I'm very curious a) if they'd fit and b) how they'd look to put the werewolf and cobra heads on the wolf body. Because I'm weird and dumb.

I would guess those heads would end up always looking down on the wolf body. The neck peg on the wolf points forward. But these monster heads are designed to fit on a body with the neck peg going upward.

Uh, where are we talking about? If you can divulge that information.

Afraid it'd be no good to you, the shipping alone would make it pointless even before factoring in the tariff bobbins.

Skipping Wreckage is lunatic behavior, he rules! Especially right now; Autumn is his time to shine. He's basically Halloween Firefly.

That's the thing, he's just got no zip, no pizazz, no je ne sais quoi! He's literally just autumnal Firefly on a hideous quad bike. Besides, I already made a superfluous balaclava bike guy exception for Night Force Shockwave!
 
I love Wreckage. In my mind, he's a guy who has definitely lifted up his balaclava to smoke and has set his own mask on fire with a cigarette MORE THAN ONCE. And yeah, he's objectively ugly. But I love Tiger Force. Even the pee'd-on-snow-yellow TigerCAT.

Unrelated, I'm doing my monthly "WTF did Pulse just charge Paypal for" game and I can no longer cancel the Desert Scorpion set, which is my way of figuring out who they have taken my money for. So that should be shipping soon. Very excited to finally have a reason to break out Dusty and Desert Snake Eyes to fight!
 
OK so I cracked open Scorps and Hawk.

Welll I didn’t expect Hawk to be the big favorite here, but he is just so well done, with just the right balance of “green army man” and retrofuture to be super-cool and his helmet and portrait are really darn badass, he just looks like a legitimately tough guy.
The MMS is cooler in Joe colors, I think. It just feels more “right”.
Desert Scorpion is *bananas*. The figure itself is great fun, and the unmasked portrait is moody and honestly really handsome. My wife digs him! Heh. She also likes seeing a Cobra character with this skin tone. I agree. The new accessories are great, the reused Alley Viper accessories are . . . fine, the ascension gun at least has a rope now. The cloak and the backpack don’t exactly work well together, but the cloak and the unmasked face seem to make up an individual “leader” character, and the mask without the cloak but with the backpack/hose setup makes sense for the “regular” DS troopers.
The scorpion? HOLY CATS! Just ridiculously articulated and weird and scary and ludicrously fun. Kind of crazy to get Marvel’s “Gargantos” and this crazy scorpion in the same week, because they are both just totally wild and creative swings that are so unique and just totally throw the visceral joy of action figure collecting right into my soul.
 
I actually don't really go for Tiger Force too much, but TF Flint was cheap and I liked the face paint he has anyway. I also did get the TF Duke ONLY because that was the Duke I had as a kid, and I have Roadblock because I thought he looked the best and had the best weapon of the versions they've done.

But yeah, I really wanted Wreckage. That mask... is too cool to me. And I have him just standing there holding a rifle with his head kinda tilted to the side like he's waiting for you to make a move.
 
They were going to get me with Tiger Force in this line no matter what because for most of my childhood the only version I had of several of my favorite characters were TF because they were the ones who survived contact with my brothers and cousins. I'll always prefer classic Flint but TF Flint has a special place in my heart for making it as long as he did. Ace, Tripwire, Recondo, and Dusty were all casualties of time in their first versions but survived in Tiger Force.

Mind if I ask where you got Hawk? I am approximately one light push away from ordering from Amazon to get him sooner than from Pulse but I'm still sitting on the fence.

Been thinking so as well, was just wondering how much fudging could be done with the existing articulation to get it closer to looking forward. I COULD go mess with the Timbers I have to try and figure it out practically, but they're all the way downstairs and who goes downstairs if they don't have to?
