I was already going to have my wife sew up a nice dynamic dark green (like the cartoon) cape, with wiring, for my Serpentor when I got him, but it looks like I'll also be having her sew up a new cape for my Mindbender, too... one that won't stain him.

So the cape is staining the bare skin at the shoulders? That?s crazy. Have either of you contacted Pulse? I guess I shouldn?t put the cart before the horse because I have yet to receive my Mindbender, but if the figure is fu(ked up I will for sure reach out and complain.

For the price you pay the material of the cape should NOT be staining the figure.
Seems like yet another big QC fail by Hasbro |

So with Target blocking Popfindr from working on Python Patrol Vipers..I went to a Target close to me. The night before Target took down Popfindr it said that Target had 10 Vipers...so I went there today to snap up a few more. The employee I talked to said they had 13!!! of them in the back, because of course there were none on the shelf. He brings out a few and I buy two more.
What I don't understand is how does Target plan to sell these. They aren't putting them out on the floor..and you have to ask an employee if they have any, but because Target blocked Popfindr there's no way to know if the Target has any, unless you ask. So it does not surprise me that these end up going to discount stores for really cheap prices. It's like Target has no idea how to better manage these exclusives. Btw I was a big fan of Python Patrol as a kid and am loving the deco of the Vipers. The BATs are okay and also really love the Cobra Troopers. Last edited by Feuergeist82; 11-28-2022 at 02:41 PM..

I wonder if it's the dye rubbing off onto the figure or is just constant contact with it will stain the figure? Either way a pretty bad QC issue on Hasbro's part.

Got Serpentor last week and its such a great figure. I think they did an amazing job on the air chariot because it looks perfect! Am supposed to get Mindbender today...and hopefully Zarana will ship soon according to BBTS. Can't wait to see people start doing their best Joes list from this year! We've gotten so many great figures. And next year may be just as amazing if not more so!

The doc finally arrived after fedex tried their damn best to delay as long as possible. He's one of my all-time faves haha, and I think he looks great. Actually like the cape material other than the seams. Anyone who has collected 1/6 stuff knows you gotta "futz" clothing and I think it can be made workable. Noticed a lot of people leave the collar down, when it should be up. Big fail to have no cobra logo on the back, though =/

Isn't that kind of the same thing?

Here in the Seattle area Popfindr was blocked from the get go. Local collectors kept posting pictures of their TF/PP hauls on Facebook but even checking multiple times a day, Popfindr showed zero. One store kept showing one Viper for days but I knew that couldn't be right either. I stopped checking after my pre-orders started to ship because three of each is plenty for me. Most of the stores never put them out on the shelves either, so probably 90% of the ones sold came out of the back room.
