That’s my plan too and why I went heavier than I originally anticipated. They snuck one of those human faces into nearly every set, making me pick up most of them. I think the pink alien set is the only one I didn’t pick up in the end.

Yep, they are universal. They confirmed the face plates work on the chainmail heads and the space cowls that that Oxkrew used too. The other heads all use their typical ball joints. I really wish Hasbro would implement more universal sizes in joints for easier popping and swapping. How many...

100% The combo sets are the only limited things here and I bet some sell out before the preorder window closes. They only have so many of those figures left on hand. Probably a good amount based on needing these head sets to be made to move them, but there is a finite number of figures left...

The turn around for the first set was actually pretty good, considering the usual waits we experience. I do wonder if the hybrid approach they used on the Legacies of Mythoss figures would have been better here? Make the in-stock drop only for the combo with the figure and then once those sell...

Sir Enoch. Sir Benegar, the guy that comes with the dragon, and the trooper builder for the dragon will also have those face plate heads. The female knight in the most recent dawns of discovery wave will also have one but it’s unclear if it’s the same peg system or a different one like Sir...

I’m actually the opposite. I’m liking the human face options but don’t care for the cosmic alien or helmet heads. I picked up half a dozen Sir Elijah’s so having other face plates to use really has my interest. The rest ended up with the bucket helmets but that will change now with these...

I wonder if he misspoke as he said they were wrapping up production in a couple of weeks (likely before the annual Chinese new year shut down) and then hitting the water. I doubt that will take 6 months unless something is really delaying boats significantly. Might be end of Q1, maybe Q2 at the...

They had a softcover sample at the intern for a day at LegionsCon. I think they said there were just a few corrections that needed to be made but it was otherwise done and ready to go to the printer. I think Q1 is the new ETA so we’ll probably hear more anytime now as they weren’t sure if the...

Yeah, Mezco’s shipping has gotten insane. I’m not sure if they’re trying to hide tariff fees into their shipping rather than raising their prices but they’re nowhere near realistic. I tried ordering some in-stock accessory sets a few months back and they wanted like $25 each for them in shipping...

Cosmic hasn’t been a line that’s grabbed my attention much. I picked up the blue mech suit guy to turn into Mr. Freeze, a couple of the greys and blue snakes when they did the head packs, and plan on picking up a scout or two eventually. Generic sci-fi just isn’t my thing but no denying they...

Yeah $42 to $55 is quite a jump. If you’re just getting a single figure, the savings might be negligible with the calculated shipping rates they use on preorders. If you’re buying multiple items, it can be quite a savings. I think the all in basically gave the crab guy and accessory set away for...

Those are the MSRP prices the horsemen set for all retailers. Unlike other lines, this is one BBTS doesn’t mark up. That’s part of their incentive to get us to order directly through them and pay upfront.

Even a line seemingly varied and all over the place like GI Joe Classified has a surprising amount of reuse in it. Repainting parts and using different gear combinations really hides the reuse well. Some lines do that really well and others is quite obvious what is getting reused over and over...

I think that’s partly why Figura Obscura has been so popular for them - no two year wait. Maybe just two weeks to ship out. Instant gratification.

And Rising Sons is now ready too

I could see them doing it based off the werewolf body similar to the mouse king.

Frankenstein sold out quickly in the origins color so I would expect that repaint to do well similarly, especially with Del Toro’s Frankenstein fresh in people’s minds. I would wait long on him. The others may linger a little longer but I bet Frank is the first to sell out. Well, maybe the Horde...

Looks like the retailer wave will hit first and then rising sons shortly after.

Jada is already making Scooby so they have an in with Hanna Barbara already. If the cereal figures do well I could see them trying to expand into a full on Flintstones line to complete the two families at least. Maybe Jetsons, Yogi, and others could follow? One can hope!

100%! I still am unsure where he’ll go when he gets here so I’m not in a big rush either. I know the engineering is their top priority as well. They don’t want this drooping or having issues over time - especially if they want to be able to reuse tooling for other dragons in the future. I’d...

There really isn’t any news yet. They’ve said they’re well under way in pre production but with this being a project first of its kind, it’s going to take a bit. I believe he’s actually scheduled to ship in 2026, which seems unlikely given their track record. But they have significantly started...

Last update I heard was they were just wrapping up production on them. Could be any day now. I know they’re working to get everything they can on the water before Chinese New Year. I think the next Cosmic and Rising Sons waves will hit kind of simultaneously. The retailer wave might be close...

So last year was Roadblock and this year is Firefly? Interesting little lineup homages they’re doing now.

It’s a ball. So ball at the mid torso and another ball at the waist.

I see Dorklair Bill in the Paladin sculpt but that may be more to do with the beard’s black and grey paint up than actual likeness to him. I don’t see Connery in Enoch either. Maybe more the Templar Knight from Last Crusade but again, maybe it’s the context doing that. I really haven’t noticed...
