Well, Sparta and de Aco are posted now.

WOW, Cobra de Aco looks awesome.... He will be the most wanted for sure of the set!  Not sure what to say about Sparta... Is the orginal one on YoJoe.com to compare?

[bandonov]

Just saw the orginal on yojoe.com and why did they not give her a leather jacket?  But they gave one to Dial-Tone?

I just had the wrong idea about what they were doing.  I thought they were picking up where the 25th left off with that accurate PP Trooper and close-to-accurate Leatherneck.  But that's not their intentions at all.  They're just trying to do something different.

Figures look nice, but still not sure about wanting to spend $20.00 on a figure, even if there is only 650 figures ever made.

They really need to bring the cost back down to $250.00 for the box set. That's what it's worth to me, not $305.00.

As I understand it, the sets have been decreased from 650 to 500.

I beat Turner to the news, they just posted Claymore.  I think it is a good figure, the helmet is big but I think you have to see it to know if it is okay or riduclas...

The helmet is OK, it's his clown pants that are the problem.

Well, it's the 25th Outback with a different head and the wrong weapon.

and that 'Uzi' is a fricking Ingrams MAC-10!

Well pics of the boxed and posed set are now online. 

Overall a nice set, and frankly they really only missed on 3 figures (Leatherneck, Wet Suit, Mainframe).  They were pretty darn close on Sparta and Claymore and sort of close on Dial-Tone.  The got Cobra De Aco and the PP figs pretty much dead on considering the parts they had to work with.

I also like the PP art on the box, but would have liked to have seen some "action" art with the characters.

I only wish they would show the other exclusives that are for sale at the show, since I am still on the fence and that means I probably won't spend the money to go to the show.

Not sure what to do now, I like most of the figures but not sure if I want to spend so much for the set...    If they did not have so many PP troop builders in the set.  6 is way too many, 2 or 3 would have been fine.
