Yeah? I got the only other Firefly and Cobra Commander to pop up that I've seen. I just can't bring myself to preorder Alley-vipers for 15 bucks from other sites. Fortunately, I usually have pretty good luck through HTS.com. Case in point, I just picked up five Vault Guardsmen to keep the peace in my Marvel Universe.

Yeah, when I got that Alley Viper there was a CC available too but I just can't get into the design. Call it what you like, but I just don't like the new CC one little bit.
You got 5 of a single fig on HTS? Don't they limit you to one each per order?

Five was the max limit, actually.

I wish Joes had a limit of 5. It's clear this is some sort of Collectors Discrimination at HTS. Damn dirty apes!

At one point, you could buy up to ten Resolute Cobra Troopers at a time.

So what do we think of these SK Omega figures?
I'm seeing some real potential in the vehicles and missle command base. Especially that Owl Transport copter. |

I think I'll believe they'll make it to the market the day I see them on store shelves, and I'm not buying a single thing till I either see it in person or see many high quality in-hand photographs.

Damn, quoted with a typo... "missile"
Anyway, that's somewhat disappointing to hear. I mean, I think I'm gonna wait for a review or two, but assuming the quality's decent, I may order an Owl through BBTS. |

I am just skeptical of the ability of a non-major company to bring action figures to the market in this economy, especially one with no history of tie-in media yet. They have no website. They have, from what we can tell, designs. Designs are a long way from store shelves. Those guys are total pros, obviously, because of their involvement with Joe in the 80s. I'm not saying they can't or won't do it, I'm saying that I'll think about buying that missile base when I see it on a shelf and I'm skeptical that it'll look as good as it does in our...or their...minds for anything less than $150 bucks.

Ah, well, that's true enough. But assuming that the line does make it into full production, [which, you're right, is a big if] the one setback I see is the o-ring design and possibly the standard 3 3/4" scale.
It seems a lot of us have moved on from the o-ring. With any luck, the modern design will fit well enough into any vehicles that are released. I honestly see the line becoming more along the lines of a PTE or BBI series. |
