The Rumbler is kind of crap. No interior at all. All 3 wheels are only detailed on 1 side and the armor/weapons fit poorly and will require mods.

This is my plan to make it useful. It will require extensive mods to make the additional legs fit as well as the tail, and I will need to fashion an interior for it.

Thanks for reviews. Did you order these ones or find them in the wild? I think the bugs look really fun.

All were found in the wild.

The bugs are my favorite figures in the line, they are so much fun :)

You are very welcome as always!

You know my reviews are always honest and take a number of factors into consideration as well as multiple viewpoints (collector, customizer, kid) so as to give the best impression of the product possible.

I know these are just $1.25 toys, but the Rumbler's shortcomings are heartbreaking after seeing how much bang for your buck everything else in the line is giving consumers.

I forgot to post this yesterday.

When I happened upon the 2 unopened cases of Perimeter Defense figures yesterday, 1 of the Crawler 2pks fell right off of the card as it was barely glued down, resulting in an almost perfect unblemished card back. There is only a very slight blemish about .5" under the FACTION portion of the logo in the upper left.

Kind of cool.

That is interesting. I remember for CV they were giving away TVC Carbacks that were pristine. I think I still have some of those somewhere. I though it was a nice giveaway.

Assorted diorama needs.

Sadly, small creatures are kind of ignored now by most major action figure lines, but luckily, "Final Faction" is picking up some of that slack :)

Looks like I have to start hunting at Dollar Tree again!

The 3rd wave of "Final Faction" accessory sets have been found in Portland, OR.

I will be passing on the Rampage set (1st pictured in the new set post) as it is hollow and only armors the.front of the figure :(

Well you win some and you loose some with this line. For the price it is still a sure winner though.
