YAY OR NAY : Barrel Roll v1/v2
 

Ok, I thought it over. Let's see what the posse here really thinks of the new characters. I am going to put in a lot of different aspects on the YAY or NAY side so while there may be positives, there will most likely be negatives too. It's a mix of subjective and objective aspect.

TARGET : BARREL ROLL

New Character
2 versions made; 1 cobra oriented, 1 almost regular
Swivel Wrists.
Proportionate
Blue version came w/ Spy Gears disguise to be Air Viper (or something)
BOTH versions came w/ Cobra-oriented glider
Part of the Stall family; a triangle where Brother and Sister were part of the story!
Good looking head (unlike VenMax who UGLY!)
1 color works in the field, the other is good enough!
Hasbro loved him enough to use the figure to create Cannonball.

Nothing with the character, but the sculpt doesn't work for a sniper. Maybe for a Chuckles. The v3 is really better, totally specops for me.

YAY!
Blue is better.

again, not a bad figure for the era, but the wasp waist kills it for me.

I like bother versions ..... I use the Blue one in my Sky Patrol , and the Brown one in my Desert Patrol .

Barrel Roll version 3.
 

I prefer version 3: http://www.yojoe.com/action/05/barrelroll3.shtml

Another hit. I have both versions but prefer the brown one. A nicely sculpted new character for sure. More please!
