I'm generally one of the more objective people in regards to the Club, maybe even slightly veering into pro-Club territory, but I'm also happy to call them out when I think they aren't doing a good job. I've been a club member since 2006, I've bought nearly every convention set since 2004 and most exclusives including the DTC figures at full price. I was a happy subscriber for FSS 1 through 3. I was super excited for FSS 4 based on the announced lineup. So, please understand that when I say that the actual figures in FSS 4 are primarily crap, it's because I legitimately feel that way. In no way can I defend the apparent lack of effort, lazy builds, and curious decisions for using the new tooling budget, especially when these figures cost a big premium.

That said, I have no objection to anyone that does like the figures. I certainly don't see any point in criticizing how someone else chooses to spend his/her money. I will continue to express my opinion as I see fit, and I honestly hope that anyone that likes the figures feels free to express their opinions as well.

Night-Creeper is up, using the concept case build as expected.

Overall I think it is a nice figure, definitely one I would have liked to have if I were getting the subscription.

the night creeper looks nice but still a easy figure to make yourself

I like this one and if it was more affordable would buy several of them. I hate painting white so I wouldn't even attempt to recreate this one myself.

I like it too. I would like to have one and would not like to paint it myself.

That figure is sweet looking. I hate that headband? Whatever it is. My 25th Night Creeper's whateverthatis never seemed to stay on.

If I was going to get a figure from this collection this would be the one. They all look fine but I like this one. Would just have to add the flaming sword that came with the Mandarin to his arsenal.

You'd could strip the paint off the Cobra Island Outback . . .


The arms have never been released in white though.

Billy is up. According to the page, the actual paint won't be glossy.

The gloss makes it hard to tell how the brown will actually look. But, the figure looks decent, and the mock-up head sculpt is good.

Still not enough to make me regret passing on this round.

I like it, but I'm glad I don't have an affinity for Billy. I have a feeling that will be one of those $80-$100 secondary market figures. I will try to get him if the club sells him in the store though.

Yeah, if I can find him for a decent price, I'll probably pick him up too.

The headsculpt is nice and he's one of the better figures, but that isn't saying much this time around. Another instance where I really only care about the head.
