Flint was never my favorite guy anyway... so I don't have a Wow effect seeing him again.

He comes with Outback's rifle (why?) and the most reuse and repaint backpack ever... again  :'(.

Quote from: "Pete The Greek"
The only GIJCC set I don't have is last years, mostly because it was the new style.  And considering the club has gone back to o-ring (for at least this year), I can assume that the new style in 2009 failed for GIJCC, regardless if they re-hashed an old convention concept. 

Even though they are not perfect, I have no problem with the new style.  However, I find it hard to justify playing that much coin for new style figures when other deco versions of the exact figures were sold recently at retail stores for a fraction of the cost.  If I am going to pony up that much coin, I might as well get something considered to be rare nowadays in the hobby, which is o-ring figures.   



I'm with Pete.
And this version of Flint just doesn't strike me.  Maybe it's the green straps.

I'm a big Flint fan and this figure does nothing for me. Considering the camo patterns the Club has put together in this past, this one really disappoints. As much as I usually dislike that tanned skintone, it looks especially bad this time and with that hair colour.

I was enjoying this set and looking forward to Flint. This is a major strike against it.

The overall green design just doesn't work for me. Too much of it at first glance. Either the green on the uniform or the belts have to go. Also, GIJCC bothered to recycle Eco Warrior Flint's body for the new Red Torches, but they didn't bother to use the head, which in my opinion could've made for a great opportunity to give Flint a Berret accessory.  I'm not jumping either for the camo pattern they chose , realistic up to a certain extent but without the wow effect.

All of a sudden, I like Black Major a bit more  :).

That is a beautiful Red Shadows figure. Makes you wish that they'd not used the blowtorch guys and just done the set with all of these.

Still - hats off to them.

Is it just me or the Red Shadow trooper is wearing a diaper?

It's just you.  :lol:. No seriously, although it may look like what you say from your perspective, If you own the original Red Star figure (from which the legs/torso/waist parts originate from), you'd know that there is no reason to worry.
