Instead it's like they're moping around doing nothing giving away the entire category.

It’s just baffling. Hasbro seems to have a very specific idea of what they want to do, even if it’s not what consumers want. Hope that works out for them.

I got a few of the Fortnite figures and they're not bad. Just because of their style and colors, they do stand out a little when mixed with Joes. Omega looks the best. The main issue is elbow articulation. Some you can't even get a 90 degree bend, so getting a good pose with a weapon is hard or impossible. You just have to use hand guns with those. They'll just be used as vehicle drivers or background characters in my collection display anyway.
I don't know anything about the characters, but...
Drift - Ninja Master
Carbide - Cobra aquatic vehicle driver
Omega - Cobra assasin
Raptor - Joe AB-115 Shark (True Heroes) pilot
Teknique - Joe hacker
Cuddle Team Leader - Candy, Bongo the BOMB Bear
Brite Bomber - Dreadnok
Ragnarok - Dreadnok
Rex - Joe
Rust Lord - Joe
Bandolier - Joe
Jonesy - Joe
Raven - Cobra
Has anybody tried customizing yet?

When I saw that Cuddle Team Leader figure, I thought of Bongo the Balloon Bear custom. If only she came in brown, then it'd be something I'd tackle.

Two questions to those who have some in-hand:

Are the heads swappable with Joe/MTF in terms on socket size?

And are the heads a good size for Joe/MTF or are they cartoonishly oversized?

Damn went to Walmart and the 4 inch figs were ringing up 19.98. I was like oh hell no!!!

[nighthawk]

Yeah, they are $24.99 in Canada. I was gonna get one for fun and then when I found out the price, I was like...No.

[Itchweed]

I thought they were like 12.88 or somehing. Wow! But they were all cleared out except for about 6 Omegas and 4 Tecknique or whatever.

Omega is $20, the other single carded figures were $13 from what I saw.

The heads are not small, the problem is the ball joint they're connected to is tiny.

It's TINY, and from what I can see, is gouged goes in deep into the head to allow head tilt. It's one of the better designed parts of the figure but it will likely make modifying the heads a massive chore.

Cartoonsh? Depends on the figure.

I was traveling for work today and happened to stop at a Wal-Mart. I picked up the Raptor figure. Not bad. Definitely compatible with Joes. I haven't decided who he'll be yet in my verse.
