Just got a suprise on my doorstep from the fanclub today...



So, if you pre-ordered, look for them soon! Also, I think Diamond is shipping these out to comic shops this week...

_________________

Good to know, hopefully bbts will get their shipment in soon too, I'm tired of waiting to get my case of Wave 10 and the Extreme Conditions packs. The Comic Packs are all I've been waiting on before I ship my pile of loot.

Woohooo great news! I'll be one-step closer to fleshing out my Cobra hierarchy of named-cobra characters in the sweet form of Scrap Iron baby! Plus I'm in the very small minority that's actually looking forward to the cartoon-accurate Wild Bill as my defacto Wild Bill!

How's Dataframe look?

Awesome. The pegs are still full of the first seven comic packs though. Rarely seen the IG or the FF/SS waves. Gladly, I'm on the fence about these and would only buy them if I see them in person. Luckily, I don't have to worry about that. Hahaha. I do, however, like the diorama piece that comes with the ninja pack.

Finally! Another Wild Bill version to add to my Wild Bill room! I can't decide which helicopter to put him in. There's only so few, but so many wild bill's to choose from!!

/sarcasm.

Even knowing that's not lifeline in that pack, it still looks like it should be from a distance. I bet these will show up at retailers ahead of wave 10, knowing my luck.

they're at retail too...someone found them at WM a week or 2 ago.

Wild Bill: Glad to have a version with the cartoon colors. Comes with a flight helmet as well as his cowboy hat.
Scrap Iron: is, of course, WAY COOL... but the impact is lessened by having the Extreme Conditions version for a couple weeks now.
The comic is pretty entertaining... all the dialog is 'squawk' over eveyone's mics.

Mainframe: I REFUSE TO CALL HIM DATAFRAME... very nice, altho his face looks a little malformed (it's a sculpted-on helmet). Again, his mobile computer would be more amazing if it didn't already come with the Extreme Conditions set. He also comes with cardboard floppy disks to cut out (you can see them in the bubble in the pic I posted).
Beachhead: The absolute BEST figure of the bunch. I love the new sculpted mask head, plus now we get a whole-new bare-head (who new BH has a moustach and soul patch?) with a face scarf ala Major Bludd.
The comic is also pretty good, also featuring Zarana and the Baroness (meow, kitty kityy).

I haven't opened the SE/Hard Master set yet.

And as always, I'll ask -- anybody who bought these sets for the figures and who couldn't really care less about the comics, I'll be more than happy to give the comics a good home here with me (I could use some fresh reading material anyway)...

I just got my Major Bludd in the mail and I'm holding him in my hand as I'm looking at the photo of the comic packs and I say to myself "Hey, that looks just like Major Bludd's mask, I wonder if it comes off Beach Head too" haha I'm very glad to hear it does. Could you maybe take a picture of him without it? That would be super keen! Thanks!

_________________

yes, PLEASE get a picture of Beach-head completely unmasked!

Pleeeease?

And even tho you didn't ask for a Wild Bill shot....

love it! Thanks for the extra Wild Bill shot - that seals the deal, this is THE Wild Bill for me - cartoon accurate! (awesome chopper by the way)

I have to ask, does Wild Bill fit in the Apache? I know the new sculpt and ARAH versions do but I haven't gotten around to trying his 25th version.

thank you, Megs, I had no idea BH had totally unmasked option before this.
