Is she anything more than an unknown character from a not yet released video game, without any established history or characterization ? It seems to me like Wraith all over again. Anyone remember Wraith ? No, I didn't think so.

ALL THAT ASIDE SHE IS THE BEST DESIGNED FEMALE FIGURE OF ALL THE ROC ONES......... UPDATE THE NUMBER 2; G I HIT THAT 3RD TARGET LAST NIGHT AND THEY HAD JACK S%@#T!!! IF YOU WANT TO HOLD OFF TILL LATER TONIGHT I'LL GO TO TOYS R US AFTER WORK TODAY THERE ARE 2 NEAR ME ONE IS 10 MINS FROM WORK SO IT'S NO BIGGY. ON A TOTALY DIFFERENT NOTE: I RECOMEND PASSING ON THAT NEW DRAGONHAWK YUCK I OPEND THE BOX TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND BOOOOOOOY IS THAT THING SMALL, IT'S SUPER SMALL ONLY MADE SMALLER WITH THE FACT IT FITS ONE PILOT WHO WILL FLOP AROUND IN IT CAUSE THE COCKPIT IS TO LARGE FOR SUCH A SMALL VEHICLE. IT'S LIKE THE FANG OF GI JOE. BUT THATS MY OPINION __________________ MY FLICKR PAGE......

I even use him in my current dio. Just cuz I remember him doesn't mean I LIKE the guy. But anyway... you know how female figures tend to work. A lot of people go after them cuz they are usually made in a smaller number than MOST figures. (ie; Duke, SE, etc.) I'm guessing that a lot of people like the fact she may not have a history so they can do what they want with her. I bet if Lehsreh gets his hands on her, Clutch will be all over in a dio!

I don't think she'll be hard to fine, it's just an example of how Hasbro set up ROC so confusing with waves and collections that it's just going to be difficult. Some stores still don't even have ROC out on the pegs/shelves yet, others are already a wave beyond the Helix line.

And she is a niche character, but than again she's also a female character. In this line being female is a rarity, so that increases the demand slightly.

Is for constructive criticism (will even settle for destructive) just anything but "Nice shot" or "Awesome".

Sonneilon aka 'Paul WS Anderson' ;) Offline --> Posts: 7,751 --> Join Date: Jul 2005	When I finally found the movie figures, it had been picked over pretty well. ANd this was wave1. There were desert dukes, Destro, SE, SS and a NeoViper. That was it. I bought up all the Dukes and 2 weeks later, it's just Destro along w/ the cheapo vehicles. There was NO sign of the Pit Commandos and most places online are sold out (including Helix). It'd be nice if these were easier to find but alas, not really up here.

Death_at_Midnight Cobra R & D Offline --> Posts: 4,001 --> Join Date: Nov 2008	:-( Well, I got bad news to report: the Target and TRU both are sold out of Helix. They had a bunch on Monday, now none. Went to Walmart in the hopes they would have but they are down to eight ROC, seven Zartan's and one Breaker. Spoke to the Target folks because they were redoing the toy section. They told me they are expanding the action figures, to try back next week because tomorrow they are getting a shipment in, but won't get to put them on the shelves until maybe Wednesday. TRU is also getting another truck on Wednesday, but I'll check with them again on Saturday. __________________ ~~~{==========- Death at Midnight -==========}~~~

Scuba Steve lives in armored pinapple Offline --> Posts: 2,840 --> Join Date: Jan 2009	Been online dealing with Insurance and reserching the next car, and couldn't resist checking in! I will keep an eye out also but my Helix is the only one I have seen around town so far. I am looking for pit commando and one more crimson viper so chances are if I find them I'll find a Helix! __________________
