Yes there are holes in the heads and pegs in the helmets that plug into those holes.

The Pro Builder Expedition set really is the closest thing i think we are going to get to Starcom returning. It looks great.

I thought CoD was starting to slow down. I was wrong. There are a lot of good looking sets on the way.

And an "enemy" for those of you who wanted Nazi stand ins.

What would be the best/recommended way to remove the camo face paint on the CoD Heroes?
Series 1 Price also has some on his arms.

Maybe a magic eraser? Heard it works on Transformer tampos

Oh and those space figures are awesome! Wish you could buy them alone, though the vehicle does look cool

That check point set looks pretty cool.
That officer in black does look the part. Maybe we'll get troopers in gray and black for him to lead.

Considering the new CoD game features a heavy WWII aspect these new figures aren't that surprising to me.

StarCOM!!! Oh man, now I'm going to go further into these things.

They even have division insignias on their chests like the old Starcom figures.

Between COD being like GI Joe and now the Pro Builder set being like Starcom I can't help but to be further convinced the designers were 80's kids.

Get some of these and stick them in their feet and you even have the magnalock action.

How's availability for you guys?
Since Mattel bought MB, they don't seems as available as they used to.
I see plenty of the Pokemon line, but very few new items of the other lines like CoD, Halo or Destiny.

I saw on Instagram that Wave 7 of the Halo Heroes has been announced and stores around here are still stuck with remnants of wave 3 and 4 and there still no signs of the MC Heroes line outside of the US nor or the CoD series 2.

Both Target and WM have cut back on the shelf space they give MB but I don't think it's Mattel-related. Brickplay as a whole seems to have peaked and passed and MB suffers more due to their 'also ran' reputation. MB really needs to become more like ImagiNext to thrive, imho; but that's a problem for Mattel since they also own that line.

My grocery store has a toy department and they used to have a decent selection, but the only MC lines that they have are Despicable Me, Pokemon and some American Girl sets.
TRU and Walmart don't seem to have restocked for the Holidays either.

Target has nothing now; maybe a 4' section of shelf for all their MB offerings. Wal-Mart is a bit better, but they keep moving the MB around to different sections (last time I was there, the MB stuff was with the Hot Wheels and other cars, instead of with the other brick toys).

I only found one set of the CoD wave 2 and snatched them all up. That was over a month ago. I lucked out the other day and found 3 aliens and marines. Those sold pretty quick on eBay. It's strange there has not been any restock of the figures because they sold really well around here.

I'm thinking they weren't really produced in great numbers as they were a bit of a risk for them, character-wise. It's them turning to focus more on being an action figure line than a brickplay line, imho.
