Was there any modification involved in getting the pieces to fit?

Similar question: How do you take the heads off? Boil & pop?

I only have played with 2 fortnite figures and the heads came off pretty easy by just pulling. always safe to boil/heat then pop, but I usually think about that after I try brute force :)

Agreed on all counts. If you doesn't pop off with a light tug, go ahead and hit them with some heat real quick to loosen up the plastic.

In what world is it rational to complain about a $12.99 for a great 18th action figure? Your valuation of this or that higher pricepoint can vary but $12.99 for for a BFS-quality action figure with an accessory and figure stand is a perfectly reasonable MSRP.

......in your opinion. We all have our limits. We all have your preferences.

12.99 for these figures is too high for ME as well--especially for essentially custom fodder. They are little too cartoony overall. I also would rather spend my money on Marauder stuff.

I can buy lots of MU figures that have near identical levels of articulation (90s Cyclops mold) as Bossfight figures for a fraction of the price right now...if its for customs, I have options that will not cost as much.

Straight-up truth: if we're talking standards then we have to admit 90% of the Hasbro 18th-scale Marvel effort is garbage.

While everything else you mention is true, you never mentioned you were buying solely for customs fodder. We all try to get fodder on the cheap end but generally agree upon paying reasonable retail price for good product for at least the first one, just to be fair to the company so they can make back the money they expect to keep the line going. Here in 2019, $12.99 for a BFS-quality figure with accessory and figure stand is simply not an unreasonable MSRP for us to pay for a 'standard' 18th-scale action figure purchase.

I just bought my first fortnite stuff 2 treasure chests on clearance for $2.50. I didn't realize the contents were listed on there, but honestly since there was only 2 i'd still of picked them up. as mentioned on here before my walmarts are poor selection of action figures. they just redid that isle and lots of fortnite single figures and a couple box sets. zero corpse, starwars, or ant other figures close to our scale. there are a couple sets from adventure wheels that come with a single 1:18 figure.

I was lucky to get a couple fortnite figures in trade. I can't swing $12 a go for single figures, i'm about $5 max and at this point even that would need to be something i'm sure i'll use right now.

not a collector so everything is fodders.....

I ran up on these the other day, but not something I can use right now. make a cool ironman or several joe/cobra characters.

not mine and in no way connected to the seller.

The new series is on the horizon.
Crackshot and Leviathan will be in the new building set which will include new building materials like tiles with spikes. Traps perhaps?
There's a new loot pinata with Warpaint.
A quad with a Burnout that looks pretty cool.
A boxset of two gingerbread men.
I saw these on Instagram.

While I have no attachment to the IP as I never tried the game, I really like this toy line.
Somehow it feels like it combines the mobility and military fun of GI Joe with the same level of crazyness that TMNT had in its original run.
There's something for everyone in there.

I don't remember these kind of instructions in any tutorial. Is this like from a private YouTube channel or something?
