Goddamn you guys. I just bought $105 worth of shit from them. I hate the figures because of the solid torso and lower arms and legs, but the accessories are the shit.

No idea why I bought this, like I'll ever do anything with them. Sigh.

I've heard the words "on par with PoC" thrown around.

Well that's something! Hopefully they can do a V2.0 without the shitty leg guards.

Oh Rex, like you'll ever escape the clutches of toys..

I'm hoping the Valkyries are A: actually chicks and B: not festooned with stupid armor plates.

Rex-

What figures did you get? I might be interested if you want to get rid of them.

A: Most definitely (MJ has hinted at this at least a couple times).

B: Most likely there will be modular/removable options like the guys.

I'm more referring to the sculpted bracers and greaves we can't do shit about on the current figures than the lame modular pauldrons we don't have to buy.

We'll have to wait and see but one thing we know for sure is that MJ listens to the fans (more weapons, true 1:18 weapons) so anything is possible.

What KT said. But, from what I've read and seen, just about every Joe head will fit.

I tell you, I'm not missing that torso joint. I like how easy the torso pops from the waist. Now if Boss fight will use the mid torso and the ball joint into the crotch piece for Marauder's V2.0 figs...Ermahgerd.

I really wish Dollar General still had those $6 Ship Wreck figures because now I can FINALLY get vests, helmets, and headsculpts for them. At the very least I can reinstate the Steel Brigade figures that had to sacrifice their gear to complete those dudes

I don't like them because they make the torso look long and stiff compared to Joe figs and they look inconsistent. I'm OCD and that bugs me. An ideal figure would have both the waist and mid-torso/chest joint, and perhaps double elbows that don't look horrendous like that awful Luke figure.

With webgear on, it hides it, but then I dislike the lower arms and legs with those armored pads. So I didn't want any of the figures, despite the excellent sculpting and on-par articulation.

I'm kind of confused. Those of us that bundled together. Are we getting additional items from the stretch goals beyond what we originally requested? Or was it, we could sub out for those items when that option was available?

Can't speak for yours, but I kept one set and distributed the remaining 2 to the guys who went in with me (we got a Vice Admiral set, so 3 sets of free stretch goals). I imagine NSA will do something similar.

Was it 3 sets of each color on that first page list?

That's a lot of items.

If that's what shows up, I elect a set draft. Whoever spent the most gets the highest pick. They just select a color and they get a complete stretch goal in that color. By my calculation everyone gets two colors, that leaves 3 leftover, probably would be the red, that the highest payees can keep.

I'm trying to figure out a fair system. So any suggestions are welcome.

(Not sure if that's what you meant)

If that's what shows up, I elect a set draft. Whoever spent the most gets the highest pick. They just select a color and they get a complete stretch goal in that color. By my calculation everyone gets two colors, that leaves 3 leftover, probably would be the red, that the highest payees can keep.

I kinda wish I'd thought of that - I just gave mine out kind of willy-nilly. :)

I did redo several of the sets so that you weren't getting mixed colors, though.

I feel like NSA is playing with all of our toys. I feel like he's the guy having sex with my wife (if I had one cheating on me)

Can't wait to get my figures and start the process of cleaning off the Cheeto-skin-grease grime and dried jizz.
