25th Anniverseary Xamot and Tomax Comic Pack

[CrimsonAce89]

I just got these guys today in the mail and I'm ticked that i didn't pick up these guys sooner cause they are hard to come by as well as not being the cheapest guys around. Unfortutally my digital camera is out of comission and i wont be able to show you any pics but, take my word for it when I say the detailing on the two is amazing to the cobra knee guards to the molded cobra symbols on the back of the foot. Xamot has his iconic scar separating him from his brother. The accessories are just two pistols and a base for the each of them. Overall a highly recomended pick up if you can get them. I'm giving them a rating of 9.5

I like them...but I have to admit I never saw them at retail, I had to buy them from ebay.

[Van Hammer]

Pics or it didn't happen.

[krooklyn]

I know which ones you're talking about. I had that set too. Complete with the comic book too.

Here's a review from years ago.

Flea market for $12, they were loose, but perfect shape.

[spiderpumpkin]

I remember way back in the day, 2-3 years ago, when these were collecting dust on pegs and now they are treasures. Give Arctic Destro a couple years and we'll have another rarity.

I thought that the mirrored sides on the packaging was a nice nod to the originals. Subtle but cool.

[crock master]

awsome score this late in the game

That was the review that sold me these guys id just wish i coulda done more justice for these guys

[vtt1jam]

Never too late to start... Just gets more expensive the further you go back...

yes...
while me and my boys were looking in stores for them, i was telling them about the originals, and when we found them, i said... they look just like this.

[CrimsonTwins]

I just got mine a couple of weeks ago via a trade on the one and only HISSTANK.com!!! Don't know wgat I ever did without this place! Well, yrah I do - wasted more time and gas!

[bandonov]

I loved that set so much I had to buy a second to open! and later on I picked up a loose set too!

[Solscud007]

Are they really that hard to get? Cause I'm not a serious joe collector and I have them. I think I got them at target. This was in store obviously. I just recall not having them as a kid. I remember the originals had a zip line and I was rather dissapointed that these ones don't. I opened them and threw the comic and stuff away.

I would not say they are hard to get, but they are now Extensive Expensive! Around $30 for MOC

I was looking online and i remember seeing the crimson twins with a red out fit and red base was that so sorta exclusive cause i never saw them on ebay again

One of the China eBayers has one of the brothers from that set. Not sure why the other bro doesn't show up on their sites as well. Seems like a no-brainer

call me crazy, but I am going to go out on a limb and say that most people already know the details of figures they've had for years.

I paid $75 to get the Twins from the 2009 Crimson Strike Team Con set.

Check his start date - he's new here. So he's excited about to discover some figures that most of us had a while back. Relax.

[Weezus]

i still have the originals in the package... gonna be sellin em on ebay pretty soon. i hope they are valuable.

[Solscud007]

I guess it is relative but $30 is not expensive. If they were fetching over $100 then I would call them expensive.

[Akunin]

Someone has the Twins in their red strike team con outfits up on ebay:

[Magick]

I think I have had at least 8 sets of these guys.. Mainly for their arms and legs for customs. LOL

Yeah, but so excited that he started a thread in the review section with a lazy review and no pictures. I'm not trying to give anyone a hard time, but these are not even recent figures.

This thread is surreal.

Yeah. I've been wanting to pick up another MoC set to try and custom card it with the 25th packaging and a blown up reproduction of the original card. I'm not convinced I have the means or skills to do so, however.

ain't that the truth :(

[esg2145]

I deliberately grabbed two extra sets of these when I could, one to make into a EE set w/ CC SDCC outfits and the second set b/c I knew they were going to be good trade fodder down the road. :)

[Flint Faireborn]

Great pick up.

By far my favorite of the 25th comic packs. I had to pick up two... one to open and one to keep MOC. I like to display the twins driving trouble bubbles reminds me of the old 80s cartoon.

[Tomax & Xamot]

Excellent Set of Figures, Congrats!!! :D

[McSoundwave]

I have two sets currently, both MISP. And, I'd be lying if I said I didn't want another. What can I say? They're just two of my all-time fave characters from ARAH along w/ Stormshadow, Zartan and Firefly. Co-braaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!
