First out of the box.

Post by Jimbobx »

Some figures arrived for me today (a sealed 8 pack of Wave 11 Revision 4) and look who was first out of the box...

To the uninitiated that is a Clear blue Variant of 'Wraith'.
Its not rare rare or anything as a quick search on ebay tuned up 5 of them. But still - Open the box there is your variant - I was impressed.
I just wanted to share my glee with folks who understand as I have to say the missus was fairly non-plussed about the whole thing :)

Nice! Are you gonna open him?

I've got the normal one and the only problem are the gun linkages on his arms are a bit frail.

it's always good to get your prize as it were, especially when you've chased here there and everywhere for one.

To tell you the truth. I'll probably leave him MOC and sell him on as I much prefer the normal one.

I'm sorry about that, dude.
If I had any cigars I'd crack them open in sympathy...but I'd have to smoke them in the garden wearing marigolds and then gargle a few pints of listerine before the wife gets back.
I'm a *ahem* non-smoker now you see.

the wife smokes, but she's not too keen on the smell of cigars so i'll probably get moaned @ 2mrw, but i might just get rid of the butt & deny all knowledge!

What gets me about the Wraith figure is the way they call him Mercenary Wraith it's on his stand and filecard to instead of just Wraith to me it would be like calling Destro Arms Dealer Destro or even Firefly Mercenary Firefly we know what he is it doesn't have to be added to his name like that. :roll:
