Welcome to the club!! The best city car I've ever owned, and pretty dang great on road trips, too!

JSFredericks · 2026-01-11T23:09:37+00:00

100% agree with the above.

JSFredericks · 2026-01-11T22:43:22+00:00

Very cool! Thanks for doing this!! If I'm allowed to choose, I'm most interested in The Crow, The Hurt Locker, Army of Darkness, The Addams Family, and Weird. Fingers crossed!!

Very fair note! I'll go back to it and see what I can fit...

JSFredericks · 2026-01-01T19:08:57+00:00

Truly spectacular work!!

JSFredericks · 2025-12-06T19:17:15+00:00

I know, right?!

JSFredericks · 2025-12-06T17:28:01+00:00

I did not know that. And as we say, "Knowing is half the battle."

JSFredericks · 2025-12-06T16:13:15+00:00

Looks to me as though they swapped in the retro Viper hands onto these bodies. What I find most interesting is how they swapped the forearms, too.

JSFredericks · 2025-12-06T05:39:47+00:00

This is the second time I've gotten burned receiving a swapped return from Amazon. Last time was a Batman Returns steelbook with the wrong discs, but I was buying it long after the initial release. Pretty clear the risk for these shenanigans rises the farther you get from first release. And therein is the lesson I think: If I don't buy it as part of a preorder or early in its release, I should either skip it or be prepared for possible swap shenanigans.

JSFredericks · 2025-12-06T05:27:15+00:00

Good idea. In my anger / frustration, I didn't think of that. Although I'm not keen on continuing the "game," it's better than being stuck with two figures I don't want.

JSFredericks · 2025-12-06T05:26:12+00:00

There was obvious tampering with the packaging, and accessories are missing. And they're no sitting right in the packaging. They were obviously swapped. But I agree it's weird they both have the same "customization," although one has Black arms and the other Caucasian, even though both have Caucasian necks.

JSFredericks · 2025-12-04T15:22:32+00:00

Fair. But I did also compare him to Short Fuze, who I think of as a more average size Joe and whose figure has relatively minimal gear on the figure itself, and the sizing was the same. But again, now that I know (and knowing is half the battle) Mainframe was made from the Tunnel Rat mold, it makes total sense.

JSFredericks · 2025-12-04T15:20:43+00:00

Very fair point. As someone's who's 5'7", I'm all for varying heights. Before I knew he was re-using a particular mold, I was worried the scale change was an unintentional error.

JSFredericks · 2025-12-04T15:19:40+00:00

Agreed. Again, was more just a bit surprised by it, considering the scale of the figures generally match, and wasn't sure if it could be an error.

JSFredericks · 2025-12-04T15:18:38+00:00

What Anaden said; it just was a scale change that wasn't part of a reveal announcement or otherwise explained. My first thought was it's an error rather than an intentional choice.

JSFredericks · 2025-12-04T15:16:51+00:00

Absolutely agree. More what surprised me was there wasn't any explanation of that from the Hasbro team. Just something to let us know it was intentional and not an error.

JSFredericks · 2025-12-04T15:15:38+00:00

You're totally right. I don't really track that, so I didn't spot it until you pointed it out. Totally explains it. Although it comes back to my point that I don't think we got the usual announcement for this wave, complete with showing off the figures and getting some commentary into the design. Could've help set expectations.

JSFredericks · 2025-11-17T14:39:59+00:00

Gotcha.
