    I really want this... but I've got a love/hate relationship with guzzle at the moment thanks to GCI.

    That makes it difficult to pull the trigger on this given I've got to pay extra for another figure I don't want.

    Ripped-off on one version and ripped-off on the other.

    Wait why is it GCI’s fault?

    GCI's gone out of business owing a lot of people money. I had their Gulper figure (their version of Guzzle) pre-ordered since Jan 2016. I'm out about $50-60, and very, very unlikely to get that back, but there are others owed 1000's.

    Anyway, personally, to own Guzzle now, I'll have spent a total of around $170... for a small figure.

    Didn't GCI just re-open under new ownership (or so they claim)? I could've sworn I saw something about that.

    They've given up. William lied about much more than they thought, and they can't fix the mess. They've done what they can, but that's it.

    Ouch... Thanks for the links. Might take a look later. A rather sad state of affairs, to be sure...

    Huh.

    Anyone want to go halfsies on one of these sets? I need that Guzzle but have no interest whatsoever in the other guy.

    Am I the only one who doesn't mind the Brawl figure?

    Wouldn't have mind if they had come separeted so I could spread the purchase.

    Good luck. Everyone wants Guzzle and about three people want Brawn. :lol 
    I was going to ask a friend if he wanted to split them too but take a wild guess as to which one he'd prefer. So I'd have to buy them and just give Brawn away. At that point, I may as well keep him. Oh well. Guess I'll be Guzzle-less.
    Some of us "don't mind" Brawn, but even amongst those of us who are okay with him, most aren't really keen to buy them together and would still prefer to buy them separately (myself included).

    I don't think those Jumpstarters have been popular since the Headmaster ones came out, because I was never able to get rid of mine once the official ones were released.

    Maybe I'll have better luck selling them now that the official ones have been out awhile. :lol

    So I'm taking the Ebrius two-pack off my wish list. We should start a poll for this.

    I think they’re nice but I just don’t see them fitting in with MMC Reformated stuff.

    Be cooler if it extended Brawn right out of the package they share.
