Movie Storm Shadow came in today. It’s like in the photos, a light creamy grey/beige. Comes with two swords but only has two trigger hands. Not as poseable as I’d like for a ninja. needs some other colors for contrast, the OG SS had that red Cobra logo and black bandolier This figure just seems kinda…..cheap. I’ve got both classified Storm Shadows and so far I’m not impressed with either, here’s hoping the one coming out on the mainline is better.
6 of the 10 Origins Snake Eyes came in. Opened one to mess around with for the time being. Tested a Storm Shadow head because maaaaybe I can make a mold and cast more to build an army. Tried some Power Ranger civilian heads, but they were a bit loose. They'd come off as PRs to me so I wouldn't use them anyways. The sheath and strap are a bit annoying. They don't want to stay pegged in when articulating the figure around. Other than that, I like the figure. Definitely not picking up SS, but kinda on the fence with Baroness and Scarlett.
@NSJ23 @Arishikage @peddlerofwine you guys are on the sheet as still needing a Viper, is that accurate? I got in 2. Was thinking of using one to make a custom of mercer version 2 but if people still have need I would rather they get at least 1 than me use it for a custom figure.
Robot kingdom has BBQ instock! Cheapest shipping is ~$20 so I passed, but hopefully this means he is on his way. Edit-Yeah I bought him. I had some extra $ in my PayPal. I am a man child…….
BBQ has the Destro torso. Anybody with both an Arcade and a Destro should have the answer. I don’t have an Arcade.
thanks for that! I've got a Destro I can try it on later today since I got an Arcade in the hopes it would work (unless someone else can offer up their thoughts doing this before I get off work)
Got to keep in mind we don’t know the thickness of BBQ’s chest overlay. I mean even if the Arcade head fits the ball joint on Destro, it may still look weird on BBQ, giving him no neck or too long of a neck.
This pic kinda makes me sad, in that I knew BBQ was on the destro buck, but it never quite dawned on me that he'd be that big. He's substantially taller/larger than Flint, while BBQ was always portrayed in the toon and comic as a relatively slight fellow. He was never a big beefy guy like Roadblock. This new figure looks like Bane and Windcharger had a baby...
