Ohhhh, good call, yeah that's probably correct unless they did something crazy and Q's hair has to come off to put the helmet on.

I order double of Walmart exclusives to guarantee that they actually send me what I want. I order 3 for a friend. I'm leaning towards only keeping 2 for me. The bike is really nice (love the copper highlights) and I am more sold on the Night Force Steel Corps in person than I thought I would be, but I already have troopers picked out for the Night Force subteam.


I'll post collection pics eventually, but I just haven't had time to get my Joe and Cobra shelves rearranged since the deluge of product in the back half of 2023 due to work being crazy and some family health stuff. With so much stuff and vehicles released since like July of 2023, I need to take down more of my Transformers collection to make proper room and move Joe adjacent brands to their own shelving. Stuff has been getting opened, inspected, serving as a desk toy for a couple of days, and going into storage.From a display angle, I was happy that the dragonfly was delayed since I have a HISS living in my home office reading chair since two couldn't fit on my cobra shelves.

I don't know how accurate these are but Raptor becomes a hard pass if he comes out looking like this:

I'm a little surprised it's only a round peg, and doesn't have a "lock" on it like they did with Wasp's wing pack in marvel legends:

I think those are customs, the source IG image is more than a year old. Agree, whatever they're showing off for Raptor here looks like poop.

Yeah those are just customs; those are Marvel Legends Archangel wings painted brown.
Personally I don't really like Toy Habits for Joe news, too much misleading or incorrect information. They are good for MOTU news though.

Ah, yes re-reading it, those are customs, that's what I get for skimming and sharing when Google alerted me to these. Still, garbo.

My NF cycle was shipped from a Walmart 20 minutes from me. When I ordered the $12 Grunt figure from Target it was pulled from store stock and shipped.

Good point, actually.

I believe there are also shoulder pads to keep the wings stable

I agree with you 100%. They are the National Enquirer of Toy News. Even the layout and composition style is similar LOL

Yes, you're right. Here's hoping they do the job.
