Oh and this stretch goal gets unlocked if they reach 700 backers (183 to go at any level).

I really want to see this one get unlocked. It's like a Bombstrike custom already custom made to order because that's what I was thinking when I first saw this body style.

Bombstrike! That's a cool stretch goal. I think it'll get unlocked by the end.

So glad the yellow guys got unlocked. That alone makes me happy this Kickstarter exists.

I didn't realize the shin armor was removable. I don't think I really like the look of that.

The armor being removable is one of the only reasons I'm in.

That desert mock up is hot.

Yeah, I think it looks awful from behind. Overall, the figure looks nice, I guess. Just kind of boring, as I have a male figure that looks just like that.

Well, that's kinda the point of a military uniform; to make everybody look uniform.

Not impressed with the removable shin armor. I think the plug on the side of the leg is making it look oversized. If the plug was in the front I think it would look tighter but then you're left with a giant hole in the boot when the armor is removed. I'll probably just leave it off the ladies or find some way to modify it so it fits the leg tighter.

But the rest of the figure looks really good. Just like the male MTF figure.

Just pledged at the Aesir level and added 3 Intel Ops, a Flight Ops and an extra Night Ops figure. I'm looking forward to the excellent female fodder that this project will provide.

True. But uniform makes for boring toys, in my opinion.

The base figures were made to be more generic so you could army build them. MJ is a known army builder so it's not a surprise his figures work as a uniform team (Marauder Task Force). You can make each one unique ("less boring") with the modular loadout and head options. There are literally tons of combinations to choose from using the available body colors (even more coming thanks to the Vals) and accessories. Also, if you look closely the female isn't exactly like the male. Similar enough as to look like they're on the same team but unique in their own way too.

Peruse this thread to see how different the same figure can look. And if you look at the Steady Cam Gunner stretch goal, there's plans for more options to make your figures less boring. MJ had to start somewhere, but it only gets better and better. Besides, as a member of a customizing site, shouldn't you have some knowledge and skill of making your own figures more personalized?

Oh, and I'm loving these Vals! The new accessories and even more body part options are awesome. I'm pretty sure we'll hit the Recon Ops but I'd love to see that Steady Cam Gunner unlocked.
