They got the Belt with Dropdown Pistol Holster (black) in stock again, and they seem to have a lot of them.

I'm really liking this Ground Control figure. I did make one slight change to the "recipe", which was to replace the large orange panels on the front of the harness with smaller ones that fit the space better.
The 3D printed hardhat actually fits the head a bit better than the site image made it look, and even has a socket for a mic. It's bulky, but appropriately so. It's fairly sharp for a print; not quite as clean as factory, but any flaws are mostly trivial. Wrench isn't included, but recommended. You can actually fit it under the flap of his satchel: Side-by-side with the Club version of Hardtop. The "official" version has slightly more dynamic proportions, but the MTF version has bolder colors (not that the picture does it proper justice).

Were there any drops this weekend? I heard there were supposed to be, but I didn't see any, and I'm not sure if I missed them (I wound up working OT today and didn't get home until late evening) or if they got delayed.

I didn't see any announcements (they tend to post on Thursdays of the week the drops are planned for) so nothing this week. I'm waiting for the MARV/MGR decal sheet to re-stock myself.

MagicWazard,
Your version of Hard Top is way better than the Club's. For me, that MGR helmet makes the figure. Hasbro's hard hat is just too small IMHO. Jason |

I can't take credit for that MTF Hardtop; that was an actual Geared-Up figure from a couple weeks ago. I almost passed on it, but I liked it too much, and am definitely happy I sprung for it. I do hope that hardhat goes up for sale on its own eventually; if it does, then it would be a fairly easy figure to replicate a la carte.

Yeah, I was just thinking "hey, that hard hat hasn't ever been on sale, has it?"
I know I could put the rest of that figure together from spares (I'd have to take apart one of my son's customs for the body, but... sacrifices need to be made), but the head was stumping me. Thanks for clearing it up. I never realised that the Geared-Up figs had stuff on them that wasn't available in the store. |
