Wow, they seriously went to market with a two-toned Crimson Guard?
BAT is nice and shiny, but no thanks for the cost (aren't we getting another battle-damaged BAT with spores later?). Firefly is a no, which leaves Beachhead as the only one who can still tempt me to throw money away. |

Crimson Guard: seriously, what the hell were they thinking??? Always so close, yet so far.
BAT: perfection Firefly: Interesting choice of parts. However, they should have fixed his webgear... still makes him look ridiculous.

These are nice for carded figure collectors, but if you're into opening and want to army build with these guys you're going to get raped. I loved the silver foil cards and was really choked when they went to the white borders. But I'm not going to pay $12-$15 USD for the same figures on gold foil cards. It's nice to see updated and improved versions of characters coming out on single cards, but again, if the price point is too high to justify opening them. I'll stick to the box sets.

I can't believe that the CG doesn't match...why didn't they make the body the same color as the helmet and backpack?

Hmm they look ok. I don't need a black firefly, or special bat. Just hope we are still getting a battledamaged bat elsewhere. The chromed viper wont match my other vipers and the two toned look of the CG is too goofy to be added to my siegie collection. Guess I will wait to see the rest before ruling it all out. I still need an orignal color Flint with gloves.

I am a stupid completest and will buy these. I am actually very excited about them. I have McFarlane over head light display cases I think these will fit nicely in and look amazing on display. Sad thing is I am not only a moc completest but a loose completest so I am looking at over $200 easily. Luckily I have enough wwe stuff to pimp out on ebay to help cover the costs.

Look at the stomach up close. There's a photoshop artifact there, a grey blob. maybe these photoshopped images are the cause of the mismatch. or maybe it just doesn't photograph the plastics the same. I've seen it happen on photos of customs. Same color, but looks two toned. or maybe it really is just bad QC. Wouldn't be the first for hasbro. |
