I'm surprised that nobody has posted this. It's good to know that muthafuckas on The Tank actually have lives and y'all are out and about on this Friday evening/Saturday morning.

Say what will about Bobby, but this a bold move to have an all female wave. I also have to give B.V. props on being readily available and his having a wellness to answer all questions. Granted he might get in his feelings and get all "pissy panada," in his answer to a question, but he will answer it. Where as Hasbro brass will put a muzzle on their employees and cherry pick which platforms they will go on.

While they still might need to be heated to articulate initially (I will be doing so as a precaution), I haven't seen anywhere where the stiffening is a reoccurring issue afterward like it is with Series 1.

Would a softer plastic be more prone to warping or breakage?

I have to go to my daughter’s graduation and cannot watch this now. Was the full wave 3 lineup revealed?

Congratulations on your daughter's graduation. I haven't watched it, but all of the figures in Wave 3 are in the thumb nail.

Warping for sure but I doubt breakage.

Female figs look good but need to see in color might nab the not Zarana.

I saw a pic of then on Instagram (not painted). Could definitely use the female steel brigade for a custom.

Breakage, no. While theoretically stronger, the original plastic was more prone to breakage from a shelf topple due to it's unforgiving rigidity. While not as "strong" per say, these should be more durable and allow for articulation without the need to heat it up every time. As far as warping like Legends, Black Series, etc., possibly? Nothing a hot/cold bath won't fix. What he changed to is essentially what he trashed Hasbro for doing with the Classified figures which use the harder plastic for the torso and pelvis, and the softer plastic for the limbs.

Thank you.

So I have a Swarm Trooper on order through BBTS that I originally ordered with the plan to customize it into a new type of Cobra Viper. All this talk of having to heat the wave 1 figures up sounds like a huge PIA especially while working on custom. Should I just cancel/even bother holding out for that figure?

I know you are complementing everyone but now i feel like a big dork for watching half of it like an hour after they streamed.

Bobby did a good job showing off the wave and answering questions. From what I saw - there was none of the stuff that polarized the fanbases in the past. I thought it was interesting as he talked about the new factory for wave 3 compared to the old factory for the other waves without putting the originals down. It seems like Wave2B is coming real soon but at the very least wave 3 preorder up in the next 2 weeks.
