Wave 10 has finally arrived here in the Philippines.
Here's Toy Soldier 1:18's Quick Review of the newest wave done by one of our members (and moderator),
chrysophylax
:
Got these today. The vehicles (AWE, FANG, CLAW, SHARC, & Firebat) were also released but were sold out once I got to the store.
Some quick thoughts:
Tiger Duke's arms aren't entirely fixed - the cut is now at the cuff but they still can't bend 90 degrees at the elbow.
It's good to have Duke's submachinegun, binoculars, & backpack... now if only my Battle Pack Duke had a back hole!
Mutt's mask swings up & down & is attached via holes on the side of his helmet (when attached, it kind of looks like the Night Viper chin guard)
Junkyard has very disappointing paint applications. I think it's a different mold from the DTC one. Oh, Junkyard is anatomically correct, BTW.
The Para-Viper... is actually a Para-Eel. He has his swim fins strapped to his legs.
The Para-Viper is a little too clunky for me to play with... reminds me of the accessory overload during the 90's.
The Para-Viper has a knife in a sheath strapped to the lower right leg... I'm not sure if it's non-removable or mine is just stuck.
The Para-Viper has an MP5A3 and a really long machine gun with a removable side-loading magazine, folding stock & removable bipod. Both the bipod & magazine fall off at a glance. The really long machine gun has a long bayonet molded to it.
The Para-Viper has removable goggles. And a removable helmet. And a NEW head. It's not Beach Head.
Croc Master... ahh... Croc Master... there's not much you can do with Croc Master. :-/ This new figure is just more detailed. He even has a bite mark on his right bicep.
At least the croc is better than the baby VvV croc.
The Bazooka Trooper is the biggest disappointment for me. I was expecting him to blend in with the Battle Pack Troopers which I troop built but instead the Bazooka Trooper is baby blue. Like the SRO Cobra Commander (or the MASS crystals Commander, I can never tell which is which). Anyway, the Trooper is GLOSS baby blue (The Commander is flat baby blue).
The Bazooka Trooper's card says it's from the comic. Can anyone tell me which specific issue they showed up in?
Finally... the most anticipated figure of this wave: Wraith. Or ;"Mercenary Wraith"; as the card states. The figure uses the '89 Snake Eyes body underneath all that armor.
And underneath the pivoting visor is... Tony Stark!
Be careful with the little wires that connect Wraith's arm cannons to his arm. I broke all three on his right arm just posing him for the photos.
Wraith's P90 is HUGE. He can't even hold it. I don't think any 25A figure can. They made it accurate in terms of detail (not scale), but in doing so, they kept the original handle. Which means none of your figures can hold it. Just get a Marauder P90 with the modified handle, it's more accurate scale-wise too.
