You may recall our first report of these figures back in early October, today the Loyal Subjects Facebook page provided much better images of wave 3 of the vinyl figurines. Wave 3 will include such characters as Scrapper, Wheeljack, Swoop, and Laserbeak, among many more. Wave 3 is estimated to be released at the end of December.
Make the jump to see all of Loyal Subjects offerings!

What happened to Lazerbeak? Is he not in the cases, or is he packed with Buzzsaw?

I really wish they saved the chases for unique paint jobs and not characters. I will forever have a Skywarp shaped hole because I can't justify spending $80 +.

Um… that doesn't add up…

Great question! I figured it would pop up closer to the Midnight Thursday sale, but it would be nice to have it up sooner…

Wonder if there will be a talking megatron as a chase figure for this wave or a ghost starscream like I hoped skywarp was in the last wave

Where can you find the pre-order for wave 3?

It's kind of weird seeing Wheeljack without any visible eyes.
Soundwinder
Cute.
Cheebs
They got Wheeljack's face wrong, Swoop's color wrong, and Frumbles' names wrong. Pass.
Swoop Dogg
No Astrotrain? Maybe next time? Please?!

With the 50% off for purchases over $400 you can get 2 of the 16 pack cases for $104 each. So $6.50 per figure. Not horrible. Could probably unload one of the cases on eBay and recoup at least what you paid for it. Thinking I may go this route. Or get a second series 2 box. Figured they would have had a second series for GI Joe by now…
Guess part of this depends on how bad TLS gigs me on shipping. They are typically bad with the cost of their shipping. Almost always worth it to wait until they hit BBTS if you do POL, but those steep % discounts definitely outweigh that here.

Wheeljack and Swoop are must haves.
Scypris
So Wheeljacks ears light up? All the more reason to hunt it down.
Hoffman
Stores like BBTS and TFSource will open and sell them individually.

Are Laserbeak and Buzzsaw a 2-pack? They're so small…
I like blue Swoop, but I'd take red Swoop with the toy's face over blue Swoop with the animation face.
Yeah. At this price, I don't really want to roll the dice. I'd honestly buy… probably half this wave (definitely Swoop, Bonecrusher, and all the Cassettes), but since I don't want to risk doubling up I'm probably not going to buy more than one.

look pretty nice.
wish they would stop with the blind packs though at $13 a toy. I'd still buy them even if they removed all the chase figures (which are usually goofy colors anyway).

i wish swoop was blue.
Timothy.R
i've always prefered blue animation swoop over red toy swoop.. i think the blue just looks a whole lot better. bummer this is red.
also.. how many different types of figures are there like this?.. little weird looking, mostly unarticulated caricature figures.. it just seems like there are so many of them out these days.
