POC arrivals on this month consist of :-
-basic figures (comes in case of 12.only 1 Alley Viper per case.)
-Resolute 7 pack for GI Joe and Cobra
-Doom Cycle and Ghosthawk
-both Mech suits
-HISS and Wolfhound

i like the mech suits. must buy one each. army build if 50% discount later. (possible?)

love the new hiss tank design but I will wait for black version to come out.

also, for the 7packs...is it for army building?

Mech Suits each cost RM99.90

sure is expensive, I use the us dollar conversion $20 = RM63.40 only.

priced like this how am I supposed to build an army? laugh.gif
hope TRU will overstock on these and 50% off later.

also, anyone knows the names of these 2 vehicles? I am trying to look for the box art but do not know the names.

beachhead with the gasmask is the coolest amongst all.
anyway a little haul for myself.. tongue.gif

if you were to get only one of these, just buy the steel marauder will do.
it looks cooler and posed better.

Awesome haul too man  rclxms.gif

Question about the Marauders' arms; the joints can extend no? Are the joints loose or do they lock in place? I noticed you positioned the elbow joint inwards and not like when out of the box. Hope you get what I mean  sweat.gif
*
wow, sharp eyes!

yes extends and wide range of arm movement. (deviant very limited though) rclxub.gif
i dont really like the gorilla look of wide shoulders so I position it differently. steel marauder really is very cool!

yes that is true.
the POC mechs are centred more towards young collectors.the design and color turned me off the moment i saw the prototype pics .

as for the AMP Suits, i bought my first for RM 200 inclusive of Col. Miles.
the second suit was bought for RM128.
*
sure is expensive! and i read hisstank forum, clearance sale in US $5 a pop! could build a huge army out of it.
just too bad it wasn't happening here. doh.gif

QUOTE(Odinn @ Aug 7 2010, 11:21 PM)
The Marauders' green is a bit of a turn off to me, but if you can ignore the color, I'd collect it anyway. The Deviant is nice though, just that the weapons aren't as great compared to the Marauder. But still will probably get that later this month. Good collection item  thumbup.gif

EDIT: also, no knee articulation is a bit sad but if that can be overlooked, still worth getting imo.  smile.gif
*
the green is very close to the old mech, different from the dragonhawk though.

a comparison pic here.

yeah rather pricey but considering that i bought 'em over 6 months ago ,the prices were reasonable.

on a side note ,that Defense Mech is a piece of awesomeness.been trying to get one to no avail.sigh.

heyy,those Ice Vipers were stunned by the sight of Mechs that they toppled and fell atop one another.  laugh.gif
*
been playing with those 2 mech..

noticed, since there are no knee joints, hasbro differentiate the two by reversing the legs. Steel Marauder is normal knee bent like human. Deviant is the other way around.
hard to explain, check the pictures better tongue.gif

was cleaning up my snow troops to take some pictures.
also plan to start a desert cobra team soon.

dont you think the figures are way too expensive at RM39.90 each?
RM29.90 sounds more reasonable.

anyway, an awesome review of the Steel Marauder here..

Nice review, and RM39.90 is expensive considering that was the price of the ROC figs then which was said to be priced higher because of image copyright. But now ROC figs Doc and Shipwreck are RM49.90, crazy prices.


and US retail for $5.99. that's like RM20 here.. rclxub.gif

you forgot to include shipping ,handling and tax charges .

bought the two mech RM85 each = $27 dollars. I consider this reasonable as online is selling at $19 ~ $25 excluding shipping and handling.
will still buy the beachhead and firefly someday. just too cool to pass on these.

i find these are quite suitable to be used as part of a special force team. will mix and match these with the new POC line.

oh you bought 3 packs too?
i bought the packs primarily for Duke.
swap POC Beach Head's "head" on Duke's body.same goes for the vest.you'll get an awesome seal figure.
or you can use PIt Commando's vest.
*
exactly, duke is the main selling point for me. can you show some of the pictures?
I know pit commando is an awesome figure with lots of accessories.
still kicking myself for not buying him when i got the chance.

Thanks.I got 10% discount for the case.Loose figures were bought at RM38 each.
It's a pity Beach Head doesnt come with his second knife.
*
once you open both firefly and beachhead, could you do a side by side comparison shot?
those 2 are definitely my favourite of the first wave, closely followed by alley viper.
