A couple pics swiped from Provost over on the Fighting 118th. I'm not a packaging guy, but these header cards look great.

The heads are really the best part. It is super difficult to find faces that look young enough to work with Joe figs.

That The Hood opens up some greater variety for suited figures. Looks well proportioned, too. I'd like to see him next to some Joes.

Hello Norman,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention! I have passed the information along to our Product Department for review, hopefully we can get this updated soon enough. Likely you are correct that these figures will be in 3.75" or 9.5cm, I hope this will help and please let me know if you have any other questions.

Minor detail, but the Hood's jacket has been reversed.
Like many ninja during the New Sculpt Era, the right side of the jacket has been sculpted over the left part while it should be under.
Now it looks like he's wearing a lady jacket.

I picked up a Hood figure when I was out of town on business. It is better in hand than I originally thought and the head isn't too shiny.

Height wise he's a little shorter than an average Joe, but not noticeably tiny. The articulation is good and paint apps okay, although the flesh on the hands could have probably done with another coat of paint.

Overall, I like it and he's now Professor X in my collection.

I decided to save some $$$ over BBTS and ordered them directly from Amazon UK. I'm at work but got the notification that they arrived today. Ended up being around $80.00 for eight figures shipped to the US. (The Tracey brothers, Kayo, Brains & Max, and the Hood.)

Now, if only I was home to open them! I might do a quick Facebook LIVE with them tonight on JBL if anyone's interested.

I'm way more interested in the Kayo figure than Mr Pink, even with the keen 'bot.

I saw Kayo at my TRU today for $9.99. She was the only character I saw.

Reports indicate that they are available at TRU in Canada, so I'll have to go check 'em out.
