Nice! I'm glad you made this tab. All the sets look great.

They do look like fun toys just like the Kong stuff.
Wasn't the pilot figure previously released as Vulture or a similar name?

Yes, Vulture is the original figure. The Rampage line also has redecos of the previously retired Sparks and Eagle Eye.

That is cool that they are bringing back some of the older figures. With all of these molds available, it would be great to get some of these guys either remixed into the main line, or Frankenjoed into new characters. I have long espoused the idea of Frankenjoe'ing figures together as drivers and pilots, or to create new characters altogether with some creative paint apps.

I was surprised to see these today in my local Walmart. They've reset the action figure side of the aisle twice in the past few days and I walked right by these at first. They only had one of everything so I presume they only got in one case for each price point. I only bought the Canister Contact with friendly George and the Davis Okoye figure, aka Dwayne Johnson. I would like to know what a couple of the accessories are suppose to be. One looks like a cross between a cell phone and a tracking device. Another I'm not sure how to describe. It looks a bit like a sculpture.
I have a couple of quibbles. The bronze like color of the accessories seems a bit odd. I am wondering why the rifle has a long red barel. None of the three smaller accessories can fit in the figures Holster.
My real issue is that the Davis figure's left knee joint is very loose. Is there an easy way to fix this?

Pop the rivet holding the knee on, work a bit of Loctite into the joint, let it dry, and it should have a lot more friction when you reassemble it. Hot glue could work, but it's probably a bit too bulky to work into the joint easily. |

Not on the top of the joint, but on the sides of the hinge--you get more friction against the upper leg from there than from the top since the sides press against each other. Also work a bit into the socket where the rivet would go. I can try to get a picture if you want a bit more clarification on what I have in mind (but it will probably be from a Joe since those don't have rivets to pop). |

You can send me a Message if you like. I am just looking for the easiest possible way to make the leg tighter. The leg actually sways a bit when the figure is picked up. Fortunetly he stands perfectly fine. |

Wow! The big Lizzie was only 11 bucks. What an amazing sculpt and moves all over the place. Best of the bunch.

Yeah I thought it would be much more than that. The tag on the shelf said 11,so I scanned it and ran like hell to the checkout before they changed their minds. Only Lizzie they had. I wasn't going to get it just yet but when I saw the price I had to grab it.
