Just got a hold of one of these Sam's Club Ultimate Collection sets. Seems they've taken away Puma's elbow articulation. And replaced her original shoulder articulation with the basic 5pt style stick arm spin joint. : ( - how are you gonna take a step in the right direction pertaining to cultural diversity, while taking a step back on your equal rights for all sexes?

Yes that‘s really a bummer! I‘ve heard in some YouTube review that they had problems with the „master form“ of the mold (or whatever you call that) and due to corona didn‘t have time to get it right before some deadline and that‘s why they had to improvise kind of. Something like that... I will try to find the video again and post the link here.

It's a shame that happened. A completely straight arm just looks unnatural.
The Puma and Snakebite figures in the 10 pack with Issue 2 of the comic, sold by Smyths, which must have been made recently have elbow articulation. So I suspect the story about this version being a temporary glitch is likely true.
We do need more female figures. Most fans seem to want this.

The latest assortment of Corps to hit South Africa. Unfortunately, aside from the updated Fixer pack, its exactly the same product that we got last time...

I am damn jealous of that picture. We are lucky where I'm at in Texas to have a single peg of the same Alien line figures.

My strait armed Puma is sealed up next to a few of my full chest, unpainted full chest, and flat/no cleavage, versions of Puma. ... bet.

I found this really old Soldier Force diver's tank I didn't know I had at the weekend. I need a few more for my other Gills:

I was in Smyths today and laid eyeballs on the new Monarch bomber and a new deco Titan tank. The photos for Smyths online still show the old variants of both. No sign of the new Sky Knight version of the Sky Strike which I am looking out for.
The Monarch looks awesome! Love the retro decals!
The Titan tank looks sweet too. There is a new all grey variant of the ATV ( I couldn't see any faction logo on it) and the barricade is also recoloured. You can see on the back of the box that it is aged looking.
The comics included in both these sets were still issue 2. No sighting yet of a new comic over here.
