    I always used to think Stinkor wore that breathing gear to protect him from his own stink, but now that we know he’s Jay I’m pretty sure he uses it to huff his own fumes. :lol

    Ebay:
    Found Webstor and Stinkor at a local collectibles store. Retail has been so bad with stocking and the prices were about the same as bbts mark up without shipping so I grabbed them.

    Webstor's able to climb about 3/4 the way until you have to manually give him upsies to reach the top.

    Stinkor's scent is weird it's either awkward plastic (different from the usual smell) or cheap dollar store perfume at best. The classics mask and gun can decently fit him, so maybe someone recast those, it's either that or mix and match origins parts.

    I have the Air Attack Peter Pan from Mattel's old Hook toyline, he has more or less the same issue; it's almost as if the string reaches maximum tension and won't go any further without using excessive force, but from what I've seen, in Webstor's case it almost seems like it's a deliberate engineering choice and there's something physically stopping it.

    Also whataver happened to Webstor's second grabbing hand from the preview photos!?

    Watch that be the next running change for a figure in the line.

    I’m hoping someone has a blue Zodac gun for Stinkor like this one French variant. I think the S7 Reaction homaged it on their release.

    I got a notice my Teela from Amazon arrived. Got to get it and the box is about the size I’ve gotten Switch games delivered in before. The card was bent over to make it fit of course but she has the fixed knees!!!! This is actually the first female I’ve gotten with the new knees.

    All that was left was to strip the paint off the top of the boots. This is an almost perfect update to my top two franchises.

    Finally bought myself one of the Rise of Evil packs, just for the first thing I find when I open it is for the havok staff to have came snapped in half. Well, hello spending time at the returns area at my local Target :rolleyes:

    I did the exchange, new staff seems good, but my Keldor has a weak right knee and has a lot of trouble just standing up on his own, so considering a second exchange. Wow, I'm beginning to question how good the QC is on this line lol

    If you're gonna go that route, you're gonna have to strip the paint off the arms, too!
