spy troops,,,,,BRIEF review and questions..

[rich]

i just got scalpel, tunnel rat, overkill, and hacker.....

PRO's- nice sculpts, figs. and weapons.very detailed.

 

CON's- all figs. kinda loose,,,[ joints that is...]

spy 'gear'....mostly lame.... + tunnel

rat is the TALLEST of the 4,,,,,,,HUH???

 

now the questions?????

 

does anyone REALLY know what the heck those 2 wierd blade-like

instruments are and do on scalpels back?..if you have the figure you know what i mean,,,they don't move enough over his shoulders or under the arms to help him out in any way?????

 

last question is more of an idea for any customizer's out there...V.H. TOM,etc....looking at overkills head..i think it would make a cool "the shadow" custom,,would need a trench coat and gangster hat of course

...do you know who i'm talkin' about? "the shadow knows"....... he...he...

[Mister C]

Apparently, they're hooks for carrying wounded on his back. I just read that somewhere else today.

[rich]

.....OUCH!

[Mister C]

Well, he's a COBRA medic, after all.

[revsears]

They are lights!

 

who knows the evil that lurks in the hearts of men, the shadows knows.

[Doc Evil]

Who knows what goofiness lurks in the minds of Hasbro toy designers?

[Mister C]

Well, seeing as how you actually have Scalpel and I don't, I'll defer to you, Naz. I was just regurgitating what I read somewhere else.

[revsears]

i too am just saying what i've been told.

[Mister C]

Well, they must be HOOKLIGHTS then.

[CrimsonGuardsmen140]

I have no idea what those things are. One the package art they look like lights, but on the toy they look like hooks. They dont even go over his shoulders though. Also does anyone elses Scalpel have a really tiny hole on the right side of the the shoulder pad. Not the hole for the hook thingie but another one. What the heck is that for?

[revsears]

welcome aboard cg. Yeah they all have that hole and no one knows what it's for.

[rich]

....ya guys,,i had heard they were lights to......but now that i have the

figure,,,,i kind of doubt it...they're real blade-like.....and...they don't rise up enough on the shoulders to be useful in that capacity......it figures HASBRO would make a stupid gimic like this......to much of a stretch to....oh,,,,i don't know,,,,,,maybe make a freakin' medical bag [kit] accessary.......

[Mister C]

What? a logical accsessory? I think you have this toyline confused with another one.
