But I'm a bit confused. Instead of having a removable Huginn and Muninn, there's a pair that are attached to him and unremovable and a pair that are... not attached at all. They have different poses and facial expressions but since we know they wouldn't go through with having one set that detaches and has articulation, they could at least do two sets that detach? And why are Huginn's eyes blue on the one that isn't attached?

thats kinda stupid for them to be attached to him and have a set detached. gonna suck for play ability too

Yeah it's like... if you want to have the Baron bare-shouldered for ANY REASON, you literally have to cut his pets off of him. And then they don't go back on.

I have no clue about the blue eyes on the one. I’m guessing just playmates doing their own thing

Has anyone else had an issue with not receiving the pizza points paper in their sealed figures?? And if so, what do we do?

I have. Did you buy them somewhere other then walmart? In my experience the Pizza points only come in walmart figures. I tried contacting playmates but the pizza points website email doesn’t work and they haven’t responded to the regular one.

Browne762 · 11-26-2018, 09:26 AM

I have gotten them in products from Target.

I also will say that contacting their customer service through email is not very effective. I had an issue and they said they would figure it out and email me back.... They never did email me back and didn't respond to a follow up email. Meanwhile I have no clue if they fixed my issue.

I would try to Facebook message them to see if there is a specific person to get a hold of. They respond to FB messages pretty quick (like most places) because they (like more people) are afraid of bad social media comments.

Yes, I may have gotten these two from Target. Disappointing as I would like to get Muckman from the redemption club thing :-/

I will try the FB messenger and see if that works, thanks for the suggestion! I'll respond back if it gets resolved.

i bought one from Target that advertised the pizza points and nothing was inside. didnt really care it was only one figure i opened

mikey see · 11-26-2018, 09:21 PM

I got a response from toys@playmatestoys.com. They asked for a picture of my receipt so they could credit it me my missing points. We'll see if that actually happens, but at least I seem to be getting somewhere.

*VaughnMichael* · 11-26-2018, 10:12 PM

I'm really shocked that wave 2 hasn't hit stores before Christmas.
All of the Targets around me here in Pittsburgh are pretty much sold out of basic figures. Wal-Mart on the other hand is collecting dust.

*Leo656* · 11-26-2018, 10:20 PM

Opposite in central NJ. Target's figures are peg-warming but the WalMart stock gets re-stocked frequently.

This kinda thing honestly fascinates me. Regional trends, and all that.

Playmates has always been overly fond of releasing new product for the first of the year. Usually we will see a very limited number of sightings right at Christmas if some stores/regions sell through the existing stock fast enough. And given that DVD just posted photos from overseas, that seems to be the schedule that we will see again this year.

~~Kenwatanabesclone~~ · 11-27-2018, 08:29 AM

My target is selling out of them every time they get stocked. There’s only a Baron Draxum and April left almost every time.

BlueKatana · 11-27-2018, 09:38 PM

I’m surprised these don’t appear to be restocked at most Targets but Walmart seems to replenish at least the Turtles regularly. April seems kind of rare at this point.

I've noticed that too. Might be a Collector's Item candidate!

*Leo656* · 11-27-2018, 10:18 PM

I see tons of Aprils, everywhere.

This is amazing.

That's exactly why I'm surprised no one has them yet.

It's still November. When I say that we may see some start to show up right at Christmas, I'm talking about the first sightings showing up around the 20th of December.

*Hero* · 11-29-2018, 07:23 AM

I have this set. Its out in the UK as an Argos exclusive. Currently only £23.99.

The figures are pretty much the same as before. The Argos listing implied these 'Most detailed figured ever' might be the SDCC variants. They're not.

Good value set though!
