The AF are bigger - not a ton, but they are and it is noticeable in static poses with everyone lined up together. There wasn?t a Classified line when Vala sent them to the factory, so he used Legends as his standard - a line he had worked on and was very popular. In action poses, you don?t notice the difference.

So what's the deal is it 1 run only on figures? Good for 1st sales FOMO but not late-comers .

I believe there are plans to reissue past figures in the future, possibly with different packaging.

I must be getting better at waiting for BBTS to ship wave 1. I missed the monthly change to the estimated shipping date.

So I bought v1 Sarge no paper inside his box, his joints in the arms seem fine just his knees are super tight and don't want to force them. 1 Question though top of right leg where it pegs together below the hip part does it sit out a little bit? Is that normal.

Hard to say as I am still waiting for BBTS to get wave 1 to me but I know on the Classified figures once you have had them in a kneeling type position you do need to push the legs up into the hip again. Is this what you mean?

Side note Kapowtoys still have Sarge and condor along with the troop builders/packs in stock you might save some import fees that BBTS now add, was too costly for me to import from them since they charge VAT their end. Last edited by Stormchaser; 03-10-2022 at 03:22 PM.. |

Thought I would post my thoughts on Wave 2A as I won't be posting any videos about them for the foreseeable future. I did order all four figures.
I received them on March 3 and finally opened them on March 10. Overall I think these figures are much better than wave 1. I have not needed to heat up any of the joints. While still a bit stiff, I didn't feel like any would break while articulating. I am not sure yet, but I might run a hairdryer over them briefly just to loosen up the joints a little. Unlike a lot of people I like looser joints so I can easily manipulate the joints. Stiff joints are good for posing. My Scarab did not have the broken leg issue, so that was nice. I was not as excited for the Scarab as I didn't think the figure looked great online, but in person I like the figure a lot. I think it looks pretty great. I was disappointed that his vest doesn't allow for proper placement of the jet pack, but then it occurred to me that Scarabs are beetles. These are ground troops and not air troops. Slaughter v2 had the biggest issue for me. His left knee is almost on par with wave 1 knees and there is a split on the right shoulder of the torso. Other then that I think it's silly he came with the marine hat, backpack, and web gear. I don't think those items look good on him. The gold sun glasses are really soft and I bent them already trying to put them on his face, so I won't be using those very often. His hat is the same as version 1, difficult to stay on, but when you hit that sweet spot it stays on good. His web gear is very easy to take off and put back on. The pegs for this vest is how all the other vests should have been. Rollout is about the same level as Condor to me. He doesn't really stand out and blends in with the other generic troops. I like his colors. Just a good troop figure. I have not removed his vest to see if it is any easier to put back on from wave 1. I really don't want to have to work to reattach something that should be easy. Duster is a bit weird. Both his faces look odd and I found his screaming head extremely difficult to place on the neck ball joint. He does have a new body style, from what I can tell. He comes with some headphone pieces to replace the ear protectors on the helmet. That is kind of neat. On the back of his vest there is an radio antenna (?) that I think might be fragile if you play with the figure too much. I have not removed his vest to know if it is better than wave 1 vests. I was able to place all the figures on their stands with no problem. Night and day difference. The packaging for these figures is also different. The boxes are blue instead of green. The cross sale shows pictures of the figures instead of the figure art (I like the art better). It makes the cross sale look more amateurish to me. The figure stands now have a spot at the bottom on the inside plastic. It's difficult to clearly see the figures from the front through three layers of plastic. I think he needs to loose some of the plastic. All accessories fit in the plastic tray except Slaughter v2 had a bag with a couple accessories in it. I really like the torso Bobby has designed for these figures, I think it works well. The torso is restricted when the vests are on. Overall I really like these figures. When I was placing my order for wave 2A I decided to not order wave 2B because I was going to drop out of the line. The hours I spent heating and reheating wave 1 figures just to pose them or place on figures stands was very tiring and I didn't want to continue doing that with future figures. These figures have renewed my interest in the line and I might try and snag some of wave 2B when it becomes available.

I think a lot of people are going to like Rollout a lot more once they read about him. He is definitely one of my favorites, and it is a shame that his intro got pushed back.
Big things are coming for him. Stay tuned. |

This is where this line is actually being discussed?
Are there any in hand uo close shits of Rollout? I feel like his head was subpar in videos I’ve seen. I’m thinking when they restock or if BBTS ever gets theirs I’m grabbing SB and Swarm. Hopefully they reissue Bone Collector, he’s the best looking one. |
