Is anyone skipping the NF figure and holding out for the regular repaint?

I would say if anyone is very likely to get a normal line release with a straight repaint Psyche Out is a good bet, but they've been hit or miss so far so I'm not chancing my arm on it.
 
Yeah, so far the people whose first figure was Night Force, seems like only ONE has gotten a regular repaint? Maybe a second next year, but not outstanding odds at all.
 
I sort of get why Big Ben, Shooter, and Wolf Spider didn't get re-releases since their NF looks are pretty good standalone looks. Quarrel too. I wonder if there's any exclusivity things going on with Walmart for first dibs. But Psyche Out feels the most like Crazy Legs in that he has SUCH an iconic base look that leaving him as NF only feels dumb.

Yeah, that's a solid point. I could see you being right. And yeah, the three you named initially don't need another version at all. Ripcord definitely does though. But I'm very interested if the next Walmart figure is Night Force Outback, or Night Force Spearhead, or something else entirely like D.I.R.E. Overkill or something.

Ripcord SHOULD be on the schedule. No reason they haven't made him yet. I'm hoping the option for a night force Spearhead means they'll make him soon so they can get us to buy him twice.

I legit didn't even KNOW Big Ben was night force til someone on the forums mentioned it. He just felt like himself to me.
 
Yeah, Ben isn't super nightforcey, so it works fine.

I want NF Spearhead only heh, so sorta hope for him first. Let me have NF Spearhead first and everyone else gets Ninja Force Snake Eyes first.

Pass. We will have Ninja Force Snake Eyes (because we're not getting him first.. we're getting him like.. ninth) AND we will have regular Spearhead. And if you don't like it, you can go buy another chubby old man Boba Fett toy, nerd.

I will buy both, but I'm DYING for classic Spearhead first. Also fucking NF will be a Walmart exclusive so fuck that noise with Spearhead and Max - I'll chase NF second, but don't screw us over with an exclusive first, Hasbro, c'mon. Treat him like Spirit, make him and his buddy main line release first.
 
I’ve rather liked the majority of the NF versions (I’ve only skipped Wolf Spider, Quick Kick, and Beach Head so far) and the only one who I prefer the OG colours is Ripcord. Totally getting NF Psyche Out, his OG look was rubbish anyway.
