yeah, the screws are them are super rusty. Bludd's knees were tight, one's loosened a bit...worries me now, did I bust the knee? Storm Shadow's knees are loose/shot.
Wonder what the story was with the Lamprey gun, they cut Bludd's thumb from his fingers. And there's masking tape on the gun handle partly...what's with the tape? Also, the house I got these at was the same as I got those 1993 joes a couple of weeks ago. Big gap, 1984 to 1993. They weren't there last time...i don't think. Know the Playmobil set wasn't there last time.
Apparently one of those lost kubricks is worth something, short packed.

Ultimates Thundercats got here a couple days early :-)
Also, a 1/18 Hiya Toys Aliens APC...because the Joe's should have one.
Sadly, my camera is even in the storage unit...might be able to take a few pics with my moms phone, we'll see.

First thoughts on the Aliens APC...
Overall size is a little smaller than I expected, it's not a bad thing though, I'm actually happy that it's not too huge or too heavy.
I would say it's wider than the Joe's H.A.V.O.C., but way smaller than the Rolling Thunder...probably about half the size.
I don't have any batteries to play with the light up gizmos they added, but I'm sure they're neat.
The top pops off pretty easily, and the rear end sort of folds open. Sliding door works, yay. Things like that tend to break for me the first time I try them.
All in all, a cool little addition, kind of overpriced...but this is something I've wanted for a long time for G.I.JOE, so yippee.
Thundercats...I haven't looked at them all, but I checked Lion-O, Mumm-Ra and Tygra. They all look good, excellent packaging for Ultimates. Tygra does have a slight smudge on the black cat on his emblem, it's a very easy fix (just fill in with black, it's pretty minor), but I did order a "collectable grade" from BBTS.

Overall, I'm really pleased with the Thundercats.
I found a few minor flaws, but nothing I can't fix.
The only ones I haven't got to yet are Slythe, Jaga, and the Robot Pirate dude, because they are already in storage, never got a chance to open those.
This line started and failed with Mattel back in 2015, so it's pretty amazing to finally have the main guys...still need Snarf though, lol.
Knowing that the Thundertank is on the way...I can't help but wonder what they might do for G.I.JOE?

Couple more notes...
The Aliens APC comes with a little female marine figure, forgot about that. Pulse rifle, flame thrower seem to fit and hold on the weapons rack. The only JOE figure I have on hand is the key-chain diver, but his O-ring broke...I still tried him out on the chairs, and it looked like a perfect fit...feet touching the floor when sitting. I was a little worried about that. And the door for the driver opens too.

My Ultimates TMNT got here today :-)
Foot Soldier, Raphael, Leonardo all look good.
4 Foot soldiers total...I wanted some extras, but I didn't want to go nuts.
April O'Neil is incredible! I want to have her interview Cobra Commander and try to get questions answered from Duke.
But yeah, they delivered three big boxes today, too many to go through.
Ultimates Transformers Optimus Prime...what can I say, he looks like he jumped out of the cartoon.

 Baroness v2 comes with 2 weapons. I'm not exactly sold on her colors. Shadow Weaver seems a tad taller than the others. Orko is a cute mascot type character. |

Nice display!
You could also use dog sled for Kwinn if you wanted.
I want Scarlett just to try using her head on the vintage figure.
Alley Viper, Croc Master, B.A.T.S., wow! :-)
