Yeah, I'm digging him (although you'll never convince me "T'J" is pronounced "sha"). Back in the day, I called him Venus Butterfly, because of his bright coloration, his curve-tipped swords, and because I was a pretentious pervert. I try to be much less pretentious these days, tho.

So it's not "Tuh-Juh Bang"?

I've been pronouncing wrong all this time?

I always said it Tee-Juh Bang. Guess I was wrong, too.

The more I think about it, the more I wish he got new webgear to have a more faithful look of the old figure, but even without it, this figure rocks.

That is a really nice figure..... that I have no interest in adding to my collection. But man, REALLY well done.

T'Jbang is probably the best figure in the set so far, barely edging Flint. Boss Fight nailed the head sculpt, and the parts usage is very good. As many have argued, the Zombie Hunters group is not very cohesive - but we already knew that based on the names involved. A more cohesive theme would be best, but I'll take great figures over that any day.

Now that I think about it, that is really how I pronounced it too.

I definitely had a different reaction to the T'Jbang figure than you guys did. But I knew when I saw the name pop up on the list that he would probably be a big ol' pass for me. Maybe the upper body will be useful for something.

I love that somebody called him "TJ bang," though: finally, the Joes have an adult-entertainment specialist!

Or if you're getting the set you can sell it to someone who really really really really really wants T'Jbang specifically? :-D

Yeah, so far I know I'm going to want to unload Steel Brigade Commander and this guy.

I had no interest in Ninja Force back in the day and, even though this is a very solid and faithful update, it doesn't change my mind.

VERY impressed with T'JBang. He was always one of my favorite Ninja Force figures in the first place, even if I wasn't certain how to pronounce his name. I like the fact that we're getting an entirely new head out of it, and the sculpt is superb. The Arashikage emblem on the chestplate is a nice touch.

Best of all, I'm sure -- no annoying internal spring-action mechanism. That was the ONE thing that always put me off Ninja Force. I really disliked that.

Yep, action features in action figures always seem to reduce the action, somehow.

The more I look at T'Jbang the more I think this should be an FSS figure, not a con set figure. I don't know why that is but it just doesn't feel "special" like the con set figures should be. It's a modern version of the classic figure and it looks great for what it is but I'm not sure the con set is where this version of T'Jbang should be.

Completely agree. He seems off for the con set. If the con set was all ninja then sure okay... but here he feels shoehorned in.

Yeah maybe that's what it is. This isn't a ninja set (which I'd be fine with) but an ECO Force set so putting a ninja into it just seems... forced.

Oh, so we're expecting the Club to display good decision-making now? I didn't get that memo.
