Yeah, thing of it is, I would've wanted to have kept the figures "as is". AdrienVeidt just pretty well confirmed what I suspected. If it had just been one or two from the display that I saw, that's one thing. But ALL of them?

And I don't think a lower price excuses this sort of sloppiness. For one thing, I've seen this sort of fiasco from the larger companies. For another, Lanard hasn't always or even often been guilty of it. There IS no excuse.

I realize these are "just" toys, but I'm getting tired of encountering this sort of thing. Toys are still the primary products of toy companies, and they should be more careful with their products.

And while I'm sure it's easy to brush this off as just "cheap toys" or just a lack of quality control across the board these days, or just how things are, I would expect that most of you are no happier with a generally diminished quality and attentiveness than I am. And in this specific case, would it have really been THAT hard or THAT expensive for Lanard to get it RIGHT?

Okay, I'll stop with the speech. But I am getting tired of this sort of thing.

Is the left eye , which is slightly lower, painted on the cheek with the eye indentation of the sculpt being unpainted or is the actual location of the eye on the sculpt lower?

Crazy...outside of Toy Nutz one image i still can't see the imbalance but in that one with the Puma head on the MU body it's stark and abundantly clear. Still...it's a nice looking figure.

Stopped by WM today in the high desert. They had singles packs and the mechs, but no females.
Mechs looked kinda cool, but not worth the price for me.

I asked and expert in girls make-up (my 16 year old daughter) what was wrong with the eyes on the Punk girl. She gave me some big long drawn own spill, lost me half way through, but basically said whoever did her eyes made them look like tear drops instead of cats eyes. Then she said let me show you, at this point I was like you are not putting make up on me but she fixed the eye on the figure, she also pointed out that they needed to at lead put a little paint to hint at the other eye. She also said red heads should have green eyes for whatever that's worth, anyways here are the pics.

I must give he credit. The eye does look a lot better, I think.

It's like I tell them at school (I work with special education and mostly kindergarten), we write it like it sounds and get that finger out of your nose.

I Emailed Lanard when I saw them to thank them for finally making a female figure. I watched a youtube video where a guy reviewed on and he said there was a mech and I asked Lanard in my emial where I could find a picture they emailed me back... Here is the email

"Dear Corps! fan,

Thank you for your enquiry and interest in our newest release of Corps! Elite. This special range of product is available exclusively at Walmart stores and is currently being rolled out in the majority of their outlets.

The new female figures are only available in the 3 pack set and at Walmart stores.

- Nasha Raven “Snakebite”- primary skills…tactical knife combat / kaboeta blackbelt

- Aella Ramos “Puma”- primary skills…nerve strike combat / tactical archery

- The new Mech EXO Battle Suit pictured in the attached will also be available at larger Walmart Stores shortly.

Thank you for your various suggestions all of which will be shared with our product development team. The new 6 inch. Super Soldiers which sell for under $4.- will soon be on most Walmart store shelves as well. Our Corps! and Corps! Elite website is being updated and will be available shortly as well.

Thank you for your interest.

Sincerely,

Customer Service

Lanard Toys Ltd.

Thank you so much for the new figure line with the female figures. Someone posted a video on YouTube about it. They said they saw a mech too. I was wondering if you could direct me where I could veiw a picture of of it

I love your line of action figures 3-4inch tall. Is it possible to buy the new female figures without the three pack Walmart has? I have multiple of those figures now and would gladly pay a little more then the two dollars Walmart is charging for single figures to buy some of these figures without another figure with limited articulation and a figure I have ten of already


picture I'm attaching is a collage of the picture I took of the three pack for my YouTube video and the two they sent in the email. The guy on the YouTube video said he saw some sigma sux looking figures too.
