@mr-potatohead yes to Low-Light's waist.  Disappointing because I felt the waists were moving more freely in recent waves.

I got a shipping notice from Target for the PP Ninja Viper, but it says arriving Oct. 8th.  I think it's more of a processing soon notice than an actual shipping notice.

I couldn't be happier with Range Viper.  Him and Torpedo were my most-anticipated figures and they're both fantastic.  Outback has, in my opinion, the best overall buck and it's shining here.  Both RV and Big Ben are some of the best figures in the line.  Really looking forward to the red Range Viper now.  I hope everyone gets their Walmart orders.

@fuzzybluedemon Yeah, I had issues with Scrap Iron's joints being way too tight as well.

 

@mrboshek I'll try boiling and see if that eases it any.

 

Thanks for the replies.

It is weird they have a "back in stock" section, but only move things over if they convert on Fridays...

Range Viper arrived today and is very cool. Only issue was a couple of comically warped guns. I've never seen them warped into semi-circles like these before. Fixable, but yikes, they need to look into what's going on with the plastic used for these weapons.

Yes, my Low Light has a stuck waist, and the red paint on the goggles is off center so it looks derpy on the figure. I'm going to have to strip the paint off and repaint. I don't know why Low Light decided to go into the battlefield with a nail gun as a side arm......     

No seriously, the closest thing this resembles is an airsoft gun, even better! Otherwise a great figure.

 

My Range Vipers arrived and has terribly warped guns. That Milkor grenade launcher would look like poo even if it was straight.

Back when Wal-Mart cancelled all of those Range Vipers, they cancelled my order for 1 and sent me a refund. A few days later, they sent me another refund for the same amount. I got concerned that they also cancelled my Big Ben, but he's out for delivery today, so it looks they they made a mistake and refunded me 50 bucks for the Range Viper when I only ordered one. 

 

So today I ended up just buying one from the ebay flippers who are selling them for twice the price, which I almost never do, since Wal-Mart allowed me to have a 50 dollar budget to replace the one they cancelled. Pretty happy I'm all caught up on all of the Classified on my wants now, they are all either pre-ordered, shipped, in my PoL or in my collection. Feels good.

Following up on my post from yesterday, that refund from Walmart changed to a charge so I was in fact charged for both figures.  So yeah, keep an eye on your bank statements because they're doing some strange stuff with the billing.

Range Viper is cool but pretty fiddly to pose since he's got a floating bandolier, handkerchief (or whatever), a backpack that doesn't peg in very deep and a tube coming off of it that plugs into the back of his head.  So many things to try to position right while also making sure he doesn't fall over backwards due to the weight of the pack.

Big Ben is great but I feel like they lowkey blew it by not including the grenade pouch and grenades.  Those were such a cool and unique little detail for the vintage figure.  The missing backpack is also pretty glaring.  I dig the alt head but I'd trade it in a second for the missing accessories.

No kidding. I kept knocking out the tube when trying to adjust his pose. Knocked off the backpack when trying to adjust the tube. Like a vicious circle. I would love to see a different system used for the backpacks. Something similar to hand pegs that can snap in and out easily and give more stability.

I desperately want to see a shaped peg system for the backpacks, so they'll stay straight.  The ones that fall out too easily are the worst, but the backpacks that just spin around aren't too far behind.
