And while Classified is my favorite line, there's a weird inconsistency with their grips that make them tough - sometimes they just come with hands that aren't designed to hold the, ah, girth of the weapons they come with.

I don't have any Classified figures, but I've seen this in a ton of other lines. They'll give you one grip hand, a sword, and a dagger. Only one of the sword/dagger will fit in the hand while the other flops around. It's a constant source of frustration.

Star Wars Black Series is releasing a Mando figure that literally has two gripping hands - one for the dagger and one for the sword/blaster. And I'm just like.. guys.. you are overthinking this problem by like... a truly staggering amount.

Classified generally comes with only one set if hands, maybe two if there's a good reason and they're supposed to be for any weapon, but I find they've got two basic hand grips - perfect and too tight for some guns. I can get OTHER guns or knives into their hands but weirdly they sometimes come with accessories that don't fit. My ideal line doesn't need to swap hands between types of weapons just because I don't want tons of wear and tear on the joint. (I know Marvel Legends is the basic b. of lines but I honestly find their hands the most user friendly to me). Monster Force is my current "love this line but calm down on the hands" line in this regard.

At least it's only overthinking on one particular figure. Black series, probably because almost everyone just has a singular signature weapons, generally just has one set of hands that works for that gun or saber. Personally, I wouldn't hve balked if they just gave us a fatter knife.

I have a huge problem with the lack of extra hands in SWB. Mostly in the sense that gripping hands look terrible empty, but there's lots of figures that just make more sense WITHOUT their weapons. And also they're obsessed with giving only two gripping hands to Jedi/Sith, but not engineering them to be able to do any, or almost any, two-handed poses. That line is just so fucking cheap with the extras and it's infuriating when you also collect Joe Classified, Savage Crucible, JoyToy, and even Marvel Legends.

Also, the solution is just to make the inner diameter of the grip hand fucking smaller. Like, Jesus Christ, Hasbro. they're pliable soft plastic. If we need a second gripping hand, it's to get rid of the fucking trigger fingers for characters that don't even have fucking blasters, not to have a slightly difference size inner hand diameter.
 
Sooo just received my order from the in-stock sale and mistakenly received an extra Varnok instead of the komodo dragon dungeon set... disappointing as the dungeon set was my main reason for doing the order lmao. Just emailed their customer support so I have no doubt they'll sort it out but still gonna be a long wait til I get my lil' lizard.
 
I really love the Dungeon set...adds some great atmosphere to the shelf with Conan & Red Sonja fighting various monsters. Definitely going to buy a set of the Savage Stands to add to the scene.
 
Well gentlemen, it looks like we all got our Dungeon set today. I'd only echo your words, if I try to explain why it's so awesome.

I also got Varnok and after swapping his feet, lower legs and an arm my fingers really hurt! I kid but I'm really stuck with choice paralysis. there's so many weapons and accessories. What an amazing problem to have. My only complaint is the shoulder armor is very rough taking on and off. The ankles are better than wave 2's as well. Might be my favorite figure so far.

Decided to swap around the helmets on my surprise extra Varnok's heads, my hands are sore from that damn spiky leather helmet poking into my hand while I pried the glue apart with a tiny screwdriver. Also got a stab from the screwdriver lol. He's got nothing on Nin Vilmir's armour-swapping pain though.

Also, for anyone considering it I would not advise trying to swap the helmets as the underlying heads aren't particularly compatible with the other helmets. Good if you want the helmets loose for holding as props though.
 
Oh, snap; just got and handled the Pay Up, MFer email for Elric. PleasePleasePleaseDon'tLetThisFigureSuck.jpg

Is there a good reason they're not showing him as a product any more?

Isn't this the same as what BFS used to do (still does?). Once the figure is on the water, pre-orders are cut off and the figure will be re-listed when it goes up as an in-stock item after the pre-orders are filled.
