ADULT COLLECTABLE

Remember those DTC wave 4 figures that nobody in their right mind really gave a fuck about? Remember how nobody in their right mind really cared they never got released? Remember how nobody in their right mind wanted more mediocre repaints? Unless you liked to review things in tandem on a site with no content?

TAKE IT AWAY FRED!

Well now our friends at the serious business action figure club are trying to hock them as ADULT COLLECTIBLES!



You see they are children's toys only for ADULTS, and ADULTS are willing to pay 30 dollars a two pack with 12 dollar shipping for such exciting figures as overweight Lt. Falcon and Female Cobra Male Fantasy With Guns. Those aren't made up numbers folks, thats Masturbatory Collectors actual asking price:


Airtight vs. Cobra Officer- $28.99 Ships October
Outback vs. Night Viper- $28.99 Ships October
Lt. Falcon Vs. Munitia & PP Copperhead- $40.99 Ships January


I mean it would be one thing if they were at least hocking GOOD figures, but these are rehashes from the end of the failed new sculpt experiment. Master Collector should just come out and say it on their website:


Buy our snake oil you retarded disposable income fucks

Anyone can use a weapon, a swamp ninja IS a weapon.

Ideal release of these figures would've been in those $3 single cards Hasbro made for Family Dollar and Dollar General stores. Most Joe fans are sheep...er...cheap. Massa Collector hasn't learned this.

And isn't that a trip. Hasbro can make those and make a profit. New sculpts went for $6 to $8 a two-pack. Then there were $2 single cards. The line get canned temporarily, comes back as $6 then $7 figures. Lines gets canned for real. Now they are $14.50 adult collectables (KY jelly sold seperately). Nerds losing money indeed. But which nerds, the fan club or the fans?

Copperhead? They invented another figure for the wave just to milk fans more. Surprised that grey Valor vs. Venom Firefly didn't make the cut.

Falcon looks like Col. Troutman after too many donuts.

Outback looks like a Nickelback cover band lead singer.

Munitia's arms don't even go with her body.

Airtight is just some ugly gasmask wearing goon now.

Night Viper is a sad cobbling together of Ariborne and Kamakura.

The Cobra Officer is a repaint of a figure that sold for $7.

Yeah, $100+ well-spent.

Didn't James Taylor write a song about Copperhead?

Maybe you are thinking of "Copperhead Road" by Steve Earle.
