I found a pic of him with a bunch of AIM figures he looks pretty good.
So I think I'm OK with getting him. I like that he's "A Giant Robot" (kinda) but also not to giant. There isn't a whole bunch of stuff that is that big but not that big size things tend to soon get to being Sentinel Size or they are only a "bit" bigger than human scale like Hulk Buster is. I can see some Jack Kirby Cosmic stuff working at that scale too. ////// P.s. EDIT : I was just reading that depending on where they got their stock from (Hong Kong I suspect) some stores in some Global locations are getting Leatherneck & the SAW Viper in as soon as next week. Now word yet on if that means Zartan and Dial-Tone or anything else has changed date. But it does make some sense as they original date that was doing the rounds was early January. and things do show up early so ; a "Merry Christmas" I guess for some. ///// P.P.S. EDIT I just got some Steel Corp on sale, I'd put off buying them as they looked rather short & yeah they are a little short - but not drastically so (only 1/16th of an inch shorter than a Cobra Trooper for example). I think the boots being a longer kind would have been all they needed to gain that little extra height back. I am not displeased I waited and I am also pleased to say they are a nice surprise over all, I wasn't expecting that great of things of them.. but in hand I found I really actually kinda like them. The stock on them was VERY limited otherwise i'd have ordered some more. There is some downsides - like the girl one's hands being to small for the larger guns to hold them well. But I can always find her something else that she can hold better (something from Snake Eyes seems likely to fit). I wouldn't mind some more slightly tweaked options.. I can see grey or blue digital came printed trouser looking good on them for example. Maybe with grey helmets instead of green. Something as simple as repainting most of Agent Helix might work for a new female version too. I'm kinda tempted to see about getting one of those marvel sets with lots of heads and see what works.. unless I want to be quirky and try Power Ranger heads. I'm also glad the blue isn't quite as pale as it looks in pictures too. It is still a bit pale but it isn't offensively baby blue like I feared. I can see getting some more if more cheap supplies show up (hopefully). Last edited by RedAlert Rescue; 12-07-2024 at 07:03 PM.. |

They're definitely factoring in cancellations with HasLab counts now. Ecto dropped below 17k.
I hope it keeps going so it'll be easier to sell my extras. lol |

Maybe time to change their payment policy so if someone's payment bounces on a haslab they have 30 days to pay not 5.

I didn’t pick up anything from the pulse sale I already picked up everything I needed before . But it would have been nice if they would have discounted some other things that way I/we don’t have to pay full price for a 3rd or 4th of something like the hiss fire team I have 2 but wouldn’t mind 3-4 more , just not @ the price ..
