@h-bird, thanks. I got mad and canceled my preorder for Ben when they canceled Range Viper (I still have Pulse preorders). It says Sunday delivery, but I'm not sure if that's possible, unless they hustle and FedEx cooperates.
Did we ever figure out if the WM deal where they 'zeroed' out the prices on preorders really mean they were cancelled? I have Ben po'd still, but my Range Vipers were zeroed out a while back.
Nice to see the Python Patrol Trubble Bubble $10 less than Pulse ...
Wish I didn't hate the look of the Tele-Viper so much. Did grab a couple PP Cobra Officers and will likely nab a Copperhead in store at some point.
Well they repainted the Bubble faster than I thought they would. It looks cool. I ordered one of each.
Thwipp!
I love those Python Patrol colors. For some reason they just really catch my eye. Ordered up those three right away.
Hopefully, the regular Tele-Viper will come back in stock on Pulse eventually.

If you preordered with a credit card, you should be fine, but people who ordered with PayPal or a gift card (like me) ended up getting their preorders cancelled because the system couldn’t re-process the order.
Hesitated on my chance to order Big Ben as there wasn’t jack else I could think of adding for free shipping. Oh well. But I did hop on Pulse to snag a few Python Patrol… officers? I thought they were troopers.
Don’t have much interest in Python Patrol outside of the officers/troopers. It’s the yellow — if they had been using a bit darker shade of grey and that electric yellow on all of them (like the first officer had) + red instead of maroon, I’d be interested in all of em.
Nice to see Copperhead and the Officer up fro preorder but.........

HOT DAMN DOES THAT TROUBLE BUBBLE LOOK GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First off....what the hell? $10US less for a repaint and it does appear to have everything the regular release has?? I can only assume that the MOQ for Target is much bigger to allow for the reduction in price? Or Target just had a price in mind and Hasbro met it?
Anyway, I know, I know, complaining about a drop in toy prices? hahaha
Back to the Trouble Bubble and Tele-Viper. Man do I love that paint scheme. I love the colours, the use of the black, gold, maroon and yellow. The eyes on the handle bar piece, the air mine being black, just everything about it really hits me well. I can see it going well with a Python ASP sometime in the future. The Tele-Viper looks great as well. I like the bright yellow. I will say the masked head doesn't look as good with this version, but that is a minor gripe for me.
The best part is that these will be a TRU exclusive up here in Canada so I don't have to pay $100.01Cdn for one Trouble Bubble w/Tele-Viper (that's just shy of $74US). Yes that is what I paid for 1 Trouble Bubble w/Tele-Viper from Pulse to Canada (with combined shipping on a multi-item purchase to save on shipping).
Anyway this will be a nice pick up when the time comes.
Darn, my Big Ben order got delayed.
Crap... Python Patrol is so hideous... I totally love it. Ordered one of each... if the TB goes on sale/clearance...
In my head-cannon Python Patrol is Serpentor's elite squadron. And now this Copperhead will be a clone. 😀
Got irritated this morning to get a Pulse notification about something new, log in to the site only to see these 3 new figures all sold out. Then I realized they are Python Patrol so should be at Target. Sure enough, easy to order at Target's site. I really love how robust they are getting with the Python Patrol releases. I didn't think I was in the market for another Trouble Bubble - but I can't pass up the PP specific version, it's too fun.
Target Geekout has become an afterthought without Neca TMNT, so I forgot about it until an hour ago when I got a text alert. I was totally surprised to see GI Joe preorders and not some random Jokerized DC characters.
I skipped all the Python Patrol. I just don't need it for my Cobra collection. Now if they release Darklon....I'll be pissed!
The PP TB looks really sharp! That’s it right? Hasbro has made all the Python Patrol now? What a hell of a subset! They even added they BAT and Vypra ninja. It’s probably just me but I was hoping for a COIL repaint into the PP colors.
So I am asking for at least a few more Tiger Force Joes. I know they have the Tripwire and Roadblock molds they can repaint. I really do want TF Roadblock. Then there were characters we haven’t seen yet. I’d be cool with a TF repaint of Kamakura or Cover Girl with a new head. I’m always interested in Snake Eyes variants. I d love an Arctic SE and Scarlett. But anyway two more TF Joes and I’m good with that subset. Or if Flint is it I’d be okay with that. TF Grunt could be interesting too.
Classified keeps rolling on.
Thwipp!
lmao, I always thought the Trouble Bubble was overpriced on Pulse, seeing a 1:1 rerelease repaint for $10 less within a month of it's release sure proved me right.
I don't love any of these new releases, even though Copperhead is so fantastic of a figure, but I'm still going to order them, cuz they still look rad. The Officer coming with two heads is a great get, one of those heads will go on the last PP Officer bc his head is a little boring.

Makes me wonder if it gets rereleased again if it'll be cheaper. I kind of doubt it. It felt overpriced but people gobbled it up anyway. Predatory conditioning prevails.
I will probably get that Copperhead whenever he goes on sale. That was my Copperhead growing up and he's the only one in that color scheme that I can tolerate.
