    Halo heroes carter is up for 17$ on Amazon, not bad all things considered. I’m glad I managed to snatch one for 7$ the other day

    Did you know there was an Aliens novel/comic that had a guy training xenos to fight a xeno infestation on Earth? And while we never see it he apparently trained them to stand in formation and use rifles. His "method" for training them was taming a Queen by threatening her eggs. It went about as well as you would expect, and once they arrive on Earth the xenos turn on him. Anywho, its a flimsy excuse to take this pic:

    Such a great sculpt. There are a number of army builder sculpts in the MC line i have to force myself from collecting. I've already got 1 mercenary squad using SEAL Team bodies.

    As someone who appreciates a unique knock off as much as the next toy fan this s annoying . For the love of God at least use parts that make sense. I actually *want* KO Mega Superheroes and other themes i know Mega can't or won't produce. But baggy clothes Iron Man lol? Bullet proof vest War Machine lol? Still...i'd rather they exist than not exist.

    Maybe i'll feel differently when i see non promotional images.

    Heh, those rank right up there with the Spiderman versions. It's not like they couldn't ko some Halo parts for armor. Hell, ko the legs from the Official mega blocks Iron Man and it would help

    I can explain why Spiderman ...a Spiderman ...has baggy clothes. He could be from another dimension or simply have hit a patch of bad luck financially. I can live with combat boot wearing Spiderman as well. In fact it has a certain level of KO charm. The mega man style blaster is interesting as well.

    Baggy clothes iron man on the other hand....that's a pure dollar store product lol.

    I wonder where the iron man head is from (and if it's over sized)?

    Well, I ordered a whole bunch of these Chinese exclusives. If nothing else, maybe I'll have a head for Beachhead finally.

    I suspect most of us here are all on the same "boards" so you know this already but for those that aren't:

    some of the Mega KO sets come with different heads than what is advertised on your e-commerce site of choice. While usually that's a negative (you want what you paid for exactly as advertised) some of the discrepancies are actually better than what is shown.

    Bring on the "variants".

    Some of the ko figures have very rubbery legs and can be hard to post at times. They usually come with a few extra parts but a few had two right or left thighs which made things a tad weird. All in all it's great custom fodder for us customizers

    It is unfortunate that we could've been that close to getting better Marvel Minifigures.

    Whoa.

    Posted on FB by Stephen Groves (good work sir). *Has not been confirmed as an authentic image of official Mattel product yet*

    Another great example of something i absolutely do not need but can't resist because of a miniature green monster man.

    It always was one of the most useless things to come from the MOTU line. There are other more important things for me. Also to much figure rehatch. I don't need 5 teela's and 7 fakers
