I picked up the Steel Marauder yesterday. I never thought I'd be tempted by a mech battlesuit but this was pretty nice. An added surprise was how neat the Kickstart figure is. I'm sure he's cobbled together from existing pieces. His head is definitely a blond Airborne head but he makes for a nice figure.
I'm not that intersted in the mech myself, but I too think that Kickstart rocks. He is basic green, but has that nice flip helm and some decent gear. He looks a little resoluteish. Just an all out good figure. I am not sure why he couldn't have been a steeler etc. But I might try to grab one loose down the road.

I preordered a case at smalljoes but I wasn't sure if my order went through since my paypal card transaction was expired and the money was put back in and they haven't replied back to me, so I canceled it.
I went to Target though today and it looks like they unloaded 2 or 3 cases. Lucky me!
They will keep making SE no matter what Is ay and if they have to make aa atleast it was like this!

Damn you Hasbro......... i said I would not do it but I went and bought wave 2 SE.... he is actually a sweet fig onec you get him open. I like the armor detail and the weapons and shockingly the action feature does nothing to limit the sculpt or articulation.... bravo Hasbro.... if I was a kid this would be my fav figure!!

Finally saw a single wave 2 figure at Target today. Not on the pegs that have been clear for the past 3 weeks but hiding in another aisle. I passed since I ordered a case but good to see them in the stores now.
nope mine is tight.
Well, I just picked up Dusty a few days ago and, as awesome as he was, I did have one problem with mine. It has a really loose torso joint, meaning he can spin around "Exorcist" style without any problem. It was just strange because I told a friend about it and he said his Dusty has the same issue (although not as severe). I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
Grabbed all of wave 2 minus Destro and SE today at Target. I really am impressed!! Dusty and Zartan rock like I knew they would since I first saw the pics. Jungle Viper I grew to really really like and in person still do. The surprise was Recondo. I expected to like him but I really LOVE him too. But he is not Recondo! I am sorry, he is not!! The head has no resemblance unlike the other figs. This is a Gung Ho head plain and simple imo. They just decided to make it Recondo.
