Operation Monster Force

[docsilence]

I went in on the army builders, and The Eraser. I figured if nothing else, I can mix them in my Joe display somewhere.

I'm treating these legit as the horror unit for my Classified. They're just going to live together, no doubt in my mind. I got Eraser PRECISELY to be some weird science invisible agent for them.

Just hit ship on my pile of loot. Got a Blackwatch Agent and the Atlas figure (I had the original one from Maven and want to see how these have been tweaked). I'm trying real hard not to dive all in to this line, but some of the troops and the General really speak to me for bystander purposes. Plus the universal headswaps mean that I can make any of these really fun unique characters if I want. How about a General Shadow creature!?

I'm eyeballing the newly in-stock figures now. I've been waffling on whether I need a brain in a jar guy, but now I'm wondering if I need Delta Red Nightshade instead. I feel like the former looks cooler on the shelf, but the latter will be more fun in hand. I do not want to get more than one right now. At 40 USD each, these are NOT cheap in Canadian buckeroos.
Maybe just get neither, like a smart and responsible toy collector.

Same here. Have a bunch in my cart, but thinking I'll be responsible. The macro-economic future feels so grim.

How does the $8 shipping with BBTS work now that post is on strike. Were they using a different carrier?

I already have a POL that needs to be shipped soon, so I was actually planning on asking them about that.

 

[DarthDre758]

As far as I know (in the states at least) they use FedEx.

Dr Brain N Jar hit by pile of loot. I may get one sleepwalker and aerial guy to be his henchmen.

Donner, Eraser and another one or two for a Creature Commandoes team are potentials. But there’s so much hitting right now. May just hold off on those.

We work with trusted shipping partners to provide reliable service throughout Canada. The exact carrier may vary depending on order size, weight, and destination.

It's just so vague. And because of the post strike, they are now picketing Purolator, which has delayed some of my Purolator s*** by a week and counting. I have to imagine they're just not using Post at all at this moment. But maybe Americans don't even know.

 

[DarthDre758]

Damn. That is almost purposely vague.

I did email them for clarification yesterday, so we'll see what they say, if anything of substance.
I also made it clear that most of the big carriers are a problem for Canadian shipping because, for some reason, we get hit with astronomical 'brokerage fees.' Curious if they address that at all.

 

[Boy Wonder]

General hit the POL yesterday (which currently consists of only him)

I'm waffling on Donner Party. I really just want the head for a custom and while I'm sure I could do something cool with the body, I'm not sure if it'd be $40 cool.

Would anyone here be interested in all the Donner Party parts minus the head/neck? Shoot me a DM

That guy who is TOTALLY NOT Cobra Commander looks decent.

 

[Fletch]

Hrm. That gives me a unique idea that I doubt anybody has thought of yet.

The O:MF heads are pretty universal, so I figured how one head fits on Cobra Commander is how the hood will fit.

I only have the Wave 1 CC, but here the ball peg on the Commander is a little smaller than the MF one, so the head fits on it a little loosely and a little high up. That might not be an issue with a drape-y hood, though.

These production photos actually make the blue look a little darker than the solicit renders. Still doubt it's dark enough for my version of the Commander.

Still, I do have a Crimson Moon cultist ordered, and he comes with multiple hooded heads. I figure if it really works, I can just paint one of those to match my shade of blue. (And not have to buy a whole figure just because I want the head.)
