It over doubled its backing in a day. Think Rancor failure, scaplers, FOMO, and the oring purists all created a nice critical build for this.

Yay. I'm not as unhappy as I was when the Sail Barge got made (because I'll never own one). Hasbro is more likely to reuse this Sky Striker mold and figure recasts in some capacity.
I do suspect Hasbro fudged the numbers on some level. Not enough to make the ground crew. They were sacrificed for the Cobra trio. CONSPIRACY...

Why fudge to getting Ripcord?
I guess if its about sending a message to those darn Star Wars fans for not liking crappy unlocks. LOL

Because they will be making a regular Ripcord anyway?
Because NITE FORZ IS DA AWESUM?
I was kidding.

Congrats to those who got it :-)
The upgrades (and figures) look really good!
Too bad about the Pit Crew guys.

I think its for Action Force hardcores only. I do remember during Skystriker deal, some people deciding between it and the Skystriker.

I do wish I had ordered a couple Skystrikers.

Callsign: Longbow KickstarterO-ring style but with swivel wrists and soft hands. What concerns me is specs indicate the hands and heads made of the same plastic. I think the soft plastic used on the 2000's comic pack o-ring figure heads may contribute to their torsos cracking. Soft plastic expanding against hard. But I'm no scientician. I'd get the Russians, the stretch goal SWAT guy and the track suited thug if it makes it. I would but $25 each is pricey and it's 2023 arrival date...we might all be radioactive by then. Still, somewhat tempting. The space robot creep is amusing but is them reusing tooling from that ROBO SKULL offering, I think. He doesn't mesh with what they are trying to do here. Not-Flint/Falcon and Faux-Alpine are fine, but I have Flint and Alpine. I'd say they should've gone with more unique characters, but in terms of military good guys not sure what that would be.

They look pretty good! The trooper with the beret reminds me of one of the dudes from the old COMBAT! comics. I don't think Alpine made it. That's why he isn't part of Tiger Force with Bazooka. This belongs more in the Old G.I.JOE Debates topic, my bad. |
