Picked up the ATK yday, and I'm wondering why nobody's talking about the pic on the back; as it seems to be the first pic that shows upcoming figures without actually announcing them as coming. Look close at these guys's knees and notice how they're digi-models of the action figures and not the in-game digi-models. SOOOOOOOOOO happy to be getting the Disco Donkey guy for some dumb reason; and the Borderlands guy is cool, too.

As to the ATK itself, it's a damn fine little vehicle. All kinds of little details that flabbergast me they were able to bring this to market at the screamingly-reasonable $40. The simple fact that it's an RC vehicle justifies the price; but then you get an action figure with new parts and gear as well; not even mentioning all the little details on the kart that should bump up its price over other RC vehicles of its size like the removable roof, working steering wheel, removable 'lunch tray' stands in the back, or the foot peg for the driver's left foot so he can be secured in place unlike *any* Joe figure ever.
However, it doesn't work.
The controller sends signals and the kart receives them as the wheels spin and steer and the lights and sounds activate but as soon as it gets any resistance by being set down on the ground the engine loses all its strength and the kart basically just jerks a bit like it's stuck in a ditch trying to work itself out.
