    Gonna go ahead and address the elephant in the room. I hope the fact these are from a real toy company with actual mainstream resources makes the difference, and everybody gets a shot, cause after last weeks Turtle megillah, all I see right now is so much Bot-Chow.

    Well, something happened.  At 8:59 they were coming soon, at 9am they were "sold out" already.

  2. I was afraid he was the next fig from the concept art Sideshow was showing (I'm hoping for Storm Shadow soon.)

     

    I like the concept, but not thrilled with the execution. I love the the Snake Eyes figure, but this one I'll pass on.

     

    Something about that outfit makes his body lines look odd. Angled shoulders, too straight legs. He doesn't seem.. formidable. I also don't like mixing media on 12-inch figs. It'd have been nice if they could have gotten his hood to look good using cloth instead of a full molded piece.

     

    Oh well, saves me $120.

  3. I picked up Brawl and am going to send a nasty letter to Hasbro this weekend. I'll probably sound like angry comic book guy, but whatever. The quality on this thing (or lack thereof) really pisses me off.

     

    One of the swing arms on the top turret isn't mounted correctly and the entire top turret is mounted at an angle. I plan on taking pics for Hasbro and I'll post them here, too. The plastic seems like a bad choice, it gets stress marks from the smallest amount of force. The arm pegs, as mentioned before, do not hold at all. Not even a little.

     

    This is not a toy suitable for kids. My kid would cry if I gave this to him as it is.

     

    It's soured me on the whole line. Please tell me that Brawl is an exception and that I just got a bad QA screw-up.

  4. What? Where have I been?

     

    Anything special I need to look for to recognize these new jointed figures?

     

    Edit: Okay.. I think I figured it out. The new flying ninjas have different joints, right? (I thought he meant a release of the original Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow figs with new joints. Duh)

  5. They're different. If your a true masterpiece fan don't waste your money on this. Go get the Takara version, it might cost a little more but its worth it. It's the best toy ever made!!

    I'd 2nd that the Takara version is better. The smoke stacks make all the difference to me.
