Wow. Quick Kick in an actual military garb.  This version Id pick up.

Footloose is fine.  Doesn’t wow me, but it’s a good representation.

The SNAKE armored suit is above and beyond expectations. I like the pilot chair decision.  Depending on the actual price I’ll get one.  

Disappointed that they used the red shirt look with Law & Order.  I don’t know if they’re going to do a reissue later with a different (more military) look, so I’m on the fence with them.

Crystal Ball is still looking like a pass for me.  

CLAW is buy for me.

I like the modular bunker.  It’s nice that you can link multiple together for a bigger bunker.  The cost of having to buy several to do that, does concern me.  It could get costly. 

Blowtorch and Cover Girl look to like buys.

Everything looks so good — with two exceptions: Darklon and Flint's head sculpt. (Not gonna comment on that atrocious card art, I just recycle them anyway.) Is that a tongue dangling out on the Darklon metal head sculpt? I thought it was a goatee before. It's pretty goofy to me whatever it is.

Wasn't really considering the Snake Eyes/polar bear set but that colors on Snake Eyes really jump out at me.

Also wasn't too high on the Snake armor at first reveal but it looks great in "real life." Love the attention to detail with the foot holds on portion that folds down. Now I'm a little worried about the cost. He's a big boy.

The real highlights for me are Blowtorch, Frag Viper and the Nightforce two-pack (That Quick Kick OSHA line was tremendous and very true. It's so good to see him in some legitimate gear and Beachhead is awesome). I always thought the Frag Viper was kind of dumb but they've really elevated the figure with the extra bits and details they've added, especially the unmasked head. Same with Crystal Ball.

Oh, and the CLAW came out great as well as the pilot. 

It's just amazing the job they're doing with this line.

I'm another that was cool with not having Quick Kick, but I really like the Beach Head and will be happy to keep the QK as well.

I love expanding my Night Force ranks and these two look great.    The rest of it ive seen before, but Im super excited about all of it.   That SNAKE armor looks better than i expected.   And I cannot wait for that silly Polar Bear!

I wish Breaker's bubble was translucent, but it won't stop me from getting one. I've been wanting him with his proper, corded comms backpack since the RAM was announced. 

The only other thing that has my interest is the SNAKE, but I honestly think it's just too big. I can see myself getting it anyways, but what a monster. 

And while I have y'all here,  does anybody recognize where this hat's from?

@ru1977 I think snake eyes vs polar bear and mass device breaker might as well. Breaker is target j believe, not sure on the vs set.

Crystal Ball is part of next week's Walmart collector con.

Really liked pretty  much everything they revealed. Heck, I'm even impressed with the MANAGEABLE size of the polar bear - I'm legit anxious with how oversized the Mythic Legions bear and this one looks like it'll take up just the right amount of space. 

The SNAKE is crazy - it's honestly the kind of thing I wish we'd get for a Hulkbuster suit over in Legends! And I am also VERY happy with the Beachhead options we've already had but really like that Night Force option. I'm into it. 

I checked the Fwoosh discord and it doesn't appear to be set up to join? Would it be improper if I just... made a little page to send out proof of life if we get stuck? (Heck I've got an author Discord I never really need anymore I could drop a thread into for emergencies without any extra work or bandwidth on my end.)

I don't use Discord, so I joined the Facebook group Fwooshers Anonymous. But then I made everyone out themselves so I could match normal human names to our Fwoosh screen names.
