@unclassified they can do an adjustment 

 

I didn’t know about the coupon until a day after, but went in yesterday and they were super helpful. Even considering the fact that I had to go grab something else from toys since I was 3 cents short of $75 with just the retro figures. 

I had the same issue with 3 cent. I believe I replied to this already, so I'm sorry if I did. I got those 3. Went back to targets to find what I want and return them. And nada. Finally Friday I went to a target seen a girl in toys and was like I got a receipt that has a code. I need you to get me one of each of the case. She came back and I was like sweet.

Went to go pay and that's when all the pressure started to hit. People behind me waiting to use the register and the damn register is giving g me 5 off.  I was like I need help. Get help she asked another to help. Get help. He's like dude you need to spend 3 cent . I was like ok bet. Grabbed gum. Hahaha nope, didn't work. I was like damn. Just walked across this store to get gum from the food section for no reason. Now back to the toy aisles. Seen clearance crap and was like wow mj for 7.49. Been waiting to get this cheap for the parts. Then seen some wrestler girl for 5.99. They didn't qualify. So grabbed a hot wheels. The assortment sucked.

Seen a charger and was like ok kind of cool. It said from a movie so on my way to the register I'm googling ice charger. Fast and the furious came up. I was like wtf. I don't want this crap. So now my plan after that was go buy another hot wheels at another target when I go look for metal head and use my 5 dollars off coupon. But nothing ws out Friday night and I didn't end up going out yesterday. So now I have to buy a hot wheels and return the other with that receipt and pay full price for metal head when I see him.

Guys, when you get your scarlett for those who haven't yet. Press the shoulders down as you raise em. Just like hawk. I lifted the arm like normal and got a stress mark, just like I did with my hawk. So now I have to hunt down a new hawk and scarlett one day. 

I just don't want you guys to ruin your crap like me. I'm not used to this new shoulder nonsense.  

Duke is the best of the wave. 

Scarlett real dope. Not a fan of the belt plugged in. No holster for hand gun, backpack gets in the way even with the one hair piece . She's better off just basic like the vintage. Give her her crossbow and call it a day. 

Recondo is recondo,, so not much to say. It's the same thing over. 

I heard about this wonder con on YouTube yesterday but didn't dig in. To many cons to keep up with so figured it was some independent one out in Cali. Had no idea hasbro was there. So now I'll go dig.. I had no time when I was on YouTube, yesterday I was to deep into boxing and was on there just for info on that.

Deep discount has a code for 15% off. You can get quick kick for 22.49 shipped. Buuut... it is on backorder and ships may 6th. Didn't see this til afterwards, not sure if I want to just keep it or cancel it. Guess I'll keep it. I'm in no hurry to get them. I have yet to build a diorama for any of my display shelves.

Ferret looks good. I still don’t understand to side mounted missiles with two heads. I can’t tell but do they have some extendable connection points or they are in permanent extended state? I love how the gun/cannon on pack can pivot and looks to be removable. Is that a winch like the VAMP has on front or is it just decorative detail? Hope the tires are semi-pneumatic and the unit has suspension simulated with the connection point to the tires being spring loaded. The female driver looks great and is a tease for the grey officer that will come with Stinger.

Ferret looks like a great piece. Probably $49.99. Looks to be about as much plastic as Trubble Bubble.

Thwipp!

Anything that you can't explain the answer is always "because that is how it was on the original".

Metal-Head is an absolutely ridiculous figure and I LOVE it!

SO much fun. And to think I almost passed on him.

Had a good amount of Discover points, so only paid about $10.

The Classified Series really is putting out some of the best action figures across the board.

@unclassified Thanks for the head's up about Scarlett's shoulders - by pressing down you mean push into the connection as you raise the arms? I'm trying to make this my "forever Scarlett" cos I've had trouble with the joints on the first two. (Between Scarlett and Lady Jaye I've bought six figures so far and all of them have stress-marked joints, it's driving me nuts, don't want that to happen with the new one.)

@yojoebro82 That is a great little addition for the MA Deuce I didn't see mentioned elsewhere.

Not that everybody needs to watch his reviews, but d_amazing DID mention it and show it off in his video on the figure.

I don't need it, but I am tempted to grab 2 if I ever saw them in store.

yes you press downward and then you raise it.  It like puts it in place. It's weird and i don't like it.

@unclassified Glad to hear it is a good copy with no looseness.  I'm pretty sure I'm going to cave and get one soon just to fill the hole in my box numbering.  Then when the Retro one gets released I'll use that one for my figure display.

Picked up Retro Duke at a toy show Saturday. I love the classic look way more than the original Classified Duke. He is one awesome action figure! I run hot/cold with buying Classified but that's why I love it. It is the Ultimate cherry-picking line. Once you buy one though it is hard not to go on a binge. Seriously have to track down Scarlett and Recondo.
