Hmmm... I haven't pulled the trigger on any of these RAH figures yet, but this Cyclops has me seriously reconsidering it.



He always was my favorite X-Man.  Might have to hit eBay and see if I can find a good deal... 

I just don't get all these high-priced auctions for clone repaints.

Why do people pay big $$$ for a single repainted clone?   

I understand the ones we did for charity, but I don't understand the average guy who will drop $100 for 4 clones.  Sure, it's only $25 each, but I've got a better way to spend the cash.  Go to Target/TRU/Wal-Mart and buy a bunch of #41 Clones.  At about $5-6 each, you should be able to get around 15 Clones with some change.  Then, go grab a few brushes and a few bottles of cheap Folk Art/Apple Barrel paint ($1 each at most places).   

There, now you just spent $100 and you can have 15 repainted clones!  Painting really isn't that tricky, and after trying it a few times (say 15 times with all those clones you bought), you'll get pretty good pretty quick!

Maybe people are just afraid to try?  I know I was afraid at first, but most of those acrylic paints are so water soluable that if you mess up on the first shot, it's easy to strip the paint and try again!

I need to decide what I am going to make... so far, I am not sure.

Ditto.  I have no idea what to do.   

Last time, I liked the idea of trying a Marvel-esque Bounty Hunter to make it a bit different from the norm, but this time there is no norm!   

Still not sure if I should do a scary alien custom or one of those "candy corn" troopers! 

I've got to get these too, since I've got all of these released so far.  I'm still annoyed that they went to repacks with these.

Is Anakin not a repack too?  I haven't thought about these guys for a while, but I seem to remember thinking they were one repack with one repaint.

It's hard to tell in the picture there, but Anakin is a "sith-eyes" repaint.  I think the other three (Obi-Wan, Vader, and Yoda) are pretty much the same though.

You can see anakin's "sith eyes" better in this picture (which I cropped off a GH SDCC photo):

Possible Spoilers.... You've been warned.

yeah, almost like a "lord of the flies" thype of thing. 

The people from the tail section go "tribal" while the others maintain a sense of civility, should be interesting to see what happen when the two groups clash.

My wife and I are also on board with the "the people who have Jin/sawyer/mike are from the tail section".  I think the reason they are holding them captive is because they fear that jin/saywer/mike are "the others"

I guess we will wait and see...

I was in the last one before it turned crazy and got closed. Any chance you can squeeze one more in?

Woot!   

Picked up my set at a local Target tonight (along with a second Clone Battle Pack).

After seeing these figures in person, I decided to buy 2 sets - the carded set I was going to originally buy as well as an opener set.  Sure, they are $13 bucks each and it's probably too much but I kinda like them in a "lava-y" sort of way.  With the light just right, they do kinda have a reflection that makes them look like they might be on a lava field.   

I just spent some time going through the TSN.ca listings for all the teams and I stick by my guns that I don't see the Sharks being a top three team.  We'll see, but I suppose a lot has to do with the year Nabokov has.

Some people I know are BANKING on Nabokov to have an excellent year...  especially those people who took him in their fantasy hockey league.
