A $27 "VAMP"... https://youtu.be/yNuiydrvggw?feature=shared

Very interesting...

[martin-montreal]

I got my Crimson Strike set.

Pros:
1. Love the box art
2. Love the updated Baroness arms
3. Stands!

Cons:
1. Expensive set for almost just repaints
2. T/X:
2a. should come with their grappling hook (or even 2!)
2b. are missing a gun holster, like the one the Cobra Officer got to clip on his back, to store an extra rifle
2c. should get 1 hand gun and 1 knife each instead of 2 knifes
3. Baroness should have updated pinless legs

Bottom line, I like the Crimson subteam. So this set was a must have for me.

I had the crimson set in my hands, but ended up not buying it.  I would have really only wanted the baroness as I think the paint on her looks amazing.  I agree with you on the accessories, they really had a chance to make this set truly unique other than the colouring.  If they had done any of the things you mentioned, I probably would have broke down and purchased the set.

Still have my fingers cross for a good Crimson Twin Two pack that reminds me of the original figs... and a Cobra Ferret!

It was this commercial that made me want the twins back in the day.

Got my Firefly from amazon.  And sure enough his chest is floppy and loose.  That I can live with.  What really bummed me out was the silencer won't stay attached to his gun in any position other than shooting straight up.  Do I glue it in place?  Do I try to add some furniture wax?   

Also got LowLight, and he is a great figure, but what is the purpose of the gun case backpack peg holes?  I tried the gun case on his back, and the backpack pegged into it, and that looks insanely stupid.

Got a delayed shipping notification from walmart.ca. No new time frame for delivery on Shooter, Crimson AV, or Mole Rat.

Same for me.

Not too happy about this, especially with them showing up again on Walmart.com for order.

Someone local to me (Ottawa) said they found some Mole Rats at their local Walmart in Smith Falls.  If true then it means stock is in the country, now sort it out Walmart Canada.

I also got a shipping delay for the Crimson Alley Viper... but it's not looking good. See that review:

I hope that is a limited problem with the Crimson Alley Viper.  Strange that the second use of that mold produced figures with joints that are too tight, usually as the mold gets used, the figures end up loosey goosey.   Fingers cross to if and when we get ours from Walmart.ca

Got notice from Walmart that my Mole Rat and Alley Viper are shipping.

Nothing yet on Shooter.

So strange, I just got my shipping notification for Shooter but not the other two.

Just had Mole Rat and Alley Viper dropped at my door!!!!


Because I ordered them separately they shipped them in separate boxes, but the boxes were too small. So the top flaps of the boxes were bent and creased down to fit the box. Thankfully no real damage as the cardboard is so strong. Not even a crease line so if I flatten it out and put some weight on it they should straighten out again after some time.


Can't wait to crack them open later tonight. Now just waiting on Shooter.
