Count me in if you're able to, that troop builder is insane!

The figures have been out for a while now and overall I’m happy with them. The accessories are awesome. The paint apps look great. The only figure I have a problem with is the Kiloworg. It looks great but I’m having trouble getting it to stand, I get a pose. It looks great. Then within 30 minutes in falls over. Try a different pose and it falls. Is anyone else having problems?

I don't own it, but I've seen lots of QC issues with it in Facebook groups, from what you cited to breakage.

My two are standing, but I think the non-deluxe one may be leaning against the back glass.

I think the mini-cannon actually helped balance the deluxe one.

Cross-posted from my Geek Creek G.I. Joe Classified thread:

Here's NECA's Amphibian Man from Guillermo del Toro's The Shape of Water, to which I added a pair of Mezco One:12 Punisher pants and a Classified Gung-Ho vest (which I bought loose from eBay because I wasn't collecting Joes at the time, funnily enough), so's I could use him as Abe Sapien of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense:

I captured that portrait a year or two back, at my daughter's former college. I share them here to segue into the following kitbash, which is Abe Sapien during Victorian times:

He's part of a team of Victorian-era Monster Force weirdos I'm putting together. Here are his teammates, Doctor Occular, Professor Carrion, and Gilded Goddess:

And here they are with my lone actual Monster Force figure, the Crimson Sleepwalker (I'm tentatively planning to have him be Professor Carrion in modern times):

And my modern Monster Force crew, featuring Gung-Ho, Red Hulk, Abe Sapien, and... Sqweeks the Transformer? Why not?

Exponential: of an increase becoming more and more rapid

Not sure how a marginal increase is "becoming more and more rapid." Especially when BBTS warned, well ahead of time, that prices would go up for those who didn't jump on early preorders.

Did you mean "incremental" and got autocorrected? Or is this just more hyperbole?

Hyperbole!!!

And a lot of sticker shock from BBts recently.

Glad I pre-ordered immediately. Now I don't have to worry about the price increases until Season 4.
