| Post subject: | True Heroes line expands |
I haven't seen anybody mention it, but TRU's True Heroes line has gotten a fairly substantial expansion. Just went by tonight and saw several new sublines. Don't get too excited though because they're still Chap-Mei esque and their paintjobs were total garbage. First, the military line has a bunch of new figures. All new sculpts from what I could tell, plus each character has a unique codename and sculpt. I didn't see all of them, but they are being sold in 2-packs with jungle/woodland colors and in 2 larger multipacks which had a few more characters, including a guy in an EOD bomb suit. Didn't notice if there were new vehicles for this line. Second, there's a fantasy line. I only saw the figures in multipacks and in large boxed sets. There were two multipacks: The good guys, who were elves, and the bad guys who were actually rather large orcs. The boxed sets had two figures, two mounts, and some scenery. The elves came with griffons and the orcs came with some very big, very cool looking two headed wolves. These were probably some of the nicest looking pieces in the entire line with pretty good paintjobs. The wolves were significantly larger than Fimbul's Warg, though significantly less poseable. Third, ninjas. These guys had the worse sculpts out of all of them, looking like dollar store knock offs. I only saw a multipack of figures and two boxed vehicle sets. One had a funky looking sports car which actually looked well painted and the other had a motorcycle. I found the motorcycle amusing though because they sculpted the handle bars with weighted chains hanging off of them. Again, paintjobs were pretty bleh for everything except the vehicles and beasts. The sculpts ranged from decent (the orcs) to horrible (the ninjas). But hey, new stuff is new stuff. |

I did see pirate stuff, but as I generally have no interest in the pirate stuff, I couldn't actually tell you if any of it was new or not. They still had the western sets as well. |

I saw the pirate set a few weeks ago. There's a red coat soldier which is kind of cool, but it looks it might be a bootleg of POTC Norrington figure. --and saw the Fantasy sets today. Two sets; one with Orcs and one with elves. Paint jobs are a little shoddy, but the Orcs are really great sculpts with the standard 5 p.o.a. The elves are okay. Only saw one of the bigger sets. It included a dragon, a catapult and a castle-y keep. The back of the package shows a griffin set that looks cool. |

I'm really wanting a few of those new head sculpts, and to maybe work a couple of the figure designs into my Joe verse. |

I still need to get that big ass C-130 aircraft, the equivalent of buying 4 GI JOE figures. |
