Man, those 3 look badass. So, the Ninja force Scar head did work, huh?

Man, those 3 look badass. So, the Ninja force Scar head did work, huh? Thanks :-) I've had that head for a long time, it's the crappy swivel left and right kind. I'm hoping the new one I get in the mail will be ball jointed. Some earlier releases had ball joint heads, and if they are on the card should have a small parts warning sticker...later versions have it printed..and the crappy heads. The one I ordered had a sticker, so fingers crossed :-) |

There's a variation on Ninja Force Scarlet heads? Weird.

Yeah, and fun fact, Scarlett has two t's in her name if you go search on ebay.
I swear that's another example of the Mandella Effect :-)

I often use two t's but spell checker dislikes it.

Good news and bad news about Scarlett (I swear I've spelled her name with one "T"  ) She has the ball joint, yay! Eyes are painted different too. Bad news is the design has an small open slit in the back of the neck...like she is halfway being decapitated. I will just have to fill it in with sculpy and paint. I appreciate the head I already had, but I do like the ball joint functionality. Makes it feel like a solid figure. |

Thanks Swindle :-)
There's one more tray I need to take a picture of, it came out blurry.

Apparently it only works for some eBay accounts. Tried it out and it didn't work for me. Bummer. But thanks for letting me know all the same, Bravo.

I'm sorry. I'd heard that, but forgot to mention it. It seems to want to work for me, but I'm so undecided what to buy. Do I try something i'd never otherwise buy like a $30 Zica toys Sectaurs or other $' figure? (But then if I like them, odds of me getting more are slim). Do I buy loose star wars from China and wait months for them to arrive? (Never mind the ethical considerations, because most toys are made in china anyway) Another Skiff from Hasbro Toy Shop but I never opened the one I have? The only figures they have I want are X-Wing Luke and Sith Jumptrooper....a remake and a trooper from a film that I have no other figures from?

Couple items arrived today, Blizzard and Crystal Ball.
I've never had Blizzard. The character and the figure mean nothing to me, so I'm gonna paint him all white and try Lockdowns head on him. I always have Frostbites body to fall back on.
Crystal Ball
I used to have him, he was always my Vincent Price for COBRA.
Crystal Ball is fucking scary man! I didn't even want to get him, but he has such an interesting history. The face sculpt looks like Vincent Price I think, and the rest of him is kind of Gypsie-ish.
I think Swindle mentioned there is maybe a Cobra La connection too.
Even his filecard being written by Stephen King is crazy.
I see why the Joe's brought in Psyche-Out now :-)

I remember CB being a peg warmer as a kid. But I also remember my brother getting him as a birthday present when he was a kid (He was born on Halloween, so I can see that gift being in theme, as you said, Vincent Price stand in basically).
Never big on snowjoes, but I do think Blizzard has some neat accessories.
