Figures are 2 for 10.99 coming this next week at TRU. Not bad if you missed any of the new ones that are shipping there now. I ended up buying a bunch so I could just return and trade them for the newer waves which I ended up doing this week.
Got my McCullen/Destro yesterday, here are a few pics, also starring my modified Cobra Commander...
LUCKY!
That Destro looks 100 times better than
the mass market one. I asked for one for
my B-day (along with a 12" Baroness), so
hopefully, I'll add one to my 'Joe movie
figures soon, too.
The tubes look great on Cobra Commander.
Have you guys noticed that the latest
waves of CC have the holes filled in?
I haven't gotten one, so I can't verify if the
hole on the back of his head is plugged
up as well.
Now that you mention it, I do see where there used to be holes in the back of the head, and that makes me think about ditching the backpack, redrilling those head holes, and running the tubes there. I think I'm going to repaint my corrected CC. (the head holes must have been filled at retail the whole time, wonder why they left the chest ones open?)
Hey, Driz!
You mean your Cobra Commander has filled in
holes on the back of his head? Mine still has
the holes (photo below), so apparently,
there's a couple different versions of CC
out there. When I first found CC, I was
happy and sad at the same time, because
I thought I found a package variant where
they forgot to add the tubes and kept looking
for the tubes version to no avail.
After watching the movie, my friend said,
"At least now you know why the figure didn't
have those tubes you were talking about:
he doesn't have them in the movie."
Pursuit of Cobra>Rise of Cobra
The Jungle Viper is the coolest looking figure Hasbro has shown in several years PERIOD.
The line also contains some great repaints of 25th Anni figures. The Pit Commando, Para Viper and Night Creeper are pure win... I just wish it were going to be easier to get that grey/black Alley Viper that comes with the RAGE.
I finally found Rex, took me forever. Also found a new assortment of 12 inchers, the Destro's chromed head is actually a very good sculpt! Reworking it for a Truetype now.
