"My name is Psyche-Out, and YOU are going to give me new legs!"
The legs needs changing. ----------------------------- Edited: Cobra Commander also looks good in black ----------------------------- EDITED! Finally finished Psyche-out: wips: Wrong legs (accelerator suit) Looked too clunky, so I opted for this: Painting - had to re-do the gray on the pants as well, it wasn't a 100% match. The finished Psyche-Out! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I got my movie figures, first wave and both 3 packs - More pictures will be added in this thread as I mod and change stuff. But it will have to wait until later tonight because I'm going to the Avengers premiere soon ------- Edit 1: Surgery! And this is the result - My Retaliation Roadblock with highly articulated hands (Thanks to 30th Stalker) and articulated boots! (Thanks to 25th Cobra trooper) More to come! ------ Edit 2: Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow Single packs wave 1 - They both have rocker ankles and extra articulation in the wrists! Good quality plastic too, Stormys hands seem a tad flimsy though. You guys really didn't think there would not be a zombie or two showing up from me did ya? :p ------ Edit 3: Zartan No ankle articulation, I got a crap paint-job on mine as well with bleeding on the back. Not impressed at all, thus far, my least favorite figure. The light effect however is fun! --------- Edit 4. Red Ninja (yes that's plural) To the left is the Wave 1 single pack, to the right the 3 pack. They come with rocker ankles which makes natural foot to the side stance impossible... *sigh* So annoying, not army building these after all... --------- Edit 5. 3 pack Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. Both have rocker ankles and suffer from the same problem as the red ninja. Solid paint apps, great vest on snake eyes! -------- Edit 6. Wave 1 G.I.Joe Trooper, which I have dubbed; Phillip "Halo" J. Colson. The best figure so far. The rocker ankles WORK! And he has insane amounts of stuff that comes with, the only thing I didn't like how it worked was the cape...

Thanks. I didn't pay through the nose for these either XD
The plastic on Duke feels really cheap, and the legs are really bad. I'm foreseeing a peg warmer of immense proportions. Just opened Roadblock and he seems to be better quality in plastic, but has the hands and feet that I will fix. Cobra commander parts thus far are the best, the paint apps are a bit off though, wonder if the quality standard has been set a bit lower (opposed is Duke which has a great paintjob, but crap figure in general). --------- Edited. Cobra (Para?) Trooper I'll admit it, this has potential at least. But, no articulation in the lower legs means those have to go or be modded... This figure also suffers from a craptastic paint job. If this is the quality control we are getting with this line then count on many angry collectors. Neon Blue helmet and harness also has to go, I'll give him a black vest later me thinks. Update! 3 pack Nunchuck (eh Kamakura) and Beachhead! Along with guest appearances from people you've seen before. The beachhead is amongst the best Retaliation figures so far! He has the old ankles (thank God!) AND the wrist articulation, not to mention Snake Eyes' cool webgear. In the pack he also comes with tons of weapons, and ironically enough an extra little knife - maybe hasbro is making up for the missing knife with POC Beachhead XD Also Kamakura is featured, He has the old ankle and the old wrists (I thought the ninja were supposed to get all the articulation what gives?), to be honest the design is off, and he is very bland and weird, not in a good way. He'll be custom fodder for me. Enough talk, more pics! --------- Edit 2: Roadblock 3pack fix. I gave him the same 25th cobra trooper boots, works like a charm, his hands were already okay, no extra articulation, but standard 25th wrists which is good enough for me. Also added a helmet, the beard is gone -only stubble on the paintjob, and the skin is so light, so for me this will not be Roadblock at all. Last edited by haradrel; 04-29-2012 at 07:37 PM.. |
