    has anyone opened GA from the May17 release?

    I am curious as to any body updates on this newer GA release.

    If anyone has one that is open; do these have the lurching issues the 1st wave had with the bodies?

    If you have pulled the jumpsuit off, does the pelvis have the female connector pin towards the front or towards the bum. The following pics are of the two different pelvis' I have found. On both pics the bum is facing to the left.



    Or - is it an entirely different pelvis altogether. Just curious to see the running mods and revisions to this body. My guess is that this 'release' of GA will have the second version of the pelvis which had the female end of the pin on the bum side.

    I don't know for sure if these Green Arrows are from a different run or are part of
    the first run - just shipped at a later date.

            hiya bizz,

            no need to pull him from the card if you were not planning on it. I am just really curious as to how the running upgrades to this body are playing out.

            thanks

                thanks Jason.

                That is interesting. That looks to be the first version of the pelvis. I am going to guess that you do not have the lurching issues with your GA figure. How is the tension on the center elastic?

                  My GA stands straight and tall. No lurching and not too much tension. Much better than the other Wave One figures.

                    yes, that first version of the pelvis worked better than the one used for the Wave 1 figures. So, either Mattel has gone back to that mold, or the GA were all part of one batch that was split into more than one part for websales. Not quite sure why they would hold a portion of the production run of GA back, but that is what I would guess.

                    It will be interesting to see what pelvis mold will be on the W2 figures.

                    thanks again for the pic

                      That's something they've done with other lines before. There isn't a real reason, although some have speculated it's to create false hysteria over the figures. IE: OMG they're sold out, I have to buy them instantly when I get the chance.

                      Either way, I assume these are all from that original run.
