Haven't heard of any issues. What's the problem you're having exactly? They're not fitting together at all? Or you're not getting a perfect seal? Might be easier if you shared photos. You can also post in one of the two Fresh Monkey and Eagle Force FB groups, as probably easier to post photos there (or a video) and have quicker back and forth.
I've got four bubble helmet figures so far and haven't had any problems. One of them doesn't quite get a perfect seal on one side, but I'm not bothered and the bubble still holds together. If the head isn't too big, I prefer to slide the bubble over the head, to reduce wear and tear on the bubble pegs. But generally, they should be fine to open and close. EDIT: These are bagged versions a 'Tanker picked up for me from Joefest, if that makes a difference.

I just got my wave in. Sgt. Blackstone is the one I have opened thus far, and he is fantastic!
I am not sure I love some of them, though. The Hidden and Brodie might just be bodies for the heads I got in the presidents set. I am not 100% committed to this idea, but does anyone have any earlier figures to trade for them? Ultima Thule is high on my want list, though I did preorder the reissue. Baron Von Chill is another I might want. If anyone has wants or offers, please let me know. |

The problem is they're not fitting together at all; there's pegs on one side that fit into sockets on the other side, and the sockets are just too tight for the pegs to go into. Both helmets I have (so far) have this issue. I was contemplating boring out the sockets slightly with a pin vise, but wanted to ask if anyone else was running into that problem too. I don't really go onto Facebook anymore so I wanted to ask here first.

How do guys like Hightide and Lowtide--two of the ones I'm really looking forward to?

Got mine in today. They are nice but for some reason I’m not as excited about them as I was initially. I actually went back and cut down on my preorders for future waves. I’m still getting a lot of them but realized I don’t need to get them all or to get multiples for very head produced.

Before I go buy extras from BBTS, is anyone who bought a set dumping extra figures that they didn't want?

Full disclosure: I am on the fence (I am always loathe to part with any action figures in my possession, even if I am not 100% excited about them). Also, I am boarding a cruise tomorrow and will therefore be unreachable for about a week. |

I am tempted. Which ones are you looking for?

No worries on the wait if we can come to an agreement before you go - if not, though, I may end up making a deal with someone else while you're gone.
