it's a shame he wasn't designed in mind with this set's waller that frees up the squad's need for adjacency tactics. ignoring waller, he's a solid fighter using his resources, but lacks the team support flag should have. good dial, but missing his character

Been waiting for this character forever! Kind of wish he had Leadership and Sidestep for the whole dial.

sad to think we have three iterations of Captain Boomerang, who all outclass Flag. He's decent for the points, just not the Rick Flag I'd hope we would of gotten.

Wow, this is it?

This is what I've been waiting for, all this time?

I mean, I'm glad I finally get a Colonel Flag, but what a total downer of a character that has literally gone toe to toe with Batman. Hopefully, we get another that is at least halfway decent soon.

I agree, this is not a representation of Flag from the SS at all. He fought Batman to a standstill. His goal is to get the job done whatever the cost. To wait so long and this is what we get?!? That's upsetting.

Definitely not a bad figure for 60 points, but I find myself wanting just more and willing to pay extra points for it. I mean, the Precision Strike is really nice, as are the end-dial Sidestep/RCE...but shouldn't Rick also have Leadership and the ability to remove tokens from any Suicide Squad keyworded figure? And the dial of Willpower help a lot...but shouldn't rick be Indomitable with alternating ESD and CCR? It's like vanilla-with-sprinkles Rick when you really wanted to add gummy bears to your vanilla-with-strawberries Rick. Not going to turn it down, but the experience is a bit lacking.

The major thing that's missing for me to make it feel like Rick is that he should really have a trick like the Batman Family ATA provides: being near him provides staying power (Willpower, a defense boost, something along those lines), being away from him provides a mission oriented boost (attack, range, speed, Sidestep, Stealth, or hell, Colossal Stamina...something like that). He's a battlefield commander: he doesn't really need Outwit or Perplex outright, but having the Squad boost him rather than having him boost the squad is the part that's really sticking in my craw.

This guy is complete trash. Doesn't really bring anything to the battle except taking hits.

Crimson Commando is 10 points cheaper, and puts this guy to shame.

If Rick here had been given a mix of Toughness and Combat Reflexes, it would've made all the difference in the world.

surprised nobody's mentioned how well this guy combos with Fiddler. sitting on a permanent 20def as long as he's next to him, possibly 21 with another next to him.

@SpaceTitanium- wow, I didn't even think of this. A rep to you sir.

He also pairs nice with Manhunter Prime.

WIN/LOSS: 1-0 Rick Flag is a piece you can play aggressively but needs to be played smartly. An insanely low defense means either defend or careful positioning behind allies is needed to keep Rick alive. Fair cost for what he brings, I wish he had some support ability to make him a piece to reach for in low to mid-build Suicide Squad teams. Leadership, Perplex, or giving out a bonus to the Squad, even with an increased price would have made him great.
