I'll be honest, as little as I wanted a damned Cesspool, he sort of makes sense with the Hazard-Vipers and Zombie-Vipers at least. Well, fits in, anyways. And I actually had the vintage Cesspool and didn't much want a modern version of him. One of the low points of the Joe line, and there were a lot after 1989/90.

I think they were pretty clever in the parts use, though. Save for that gold arm and gigantic Cobra sigil. The gold arm I can see why they were limited by molds (I'm assuming arms come in sets of two?) but the sigil change seems a little weird.

I'm looking forward to him a lot more than half the lot, though. And seeing as these will be the last Joes for a while, that makes the lackluster ones even more depressing.

I'd imagine the molds are sets. They could have used ResoluteDestro's, hell, a B.A.T. arm would have worked.

If nothing else, great head sculpt.

Yeah, the Resolute Destro one would've been a really clever reuse. And yeah, even the B.A.T. or Reactive-Armor arms. Battle Armor CC, etc. There are several plated arms that would've worked just great.

The figure looks great on card. But loose, the figure sucks. It has a completely wrong chest and arm. It's one of the reason I didn't buy the FSS.

Brent Spiner? Yeah, kind of does.

I think we lucked out with the head sculpt and art not matching up.

You think I'd make that shit up? :cool:

I have better material than that.

I found it on Yo Joe
http://www.yojoe.com/action/91/cesspool.shtml


BTW, after looking at the original on Yo Joe, Cesspool should have come with some type of chainsaw gun instead of that stupid whatever it is that POC TRU exclusive Doc came with. If they can get older headsculpts, why couldn't they get Buzzers chainsawgun.

Yeah, after checking your link, I also see the desire for a more robotic right arm...

Yeah, me too. There must be something already made that could be a robotic arm. I'm figuring the Resolute Destro robotic arm isn't compatible with the Techno Viper's torso but there has to be something else.

If I had any interest in the figure (I very much don't) I'd make the Reso Destro arm work...I'm guessing fitment isn't the issue and the real reason is much more lame...nothing intentionally sinister, just lame...like using the Reso Destro arm would cost like one extra cent :rolleyes:

The most likely scenario is that they cannot break up sets. So if they use one arm from a figure, they have to use the other arm from the same figure. Same goes for the legs which is probably why the Club didn't swap out the upper legs for something else on Iceberg.

Stop with your logic. Can't we just hate the Club for be the Club and not giving us exactly what we want!

I do get a chuckle every time I see that pic of Keel Haul with a flag that says "FLAGG"

I signed up with FedEx for their shipping… whatever-it's-called notification. Basically, any time something is shipped via FedEx to my address, I get an email notification of it, regardless of whether the shipper sent me tracking info.

The Club has started shipping FSS 2.0, mine will be here on Wednesday. I'm sure Raginspoon will get his tomorrow and alert everyone as to which characters we get for the first month.

So these are actually shipping? Someone on the other site spoke with Karen at the Club and she said they're shipping Friday or Monday. I'm surprised that info was accurate.

Can't wait to see who the first two will be.
