While I get what other posters have said about the Badlands Medic, I can't help but love it. I also like the Outlander but I expect that won't be a big seller. I also really liked the Rescue ship but that is a LOT of weaponry. Maybe that's where the Action part comes in. Thanks Lanard for continuing to expand the Corps!

I do like the badlands medic too. It's different.
They are colourful figures, that isn't everyone's taste, but people are buying Fortnite figures, Spinmasters Batman and Roblox figs...I guess that is what sells at this moment.
Hopefully we will see Willie and other newer articulation digs at some point.

I’m predicting (unfortunately) that the wave 2 articulated figures will be seen around Q4 of 2023. There is too much overall products that has already been shown that would still need to go on shelves such as Star Troopers, Primal Clash and whatever licensed product that is set for August 2022. If Jazwares and Spinmasters only get a small selection of pegs, I’d say Lanard gets either the same amount of space or smaller and all those products have to have their run prior to the wave 2 figs coming out. I’ll still buy the new t-crotch run, but disappointed about the hype we heard of phasing t-crotch out for new gen stuff.

I’ll still buy the new t-crotch run, but disappointed about the hype we heard of phasing t-crotch out for new gen stuff. Addressing this, The reason the New articulation styled figures were delayed were due to the separate factory being closed due to covid restrictions that have been going on in China. The use of the T-Crotch figures was a assortment deadline decision so further delays wouldn't happen - The New Styled, New Articulated Figures will arrive on the battlefield with more surprises sooner than many may think! And on the shelf space issue, I want to actually address this in a firm reassurance that Fans and Collectors will have Multiple retail options, In stores as well as online. Every toy manufacturer has their own issues and I have read over countless emails since being able to show the assortment, that many are fearful that products will be 1. scarce, or 2 hard to find. Lanard isn't Hasbro, or Mattel, so while it can be a matter of real estate sometimes on the pegs, The Release schedule and retail partnerships that are being implemented for The Corps! Universe will give customers a broader and better selection than ever before. Those who are worried about Primal Clash, or Star Troopers I will say this, Stop Worrying, Some products were moved around a bit, but not for a negative reason, Star Troopers news will be forthcoming, You can check out the Primal Clash section for the look at this year's Primal Clash Assortment.
Lastly, This Aug the Alien and Predator Collection will be replaced, so if you have not grabbed up those two sets I suggest you grab them now!
#ThankLanardForBringingTheFun

The Ultimate Battle Pack that just went live on Amazon and Smyths is a great value set.
Three new figures - Hawk, Mirage, Shark
Three new decos - Ghost, Rip, Rain (This is Ghost and Rip's first international release, I know you could get them in the US last year)
two old figures - Plague and Diesel - generic bad guy body and generic diver body for customs
2 small vehicles
£25 - a little over £3 a figure.
I Will buy multiples of this set over its lifetime.

Smyths are getting the Ultimate Battle Pack and 4 way assault by end of Sept accorsingb to their website.
The also have Corps Universe refreshes of the Direwolf and single seater helicopter sets. The Curse single seat helicopter comes with Ghost, a corps figure. It's an odd choice of figure.

Yes, these have been shown in the assortment thread. The Copter pack, maybe ghost got trapped behind enemy lines.... so you get a corps and curse item *that's a marketing explanation, though I'd have preferred Shrapnel but all the newer styled figures from the time crisis assortment were sent to primal clash, .....fans will just have to await wave 2 of the Corps! Universe. This is just the start.

Shrapnel, Puma and Snakebite are due to for new paint jobs imho. Lots of cool things you can do with those figures. They are perfect for the Badlands vibe.

Enjoyed the video. Looking forward to the Biotek 2 packs. All the robo animals are good plus the Eagle Eye's weapons pack (which is removable) and the body armour for Shark are highlights. I'm looking forward to a new wave of customs from people when these packs are widely available.

Badlands Medic looks better than I thought in the video. Looking forward to seeing it. I wasn't expecting the suspension in these vehicles for some reason.
