Quick Kick and Techno Viper arrived yesterday, QK was wrapped in that cargo-netting paper to protect him, TV wrapped in nothing. It amazes me how I consistent these figures are packaged when they're coming from Hasbro directly.
QK looks great, though I don't see a need for his second head. For the TV, I have to agree with the few on here about his color, the purple is off-putting. It's the reason I didn't get the Alley Viper, that orange. Feels like they had a whole rainbow of different vipers, but some of the color schemes are just yuck Retro Recondo comes tomorrow, can't wait. Still wondering why Retro Duke & Scarlett haven't shipped yet or anything...I thought all 3 of them were supposed to come together??

Looking at WonderCon tomorrow, are we expecting any reveals, and more importantly, any preorders to crop up during the Hasbro presentation at 6pm Eastern?

Count me in on team purple. I got my Techno to stand next to the Trubble Bubble and even though I haven't unboxed him yet, I think their colors should go together well. Trying not to open all my new deliveries at once so maybe I stop buying more stuff for dopamine. Figure if I open one, wait a little bit and then open another I've already purchased, I might enjoy it more. Rather than opening 5 new figures at once and not giving them the time to try each one out.

I do this now too. The last big set of figures I got in where I just tore into all at once was the STALKER/TWINS wave. I still have not opened the Diver, and just got QK, TV and Airborne last night. Probably start with QK tonight. I like making them last and looking at them in package too. I waited two days for the VAMP so I would have plenty of time to enjoy it.
That said I've got the new Action Soldier and Quick Kick out of their boxes so far and I love them both. I haven't even taken the cloth goods off the soldier yet or tried to attach anything, he just looks good standing there.

Just picked up Retro Scarlett and Duke at Target in Oxnard, CA. They had Recondo, 50th Soldier and Sailor, and Metal Head. Also many copies of Junkyard and Mutt. None listed online except Junkyard and Mutt. Weird how it works.
Cancelled my Pulse orders for Scarlett and Duke. Happy to have them now. They look great! |

That ended with the last two, I think Zartan & SS, now it's mainline

Just on pure looks, I am very pleased with Big Boa, Techno Viper, and Airborne. Quick Kick is decent. My biggest problem is getting these guys to stand. For some reason they feel a little loose
Techno Viper is my favorite and he is a fantastic looking figure in hand. |

There was some add that said reveals about Cobras coming to the line, to paraphrase since I cannot recall it, exactly.

Team Purple! For some reason, I think purple is a bad guy color. Decepticons, Saw Viper, Night Creepers, Techno Viper, definitely need more purple. |
