Looks like the H.M.S. is shipping. I think it will end up looking much better towed by the eventual Stinger than it will on the HISS tank, but I guess it is something to look forward to.
I loved the mad/slaughter's marauders Barbeque (original and classified). About time he got some classified buddies, but I am not sure they leaned hard enough into it based on those images. Needs more green and way more blue. Spirit and lowlight could pass as night force themed save for...
So nice to have them all* together. Now just to get a decent group shot in a cool display.
Call me crazy, but for some reason this crew is what had me most excited about the entire line.
*(I don't count that ninja. I don't think she really even looks "python patrol" and she doesn't have...
That makes sense. Didn't it ship back in January though? Why wait 9 months?
In other news.... They are GLORIOUS! Can't wait to finish the Python Patrol

Hey I just saw the HasLab Skystriker is being re-released as a BBTS exclusive. Ya'll reckon that means the HasLab Hiss may find a similar fate in 6 months ?
Snagged 2 bubbles. Was disappointed to see the PPCG was sold out yesterday around 2pm, but luckily they are back open for pre-order this morning as of 8am, so grabbed 2 of those as well.
Frost, Drake and Gorman had the field caps (either OG507 or OG106, impossible to say which as they are cut identical, but are made with different material).
On the Sulaco Apone, Hudson and Ski all had generic Black snap back trucker hats with the Sulaco patch. Apone modified his a bit to have...
I cant help but feel like they half-hearted the commandos (they could have gotten minimum 6 unique figures from the one tooling design, so why not bulk them up and be more accurate?! heck, charge a few extra bucks for the additional mass) but I whole heartedly agree this is a cool lineup.
Considering the correctly haired/improved Henrietta and name stickers come in an entirely different box there really isn't an excuse to hold up the delivery. It isn't like they are actually swapping anything or even opening any boxes. Mine came through sideshow and the two boxes arrived...
Got my 501st trooper in yesterday. If anyone was holding out hope that it might come on the new body (despite promo images with old), you may now give up on that hope. 100% old body, and nearly indistinguishable from the EE set figure. (EE figure on left, brand new figure on right).
And...
I'm still practicing skin tones myself so don't take this as gospel, but in my opinion you will NOT want to put too much effort or too much color on it. The last thing you want is for the nipples to be pronounced and draw the eye to them. Get some tan or super crazy light brown that is just a...
