...I just got it...
HOLY S###!!! 62.99 here in a suburban Chicago Target. Only one they had out...I saw it from down the aisle and couldn't help but laugh insanely... I haven't even cracked this beeyotch open yet, and I gotta say...SWEET... Only problem is that the steeler's left hand looks all gimpified. bent at a weird angle. I'm hoping I can fix it, but we'll see. Worst case scenario, take an spare trooper's hands for it... cause that's what it is, cobra trooper arms and hands. ALL Helmets are not visible, which makes CC look really weird in the TB. Same with SF just kinda' kneeling there next to his mortar. Cobra Trooper...the colors are REALLY off. there was a thread about a Viper leader? This is deff. it/him. The blue has a ton of grey in it. Destro...AWSOME...Same with Stalker. MUCH Darker colors...HISS Driver is different too with a silver chestplate. I can't say anything bout the vehicles yet...As soon as I CAN, I'll get some pics up... Right now... Where's my knife..... MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Buddy, nail clippers are the best for the twist ties. ;)
Can't wait to see some pics of the Hiss. I'm not too keen on the silver of the driver though. But the rest looks sweet (save for ANOTHER CC). |

Good to know that the set comes with the helmets off. Saw one yesterday, but didn't pick it up because I thought CC was missing his helmet. Thanks.

Just snagged two here in Seattle! If anybody in the 206 is reading, there's one left on the shelf at the west Seattle Target )

At my two local targets, they've had 4 stuffed onto the shelf at any given point, so I'm thinking these guys might actually last until a clearance sale. Damn... figured they'd be hard to come by.

All figures HAVE their gear..no missing helmets. Steeler even has a black visor. Switched out SF's basic helmet with an extra Grand Slam for more OG look...The Doc head makes the helmets kinda' loose though, and the paint apps on the glasses blow!!!
...Thank god I'm a Koostum god... heh I'm actually digging the dark CC...He may actually become the default. Great paint apps. Destro...F'n A....If only they had put paint apps on the eyes...Perhaps a switcheroo with the DVD D, and he's also default. Steeler deff. needs work. New hands. And the screw on his upper right leg is off...big gap. I really like the tan, and I'm glad I have plenty of W7 SE goggles to mod the helmet with. Prolly switch heads too with the Armadillo Steeler. HISS Driver. He's okay, I wish they woulda' just done the W7 re-pack. It'll do I suppose for the CrimHISS tank since I made Rip-It the Target excl. HISS Driver, and use the W7s for standards Cobra Trooper AKA: Gunner...I really dig the bluish grey and red. I may toss on an extra Viper head and make him the Viper squad leader Short Fuse: REALLY loose, and I'm not too happy with the "grunt" web gear. Gota figure out something to make him stand out and look more unique. I have extra Air Trooper webgear that I may paint brown and use, and again, the paint app for the glasses suck, and the Doc head makes helmet REALLY loose. Otherwise other than loose legs, great figure. Stalker...Whoa...If it wasn't for the fact that his hands keep falling off, I'd say a deff. win. Fixed crotch, dark colors. May use a wave 5 SE's hands for him. Needs some paint touch ups around the eyebrows and BLACK BERET...but easy fix, and looks really good with the lighter skin tone. VEHICLES.... MOBAT...Awsome...I just wish I had picked up 2 D batts (Not included) Steeler looks kinda' awkward in it. it looks like he's sitting on top the tank due to the bigger size of the M.E. figs...though even back in the day, Steeler was always "ridin' high"...Still, it's the first official TANK for the new era, and a classic. Sturdy construction for rugged play indeed. The beeyotch is a solid piece of plastic. CrimHISS...Typical. Solid colors, dosn't look cheap. TrubBub: What a piece of crap...Nothing on it stays on...hoses, "Jetpack", missles...I dig the colors, but a lot of super glue is going to be involved. Honestly though...It was worth the price mah' peeps.... To steal a page from our standard reviewers... 7/10

CC is actually among the highlights of the pack for me. The Vehicle Gunner and Hiss Driver are okay, while silver IG Destro is just meh... (after the first release and DVD set, my concern isn't whether his head is chrome or silver paint but rather if they color his eyes or not.
Short-Fuze and Steeler are disappointing. There are some really well done 25th versions of the original 13 (Flash, Rock N' Roll, and Clutch) and some that are just okay (Hawk, Breaker). Short Fuze and Steeler fall into the "poor" category along with the SRO Grunt, but unfortunately he's not as easily fixed. I could also take or leave Stalker...cool jetpack but I like the Wave 3 green one the best. |
