I mean, if you paid for shipping ONCE and they're going to ship a part of your order on their dime, more power to them. 🤣 

My 2 sets of Valkyries are shipping now, so they should be here by early next week the latest.

My Valkyries should be here Friday. Still not sure what I am going to do yet with the tan one. might make her into named Cobra trooper for my mercenaries shelve or I might paint the tan black. I just picked up the one set for now. might pick up another if it goes on sale. To many army builders this year.

Don't get me wrong its been nice I've been getting a new Joe product every Friday for the last few weeks and it doesn't seem like it will be slowing down. Looking forward to finally getting Mindbender unless they push him back again.

The intention was to pick one of these Cobra ladies to sell off (probably yellow straps), but now that they are in hand, damed if I don't want them both.  This line has been so good this year.

nice pic thanks for sharing. That's a tough choice. I would say the tan if you do sell. she sticks out to much from the other troopers. Unless they are planning on releasing the male trooper in tan.

yeah its crazy we are almost getting as many figures as the previous years combined.

I don't do much painting.  Will paint stick well to that material?  Even some light weathering should improve the look.  I cut down the number of sets from five to three before they shipped.  

I'm kind of meh on the Valkyries. They're fine and they look good on my shelf, but I think I'm good on the Cobra troops/officers for a long while now. 

for anyone interested, retro Crimson Guards are in stock on Pulse right now

The Valkyries are great! A slight issue with all the straps moving about and the Air Trooper helmet doesn't like to fit on any of the regular female trooper heads (it works great on the Air Trooper head). Great paint on all of them. The weapons were a little warped but, feel like firm plastic. I extended the hips on the two outside females to change up their height from one another. I'd likely buy a paint variant in the future (I would love an all black female & male Cobra Trooper) but I'm just keeping it to these four Valkyries from here on out.

Got my Cobra Valkyries today.  I really like them. And they definitely come with lots of accessories and options.  Really nice set. 

I'm so ready to get that Trubble Bubble though. Should be sometime next month though.

I'd briefly considered getting the Valkyries and using tan-belt-flight-mask as a Trubble Bubble pilot.

In the end I just decided to skip the set entirely. I hate that they lack a trooper vest and really don't fit in with the boys. 

Just opened mine. Really diggin em. And I'm down for Python Patron variants, fire team variants, crimson, whatevs.

I like the Valkyries. I think I like the tan straps one when I use the black backpack and weapons on that body. Six received and I think six is enough. 

Thwipp!

I'm going to paint mine I'll let you know. But it should stick fine. I've done it before with Masterverse figures on their soft plastic pieces. no issues. I'll use spray paint for most of it. except the straps on the figure. I'll use a brush for those.

Got my Valkyries yesterday.  Love 'em for the most part.

My only real gripes are the tan colours on the officer, some of the helmets not fitting well and the tight/poor range of motion on the core body.  None of which are deal breakers for me personally.

Otherwise I love them and they are great additions to the line and Cobra's troops.

Got an email overnight that the Trouble Bubble will be shipping soon.
