PREORDER ACQUIRED: Billy Omega!



Look, they didn’t give him a name. I agree it’s weird.Officially, this is BigBadWorkshop’s Agents Of Omega: Legends Of THe Serpent Temple, an absolute riff in 6” scale on GI Joe Adventure Team, complete with comic story and animal monster - in this case, a snake.

He comes with the usual array of BigBad type accessories. Oddly, he has a hole in his back for a backpack but no backpack. I assume this is for future mix-and-match or to give him a jetpack now.

He does have the old-style ratchet joints in the elbows and knees, which is funny since he shipped early without them and Tuxmonkey shipped hella late and has them. I don’t know if it’s a choice for Agents of Omega or just a production thing.

The snake is, unfortunately, a slug. I would have loved even a ball joint at the “neck”  and/or a hinged jaw, but at the original preorder price (it jumped 10 by the time it shipped) I ain’t mad. At least it’s a good, useful snake pose.

He also has two hads for what are clearly two different white dudes, which is nice and also unhelpful because I’ll probably never want to put the head that doesn’t look a bit like young William Shatner on him. Hence “Billy Omega”.

I’m pretty happy with the “temple in the distance” background I built out of two other pics.
