Thank you for the pics! Can I just say that Pilot Baroness is just gorgeous, and I don't just mean her beautiful face. They did a great job on the rest of her too. And Wild Weasel looks great too! Thanks again Goldengreg!

The one thing that bugs me though? The map/notes on his thighs should be upside-down, since the idea is that he uses them for reference when he's sitting in the cockpit. Wonder if that'll be changed before release.

Here here to WW being a sexy beast! lol

I honestly think if they know it's incorrect in the next 6 months, they have time to correct it. As long as it's mentioned in a way that's constructive though! Let's not say shit like (and I don't mean you Heifer, I just mean "let's" generally), "Ugh! Lenny doesn't know what he's doing!" or "Hasbro's stupid! Why can't they do the maps right on Wild Weasel". Not saying any of us have done that, but I things of that nature like that in YT comments over the weekend.

Lenny and Tony - we love Wild Weasel and he looks awesome. We noticed that the maps on his thighs are oriented the wrong way though and should be positioned looking up at Wild Weasel sitting in the pilot seat.

I definitely think so! They already had a painted, functioning prototype at the show so I think the odds are it will ship Sep-Nov 2025.

Thanks for sharing that DF! I love seeing BTS stuff for the line.

I sure hope so! Honestly, just seems like there were too many Fridge things happening this weekend for it to not be a coincidence. I have a feeling he's coming in 2025. But it's just a feeling.

Not to expose too much of my own weirdness, but often to me I just like the fact that the option is THERE, even if I will probably keep him helmeted like his original figure.

My favorite thing about this line is the removable helmets and masks and gear... I love that the figures are that detailed that we have the choice.

For the military buffs, I feel your pain to degree. Even if I dont know or care about what you are saying 9 out of 10 times. Whether that is Airborne / Airforce, map orientation, clip size and barrels, robot wings or feather wings, cinder blocks or breeze blocks or whatever.

Okay, I will stop complaining about the maps needing to flip.

My biggest gripe with with Wild Weasel is the head reveal. They gave him a haircut with a part on his right side. Everyone knows he should have his hair parted in the center. Center hair parts are for old-timey saloon barkeeps and 2nd-tier villains. Wild Weasel definitely hits that upper-henchman level of bad guy who should have his hair parted down the middle.

I also would have accepted Wild Weasel with a classic "Moe Howard" haircut revealed under the helmet. Lenny needs to spicy things up and not just give everyone either a crew-cut or a left/right part.

copy and paste signs

Edit to add: Love the Rattler and can only find fun stuff to argue over.

I think it's funny that we now have helmetless sculpts for Wild Weasel, Scrap Iron, and Big Boa... and yet nothing for Barbecue, Beach Head, and Shockwave.

Yes! I feel the exact same way too. I just love having the options with all the gear being removable. I'm sitting at my computer right now with Torch and Gnawgahyde and have all their accessories laid out and am totally loving it (still a bit bummed Torch's glasses weren't removable lol).

Hahaaaa! I intend to be inside most of the time except when going to the pool or walking to some of the other casinos. Seeing Dead & Co. at the Sphere, heard they keep it really nice and cold inside there!

Yeah, that just seems wrong to me. I give Scrap-Iron a pass only because most of his face is already visible and his original 1984 design was originally going to feature a removable helmet too.

Anyone here have centre parted hair? Asking for a friend.

Also, what is hamburger meat showing? Lol

Weapons like the Flak gun still being used and weapons like the HAL that don't even exist. Raptor. Croc Master. Pogo battle ball things...

So, if there's a Marine Sniper (Scarlett was already a graduate of the Marine Sniper School back in 1982) or someone's packing a double-barrel AR or Wild Weasel's maps are upside down, just go with it and enjoy these little errors.

You know, you are spot on man. Thanks for the true perspective... I had a momentary lapse of reason.

Much appreciated.

I did...in 1992. Hahahaahaha!

Isn't it when a guy's chest hair's showing? I only know that because I'm a hairy dude and my buddies are always saying my hamburger meat is showing lol

I agree with this.
