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.

Target : CROSSHAIR

Great design.
ARAH construction.
Horrible hair style (not like card art either).
Removable hat.
Ill-fitting webgear vest.
Funky ghillie gear. (Saves the hardcores from making their own, right?)
Knife Belt
C-Grip hands.
SMALL sculpted hands.
Odd assortment of gear. (ie; weapons, especially when he can't hold it well)
Showed up in the DD comic.
Released at least 3 times.
He's a SNIPER! (and unlike LowLight, he's good for the daytime!)
Good color scheme.

I had to go with "YAY". I didn't see much I was impressed with, design-wise, in the JvC - VvV run.

Crosshair was an exception, though. I could use him with my 25ths with no problem at all.

Holy crap! There were five troop builders in 1985 - what am I getting myself into!?!

Yay!

The guy just needed swinvel wrists.

Nay-hated him, too straight laced IMO, especially with a bother in Cobra. Also I hate Boonie hats, I know sue me.
