Are these at Target? That little A-10 might make a good Powerglide Crossover.


I found the whole assortment at Target last night, so they're starting to hit the stores right now. The lack of paint apps is bad, but something about the plastic looks really cheap, as well. From what I can tell, they molded the details on the 6-wheeled ATV, instead of using the parts of the original and I noticed the same thing with the ranger-bike that comes with the chopper. So instead of buying most of the line-up, I basically want the night-vision guy from the 5-pack and maybe a random figure to harvest accessories. I was expecting a bit more quality for $5, but I guess $5 doesn't get you as much as 5-7 years ago :-/


That is the reason we called the BBI Combat Command line.....KIDDIE BBI... :-P

I picked up quite a few items, and the plastic quality isn't bad. The figs seems about what they always were in terms of quality - just a few sticky joints here and there. I do agree they used a different plastic on the motorbike vs. the original - makes it a little less fragile actually, but also shinier and a bit less detail. Some of the accessories seem to be the same. I wouldn't call it cheap plastic, just shinier and thicker. The shiny I don't like so much, but actually I think the thickness is better now to protect previously fragile parts.

Found them all and have been really pleased. They're detailed, the weapons are much improved plastic wise and they cost what a figure should cost.
My only beef has been w the sniper figures hands, won't hold the Barrett that well.

I picked up Corba and Chaos. I like them a lot. I only had a couple of these figures from the last go round. Corba is just really cool. I didn't see the five pack. Couldn't justify more than just two of them, though...with the 50th line out.

Saw these today, picked up chaos for custom fodder. Very impressed for $4.99. Quality is decent, and the I like how his gun feels sturdy, like a marauder inc product, compared to older more fragile bbi weapons. Will likely pick up more of these.

Do they have the easily removable pouches like the old BBI products?

I really need to get to Target soon.

Some do have pouches and other details that are separate glued on pieces, but I haven't tried removing them yet. Seem to be glued down pretty good. Wouldn't say it's impossible though.

Update!

The pouches can be removed, takes a little more effort than the older bbi stuff (had to cut and twist them to remove).

I need that head for a custom I've had planned for a few years. Never could find a head that would work for it, but that one is perfect!
