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.

What are the odds for an Airborne retro release?

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.

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.
