Be careful with the hole in Mole Rat's mask for his backpack tube, mine's already tearing.  I think I'll reinforce it with some glue and sand down the peg a little bit.

I saw a swap of movie Scarlett boots on Shooter.  It looks like a good option to change up the look.

I'm sure someone has posted it earlier in the thread but I'm not able to find it - what's the background on the mole rats? Is it an IDW thing? I got mine today and I was kind of not sold on it when I ordered originally (too sci-fi for my liking at first) but now that I have one in hand I actually wouldn't mind having two of these creepy dudes, might order a second if he's in stock. I kinda like the idea of pairing a sniper Joe with... whatever these guys are, it's visually cool.

Muuuuuuuch better! (Now who wants my oranges? Lol)

Man, yours look like they can move their right arms. The two I have so far both have frozen right shoulders that won't budge. They are stuck sticking out to the side, and won't go down. It's like both frozen and gummy, too. The figure feels off.

I hope it's just a dud because I originally wanted a few more of them. 

@mannie_bothans that sucks have you tried heating them up. I find the knee's usually need it

A lot of my recent Joes can't put their arms all the way down to their sides (and I'm not talking about gear getting in the way, I mean the hinge won't finish its range down), these included. I haven't bothered trying to heat, as I'm still able to get the poses I want, but yeah, it's frustrating. Trying to force it just moves the butterfly back or forth.

Yes, had that problem with the right arms on the Range Vipers in particular.  Annoying.

Man, I opened up my Chuckles figure, and I love this figure.  All the little accessories are so much fun.  I just keep messing with this figure and all the stuff that comes with it.  This line never ceases to be fun.

I saw that people in the US are getting shipping notices about their HISS Tank.  I haven't got one yet, but I cant wait to get this tank.  

@supercamel-1982 Yeah he's pretty sweet. I like him more then Minderbender as far as SDCC exclusives go. The extra head has a lot of personality.

Some people have received the email to update there shipping info for the HISS by the 24th. so it should start shipping by the 27th at the earliest. I'm in Canada so its usually a a bit behind the US. Sentinel was like a month behind but I don't think Galactus was that bad maybe a week.

Also CMD store has the newest wave in stock except for Ripper who is sold out

So behind on this thread but not behind on getting this line—so many awesome figures in the last month!

Range Viper

Big Ben

Tunnel Rat

Snow Job

Crimson Viper

Firefly

Grunt

Steel Corps!

Lowlight

Vypra

Tripwire—love all his gear! I had the old cassette tape and book version with the red suit back in the day  

Shooter

Crimson Alley Viper

Snow Serpent

So many figures! But what a blast! The deluxe Snow Serpent just came in yesterday. I just love this figure. So many fantastic accessories. I prefer him with the goggles down because I am used to the all-black mask of the original. 

My Shooter’s sniper rifle is fine. Not soft. In contrast, my Arctic BATs had overly soft plastic sniper rifles that droop down. 

Still don't know how I'm gonna get a Range Viper. My preorder is still "delayed," and while I got CS to give me a coupon to order the in stock Big Ben at my preorder price, the Viper's been sold out every time I've checked. Really makes me wish I'd been able to grab any of these at Pulse instead (and then I was stupid enough to do these last 3 for Collector Con & forgot to even check Pulse until after they'd already sold out, so I hope my WM PO works), though my Alley Vipers processed immediately & successfully through Walmart.

@tenime that sucks man. Not trying to rub it in. But he is my favorite army builder of the year. I'm sure he will pop up again at some point.

And the worst part is I have zero interest in even getting two, let alone more, lol. I just want ONE. ☹️ 

yeah that stinks. I had an extra to but I already sold it. prices on ebay are not terrible if you want to go that route
