To all of you who have picked him up at retail...
Have any of them had the hoses for his head in the box? I looked at like 6 on a shelf today (all they had) and I could not see any hoses at all in his box. Not that it is a huge deal I just thought it was strange. Going to hack him to pices for parts anway but wanted to ask in case others are seeing this as well or if anyone who hoped he had them (as we have seen from china pictures) may want to be careful picking them up. A similar fiasco like Dusty's webgear ensues again it seems...

I know that it was an early release that had the hoses attached to him. It went on ebay for like 200 dollars. I am pretty sure Hasbro did away with the hoses.

No, and here's a stranger thing. Mine has 2 holes in the back of his head for them, but another friend sent me a pic of his and it has the holes filled in.
I remember the test shot from months ago having the hoses, but somewhere along the line, hasbro nixed them. |

6 on the shelves, huh? That CC is the one I want the most and haven't seen it yet in three stores with ROC figures.

Yeah it is a wierd distribution. Over the last 2 days I have been to at least 14 targets some have the figures some don't. Mos tonly have the first half of the wave like neo-vipers, attack on the pitt baroness duke in camo etc. then some have a lot of that one and the second half with deep six shippwreck and Heavy duty etc. All that had any figures had those 2 sets. None I had been to yet had the Paris Persuit SE or the CC till my last stop tonight. I am thinking they have all of the waves in production, it is just dependant on which case they randomley decide to open to put out I guess...or what ever shipment they got maybe?

I got mine at a Target on Friday and it didn't have the hoses. I didn't even realize this until I opened him and noticed the holes on his chest and in back of his head. I went online and looked up pictures of him and sure enough he had hoses. I just assumed mine was a mistake.

Here's a crappy cell phone pic of my CC's head with the holes filled in:
I have another at home that I'm using for custom fodder, I'll have to check it out too. If I get one with holes, I'm adding hoses as I liked them on him |

I've been searching the online retailers and they show CC with images of hoses coming from his helmet. but I've heard on here that those are no longer part of the figure. can someone confirm this for me.
