Yellow-Neck Serpentor Variant

This guy just arrived today. Its the original ARAH Serpentor with the painted yellow neck variant. He is incomplete, but I have several Sepentors that I can take his accessories from. Got him for a steal on eBay, don’t think people were looking for him when this auction was up.

Walmart Score!

I went and grabbed a new phone at Bestbuy during my lunch break yesterday and there also happened to be a Walmart next door. I hadn’t checked a Walmart for Joes in over a year and wasn’t expecting to find anything. But lo and behold I found a ton of the hard to find wave 2.5/3! I picked up 2 Alley Vipers, along with a Dark Ninja and two Cyber Ninjas.

Tons of New Joes!

I went on a bit of a shopping spree and picked up a lot of stuff: SDCC Zarana (both pink and cold slither versions), FSS Quarrel, Grunt, Jinx, and Cover Girl, Funskool Super Cop with his his repainted vehicles, 25th anniversary Tiger Rat (I’m hoping the next con set, and my first attending con, will be Tiger Force), Kick Start, both versions of the Vamp Mk II with the Steel Brigade driver and Double Clutch, Night Fox w/ AWE Striker, Plastirama and Funskool Weapons Transport, and Plastirama and Funskool Bomb Disposal. To finish it off, I also picked up the Bronze Bombers 12-pack that used ARAH sculpts! A ton of packages arrived this week and the wife was very surprised, but understanding πŸ™‚

I’m excited to open up both of the Funskool vehicles because they are still sealed and come with free figure pack-ins. Here is to hoping for a Blue Hawk or Blue Short Fuze! Haha. Most likely it is just some random throw in, but it will be fun nonetheless.

While there seems to be a lot of CGI in there at the moment, I am excited for these figures. The Club is cleverly re-using many sculpts this time with Skull-Buster, Airtight, Shipwreck and Wide-Scope (looks to be the retaliation 3 pack trooper which may have also been the shock trooper).Β
