Saw these the other day on Little Weirdos and decided to go and pick some up today at TRU. They didn't have the 8 packs or even a place for them from what I could see, so I opted for 6x 4packs since there were 6 different visible figures and 2x single pack cans. The first can I opened had an ultra rare clear Bone Cracker which was my most wanted from the checklist so mega score there. The second single can also had an Ultra rare. The 4 packs were a 50/50 split of clear and painted figures and I only ended up with one double after opening all of the packs. 

 

Here's the haul:

Thanks, I've read that he hasnt been known to have been pulled yet within the collectors circles; although that may have changed by now. He is easily one of the best figures imo. I was really happy to have pulled him.

I've only got one double out of 6x 4pks and 2z singles. It's nice that they seam to be doing a good job spreading the figures out. One of my biggest turn offs to collecting random figures is getting massive amounts of doubles right off the bat. I collected Mage Knight figures for a while and remember getting doubles within my first two packs. I wrote the company expressing my displeasure and eventually stopped collecting because of the ridiculous amount of duplicates. I get that its random-ish but it gets to the point of money grubbing after a while.

 Yeah he kinda reminds me of spy vs spy... with jet wings. Not my favorite of the bunch, but still pretty cool. I'm more of a monster/mutant/alien kinda guy.

Wow, I was in a TRU and stumbled across these. haven't been to the forums forever, and when i found these stopped here to either let everyone know about them or see what the word was. personally i like them... a lot. Total GEEK moment that took me back to my childhood of M.U.S.C.L.E.S when I found them I am of the Ray Harryhuasen/Bradbury school of never growing up and loving wrestling/monster/sci-fi/fantasy in that order. This are the cat's meows. Color is nice, and the non-translucents are my faves. Plus the spine gives them just enogh articulation the MUSCLES never had. Basically they are the next stage in evolution of thiese type of figs. The old muscle ring usually broke before before the wrestlers lost the match. These is like MUSCLES mixed with Bop Em Sock EM Robots, plus customization if that's you thing. SOme of the sculpts are beyond cool. Have been lukewarm on Moose really, but this is the homerun they have been lloking for, IMO. Made me feel like I was 10 again.

They arent MIMPS or M.U.S.C.L.E. but they are pretty darn awesome. They are the best thing along that vain to come along for quite a while though. I really enjoyed opening them one by one to see what I got. I love small random pack stuff like that!

I loved Army ants as a kid and thought the same thing about one of my figures that has a similar head. I need to get some old Army Ants back into my collection one of these days.

Here's my first pull from an 8 pack and 1 single can. Really like the different sculpts, especially the brutal beasts.

Does the snake-man come in all of the 8-packs or something? It seems like absolutely everyone pulls him.

bought my nephew one of the can single figures. he ended up pulling a clear  bug guy from his can.  kinda interested in getting some more, they aren't as bad as i originally thought they were. Since its moose i guess there are certain figures you will only be able to get in the single cans and not in the actual packs?  I just don't want this to end up like other lines of theirs when it comes to the harder to get figures. (rare series 1 figs not coming out til wave 2 or 3).

These are on Sale today for 25% off which is better than the buy one get one 40% off but it ends today. I'm still holding back on buying any since Moose has withheld figures like usual.

Nice write up. I think you pretty much nailed my feelings on the line, except I gave up on it after a couple of packs.
