I think Amazon had November or something like that (and that was before H'bro announced delays), so yeah. WM is high or something.

I got the email from Pulse about it. I didn't PO anything. Most recent POs for me were Leatherneck and Zandar, and might be the last ones for a while. I had to make them from WM because AMZ has them listed as "Unavailable." Not that I am crazy about trusting WM to do a good job, but that was my...

AWE Striker was my guess too, definitely looks like it’ll be an upgraded version! Maybe they are putting a lot of energy into the vehicles/playsets and that’s taking away from new fig development.

https://toynewsi.com/278-55267 Well, that was a big fat bucket of meh. The only new thing I have even remote interest in is Footloose. But even he is a big pile of repaint and reuse, so he is hardly a big deal. I have zero interest in the polar bear, the MASS device, the purple or blue SE, the...

I feel like maybe some of the repaints are more that way. My Crimson Alley Viper has bow legs because he was made a little softer and I think got a little compressed in the package. I don't know if that is actually a quality issue or a conscious choice to make them less brittle.

If you can't be better, be brighter... Unfortunately it still looks like bendy weapons are a problem.

Yeah, between NE, Raptor and OAM CC (and zombies too I suppose), we've definitely diverted toward the weird, and that's not a good thing. I feel like this line is always teetering on the edge of losing favor as it is, then they go and roll the dice on the same characters that set off the...

My takeaway: Hasbro should never have made Raptor in 1988, as an accountant in a suit or not. I think they tried to make him more "threatening" or relevant when they decided to make him for the CS line (their second mistake). I'm not sure if the new version is supposed to be the same accountant...

Definitely better. What did it even say? I can’t read it from the promo pics. What do you think about the fig overall? Dude is a hoss, that’s for sure.

Got my 60th HALO and Marine. Not bad but not perfect either (particularly the Marine’s hair vs. backpack). Got them displayed as my Ripcord and Bombstrike, at least for now.

https://toynewsi.com/345-54970 I really don't see any appeal in these. I honestly think this version of SE is inferior to the 1980's figure in almost every way. It's proportions, deco and kit are all worse than the 40 year old version. I know there is a measure of forced nostalgia there in...

This looks pretty cool, and for a good cause: https://toynewsi.com/457-54940 I just wish that Vala would fix the whacky scaling issue on their mags. It takes away from what would otherwise be a pretty sweet looking rifle. (It's like that with all of their rifles). :(

I can't see that without hearing 🎵" Just the good ol' boys..."🎵 :thumbsup:

But they're soooooo cuuuuuuuute!!! :LOL:

Lol, yeah. I was just planning to use the whitey head for Bombstrike and call it close enough, at least for a character I have little actual knowledge of anyway. My team just needs more cool gurlz. :LOL: As for the Ripcord, I was thinking that I might go the hanging route like you said. I have...

I’ve got them PO’ed for versions of Ripcord and Bombstrike. They’ll do until something better comes along, if they do. Hardest thing looks to be how to display a HALO jumper, and definitely not with the cheesy parachute.

1:12 scale?

😳 That’s a little extreme, especially considering there isn’t even a Joe CS airplane yet…

Ooh, those look cool! But I was actually thinking clear eye pro for him (I know, high maintenance). I already tried Mutt and Hawk’s tinted ones and didn’t like them very much. Edit: I knew I had seen clear ones somewhere, and just found them again. I will likely give him Leatherneck’s glasses...

As promised, I gave Grunt an upgrade to a more modern deco and a better rifle: His original gear actually goes quite well with the deserty camo pattern so all that got moved over. I wanted to swap over his boots too, but Hasbro, in all its wisdom, apparently feels it necessary to vary the...
