hellpop Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Both Alpha Flight sets were produced at the same time as two different convention exclusives (SDCC and NYCC), so it made sense in that situation to advertise the sister set. Weren't they both at SDCC, with one at the DST booth and the other at AFX? Not that it matters.... I think BSG helmets would be too clunky. I think an Iron Man helemt sans face plate could work. I made a custom X-O a few years ago and used an Iron Man helmet. I was happy with how it turned out and would definitely recommend going this route.

Lobsterman Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 The image on TRU's site has the helmet on X-O. Salt in the wound... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 My Valiant order arrived yesterday, and it was by far the most well-packaged order from TRU.com that i've ever received. My packs were shipped in a sturdy cardboard box with thick bubble packs as packing material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Also, is X-O Manowar's color scheme off? I thought the armor was orange/metallic blue, but the Minimate is a bright yellow/metallic blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toy showdown Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) TRU has free store pickup available on the set, so you can check whether they're in-stock at your store first. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=57537776 In my case, no, so it'll be cheaper to order online than drive 45 minutes to the one that does. Edit: And shipping is about a dollar cheaper going through TRU's eBay listing than their website. Edited February 23, 2015 by toy showdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Apologies if this was already discussed, but the promotional pic on TRU's website shows X-O with a sculpted helmet. This is not the actual version being sold, correct? Or is this a different 2-pack than the one we saw previously with the tampo'd helmet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Sword & helmet got dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I'm more bummed about the sword. I never thought I'd like these figures as much as I do. XO, especially. He's fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 The included comic makes it seem like the sword is made of fire, I hope it comes out in some way as it's pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr baghead Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 So question to anyone who’s found these in stores: Have you seen them at more than one TRU? According to the In Store Locator, these have been available at a store about 90 minutes away (that would require commute over a toll bridge) for well over a week but so far none have shown up at any closer stores yet. I’m worried because it is a sold case of 12 these might be being sent one case per some sort of ‘zone’ and the farthest possible store will be the only one to get these in.

Onyx_6 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 So, I was inspecting the packs that I bought and noticed that one of my XO's has a peg-hole head. The others do not. Has anyone else seen this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 We already knew that though, didn't we? Zach said they have another set in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Once Set 2 is revealed, I think there will be increased demand for both Series 1 sets. I also run Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I knew that we were getting more, I just thought that this meant that we'd be getting those exact characters. The good thing about Valiant, is that you can have a themed 4-pack or 2-pack with most characters. Archer & Armstrong, Quantum & Woody + Goat-Dad, Armor Hunters 4-pack, etc... I just can't wait for more to be revealed, as Valiant is kicking all kinds of ass right know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 If you had told me in 2005 that in ten years we'd be talking about action figures based on current Valiant Comics, I'd have laughed so hard I'd have crapped my pants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 It'll be a two-pack, and you mentioned at least one of the characters, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Once Set 2 is revealed, I think there will be increased demand for both Series 1 sets.So this second pack will include X-O's sculpted helmet and sword as bonus accessories?
