...seeing these figures with their horrid mistakes makes me want to vomit. Yellow Stalker? Might as well call him "Code Name: Banana." Bob the Builder apparently supplied some DNA for the creation of Serpentor, judging by the Cobra Emperor's friendly visage...looks like he's ready to invite Duke and Scarlett over for a backyard 4th of July barbeque. And Firefly? Firefly, Firefly, Firefly...it's a shame that he's gone from blowing up buildings to sabotaging igloos. "Arctic Blast Firefly" is the most disgusting of the bunch, IMO.
If these figures are any indication of what "Wave 2" of the comic packs will bring, well, Hasbro can keep them. Now they're not so much reinventing the wheel as they are blowing it to smithereens and taking a dump on the ashes. I'm sorry, but this is horrible. Hasbro isn't even trying, and it's apparent. As if Stalker's skin colored gloves weren't bad enough, as if the comic repaints weren't horrendously lazy...jeez. This is just a slap in the face.

Am I the only one that's dissapointed that Zartan comes with a sniper rifle instead of a Longbow with sound amplifier?

Maybe this is the variant? And the real accurate/correct color of Stalker is scheduled for another wave?? |

The cartoon, the card art, and the original figure. It's great that Hasbro feels the need to do us the service of making comic-accurate figures, but I was kinda under the impression that the COMIC 2-packs were set aside for that very reason. Not only that, but he didn't even look that yellow in the comics... Quote:
BTW, this is not the first time Stalker had that camo on a figure, a comic pack Stalker from a few years back sported similar camo. It raised heads when it first appeared until people realized that was his actual camo in the comic he came with.
Stalker aside, that still doesn't explain Serpentor's "Come on over and have a brewsky" facial expression, nor does it explain why Firefly looks more prepared to blow up Santa's workshop than anything else. |
