2013 Con Exclusive NF Steeler and Flak Cannon Review!
Thanks to our good friend Revsears over at Toy Nation we have a fantastic review of the 2013 Joecon Exclusive Night Force Steeler and Flak Cannon. Check it out below then join in the discussion after the JUMP!
I’m starting off my con reviews with the most pleasant surprise from con. Remember to check back often, and specifically the joecon2013 tag. Steeler was one of the con attendee exclusives this year, meaning even if you got a home front heroes package (ordering the con set by mail) you couldn’t buy this guy unless you came to the show (or hit up ebay!)
Cyclops wishes he was this Bad A
Steeler comes with an impressive night force flak cannon. Action Force Expert and WOJM UK correspondent Dave Tree said it was similar to a Z-force edition of the flak cannon.
Steeler was one of the original thirteen (013) ARAH G.I.Joes but his inclusion was surprising as he wasn’t previously a member of night force.
He is a fairly plain looking figure, yet that only makes him more aesthetically pleasing. The drab green, black and earth town brown makes him fit in with night force, but the lack of teal helps him fit in with the regular joes as well. While simply, he isn’t overly simply, his buttons are painted as is holster which makes him pop more.
The parts including Retaliation Firefly’s torso, POC shock trooper arms and POC wave 3 Snake-Eyes Legs with 25th Steeler head. The Holster is a tight fit for him and I’ll probably place that and the cool but somewhat dated helmet aside.
There is not really a lot of additional information or pictures necessary, he is what is, and thankfully that is a good update of one of the original and often neglected ARAH Joes.
The flak cannon he comes with is surprisingly nice. It’s mostly black with shades of green, both G.I.Joe and the Night Force team logos, a single star, as well as 4 Cobra’s that have be slashed out to display his kills/vehicles destroyed.
My only real complaint about the cannon is the green pant here, that appears to be a a scope or camera, is not painted well at the seem of the plastic and it is very noticeable.
Scoring these two together i’d give them an 9 out of 10.
I also can’t help but think his inclusion as given away who the mystery 13 figure is, if NF falcon is in FFS 2, and NF crazy legs is the one not left with a figure, i think he is a good candidate.
Remember to check back often, I hope to have at least one other review up tonight.
