So, what's the verdict? Which is better - the VAMP or Stinger?

Absolutely. He needs to look just like the Mike Zeck cover.

Exactly . Only masked person we need are classfied alias?s and file cards ie snake eyes, firefly CC etc.

Beachhead has a name and birthplace as well as shockwave. Glad they unmasked them in CANON and In the figures.

Not the right thread I know but pretty sure it was mentioned in here in a conversation during a lull in Classified news. BBTS has pre-orders up for a re-release of the Mafex Hush Batman (blue suit version) for those that mentioned wanting that figure (it's fantastic by the way). No down payment required.

Stingers charged and shipped (Amazon). And the HasLab is set to charge next Sunday (or the Monday following)? Great job, Hasbro! :(

The Noks would definitely drive an old Charger. Is that a model kit - or a toy?

Got my first Stinger in earlier today, and it is nice and gets the job done. It is a little underwhelming after getting the VAMP, but I think either vehicle was gonna suffer from that fact regardless. It was always gonna come down to release order for which one gave you the first experience with the mold.

The Stinger has the same small peg to attach the missile tree as the VAMP did from the turret, so be prepared for it to get knocked off. The missile tree itself is more sold than the turret so it getting knocked off just means reattaching and not having to deal with the ammo cans or other stuff getting moved like with the VAMP.

After this release, the HMS, the missile pods for the HISS, the ferret side missiles, the trouble bubble missiles, scrap iron's missiles, and the ones coming wit hthe rattler, I think I'm good with Cobra missiles. I almost kinda with it had the turret from the VAMP like from the Cobra MVS now instead of the blast effects just to change it up a tad.

I think my big disappointment with the Stinger is the attachable bumper plate with foot pegs. It's one of those things that makes alot more sense on the back of the vamp where there's a turret than on a vehicle where they'd be standing behind missiles and it was hinted at that it was meant for you to put on the back of your VAMP. Problem is you actually can't because of the gas can basket on the back of the VAMP and some support pieces on the bumper. You can see on the stinger that these pieces collide with the outline of the basket:

That was a feature I was looking forward too because it would improve the vamp but it doesn't work on the VAMP without removing the basket or cutting up the back bumper.
