I finally broke down and bought a tread ripper on clearance. It sucks. But I wanted that headsculpt. This is why. Hopefully I redeemed the tread ripper a bit; I give you an updated Rock'n'Roll.

My last few shipments with BBTS have been real slow. I think the first time was in February when that PoL sat in the warehouse for 5 days and it was about 10 days before I actually received the order. This current order still hasn't been picked up. I clicked ship on Tuesday and as of right now it still says "electronic shipping info received." So much for 2 - 3 days with Priority Mail, eh? It's going to be over a week before it arrives.
Anyway, I'm done ordering Joe figures. Here is my final take: BBTS Wave 3.5 / Ultimate case x 1 Dorkside Toys Order 1: Kwinn x 1 Ultimate Duke x 2 Data Viper x 2 Order 2: Night Viper x 1 HTS: Order 1 (free shipping): Night Viper x 6 Order 2 (free shipping and 10% off): Jinx x 1 Blind Master x 1 Ultimate Duke x 2 Data Viper x 2 30 figures altogether, err, figgers... |

I canceled some extra preorders on BBTS and wound up replacing them on HTS. So not a total victory for me I suppose. I am still looking at only one lonely Night Viper, as I have been too slow on the draw to get any more than a pre order of Jinx/BM/NV at Dorkside.
I have also had issues with BBTS taking a while to ship an order. My ultimate case got out the door pretty fast, though; it should arrive tomorrow. |

Oh, and does the Clutch head match the Rock's skin tone? I wouldn't think so, but I didn't buy the Clutch Ripper or whatever it's called.

No, though it's not TOO far off. However, I used a "tanned skin" paint to paint the arms that split the difference. Plus having arms that are slightly darker than the face, if one wears a cap, is hardly unusual. Needed to cover up the tattoo, as well.
My favorite part is the molded sunglasses. No need to paint eyes. Eyes are my nemesis. |

The last time I tried painting heads I had to re do it like 5 times and eventually got them pretty good. Then I screwed up the face paint and had to strip it all. Never did pick it back up again.

Rock n' Roll VS was one of my favorite figures as a kid. Loved the rifle pegged into his thigh.

If you meant V2, I'm with you. Right now that's the only ARAH figure I plan on holding onto.

I got my case of Ultimate wave today.
It really is that good. It's not perfect, but I don't see how it isn't the best overall wave Hasbro's released in the modern era. Given that it features 12 figures with lots of new tooling, not a single figure that sucks...yeah, it's really pretty much as good as we'd hoped it would be. |

Mine should be here shortly (out for delivery with USPS). It's the only Joe item in this PoL. The rest are TF related. I do have the Kre-o Ghoststriker vs. ASP coming via UPS today though...so at least one more Joe related item.
Oh, I grabbed a Masterpiece Acid Storm yesterday with a 15% off coupon. Woo hoo. |
