    I wondered the same thing. Figured maybe black was the new incarnation or something. I havent read a new comic in.....well, a while. When I was reading comics though I always remembered rhe hand in red. That's why the red ones we got in the apiderverse wave fit the need I had for hand ninjas already.

    Got Movie Storm Shadow in today from Amazon, I tried to cancel it but it was part of a larger order with free shipping so I wasn’t able to. It’s a decent enough place holder I guess, certainly more to my liking than the Arctic Mission SS.

    Went looking for a few more Snake Eyes at GameStop today but only found Baroness at each. Figured she’d be harder to find than SE’s because of the case ratio but I guess not.

    Are these weapons worth $60? I have three sets of the valve re crimson weapons pack and those were $35 each.

    I've been ordering 2 at a time and so far I've been happy with them. Don't think I would drop $60 for the set, they're a fairly new company so I'm waiting to see if their prices drop. I'm not familiar with the ones you mentioned, do you have a link to them?

    And another small order come in today:

    These are 3 d printed right? Are they durable? I’ve had all of the ones I bought off various Etsy sellers break on me by either dropping off a table or putting them in hands. Also, what’s the shipping on these? I didn’t want to enter all my personal info just to get to the shipping cost. Thanks.

    yeah he means the valaverse prototype set which are long out of stock...but the regular sets are pushed back until october or november now...due to shipping container issues in asia...its like 4x the price to procure one now and companies like amazon walmart kroger target are all outbidding the smaller guys who can't afford 24k for shipping containers vs the 8k normal price.

    I initially ordered one just to check out the quality and they're actually very sturdy. Right now I'm 4 orders in and waiting on some of their newer items to become available. Shipping was $4.95

    Yes, valaverse actually release a set of weapons, with 6 or different rifles, a bunch of hand guns, and a bunch of axes and knives for $35, but you could only buy three sets max.

    I just ordered some modular guns from Marauder. Their guns are well made but the 6" scale is limited.

    Happy to help! I think it will be a lot of fun, especially once I have the RAM. I do hope Hasbro repaints the Coil in black so I can pair one with Snake Eyes.

    Just got the same notice for my Roadblock. Nice to have him a bit early though. Annoying to get an unexpected charge but I've got plenty set aside for this month's expected preorder arrivals so it's not a big deal.
