Strike Force Alpha action Figures

They look really good: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/412317402/strike-force-alpha-action-figures?ref=user_menu

Anyone is getting these?

These are pretty neat looking, although the look seem more saturday morning cartoon to me. Not sure what exactly.
 I won't get them though. If they had come out 20 years ago I'd be interested.

These look really great. 

They are how I imagined a new O-ring line could look if Hasbro went that direction instead of a more faithful re-release of the originals. 

They also look like they could easily be dropped right into the ARAH line and nobody would notice.

But again not going to be going in on this line.

I hope I can put my hands on these to see their quality.

They're not bad looking, but I won't buy into a line that names a MALE figure 'Valkyrie' when Valkyries are FEMALE Norse warriors.

I also like the fact they look like o-ring without having an o-ring. I see this as an improvement.

I missed the original Kickstarter, but I ordered some figs on the Barkerkit page.

hmmm. the build is giving me a new sculpt era feel (do they call it the modern era? 2002-2006), especially the arms..... They're okay but don't appear quite right to me.

They are o-ring with new pop and swap function. I can't wait to get my order

Here is a good review of SFA. He gave the line 8/10. I give it a solid 8.5/10
