The skin tone is definitely too dark for Faarooq, and I'm not sold on the scan, either. I'm totally fine with them in jeans and APA shirts, though, because that was a more iconic look for them at the time period the figures are based off of. Plain black tights would've been lame, IMO, especially given the accessories they come with.

I think Faarooq's scan looks a little wonky, but otherwise I'm very pleased. Maybe I would have done them without the sleeves, but I'm pretty content with this look. I wouldn't mind getting The Accolytes later on in tights with the symbols on their chests, but if we only get one set, this is how I would want them.

I like 'em , that's why I pre-ordered them.
I do wish that we'd get Ministry Acolytes ones day ...
I mean, what else were people expecting from an APA release ?
Bill said APA and said that the accessories would be a door .... do Ministry Members use a door, play cards and drink beer ?
The fact is, that everybody got their hopes up for ring attire Acolytes, when Bill KEPT ON saying APA.
I surely do want the Acolytes, but I'll take these APA just as much as those.

Thanks lol. It's a Wfigs conspiracy, man.. Anyway if they only have a few basic skintones to choose from, Faarooq's definitely closer to Rock than Ahmed Johnson. I've heard Papa Shango, David Otunga and Darren Young as other possible suggestions. But I don't own any of those figs to compare to Rock. I don't have none of those figures either but it sounds just about right, we will find out soon! I'm picking up that Godfather! It's time ... Once again ... fer every body ... Ta come aboard tha ... Hoooooooooooooooeeeeee Train !!

Can't wait for these guys They have their flaws: The sleeves on the shirts, Farooq's skin tone, Bradshaw's meh sculpt, Farooq's sad face. But the accesories are killer, and these will be fantastic for display purposes. Will pre-order next paycheck I would love elite Alcolytes in the future, but I'd prefer the next installment of Ron to be NOD.

Too dark skintone. But, I feel like the attire choice is acceptable imo.

Unless they planned to give us Mideon, Viscera and the whole Brood to go along with SDCC Taker, then I can do without the Acolytes. APA was a much more entertaining gimmick to me.

Hate the painted on sleeves. Some of the Walmart t-shirt series could have been cool if they hadn't used the painted on sleeves. A bit disappointed that they're doing this on elite figures.

They look almost exactly how I was hoping they would... I may be alone on this, but I think I'd rather they be in jeans with molded shirts. The budget would be lower, and they wore that more often than not. I was never a fan of the tights and chest paint look. I will say Faarooq is a tad too dark, but besides that, I'm very pleased.

its very disheartning to see MDT taking easy way out on some of these newer figs coming out. there is really no excuses. we pay a premium price basically for these. and much more for DMs/RSC. Desgin choices keep getting worse. and in the end that falls back on Bill who is the "lead designer"

Looks like the same scan to me. Only difference is the hair and some forehead lines added to Faarooq. woah . . . it really is the same . . ..

I'm more annoyed about the painted shirts... -.- I could deal if they were sleeveless. Farooq needs what Mike Jackson had. Lighten up a bit

You guys are all crazy, there was no Farooq figure shown at SDCC it was just some random guy in an APA shirt.

I think they got painted shirts because of of the accessories. Plus they probably were trying something different from E26 Road Dogg.

Not much of a likeness on Farooq. Bradshaw is a great scan, though. Can't wait to see other versions of him using it.
I really want a Ron Simmons more so than anything else. Hopefully they will pull a Titus O'Neill and fix his skin tone when they do.
