Which Corps vehicles are they bringing back? Some places are stocking the First Response assortment, such as Plague's mini-tank, Condor's micro-jet, etc. Some are also stocking the Titan Tank/Flying Fortress. I don't think I've seen them restocking the Air Command jet/helicopter assortment yet. |

I have also seen the restock of the first response vehicles here in Tennessee. The three packs are on sale currently. Hopefully that means the new products are coming in soon.

OK, that answers one of my questions. Hiddleston figure has "scars" or something. I thought mine had a paint error, but it's either on purpose or a running error. Ha, I just got around to unboxing my Creature Contact sets I picked up a few weekends ago, and I was wondering the same thing.  Mine also has slightly off-center eyebrows (shifted towards the right), so I couldn't rule anything out. Man, the creatures are great! Not much articulation to speak of (barring the spider), but they look very nice. I actually like that they're not "properly scaled" relative to the movie, since that makes them more versatile, and easier to use with other figure lines. For example, I just started buying Star Wars earlier this year, and think the Skullcrawler and Pterodactyl will work well with them as alien critters. I do feel that the figures' build quality is just a shade lower than average (the material is a bit more rubbery), but not to the point of really having any negative effect. It does help explain how they can toss so much into a $10 box, though.  Speaking of the box, I can't remember the last time I saw items zip-tied into a package. Glad my X-acto was handy! |

Im pretty sure I read somewhere that that was indeed meant to be a scar or cut and not a paint error

I haven't seen any Walmarts clearancing out their Kong items yet, but the last location I visited had reduced the price of the King Kong figure down to $20 (a $5 savings)...I wasn't planning on buying a King Kong, but I might have to reconsider if the price goes any further down. |

Get it! The Kong figure is a great toy! I picked one up for my sons birthday and was impressed, it is simple but durable and fun. |

Are those arm joints solid? They look and sound rather dodgy to me!

Alright, so I was trying to figure out which molds were used in this line, and I am hoping for some help from the more seasoned Lanard collectors. Here is what I have:
Creature Contact:
Packard -- Jump (new head)
Conrad -- Spade (new head)
Boat Soldier -- Crash? / Fixer? / new head?
Storm Strike
Helicopter Pilot -- Condor
Boat Pilot -- Ice
Mega King Kong
Dozer
Have I got them correct? Your assistance is much appreciated!

Jump and Rucker look the same as near as I can tell, at least in their chest and arms including their pouches and sleeve pockets. Heads are different obviously. Jump has his sleeves down, while the small boat pilot has his sleeves rolled up with two grenades and knife on his chest like Crash/Fixer. Same with Rain and Spade, same double breasted style coat, same holster on the chest. Skull Island team  Fixer  Jump  We really need a site like Yojoe.com for the Corps, heh... |

So yeah Packard is the Rucker/Jump mold with a new head.
Conrad is 'Elite' Rain (ie: Spade torso, Rain legs with Spade crotch) with new head
Small boat guy is Fixer/Crash mold with Jump head.
Pilot is Condor repaint
Boat guy is Ice repaint
and Kong guy is Dozer head on Recoil body
