Thanks flash, the stands are pretty good. The pegs are slightly larger than the pegs on Hasbro stands so its a nice tight fit. I haven't had any figures fall over due to the stands.

just got the steel brigade wave and here are my thoughts: if anyone cares
1. Cobra Trooper-the best of the bunch, cool realistic sculpt, didn't go overkill with weapons and the two silenced pistols are badass... From top to bottom he is a great figure and could see tons of people wanting to army build him. A sort of silent assassin army armed only with silenced pistols...Very cool.. 2. Steel Brigade- My second favorite, mostly for nostalgic sake, I remember mailing away for him as a kid and love the new version and color. Comes with a good amount of artillery and badass helmet. The one drawback is when you take off the helmet it looks like beachhead in a new outfit...but for my guys the helmet always stays on... 3. General Hawk- A pleasant surprise looks grounded in realism with the sculpt and color but retains that nice Joe touch. Also has a pretty neat feature in his briefcase with a flip up computer screen. And has a unique new rifle I have not seen with anyone other joe that looks great in his hands.He just looks like a soldier. Very solid. 4. Cobra Commander- Here is where we start sliding a bit. He is a decent figure, just some odd design choices like the bulky jacket and cape that looks ridiculous on him. It's way too high on his neck and stays flaired out. I really like the snake dagger, but comes with some weird accessories like 'clear cube with blue stuff', 'mysterious blue cylinder', countdown timer display, and tennie tiny septor, and sword with no sheath....but one thing i do love are his shoes....nice looking dress shoes with two tones... 5. Jungle B.A.T- I thought I wasn't going to like him but he is a decent figure but also hampered by one weird choice which drives me nuts. His right hand has the big grip syndrom where he can only hold really wide handles...so can't put his machete or gun in his hand except for the mini gun handle..another annoying thing is that his bullet bandolier looks cool but it is so tight under his arm, he cannot put his arm straight, it sticks out at an angle and just doesn't look natural..like i said it looks cool but had to take it off because of the posing issue...a small gripe but he's still packed with accessories and looks pretty cool.. 6. Blowtorch- Ummm...I don't really know why he is here. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against blowtorch, I have the other iterations of him and the poc on is a very solid addition. But just don't know if anyone was clamoring for another flamethrower. He is decent, but definitely the lowest of the bunch. He is just like the other blowtorches, backpack and flamethrower and some unexplainable mines, and comes with a cool O2 tank but after you put his backpack on there is nowhere to put it. And he has a slot in his backpack that that presumably should hold his axe but it isn't deep enough to hold and slips out....like I said, he is decent but the worst of the bunch in my opinion.. Also finally got all 4 of the lowlight wave thanks to flash70's store in Chicago. My buddy went there earlier today and had nothing but great things to say about flash and his place. The wave blew me away and are by far some of the best I ave ever seen. Lowlight is amazing as well as a accessory stocked, awesomely sculpted shadow tracker. Destro's a monster and Skydive is a minimalists dream. So all in all, not a bad day today... |

Friggen New Vipers and Steel Brigade Troopers are going to kill all my expendable income. And I thought I was done troop building.

Hey guys, hope that everyone can come out to this!
-It's gonna be a lot of fun. He'll be signing, answering any questions, and I'm sure if you twist his arm, he'll do a sketch for you.
