I think this is the best figure revealed so far. I'm a bit surprised they went with the full Shock Trooper mold, I was at least expecting the Resolute Duke/Joe legs since the boots much more closely match the vintage figure. I'm also surprised, yet not surprised, that the Club used the POC Dusty head here. The vintage bullhorn accessory is a nice addition, though I suspected we would get it since there isn't really any other similar accessory in the modern line.

Love the Bullhorn build, except for the headband. I hate that thing. The addition of some classic accessories is a nice touch.

I find it interesting that with all our site members who are also club members, only 18 people have answered the poll question, and of those, no-one has indicated they're getting this subscription in full.

I currently let my membership go. I'll have to rejoin to buy anything and as of right now I only half like 3 of the figures. Even with that, I really don't know if I'll pay full price on the club's site when they list individually. I selected no but I will buy select ones, but really I may not buy any at all. I'm on the fence.

None of them are $30 figures. They're all cobbled together ideas that I could see Hasbro put out for retail prices, and that would be ok. I say that because it's to be expected for Hasbro to release items with reused parts and a few corners cut. The lower pricing of retail and the current state of GIJoe sales in general, you would expect it. BUT from a COLLECTORS CLUB where really the members should have some sort of input, you do not expect some half baked idea thrown out there for a $30 price tag. I know there are people who are fine with that and can conger up any excuse in the world, but it just isn't cutting it. It's because of those people willing to buy ANYTHING, we are now where we are. The previous FSS sets have had their issues too, but not as bad as it's become.

Where's the option for just buying a cast of Outback's head?

:shifty:

I kid, I'll snag an Inferno BAT...someday.

Yeah it would be pretty great if the club sold sets of all the new heads that they have had done in different skin tones.

Sneak Peek is up.

I shouldn't be surprised at yet another phoned-in effort here, but somehow I am.

I'd love it if that periscope actually worked.

Time for a JC exclusive 3D printed periscope with elevating action to go with all the custom Sneak Peeks sure to come. I mean it could even be printed hollow and little mirrors added too but that might be going too far. haha.

I am joking... maybe.

Man, I like the FSS figures I picked up last year and there are a few wave 1 and 2 figures I wouldn't mind getting... but so far all of wave 4 are a pass for me.

I can't believe Sneak Peek and Bullhorn are the same build with different heads.... These all just feel really cheap. I could almost see this being the Dollar General Waves 3 and 4 line up. I really feel like an exclusive figure should be something special, new heads on face characters should be standard. for these. As is the price point is the only thing that makes these exclusive.

Dan, I think you nailed it right there. These would be fine as a Dollar General assortment.
