That staff guard car is a repaint of the indy one! ahhhh hasbro! Guacho is gonna be awesome as well as a new gi joe women? nice! knida looks like sonia blade!

[turner]

Yeah, and the base is the star wars endor base, which I like. Nice update for gaucho. Too bad the kayak would be too expensive to get for a tundra stallker custom...

Gaucho: wow! A v1 Gungho head modded with a neckball? And what torso is on Sonya Blade? It'd be nice if these parts made it into the marketplace without being so exclusive (and expensive).

Figures are somewhat interesting. Jammer is not what I would've done (He's still just a Stalker look-alike). Gaucho is a surprise, at least his head is. I'm surprised Lifeline is still Lifeline.

Vehicles and bunker were interesting choices, but seem like customs. I mean, the Action Force Red Shadows used a German soldier body so the staff car works kinda. The Endor Bunker is a bit strange, as it's distinctly Star Wars. But who knows, maybe they'll use the Hoth laser turret as a Cobra gun emplacement next year.

Most surprised there's no Red Shadow characters beyond the main set.

Not really feeling it, the only one I am really interested in is the Sonya wanna be.

The endor bunker is so distint its almost a disapointment.

The 'Sonya Blade' headed one is called Natalie........and she gives off the 'been hitting the weight bench HARD' vibe to me..........I'm hoping that when I *actually* see her its better looking........

You know, her head looks small, making her body look even larger. Comic pack style. Which is weird, because the Sonya head was rather large. Looks like Lady Jaye forearms on Gungho v1 uppers.

Is $50 for a repainted Endor bunker a good deal? I'd love to add it as a PIT entrance (remember the lonely silos in the Utah desert that were the PIT 1's entrance?).

Considering that the original was ~$20 in the late 90s and included a giant tree with a spike strip and catapault w/boulder and was later clearnced down to $3? Also, 3 years ago there was an Endor Ultimate Battlepack at Target that didn't include the Bunker. It's rather flimsy and if you don't put the doors exactly right, you notice gaps and openings all the time.

Go ebay for the Endor Bunker.

Like he said, not one of the best Star Wars items. Smaller than the movie's scale, and kinda half-assed, there's nothing inside the bunker, either. It's more like a background set for a stage play than a play set.

Everything looks awesome except for that crappy bunker.

Lt. Dolphin looks a very nice reuse of Muskrat body and made a pretty decent figure. The bunker, wish it was released as a regular item for a normal price.
