Wrecker has joined the rest of the batch. Waiting for Tech to join the fold!

Came in yesterday. Wow. What a figure. Now to find a pose. For the life of me, I can’t get the fists together in front of him.

Apparently you have to remove the bicep armor to achieve that pose.

I plan to attempt this sometime this weekend.

I'll let everyone know if it works.

Wrecker in the house:

Glad to add another member to the batch. I wish I could say I was a little more enthusiastic here, but the figure does have a few issues for me, very minor but...

Wish it were possible to get more dynamic poses here, but the armor's design is the perfect example of a character/figure from an animation design that can allow more "cheating" to achieve it's movement in the animation without sacrificing it's aesthetic. Unfortunately, the figure has to make the tough choice of one or the other and the "look" of the figure wins. And it does look great, no doubt. It's just very limited in expressive posing. Wrecker is a brawling, forceful brute that begs for dynamic action poses that are just not possible here, so the result is a muted version of the Batch's muscle for display. Add to that the vacant expression on the (well-rendered) head sculpt and the figure just lacks the character's presence. Thankfully, those qualities won't stand out so much when he's helmeted and included with the rest of the Batch on display.

No regrets with the purchase, just a little let down. Still looking forward to Tech's release to round the group out. A rare thing indeed when it comes to HT.

The big guy does look good...

Was just thinking about it today, certainly HT has more plans for that larger body. Would be a shame if they didn’t use it for Durge or Savage Opress. Heck even the Wookiee from BOBF

Durge (og 2003 realistic version) would be amazing. I think HT won't do such things though. Maybe some large Marvel character will make use of the body

Isnt Durge classified in Legends? No Durge for you. Sad to say.

Durge exists in Disney canon but his redesign isn't as good sadly.

Popcultcha now shipping Wrecker. Also now sold out at Popcultcha and like Crosshair the page is now an error result. That's weird since I see SS still has Wrecker. Glad I got my Tech PO in.

 

[jaztermareal]

Got my notification also


Luckily I got Crosshair during a trip to China last year otherwise would have a noticeable gap in the lineup. Now just need to secure a Tech.


If HT could do imperial crosshair, Gen1 TK and republic commando that would be nice

 

[Centrocal]

Definitely want a figure of the TK Stormtroopers. I like the helmet design and was hoping HT would make them, but it doesn't seem like they're making anyone besides the main team.

The poncho thing they're wearing in ep 4 looked cool

 

[jaztermareal]

luckily Skylu3d made 3D printable Armour and helmet files but I would love a proper HT figure, especially if the design could be given a more realistic interpretation as it is the closest we have gotten to proper McQuarrie TK so far.
