CSTT9 finally hit my local TRU today. (Nanuet NY) So I picked up the second British Bulldogs set I had wanted to get. After tax it was $25 & some change...did they raise the price again? I won't post the pre fixup loose pics as I did that a few days ago here - www.pointsofarticulation.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=38031#38031 And here's my quick fixups. I switched Dynamite's arms to the smaller/shorter RA arms. (CW arms) and added socks stripes and painted the boot tongues red to both. (I still want to add the stripes to the toes like the CS20 Dynamite's) I also gave Dynamite the old Knee pads and cut off Davey Boy's braids. I still want to rescuplt the back of his hair, but I don't have anymore sculpty. Dynamite - My Dynamite Kid Army - Davey Boy -

Sweet, nice job on the cutting. They did raise the price. CSTT 8 was $19.99

When I oredered them on-line last week they were $21.99 each, but there's no way there should have been $2.50 + in tax today unless they raised the $21.99 price.

They look a million times better now, really good infact. It wouldn't have been hard for Jakks to make them as good as you got them there.

Nice quick and easy fix up. DB Smith look better with the short hair.

God I hate that Davey Boy head sculpt.... He looks mentally challenged..... It's too bad they couldn't use the new head that's going to be on his next singles figure....That being said, I will still pick this set up if I ever find it, because I love the attire...

Nice buy and fixups there PJ. I'm still going to wait for the CS single figs of Bulldog & Dynamite that are scheduled for CS23 or whatever it was.

It's incredible how much of an improvement it makes when you just add some detail to the boots/socks. God I hate that Davey Boy head sculpt.... He looks mentally challenged..... It's too bad they couldn't use the new head that's going to be on his next singles figure....That being said, I will still pick this set up if I ever find it, because I love the attire... I don't think it's so much the sculpt; every time I see this head it seems like the eyes are always painted a bit off. I think that might be what it is.

Thanks guys. Yes, I'll be buying those as well with an extra 2 Davey Boy figures so I can fix this set and my custom CS20 Davey Boy who is still head-less right now. But as you know from my CS wish list this is my favorite Bulldogs attire.

Awesome fix-ups PJ! The Bulldogs look alot better after the boot fix-up, it's crazy how much of a difference it makes. Good job with Davey Boy's hair too. +1 Rated R NinJa

Nice pickups and fixups! Quick question, does Dynamite's headscan have a painted skintone like his other figure?

PJ, Classic 2 packs @ my TRU are $22.99. Even with Max. Aggression on line there are $19.99 in store is $22.99 the lady told me there are cheaper on line but in equals out with shipping. Enjoy your new figures.

Nice pickups and fixups! Quick question, does Dynamite's headscan have a painted skintone like his other figure? People keep saying the head is painted, but my CS20 Dynamite kid was cast in flesh tone...and not painted flesh. And this looks to be the same. When I oredered them on-line last week they were $21.99 each, but there's no way there should have been $2.50 + in tax today unless they raised the $21.99 price.
