Anyone know if the larger CC head from the Pyramid Of Darkness DVD pack and the final 25th Anniversary five-pack CC would work well with the DG CC body?
And on a similar note... anyone ever cast that head?

I don't remember if I had to drill it, hot glue it, or if it worked as is, but it's one of the heads I used on my CC, which is pretty similar to the DG version.

Yeah, but the DG version is really teeny, which doesn't go well with the bulkier arms.

The Retaliation helmet looks very nice on him.

On a whim I stopped at my DG. I found a complete set. This is the same DG I found my 1st set at. Compared to most sightings & findings here I am amazed that I just had to stop at my one DG 5 minutes away for both!
So stores do restock them. ;-)

I will trade a complete set for either SDCC Jinx. :-D

Makes me wonder if they're getting their second shipments in or doing a fall toy reset ???

Yeah, but I want a hood on him. Keep the 1993 CC homage going.

I saw a couple reports on Twitter that these are starting to show up again.

I'd be interested in a couple each of the Cobra Trooper and Duke.

Dang. Better fill up the tank :-)

Damn it, I was hoping the "second round" would be the repaint versions.

Actually found two more sets today. Only picked up Cobra Commander, because I passed on him twice and couldn't find him again, so I didn't want to make that mistake again. Also got a Duke, for some simple head swap fun.

He's just guessing.. Still haven't seen/heard any showing up here in Denver and was just at Family Dollar and nothing there yet either.

While I am interested in the recolors, certainly, I STILL need the originals. If anyone can assist, please PM me. Thanks!
