Hauls

I didn't go to Target today, which is probably ok, but I did go to Walmart and scored the Clone Scuba Trooper and Firefly vs Storm Shadow Comic Pack.

I already have a Firefly and Storm Shadow, but these guys are mostly new with new accessories.

Firefly- Reused body, he comes with a detachable vest, belt, goggles and backpack. His guns is his original pistol, an Uzi and a machine gun with a scope and laser. The back pack has a stand that can collapse, so he can stand it if he wants. The backpack can also open up, awesome! Inside you'll find something that looks like a silver Swiss army knife. It has a wrench the the end and a knife on the other. A red gas carton, tan explosives and a black flash light. All are removable so that's really cool.

Storm Shadow- Looks like a new head, his body is a reuse of Gung-Ho, the thighs are a Cobra Troopers, The shins, feet and crotch seem to be new. His new accessories are two comas with a long string attaching them. A three bladed hand weapon. His backpack can hold his two samurai swords. The swords have sculpted dragon heads on the end and the handle is braided nicely. His backpack opens, but nothing is removable, though Firefly makes up for that. Inside there are various ninja stuff like, spiked knuckles, those anchor things that help you walk on top of buildings, pouches and other stuff. The inside is patterned with braids too. On the bottom he has sculpted ropes, I don't think it's supposed to be detachable but it comes off easily. It's held by two pegs, mine wasn't fully painting, it's sculpted white though, but maybe they had an idea of it becoming removable. His shoulder armor, chest apparel, is removable. The peg is on the back.

The Scuba Trooper is something I expected, he's cool, but you know, he's not that cool. Well not to me. I really like the design, but it's too simple for me or more or less cartoonish. I don't know if it's supposed to be like that though...The detail is there though. Turbines, fins, hoses. The gun is oversized. It reaches up to the eye slits. Holding it is awkward The stock bends if he tried to hold the barrel, it's best holding it with one hand. The ball jointed neck and the torso can let him pose like he's cruising through the sea. Awesome! The feet fin can come off. They slide in and peg in under the feet, it's secured nicely. You can take off the backpack and fins to make him like a totally new trooper, but the hoses don't attach to anything so it looks funny.

I really like my hauls, the Scuba Trooper could've been better. The Firefly and Storm Shadow is a must have, they are really awesome. Scuba Trooper 8.5/10, Comic Pack 10/10
