sh9000 Posted July 31 Author Posted July 31 3.75" figures will be $20 to $25. Colonial Viper will be $200 to $255.

danth Posted August 6 Posted August 6 (edited) I picked up the Reaction+ Jinx, Falcon, and Cobra La Royal Guard. Jinx and Falcon are kinda rad but the Royal Guard definitely can NOT hold his weapon without breaking his entire hand. No idea what they were thinking with the completely different size hand holes. Falcon's hands are too open to hold Jinx's weapons so they just fall out. Jinx can't hold Falcon's gun, and her hand grip is so tight she can barely hold her own weapons. Seems pretty bad when a figure can't hold his own weapons, and figures in the same series can't hold each other's. Also I wish the Royal Guard had a little more texture because he's kind of boring. The original has little details all over. Edited August 6 by danth

Can you heat the hands with a blow dryer to get them soft enough to grip the weapons and then ice bath to hold the new pose? that was the trick for a lot of toys, but I’ve never opened one of the reactions

Do you think the hand will break while cooling if I leave the weapon in?

I would say heat it up just enough to where the plastic gets bendy, then before it cools too much to put the weapon in hand and then dip it in a bowl of ice water while holding the weapon to keep its new shape

Roy Focker Posted yesterday at 02:06 AM Posted yesterday at 02:06 AM That Tron set is 1:18 scale and $260? When I saw pictures of it earlier, I assumed it was 1:12 scale. $260 for that scale made sense. Not at 1:18.

I'm not gonna pay another $160 for bikes that other manufacturers have already produced! 🤨

I'm not gonna pay another $160 for bikes that other manufacturers have already produced! 🤨 The whole set doesn’t look worth more than a hundred bucks, just five small figures and two small lightcycles should be only that much, maybe another fifty if they threw in the big flying blocky roboty thingy. It’s not like these are ultra detailed toys, just kinda basic shapes slapped together
Big s Posted 20 hours ago Posted 20 hours ago Was just watching a video from Hasbro about that set and those lightcycles look alright, but are so simplistic that it basically got one rolling wheel in the back and the main body is just a static front wheel with a seat for the rider and the back moving wheel with a two piece shell that clamps around the rider. It looks like it should, but the parts are so simple that it should just be a cheap add on. Maybe twenty to twenty five for one figure and a bike would be alright
