Club Sub 1.0 Update
- Thread starter Monkeywrench
- Start date
By far the best figure in the whole subscription, and I had my money on Cover Girl. Why the fuck couldn't all of them have been done to this level? That looks excellent, and I don't even remember the figure from ARAH.
He looks good! My only nitpick is that they just painted a red stripe on his crotch instead of sculpting a codpiece. I can remedy that though.
Big Boa and Cover Girl are the only 2 that I like a lot and want.

It looks like the helmet is removable. Check out the blue headgear in the lower left corner of the pic.
I don't think the helmet comes off. The other one is training gear. Not a fan of the removable hands. Would have been nice to have boxing gloves separate. Good homage to the original but for how many I don't dig not worth it for myself.
That's another figure I had in the works to do, but they did all the work for me. I think the red stripe for the codpiece looks better painted like that than left blue, though. That's good use of parts and paint to get a close enough match, unlike a good portion of the rest of their figures in this subscription.
I'll break down and get the sub, I think. I want openers of only a handful, though, so unless I can get singles of those, I doubt I'll get two subs at the wacky price that they'll want, because I don't want to have to get rid of 2x of the crappy ones.
The only must-haves for me are Cover Girl and Big Boa, and Dice (I'm still banking that Slice is #13) and I'm happy enough with Topside and Grunt (for the new head sculpt) but the rest blow. That's 5 or 6 out of 13 (12 if Slice isn't the Baker's Dozen), and that's not very good if you ask me.

Man, I want Big Boa and Covergirl only. Hmmm, are those 2 worth getting all of them. This I will ponder.
I never much cared for Big Boa so he will be up for grabs.
Grunts head looks very much like
repainted.
(Actually the 2 I have do not have bad eyes like the one on Yojoe.com)

wow, BB looks almost perfect, the non sculpted crotch area being the only issue...
very impressed that they made a whole new harness for him...did NOT see that coming...
i hope i'll be able to snag him...along with CG, Topside and Dice...the rest can suck Taintums taint

DV will show up somewhere one day, I just hope not at the club. At some point a China seller will have a few and then it will disappear into the abyss.
I wonder what BB will fetch on the secondary since most people will probably keep him? Of all the ones they did he came out the best IMO. I hope someone casts those parts eventually. That's really all I would want from it. Does his helmet remove for sure? If so that's a plus. Still though, one of 12 that I like so it really won't be something I'll pursue. I just wish they gave him actual gloves instead of hands that you have to remove.

Some people in the community are suggesting that Big Boa could go for as much as $150 on the secondary market, possibly more. I can easily see that in that he could end up being more sought after than Dial Tone, and he has regularly gone for that price.
i dont think china got him man.as that was the only prototype they had of DV as the design team made him at hasbro and stuck him in the case to try and get them to mass produce it.
On bb im 99% sure it is removable why give him another mask if his v1 wasn't. yes he is the best one out of the group that's for sure. so alot of ppl will keep him. but a few will sell him to make back there money.
QFT ya i want him bad but not that bad.

I know it's not a big deal to anyone but me, but I feel like if they can't get that right, how can we trust any of their other answers?

Well… my pappy used to say… I trust a butcher with info on a good cut of meat…. I don't need to know what he knows about patenting the new knife he just used.
HA! They totally made up this answer...
There is no way I will believe people wanted Surefire or Barrel Roll.GIJCC said:
NanoBAT maybe slightly since it's a canceled item we saw before but not those 2.

Eh, it's no worse than some of them, but they've done a lot better. At least they didn't steal the look from a fan this time around!

I agree, the art isn't bad
