And here's FLINT!!!!!!..............................

Sweet.  Another great job by the club.  Love the new head and they even did a new mold helmet. 

So far 2 out of 3 for me.  Hopefully this set only gets better from here.

Better than the first two but that's not saying much. The first two reveals were awful. Then need to realize that a large part of the collector base has become accustom to top notch products.

Lab Rat looks too much like Cobra Commander. He gets a D

Gold Steel Brigade is mostly a repaint of a figure I already have about 5 -7 of. Yes his legs are different but it's not enough. $25 for a repaint won't cut it for me anymore. He gets an F

Flint is better. New head, new helmet and creative us of that body. The original figure was a turd, this is actually an improvement. He's not crap, be he's not great. I expect better. Just look at Cross Country or any of the FSS figures that aren't repaints. Those are worth my money.  I give him a B-.

I like Flint. (except the whole color scheme of the set) Great head sculpt.

Here's T'Jbang: http://www.gijoecon.com/tx2014/con14tjbang.cfm

Looks like a wrestler from the tag team The Killer B's.

Wow this set continues to be a disappointment, cause we haven't got enough Ninjas already. The colours are atrocious. I do agree with B that the Flint headsculpt is pretty nice.

Golly I'm going to sound like a contrarian.......didn't like the first three figures, but I like T'Jbang.

The colour combo just seems to work here......even if he's another ninja. But it's one out of four figures shown..... and that's not enough to pull me in.  Heck......sorry, but the price alone is enough to keep me out. I just don't think there's a steak they could put together with enough sizzle to get me on board.

I will say that I am glad to see that the club is trying new things, while also incorporating more of the original ARAH run figures that still haven't received an update.

Of course I am in the minority apparently though when it comes to the Lab Rat figure.  I LOVE IT!!!!

As ARROW said though, still not going to spend my money on this set.

I like the figs in this set. I just dunno if I like 'em enough to drop $400 on 'em. I will gladly buy everyone's unwanted Toxo Vipers and Toxo Zombies though.

T'Jbang would make a better FSS figure then a convention figure.

Eco Force dude is a nice update but considering I hated the original, meh


T'Jbang = B-

Eco Force Ozone = C +
