Lol funny you mention that. Though this is Star Wars related. Today I was at Target and got excited because I saw a new drinking glass gift set. I have one already that has Luke Han Leia and Vader glasses. When I picked this one up I sat it back down as the glasses were Phasma (I’d take that one) Rey (understandable) old LEIA and then Rose. I was like wth I don’t want an all girl Star Wars glass set. Why old Leia and rose where was old like or pow or Finn or just even bb8?

Leia should be reusable ice cubes so she can just float there in the coldness of your drink.

Saw them at Walmart in Canada today. $25 each so I passed.

I bought a few. Might take them all back. The best idea I can come up with to work them into my collection is they are cosplay paintballers. FYI, and it may have been mentioned, there are 6 different Loot Chests and they are not blind packed. If you get the piñata set, it has a lot of gear for the 4 pack. And the playset is insane! Tons of building material.

Between Walmart, Target, and Amazon I've managed to snag one of each figure. I passed on the loot boxes as I don't really need extra weapons. Looking forward to opening these up this weekend and checking them out.

I think they fit in well as civilians. Omega is just a suit of MARS armor. Might even swap heads and make him an armored Destro. I think Technique will be Firewall. The Pink bear might end up being a re-imaging of Candy - Ripcords old girlfriend who dressed up as a bear. I have lots of ideas for them.

Carbide will be used as a pilot of an Helicopter I have lined up for Police usage.

Omega still deciding, can also be a pilot or something else. I may end up removing those black fins in the back. Seems they are glued or something because Carbide uses the same mold and doesn't have them.

That's what I'm planning for now and these are mostly the ones I have some use for.

Wish they made the astronaut character.

No lie there brother. Can't upset people with weapons or action oriented action figures.

[hardcorps]

Jay, awesome point about Candy the Balloon Bear.
I think these figures are too cartoonish for me. I like their concepts, but not the oversize stylized looking proportions. Maybe if I see them in person they will look better. I am however, intrigued by the 81 piece building set, just not at 40 bucks. Maybe I can catch it on a discount somehow.

Not gonna lie, picked up two Fortnite 4inch Jazwares figures, and these are pretty awful.

They look nice, and come in pretty much theft and tamper proof clam shells, but I was right, the movement on their joints is AWFUL beyond belief.

Manipulating their arms to hold things is a chore beyond belief. I'm pretty sure now, they cut corners on joint design. Was manipulating a Texnique solo play figure btw. Her hood falls off, it's a complete separate piece. Notice in the promo pictures, NONE of these figures is holding their guns except one, and he's barely holding it hip style. They're all mostly holding pickaxes only.

I also bought a Raptor solo play figure, and let me tell you, don't buy the Raptor figure, his pecs are so massive that the arms are ludicrously useless on him. The little things matter, these don't have it. Some figures just barely are acceptable, others are useless like Raptor.
