Here we are with another FSS, this time with a combiner theme. Needlenose is a double Targetmaster and a great update to the late G1 figure. The paint details pop, I especially like the metallic blue used for the nosecone. There is some tolerance issues with the grips on the Targetmasters, but nothing too bad. I'm excited to see how the other figures turn out.

He's been delayed for supposedly a month or so, in order to rework the head mechanics at the last minute.

I'm actually thinking now. I'm at the hospital with newborns, but my boss dropped off Needlenose today, and my mom said I had a package when she stopped to feed the fish for me. I have no other outstanding orders with anyone except Ramjet, remaining 4.0, and the UW Galvatron (just paid today). So it should be Ramjet.

Congrats on the "Newborns" (plural?) but got bad news for you. They're no longer MIB.

I don't know enough to say it's impossible that it's Ramjet, but I'm extremely doubtful. I honestly don't think FunPub themselves have Ramjet yet.

Second, what the heck is "ZPUTTY" supposed to mean? How is it pronounced? What's the proper capitalization? Your new name is a mess, Zigzag

Can you post a scan of it? "New heads on instruction" usually show pretools, and in Firefly's case no doubt it's Slingshot. Still, one can never know.

I'd say Zputty's new name is...

I just tried that, but I couldn't get it to work. The holes you're talking about are there, but they're not really in a useful or accessible place.

I don't mind names changing, it's just that "Zputty" utterly baffles me. Where did it come from? What does it mean?
