Oh! I saw that on eBay a few weeks ago. Looked tempting. Still does. I got a laugh out of watching Ogre fall down at the end, as well as the dramatic camera pull. That dinosaur skeleton...it looks familiar. Big Lots set? I totally snagged it from ebay! The temptation was too strong for me. The other action kit's where a lil' weaker, a zip-line & a parachute. I'm not sure where the dinosaur skeleton originates from, it somehow found it's way into the back yard. Our dog chewed off one of it's arms, so I replaced it with a dollar store chainsaw accessory from a 'wrestling' figure set. I call him a 'skull lurker', Lanard is welcome to riff the design if they like. ; )

My local Walmart has the three packs in stock again. It's been quite a while. I picked up a couple and hope to do some head swapping and painting soon.

That sucks, man. I have to use my phone to do it. Hopefully you'll get the ability to post pics to show you work in the future.

Here is a recent eBay haul for custom fodder. Really glad I got so many of the black/blue deco Bolder figures. Felt like I needed another Mirage for the head sculpt and arms. I'm also already working on that Justin Case figure for a custom and the other older figure (don't know his name).

Nice haul. I also wish I could find more Blue Bolders for customs. I think that's Stryke with the bandana

At first, there was an abundance of those figs on the pegs, but once he got the desert deco you couldn't find the blue anymore. The paint apps on the blue figure is pretty nice with the metallic dry brush in the chest.

I stand corrected, the bandana guy is Flashfire. Stryke is the bald one with the goatee

Here is a find I bought from a consignment sale my wife works at. I got the True Heroes HQ, 6 GI Joes (including the elusive Storm Rider), old school Commando Force soldiers (including Hawk, Large Sarge, Gunner, and Flashbang), as well as some fodder figures. The whole lot was $20. Crazy!

Yeah, I couldn't believe I got all of that so cheap. Really surprised to find the older Commando Force guys. Other than Hawk having some slight bite marks on his hair and foot, all those guys are in perfect condition.
