    The rumours before reveal were he was in a 2-pack with Master Dominus, and Mark's Insta post infers that he was designed to compliment Springer's deco but they shuffled it so that both the two packs were double Deluxe for final release.
    Possibly down to priceband juggling shenanigans for the capsule would be my best guess.

    Well, now, Cloudcover may not be the most eye-searingly bonkers of his capsule but, boy, is he a salivatory appetizer for the neon madness to come, now...

    I know they're based on actual "Tactical" NVGs but Nicky should've come with a set that looked like tricked-out techno-shades, or just a straight up pair of Aviators instead to really add to the nod to Larry Hama.

    Tbh I'm finding some of the design choices a bit odd recently.

    My missus really liked Cloudcover, she thought the colours worked well. So that’s high praise as she’s not a toy collector in the slightest, Toxitron was described as “sickening” but there’s a nobility to CC it seems

    It's a deco that in-hand is so "Oh, of course!" works brilliantly for a 'Con in that it's not in standard villainous tones but suits a sneaky bar steward, justice at last for an inspired piece of design sadly passed over first time!

    I find myself quite fancying a toy of Cogman. That can't be right, surely?

    He doesn't fit the line at all. I looked at him and thought 'that's quite nice'.

    I must admit, I had no idea there were so many ninja serving in the US military. Every day's a schoolday.

    Maybe instead of searing eyes he can emit psychogenic contrail vapours? That'd be pretty toxic behaviour!
