Battle of the Swords and Sabers!
 

Deathstroke arrived from EE today. I like this figure. The unmasked head sculpt is amazing. He stands well. The uber cuffs on the boots helps. Rogue 1 Vader is a solid Vader. Moff Gideon is the gem! Amazing sculpt on the face. He has a hard time standing with the heavy cape. I have an extra Joe or SW stand that should work.

Scout Predator came in through the mail yesterday. I really like him but he's not perfect. He looks great, as in the movie he's just the City Hunter body with the Jungle Hunter mask and color scheme but I find this combined look appealing. When NECA first revealed their original take on his unmasked head I wasn't feeling it but over time and especially having it in hand I think it's actually very neat. His rifle also came out well, the extendable barrel and adjustable stand are nice touches. I appreciate that they included both collapsed and extended versions of the combi stick even though the character had neither in the movie. He also has open and closed smart discs, I don't know if it's just on mine but trying to store the closed disc is a pain and even when I can get it to stay put it's not sitting flush like it should. His articulation is good and he has solid range of motion, although mine has a pretty wobbly waist and a stuck thigh rotation on the left leg everything else is moving fine. I'm happy with this release but a bit bummed that the line is going to be pricier going forward.

Found this fella at a rural GameStop with no price tag, hiding behind some stuff on the Star Wars shelf...up high. I figured it had to be clearanced, so I checked the price...$15. I got it for $10 after the monthly coupon. Good score.

^ Pretty sure I only ever saw that at the Disney store... came out the same time as the battle damaged Phasma I think.

My local Gamestop had like 8 of those when they came out. I never got one because a battle-damaged Stormtrooper just doesn't make sense unless they're dead on the ground and at $30 it wasn't worth the novelty.

My local Walmart finally put the Ghostbusters plasma series on clearance so I picked up Dana and Gozer to finish building Vinz. He's a solid-sized terror dog and generally looks right, the silver on his back is overdone and I don't even think it's accurate to the puppet.

And two Detolfs from IKEA this morning.

Look who arrived today:

Where'd you get that from? I need two of him.

Pulse.

My Green Ranger from Amazon came Nov. 17th. And my Z Puttys were a week before that. But I have come to expect Pulse to be late to the shipping party.

Late? They were early as hell for me. Green Ranger, Pumpkin Rapper, King Sphinx, and the two packs were not going to ship out until sometime in Jan per my Amazon orders. So the fact that Pulse shipped them all out a month early is exceptional. I haven't had Pulse do that in in nearly a year.

Even stores have yet to start carrying any of these guys around me.
