Man, why oh why didn't this guy come with a right swimming hand?

I am extremely bummed about that.

Army dudes might be an impulse pick up.

 

[Ru1977]

Yeah, I was telling @DarthDre758 I kinda wanted four or none...

 

[altcunningham]

That's how I was with Retro Vipers and Stormtroopers. I can't fault it.

 

[GrumpyMatt]

I definitely want at least two of the Special Forces set. If they hit some kind of discount will talk about more ...

While not super specific, I saw a video interview with Lenny and B-Mac and B-Mac mentioned that the DIRE Nightcreeper would be part of the March Walmart Collector Con.

Couple things upon reflection:

- I am glad to see they gave a few deco hits to the Manta Ray with Hydro Viper. I was worried it was going to be just a plain black slug type figure.

- I am liking the unmasked face of Overkill. Another great job on the face of a masked figure.

- I am not really liking the helmet for the dinosaur as much anymore. Definitely suffers from the cheapness look of the plain grey. A wash on it would go a long way towards making it look more metallic and less plasticky.

The Action Force guys have been my "only on discount" figures, and I completely rejected the first few rounds of them until I could get them deeply on sale, but that special forces guy I maybe won't wait QUITE as long as the others to pick up. He looks great. Might be recency bias though since I literally just got the HALO guy for like 15 bucks and he's really good.

Psyched about the next wave enough I put in a 15 minute meeting in my work calendar on the 17th to place an order. Airtight is this year's Sci-Fi for me, just someone I'm aggressively impatient for. (And Zanya too but the wait continues.)
