It is a nice figure. But does it really match up to the grandeur of Volga?

I really like her. Nice choice in parts and a good looking female head. Not overdone and a good choice of weapons, colours and body parts. For me she is a total win.

The only thing that looks a little off is the side arm but that is very minor.

Well the head sculpt looks new but the helmet looks like it's from a Star Wars A wing Pilot:

That would have been cool!  I knew they wouldn't though because they only use existing parts (except new heads) and so my expectations were muuuuuuch lower than that.  As such, I'm pleasantly surprised by how nice it is!

Rumour has it the next figure will be shown on Monday. The big question is will it be another Oktober Guard or the villain side of the set. We still don't know who they are facing but I personally am hoping for the Iron Grenadiers.

After making that Metal Head custom a few months back I sorta feel in love with the character. Never liked him a kid but something happened when I made that dude and all of the sudden he didn't seem lame anymore. That and I've always been interested in Darklon and thought he should have been fleshed out more. I don't see Hasbro ever making them (or Voltar) so let the GIJCC have a go with them.  ;)

Just when I have all but given up on Joe.  Between these and the dollar store figures, I am interested again.

Quite impressed with the head sculpt, the rest of the figure is sorta bland.  That said, I'm still aiming to get a set since I never thought we'd get a whole group of modern era Oktober guards.  IGs in the set would just be a big bonus for me.
