stretching your O-ring

Just for the record, expecting me to have spare T-bars is not a solution. I have a few spare, but i use them as replacements for T-bars that break.

To be fair here, I think this was a factory error, not something that could have been foreseen. It's unfortunate, but not the end of the world. It could have been a lot worse, and they're trying to get it resolved for future waves.

So I did talk to them about my situation. They've been very helpful so far. Looks like it's an issue on the FedEx side. Given my past experiences with FedEx this doesn't surprise me.

Update: My death sparrow leg was not moving. On closer inspection, even the figures with good mobility, I don’t love how the thigh was going against the t-hook at certain angles. I ended up replacing all of the t-hooks and the figures all work perfectly now. Mild inconvenience but they seem safer with older hooks.

Sorry guys. I should check in more often, I just don't want to crash the party (or what have you). We have designed a new t-hook that works much better (possibly as good as classic ARAH) and have tested it out. We are now asking the factory about mass producing a good amount of these to fire out to our customers when they're available. I just have to hear back about price, timings, etc. Sorry about the inconvenience!
We'll do our best to address all of the issues and get you guys all set up. Just reach out to us on our [email protected] email and we'll do our best. So far things are going quite well, but we want to make sure that no one gets let behind with figures that need some attention. Let us know if anything's on your mind. Thanks Tankers!! |

Two things I haven't seen talked about enough: The backpacks. I remember seeing the sculpt details on the figures as a kid and most of the packs were pretty limited in their functionality. The tiny detailed missiles snapping onto a pack, or the little radio, or the handle to be carried, are all appreciated details. They bring the bags to life. This is on top of many of the weapons fitting there as well. The sculpt detail for the hands. I've only really seen that on Acid Rain World / JoyToy / Premium 1:18, never on an o-ring. You can make out the fingers. Look at roosters hands. Crazy. |

I bought Rooster and a Thunder Battalion trooper. I haven't decided who to get next.

Kestrel is great if you are on the fence with her. Shepherd has a really cool helmet setup that fits on him. Death Sparrow has the drum mag krink. The delta soldiers have the gas mask. I still need to get the Dark Shadows figures.

I decided on Preacher and a ninja bot for this order. Maybe next time I'll get Kestrel and Dark Sparrow.
