I like the character mix better than FSS 7. Very curious to see how they pull off Payload.

I was gonna make a crack about them just reusing the Ace/Deep six shoulder and helmet piece, but honestly if the clear part was translucent orange, that could actually work.

I was actually thinking the same thing- I can't think of anything else they could possibly use, but when I went back and looked, that Ace helmet looks a little better than I remembered. I was thinking that Ace helmet/shoulder piece on the Airtight body might look OK. Maybe the O-face Duke JUMP straps if that would fit, too?

I wonder how the Ace helmet looks on the Vakcano viper vest?

I kinda like the legs. I definitely don't like the launcher, the armor and the helmet/mask. I don't think that the launcher has any alternatives in modern parts. However, I wonder if the accelerator helmet would have looked better. Overall, it still looks too much like Blowtorch.

that fast draw is the biggest blunder since the original salvo.
I could live with it if they would just do a different helmet and Chest gear
