Operation Monster Force

Honestly... this is the first O:MF drop where not one of the items appeals to me. I already have so many skeleton figures and do not need more. I'm not a fan of soft goods, so the red robed version is a pass, despite Joe cover nostalgia. And red translucent Dracula holds zero appeal. Big sigh of relief at getting to skip an entire O:MF erelease
 
Yeah, not a wave for me, but it did remind me to reconsider picking up the general if he's in stock next time I have stuff hit my POL since I "recovered" from the last shipment financially. FMF a few figures on the horizon I want but nothing super grabs me this time.

I like the red-robed skeleton but he more makes me wish I'd ordered the Mask of the Red Death figure from 4H instead of skipping him.
 
Yeah I wish there was a better price point for the skeletons. Them being old fwoosh molds feels a bit weird

Of all the semi-recent skeleton figures, I thought the Fwoosh ones were the best. After getting my one Fwoosh skeleton in hand, I regretted not ordering more. They were around $40 each, so I suppose these are a little cheaper. But don't come with the pumpkin head. However, they do come with a few weapons and gravestones. So I may order one of these 2pks.
 
I do find it interesting that they’re locking the orders in for these. All the other preorders haven’t had date restrictions

That two pack feels like a pretty good deal for the amount of stuff they come with.

I'll probably toss in a PO for Red Reaper. I don't have any real connection to the comics, but I like the history behind the idea and I'd like another Fwoosh skeleton to fiddle around with since I turned the one I got into the Castlevania Grim Reaper and only use the top half of his body.
 
It's all part of the long game. If I shit talk them for long enough, when I finally come on here and say something nice about one of their products, ALL of you guys are going to buy it just out of pure disbelief. And then, boom, I rip off the mask and I was actually Brian Flynn all along. Fucking BONKERS.
 
You guys know I loves me some Monster Force, but this line is so oversaturated now that I have to accept my enthusiasm was almost entirely powered by anticipation of Wave 2. It's been a minute since they announced something I was really excited about.

Like, O:MF Wave 3 has the Ambassador (which is cool but diminished by locking the Lovecraft head in the all-in bonus pack) and I guess Mr. Legacy. Every so often I wonder if I want Dr. Rand, but realize that if I have to talk myself into it, the answer's "no." Thirteen Ghosts so far range from wildly over-designed to underwhelming, reveals for the actual designs of Agent Harker and Red Riding Hood left me very deflated, and there's no chance I'm buying into the Gridiron vanity line of soldiers. Soldiers of Fortune are mundane and under-equipped for the price, and I'm still waiting to be impressed by the Raven Society.

Crimson Moon is kind of cool, though. I just don't have the nostalgia for Palatoy to get me on board.

But these skeletons are just boring. The crazy mix of modern military and horror that drew me to the line has been boiled down to "we gave this one a machine gun," and it takes more than just giving him a name in the description to make a unique character figure. I'm not even excited for Stryker, since he looks like he's just Air Force General Brown.
 
This has probably been the most “meh” reaction for a launch in the line. No posts about it on hisstank (they did run off the guy that posted news) or tfw, not a lot of conversation on social media, facebook groups removing posts for “drama” and so on. Feels like a bad sign.

I kinda feel like the reuse (because holy fuck the reuse is heavy in monster five already and now the molds are being ran through in other lines) and the unwillingness to go all out with designs (partially because of the reliance on reuse) is just really causing this line to stall out
