I don't care for the tat either but the unfilled tear drop could mean several different things.
You know they are terrorists?
Should I replace it with the word "Damaged" on his forehead? Maybe paint his teeth silver?
Or y'know, maybe I've had real-life run-ins with real evil people with face tattoos & gang affiliations that I don't wish to relive in my purchases?
Not sorry I don't want my figures, even villains, to look like Lil' Peep or Post Malone. It's not "edgy" looking, it's trashy looking.
My problem with tattoos that've showed up in this line is that they don't even look realistic to me. I don't think I've ever seen a perfectly unfaded black ink tattoo in my life.
@tenime what did you use to remove that anyway?
That guy, I think he goes by Cinnamon Bun, had checkered past, but seems nice enough.
Where BBTS, Amazon, and Target failed, GameStop came through and shipped Scarlett. Would've been dreadful waiting possibly two more weeks.
Ended up getting like 2 shadow trackers for parts. Can't beat that price and grabbed a lady jaye for 5, i mightve gotten more, i foeget. If i did it was grunt im sure. . Had a 50 gift card from Amazon and got a 200 one coming and decided to apply for their card even though I probably already have it to get 80 gift card and grabbed big boa, 3 techno vipers amd airborne. I'll save the remainder for next wave.
Yeah.... picked up a Grunt for $17 on Wal Mart, saw Shadow Tracker for $14 and couldn't resist another and then saw Lady Jaye for $5 and tossed a couple in to cross the free shipping threshold. Can't resist the cheap fodder.
Mainline Lady Jaye looks fantastic with the hat from the Retro, I think she's worth $5 just for that if you like Lady Jaye.
Ugh another painful wallet day. I am keeping army builders other than basic troopers or vipers to 2.
Both of my Lady Jaye figures have wonky joints - wondering if I should pick one more up at that $5 price to chance my arm that I'll get a good one?
Just looking at the retro Beachhead and I didn't realize just HOW good they nailed his original look. He looks fantastic.
Wasn't planning on getting the retro Eel or Viper but I like the repaints a lot. Guess they got me for both. No willpower. None.

A small amount of Goof Off (not Goo Gone - this stuff is basically paint thinner, and comes in a tin can) on a folded up paper towel, with warm water running & handsoap ready. One wipe will usually do it, though I had to do a second with my fingernail on the other side of the paper towel to get that Crow's Foot, but super careful not to erase the eye lol. Wash my own hands, and then use a soapy finger to gently rub the area on the figure, and stick it under the running water to rinse off. Being paint thinner, Goof Off will 100% melt the plastic if you use too much or leave it sitting there.
Much like March and April, July is going to be a wallet killer. So many Joes dropping at that time frame plus some Xmen ML and Masterverse. Le ouch part 2 so far this year.
@tenime seconding all that about goof off...can't believe how strong that stuff is! i always double-bag the q-tip after i'm done because otherwise i'll be able to smell it in the trash two rooms over. those small precision q-tips with the pointed ends are great for controlled use of goof off, highly recommended.
