@fletch I guess its the 80's arcade beat'um up fan in me that digs a generic bad guy in different colors. Purple is the easy one, but watch out for yellow or red, their the tough ones!
So I love the various colored commandos... I'll be ordering one of each and calling them the rainbow raiders or something. I probably don't need to invest heavily in the "spy" guys in suits. The james bond guys with the eye patches I just don't have a ton of use for I don't think.
St
Frickin' FMF....
I'm doing my best to not get into their lines as I am seriously tight on space, but they look so damn good. I don't know if I will cave or not, but at the very least, I will enjoy these vicariously through pictures.
Dunno that I'll end up with a Traffic Cone Orange commando, but that Dr. Quest Knockoff seems like only a head is needed to make for a generic Weapon X lab technician when that Dr. Caligari torture slab comes out. I would like a NON-Cyborg Race Bannon knock-off so long as we're on the topic, solely because he's the only one I actually liked from Johnny Quest.
Thanks a lot, you jerks!. I was able to stay on the fence about these since they were announced, but the recent reveals got me. Picked up a Delta Red for now, may get more of the Soldiers of Fortune line once it’s up for preorder.
I unironically love how shameless The Agent/Enemy one is.
The "saboteur reminds me of the old Plan B Toys Special Forces terrorist figure. The articulation was really antiquated by modern standards, but boy I've wanted something to replace that style of baddy in my collection for a while.

Here's what I need:
FMF intentionally makes the neck pegs universal, so that means that blue hood will have the same neck hole as, say, Dracula's.
Someone needs to try putting that blood Dracula head onto a Cobra Commander. That would for sure tell me how that hood would fit.
Got the JoeFest exclusive Dracula and Forgotten King today from BBTS along with the TBleague Egyptian Deity Temple. Quick and dirty shot in front of a door.
For those wondering, the ball joint on the neck is bigger on these than on the Hisstank Cobra Commander. So a little blue tack would be needed to make an upcoming hooded head work, assuming neither neck joints change before either is released.
That looks nice. I didn't see the need, personally, for the translucent variants - but it does make me excited about the regular figures coming soon.
Thanks for sharing the insight about the neck peg / head socket issue
Yeah I didn’t feel the need for Dracula as much but got excited to see these in person. The Forgotten King has those powers that are translucent so this feels like a powered up or phasing version of him. I don’t have a good explanation for Dracula. Blood decoy? 😆
I am quite pleased with them in person though and excited for the other figures even more. Having only had Santa’s before, I was curious how a more articulated figure from FMF would be. Going to be a fun line!
I ended up ordering both of the translucent versions. I went back and forth but I am a sucker for translucent figures and a red translucent Dracula is a perfect combination.
BBTS has now sold out of both so I'm glad I did.
Huh, the Kilowarg Night Hunter pre sold out on BBTS. Seems like they’re so far away to cut them off like that.
@boy_wonder it’s essentially a repaint of a figure that came out last year from another company FMF is partnering with so he’s scheduled to come out in just a few months rather than the year+ the in-house figures from FMF. They probably kept the run conservative based on preorders for the other figures.
edit: looks like they put more up available for preorder:
