This is the Ultimate thread.

That firefly looks better than it did at toy fair

Mangler is the only one that comes to mind. (Need more caffeine) Some actual named Cobra peeps that showed up in the comics would be nice too.

Unless I'm mistaken, Kwinn comes with POC Lowlight's backpack, a.k.a. the greatest backpack ever. I may have to get multiples just to get the backpacks and then sell off the figures.

Also, the drone comes with both Duke AND the Data Viper? That's awesome. Or it's a mistake, but I'll end up with a drone either way.

After the cheaply made Retaliation figures, this line brought us a lot of hope, with nice sculpts and detail. The original images look nothing like the final pictures displayed here, however. The figures appear to have been severly downgraded in quality and detail. Anyone with a good pair of eyes can see this; plain and simple. I am incredibly disappointed with Hasbro. Any redeming possibility they had with this line just sank, as they pulled a fast one over the collectors. And I say collectors because the young kids today wouldn't recognize many of these character designs. Too bad, a really poor way to show your true colors, Hasbro. Just a downright shame. See the two examples I threw in for comparison:

Like I said: fan expectations.


Also, ever stop to think that the only reason we're getting Kwinn and Data-Viper is because they saved some money elsewhere so we could get those two?

We've all seen the comparison and frankly this is a tad over reactive, understanding first that the comparisons are dumd to begin with...let's compare a hand painted display figure to introduce a wave at a toy show to production still frmo a Chinese seller...man oh man you guys are too funny, lets at least wait till one of us has one in hand before we claim Hasbro pulled a fast one...

*sees the new in-hand images posted on FP of "Ultimate" wave*

*clicks to discussion thread*

WHAT!?! PAINT APPS ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT!?!?!?!
Quick! Everybody call the




I pre-ordered a case of this wave and from what I can see, it wasn't a bad idea.

[Mr Hebime]

I'm still glad I pre-ordered from BBTS. If RB does come with that crap paint job, then I'll just swap his head with the wave 1 version I used to make a custom Sgt Slaughter. Everything else, beside Budo (WTF?), looks real good to me.

[turner]

These are fabulous, and their accessories rock. Even the ones I'm not interested in (movie firefly for example) have cool accessories that I'd like to get (hiss drone).
