It might be "old news" but I missed it the first time. This is very exciting, especially being Gen 2 and having multiple arms and such for multiple poses. A "must have" indeed.

I didn't notice that you have multipose options on this set. That will be way cool!!

Paul you're right! This has actually been posted twice but If it doesn't have a big yellow NEWS! next to it from JimR I don't pay too much attention to announcements. He just posted an official NEWS today which is the first time I saw it. And Jim didn't think we appreciated him!!

Lol - making me feel all warm and fuzzy! :-)

The reason I delayed the story for a couple of days was the hope of getting hold of some half-decent images of the U.S. set rather than the rather 'fuzzy' line-drawings.

The multipose option means that they include an extra pair of arms for each figure - this now seems to be standard for ALL the GenTwo figures now. This (stating the obvious) means that it's a good idea to buy them four boxes at a time. It would also be a good idea investing in several packs of these:

Hi,

Hey this Edouard set looks really cool.
I didn't know they produce PE in color !!??
But maybee of topic, but I guess this insigna are really tinies... I must be a real pain in the a.. to curve them to fit the arms of the figures. I do a lot of 1/35 figs, and lot of them have curves on the top of their arms. In this case I rather like to use transfers...

Best,
Julien

Julien, in fact they aren't - they have managed to do them sufficiently flexible (and avoid 'cracking') so they are simple to apply....
