Got the Trouble Bubbles! Awesome set. I love the Tele-Viper figure—Hasbro really improved what used to feel like a plain design to me. I love the new visored head design.
I got them to balance on the Hasbro stands.
I think the knife is supposed to go in snowjob's neck or torso.
Wow, harsh. What'd he ever do to you?
Prophet, I noticed the same thing on my pod, the canopy won't peg in on the right side. I really had to force it. Also, my missile mounts are in the correct sides with the corresponding sculpt (the wrong side according to the R and L), but they're just really loose. Much looser than the friction that holds the missiles onto the mounts. So I can tip my pod over, and the missile will fall out with the mount still attached.
Im not into BATS but got the idea of customizing it to a Sports theme robot. after my 'forced' break (jobless) from figures will buy one.
I received my Trubble Bubbles last week.
I have shipping soon notices for Snow Job and finally Dr. Mindbender.
I was thinking Dr. Mindbender would wind up being canceled with all the delays.
I got my shipping notice for Mindbender too.
I must have underappreciated the Trubble Bubble as a kid. I guess the 3.75 version was overshadowed by other vehicles because I wasn't overly excited about a 6" release. Yes, it made sense due to size and it has a wacky design, but it was still the Trubble Bubble, I thought. Definitely happy to have this in hand and I like the Tele-Viper more than I expected too. Although I can't get his boots to swivel after a quick attempt with heat
It bums me out when I see folks post pics of multiple Eels. I just want one! Really hoping it goes back in stock. Missed on both Pulse and Amazon.
Trubble Bubble was one of the vehicles I had growing up. It was ok, mine had a tendency to fall apart. But I do remember the original having those pivoting stabilizer panels under the engines. I remember the mine being much bigger in proportion to the Pod itself, and bigger than the one we just got with Classified! I remember associating it with the Televiper also, for whatever reason. Was he on the package or something?
This will be the only Televiper I own, though that alternate visor look has me considering a second one. Really gotta stick to singular troop builders these days, treating them as individual characters.
Never had the trouble bubble as a kid so cracking the box on mine yesterday was really fun. It's funny, I almost NEVER use flight stands but this is the one time I'd have loved one included.
Anyone know how interchangeable the Joes heads are? I actually like the fully-masked Televiper head enough I could see popping it onto a generic trooper as a kind of specialist look.
Snow Job has been charged and I thiiiiink has shipped from Pulse. One of my favorite characters as a kid, can't wait to get him in hand.
I'm traveling the day of PulseCon - really really hoping I can time it right to grab the three pack. It's one of those perfect con exclusives - it's not a game breaker if I can't get one, just WANT one, but I'll be bummed if I can't get that variation on the Baroness specifically. (The twins would be fun but they're characters I am super happy just to have their classic looks, and anything else is bonus, though I really wouldn't mind them in their sleazy corporate suit look some day.)
I'm typically not a big fan of the Crimson stuff. The Crimson Guard is an all-time great design, but crimson versions of other figures aren't that interesting to me. They're understandable variants, so I don't mind their existence. Just not super compelling to me. That said, I do like the Crimson Baroness. I don't really need crimson versions of the twins though. I imagine this Baroness, which now has double elbows, will be released in the black colors eventually. I hope they release her in blue as well at some point.
Crimson Twins + Baroness set is neat but after dealing with QC issues with 2 Twins in a row, I'm not in a hurry to buy a multipack with them. I'd buy Baroness by herself, or with red Valkyries, but this is a pass. I'm digging the red metal chestpiece, reminds me of the Rise of Cobra Crimson Neo-Viper. The new heads aren't bad, I think I prefer the OG Baroness face, but the masked head is very neat, and the alternate hairstyles are a cool touch. Love the gold double Uzis.
What's your guess on price for this set? I could see it being $80 but with the "deluxe" packaging I'm going to be guessing $89.99.

Good luck.
I'm in on the Crimson Strike team. But if I can't get it I'm not going to loose any sleepover it. I agree with you Vicious I think I prefer the original baroness head. The gold on the other hand I'm not feeling. I get why they did it the original Oring versions had it. But I'm almost ready to pick up another set of the twins to replace the weapons and shoulder pads

Good luck.
Bah... missed it. It shows active at that price but when I add to cart it says "this item now Sold Out".
Would have bought a handful at that price.
Pretty happy with the Gundam Universe beam saber for a laser effect. And the Fortnite glider stand is perfect for these, even if it's only just sitting on top of it
