I am just glad they didn't try and go animation accurate for the colours. He is unrecognizable in the cartoon compared to his toy.

I always liked Airborne and was hoping to see him sooner than later in the Classified line. But seing him in a grey outfit instead of tan, with the wrong rifle (no bayonet) and a shovel painted on backpack (while we got a removeble shovel with Outback), make me debaiting if I still want him or will hope for an unlikely retro release someday. Yeah I don't think we'll see another Airborne figure that is this close to the original look. Maybe there will be another release where he is part of a sub-team (Sky Patrol), but not likely a Retro version since this first version will be close enough. However you never know, but you are the first person I have seen post that the colours aren't close enough for you. I have seen a few people mention his weapons but not his uniform. I mean they are basically re-releasing the same EEL on a Retro card, so you never know, but I wouldn't expect it for Airborne. |

Considering he didn't get a second figure until the 2000's, makes me think we won't see another version, and if it wasn't for the Dragonfly, I don't think we would have got him this early in the Classified line.

What are the odds for an Airborne retro release? |

Looks like anyone who ordered the VAMP off of Pulse needs to get ready.
They have moved up the expected ship date to next week (March 12th). |

Sadly no Metalhead this week, it was the 60th Sailer/Diver. I don't think I will be picking up the 60th figs, the only thing I really like is the gear they come with, but the price is way more than I would be willing to pay. Yeah people were expecting Metalhead through Amazon.ca but it looks like they had the date wrong. Everywhere else had him releasing in April. I agree about the 60th figures, but I am a sucker and will pick them up anyway. I also preordered the HMS from Pulse, but I'll wait on the rest. |

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

Airborne is great. I had a very hard time geting him out of the plastic tomb!
Green googles- where do they go? Night vision spcs that fit onto the helmet don't work or look proper. And I wish the shovel on the backpack was removable. Everything else about the figure is excellent. I love the "reflective" glasses, box art shows clear plastic, but these will look great once he is inside the Dragonfly. When I picked him up, I was also informed that Metalhead should be arriving next week too. |

Will be picking up Aireborne today, looking forward to him. Can't wait for the others from this wave.
