While I think the 50th is a better Gung-Ho this one does look good. I agree all of these so far look better in hand. Hoping the shoulders aren?t as bad as pictures show. I ordered this guy and worst cast I?ll use him for custom fodder.

At least Gung Ho's are some what obscured by the vest. And I don't think it's as glaring on Croc Master. The twins are where it really sticks out to me, but these have all been so good, I'll probably just deal with it.

I'm finding even the figures I was tepid or cold on, I'm starting to bite on. These have really been pretty excellent overall

SmallJoes just sent me a shipping notice for some Hiya figures I had preordered through them, so they're slowly getting stock. Looks like they currently have Flint, Firefly, Lady Jaye and Destro.

Here's my collection so far.

My firefly is on the way and I also got notifications for Cobra Trooper today too.

I attached pics of Baroness and my attempt at fixing her nose. I essentially cut off most of her nose with a scalpel. I molded some small putty and glued, and then reshaped it and painted it using acrylic + water mixture. Did about 3 layers so far (its a slow process). I hated that witch nose but I think this one looks better. Let me know what you guys think.

Seems better. From where did you get the Cobra Troopers shipping notifications?

Cooltoysclub be screwing up those Cobra shipping notices. Not shipping yet,

Just something funny about the Hiya Baroness.


You can pull her hair off and get a Bald Baroness
Ala Roald Dahl's Witches.
Why? Because why not.


I also weakly taped the included shorter hair piece
at her crotch for a few days because Merkins.


Yes, my family got a chuckle out of that for
a few days, so worth it for me.

Maybe he ordered them from Hiya directly that's why I'm asking. If it was CTC yes it was an error... Again

[chrysophylax]

Really glad Hiya stopped doing the lower eyelid eyeliner starting with Gung Ho. It looks really bad especially with Bludd. Now if only they?d get rid of the lipstick too.

[chrysophylax]

Ok, some proper photos of Major Bludd. It's actually a really good figure from the neck down. I really just can't stand the way the eye and the lips are painted.

This was the first design from the Classified line that leaned more into the ARAH colors, if I recall. But I remember the design already being used for the Operation: Blackout game alongside the other more sci-fi designs.

As for this Hiya figure, the dog tags are very similar to the Hasbro 25th, but are much softer, and thinner. The armored shoulder pad is attached by a pin that finctions as a hinge. As usual, the butterfly shoulders don't really add much to the range of motion. Also, the figure's robot arm is misassembled: the bicep segment should be turned in the opposite direction (the red light should face forward ad the bit that sticks out should be on the outer edge, not towards the body). My lighting makes the glove, belt, and boots seem more blue than they are in real life. As for the accessories, the rocket launcher pistol plugs into the side of the backpack just like the Classified. At first I thought the pistol was already loaded with a non-removable rocket since the tips share the same shape, but it turns out, the rockets also plug into the tip of the pistol. Be careful with those rockets because they like to snap off from the backpack. Finally, the DTC paludamentum is a perfect fit on the Hiya figure.
