FINALLY found that set at a ghetto TRU in Chicago...And yes, there were tons of em (Western and Belmont Chi-towners)
Picked up one for me and one for Daremo, since he was the only one of my friends that came out in a snowstorm to help me move. (I F'n LOVE you broheim!)
So...Of course in the throes of enthrallment, I really didn't take as close a look at the figures as I usually do...I always make sure to find the best paint apps possible. But I simply grabbed the first two I saw.
1 was perfect AWSOME...the other... Not so much. So being the good friend I am, I'm saving the better for D.
STRAIGHT out of the box...CC...His head was at a weird angle, so ok...Simple pivot...SNAP....
BLOW!!!!
And the Claw??? Would it really be that much of a bother to include the tiny decal sheet?
Duke...Who has an orange tongue? Whatev....Some of his lip is missing, too much teeth...No biggie...
Took off the helmet...Half his hair is gone!!! WTF!
Alpine...Thankfully...good.
Paratrooper dude...it looks like he needs moth balls where he stashes his facemask....No biggie. I may do customs, so of course...TONS of black paint...but even this was something a black sharpie fixed.
...SO... of course ya'll are saying... Just take it back and get a replacement. No reciept. Exchange? Too late. Alpine is the only one left who hasn't had anything divied up between customs or mods.
WIP...Hit n Run using the Paratrooper web gear.
Mods: Duke's Jump straps are now on Grandslam, Paratrooper's head is now on the Fang pilot, and has the orange webgear from a Air Trooper to become yet another officer. "O" Face Duke is coming to work with me and adorning my computer...
And after a bit of chisiling, scrapping, then finally taking a dremel too...CC's head is now on Res CC
Bottom line. Epic fail. Isn't Alpine being released in a comic pack soon? Shoulda' waited.
