, or gray and green Firefly over black and green Firefly.
Like, Shadow Ninja Snake Eyes over Ninja Force Snake Eyes.
But the gray and green Firefly was the original color scheme for that figure... *ducks K-T throwing shit at him in a fit of rage*:trollface:
I will concede that, yes, the gray version was the first one. It was one of those odd cases where the second version was better than the first. Battle Corps tended to be all "Oh, okay, that works", and then the repaint came along and you were all "what the fuck?"
I dunno, I like them both equally, I'll always have a soft spot for the gray version though, since that's the one I owned.
Well, I was impressed to see more "named" Cobra operatives, since there are still quite a few of them out there to be made. (And frankly, I don't much care for troop-builders to "retail" at $30-40 each for starters, to be included in the FSS.)
But the second I saw they were making it off the V2, I sort of lost interest. I was hoping they'd mute the colors just slightly, or tie them in more to the Night Creepers that he commands.
Now, as a kid I never had the V1 NCs that appeared in the cartoon. I wound up getting the ghastly V2 Night Creeper, and I had the hideous orange NCL. So they never would've matched anyways. But I always wanted the NCL from the fucking cartoon, so I made a sort of hybrid custom a few years back, but he's only "okay". I guess I was hoping for something better than we got.
And sonofabitch, I just realized it WAS that stupid Serpentor head. I fucking HATE that head sculpt, it's easily one of the worst, behind Derptastic Comic Pack Falcon. Why was I expecting a new head, was it mentioned before that he'd get one?

THAT is what they should have done. Changed the colors to match the Night Creeper's.
Would've made too much sense.
Also, I always hated the silly blindfolded ninja cliché. The cartoon one at least had a unique look, albeit a silly one.
