Ouch. That stings just a little.

I wouldn't worry about it. If anything, overhype and anticipation is more often than not, followed by disappointment. ;)

I love the swarm troopers, but will be 3d modelling them in 5POA 1:18 scale since I don't collect 1:12.

You?re the only one holding this line together buddy.

For me , the rest of it absolutely sucks. The toys, the cult, the entitled.

You?re writing is impeccable and truly a gift to such a medicore line.

I do now. I also wonder if a big enough helicopter with a big enough magnet could recover these stuck containers. Now I need a 1/12th helicopter and some 1/12th shipping containers. I can use the magnets I got for my Warhammer dudes. That and some voodoo and we can all enjoy wave 1.

That looks cool. I never got into this line. (Heck I'm barely in to Classified thanks to apparently every store in CNY not ordering anything but movie figures) However, I have to say I was bummed to see how the AF Slaughter scaled in Facebook groups. Honestly, I've never been a big fan of The Sarge in Joe as he reminds me of the era where I left Joe behind and it all got too silly for me. That said, when I first saw the photos of the figure I was blown away that the updated modern look made me actually want to own a Sgt Slaughter figure! Now I'm glad I never ordered one. A real shame, though. Because with a bigger buck it would have been a killer figure. I definitely like the aesthetic better than the retro Hasbro version they previewed.
