No breakage, but my Ripper & Buzzer's ankles are so loose, they can't stand even vanilla, let alone in a pose, holding their jaws/chainsaw.

Just got Hawk & Helix yesterday, and both are great. *shrug* Couldn't do my usual Obi-Wan headswap for Hawk, though. Socket is too big for the ball, skintones are too far off, and it's super undersized for the body. Oh well.

I wonder if failure to standardize neck ball peg size helped doom Hasbro's Selfie Series.

Got my Hiss Tank today! Such an awesome vehicle and set! Brought me back to my childhood and my old Hiss and Hiss II. I had such a blast playing with the Hiss with my kids today! Love all the features—the new cockpit with the opening windows was a big hit as was the female gunner, and the compartment with space for all the weapons and gear. And all the different lights are a lot of fun.

@mikeysee It wasn't me either about the 3 extra Cobra Commanders.  I just got the one.

Just cracked open the HISS. I thought i might have regrets because of the size but it's really not unreasonable as a display piece - I don't have a spot that works quite right at the moment but it's doable. Had a little trouble deciding which cockpit window to use, almost feels guilty not being able to display everything at once. 

Is there a guide for the sticker placement? I feel like i'm missing something telling me where everything should go. 

Hard to resist unboxing Cobra Commander. He looks really spiffy but I want to see if they'll release a standard version of the helmeted CC. 

Pulse charged for the fire team the other day, so I've really gotta find a spot for the entire HISS array. It's really my only regret with the Haslabs I've backed - I have no idea where to put them once they're here!

My oh my does that HISS tank look spectacular.  If I were a collector with more money and more space I'd be all over it.  For those that have it, enjoy!  Wow, nice!

The packaging without a Hiss Tank is freakin' heavy and I'm getting tired of moving it around.  Not sure where it's going.  So far I only have the main turret gun and cockpit attached.  Haven't cut the ties for the figures yet 

I think it was preternia on Instagram that had the Silk head from the Doc Ock set on the female.  Looked nice.

Thanks for posting! TV and Airborne were my top wants out of the reveals.

But what's with the promo shots? Techno Vipers don't belong in cage matches. They need to focus on fixing my busted-up Trubble Bubble ...

Watching reviews and such; the HISS Tank looks amazing. Absolutely amazing. It's one of those things where part of me wishes I had gotten it, but the other part of me recognizes the reasons I didn't get it are still true; it was monumentally expensive for one item (in Canadian dollars, mind) and I have NOWHERE to put such a thing and it would just end up like my MOTUC Castle Grayskull - living in a closet and getting visited every so often with an 'oh yeah, this thing is super cool.'  I can't spend that much money on stuff I can't really put any kind of focus on displaying.

Still, incredible looking toy and I'm very excited to see more and more people posting pictures and videos.

Anyone else still waiting on a confirmation email that their HISS is shipping?

I'm in Canada so I have to give it a bit of leeway, but there are multiple reports of it arriving in different parts of Canada, or people getting their confirmation.  One fellow collector who lives only 5-10 minutes away from has his confirmation that it is arriving Monday. 

Funny thing is I got confirmation on Thursday evening that my Pulse order was shipping.......for my Fire Team 788.  Then the next morning I got an email asking how they did with my purchase and they hoped I was enjoying my order.  D'OH!!!  Thanks Pulse.  Not only nothing yet on my HISS, but asking me how I am enjoying an order I haven't received yet??  MAN........ (haha)

Oh the wait........

Yknow, I thought the Hiss was gonna come with a bunch of blast effects for all the cannons and guns. We’re the blast effect for the Hiss coming with the SMS?

Got Hawk today, and I am so annoyed by the waist joint. I can't tell if it's about to twist off or if it's just sticky. I even added the shock oil to it, and nervously worked the oil into the joint. Not much change. I thought the overly tight joints was a solved issue for this line!

Caved on Shooter and Helix this week. They make a good pair.

I popped both sections of his torso apart after heating with a blow dryer to add shock oil.  He was back to being stuck once he cooled off.

 

I heard Boog mention this on ACBA. A pic from Lenny's instagram, swipe right:

Target online is having a sale on a few Joes. Firefly is $12.49. Tunnel Rat, TF Flint and Buzzer are less than $10. Shockwave is less than $10 but is unfortunately out of stock. 

Walmart online also reduced the V2Snake Eyes and Timber set to like $16 for anyone wanting to stock up on more white wolves.
