@red_ogre 

Here! It doesn't actually do a whole lot to free up his torso articulation since the ab crunch itself is just plain limited, but it still streamlines the design a bit. Bandolier comes from a NECA Ultimate Terminator 2 figure.

Went to a few ollies the other day found 5 twins no stalkers, no cgs, no dustys or zaranas. I really want to find some cgs. The rest I'd get for parts.

I was on here posting about my floppy torso Firefly, and I look on youtube, I guess it's an epidemic.  Multiple videos and clips talking/showing off how floppy they are.  I pray the joints on our Hisstank figures are fine, QC issues this late in the line is really worrisome.

Love Tunnel Rat.  I found to keep his gear from floppin' and twitchin' you just need to layer all those loops right and secure them with the backpack.  Once done you can rattle him quite briskly and everything stays put.  That said, I don't have the problem with the gun falling out of the holster, so that helps.

Just got my Tiger Force Flint and Python Patrol Vypra. 

First off, I'm assuming a regular Vypra is on the way eventually, because while this is okay for now, like Recondo, I would eventually like a regular version. 

Secondly, where does this leave us as far as the initial line up for Tiger Force? 

Roadblock, Frostbite, Skystriker, Lifeline, Tripwire?

Am I forgetting anyone? Can we expect a few of those first times in the line to be some TF figures before getting repaints, again, like Recondo?

We can certainly assume Roadblock and Tripwire are on the way, as well as foreign based tiger force figures if Outback is a precedent. Which would mean Tunnel Rat and Beachhead (I think he was just a later figure, not foreign). Falcon is also a candidate since there was a foreign TF Flint with Falcon's head.

Roadblock and Beach Head are probably my biggest wants out of the TF stuff but there are several others from the team that I’d still take.

Can see them releasing the Tiger Paw with someone too since they’re making the Cobra Ferret. Maybe Lifeline?

What time do the Walmart Con exclusives usually go up for Pulse members?

For Tiger Force I think Roadblock is a gimmie. Especially seeing the Action Solider comes with Ma duce.  Beyond that I would like to see Jinx ( Her TF colors are great) and Wreckage which would be a great reuse of the new Firefly buck. Tripwire and Lifeline would be cool but I don't see myself doubling up on either of them and I would rather have there standard looks.

it's going to be tough picking my top ten for the year. besides that trainwreck Falcon they have all been excellent releases this year. 

I'd love to get a "Current Top 10" thread going here on Fwoosh, where we each have a post we can edit as our opinions change, if anyone wants such a thing I'd be curious to hear it.  It would be neat to see everyone's favorite figures now that this line is established.

I think that's a great idea

Tiger Forde Roadblock is one I’d like to see too. Not sure how mush longer that subline goes on.

I opened Firefly 2.0 today and it’s a Classified version of the action figure I had as a kid. I cannot think of anything I would change. I have zero nit pics. I also got a great copy as there are no QC issues. 

I was surprised the wheels turn on the RC bomb. So much detail. I really like both versions of this character they’ve done in Classified. Both have so much character in their design. The crazy burned face of the Cobra Island figure along with his flying drone bomb show an unhinged guy who is such an expert in his field he seems crazy to people on the outside.

As a kid I had no idea of the balaclava so Firefly was a ninja like Storm Shadow and Snakes Eyes. Beachhead was one too. Ninjas were magical to my 19 year old self. So Firefly did as many kicks as the other ninja when I played with him.

This line is like no other. It is pure nostalgia to me. I didn’t have Marvel figures or many Star Wars when I was a kid. I had Joes. Often Firefly was played with as if he was Spider-Man. He was a versatile toy.

Great figure. Pick him up if you can.

Thwipp!

Finally scored cgs. Grabbed a few dustys and zaranas and slaughters. Grabbed stalkers at another. I'm good on fodder. Now just a few more cgs.

@mrboshek that set is a let down. I'm not sure I'm gonna go after it.
