That is awesome!
I didn't know a MASH playset even existed, that is super-cool! I wish someone made something like that today; having a Joe-scale set that wasn't just about combat would be a lot more acceptable to my wife. Honestly wish there was more search-and-rescue stuff at 3-3/4" Joe scale, too.
Does it come with Hawkeye’s still???
My favorite thing about that set is that they featured it at 1:1 scale to the toy in the comics.
I kind of like concept Rumble. He feels to me very much like a generic Season 1 background Decepticon. Basically, he's this guy:
He doesn't transform so much as he compacts, but that's fine for what he is. Not my favorite figure by any means, but not terrible.

This is so trippy because I guess that's Colonel Potter on the left, but he almost looks more like Father Mulcahy than Mulcahy does. Looking at pics of these figures on line and the facial sculpts are really impressive - better than Kenner Star Wars for the most part!
Dying Ratchet from the 2-pack with dying Brawn.

Target exclusive, but apparently in the main SS86 line instead of Buzzworthy Bumblebee since the latter is going under.

I want to know who keeps approving these 'characters being ******* killed' releases lol.
SS86 mold for Ratchet & Ironhide isn't that great, the robot modes look good but the vehicle modes aren't great, the panel for the front of the vehicle mode doesn't settle into place properly upon my copies
I have an easier time with that on the Dead Ironhide and his non-clear plastics, then I do his living self.
Assuming this still sees a 2-pack release with the same sort of accessory pack-in as Ironhide/Prowl, I'm just gonna want the blast effects. I managed to get the Ironhide/Prowl pack for well below retail here -- blast effects, an opaque-plastic Prowl I could frankencustom up with Siege and Earthrise, and a first copy of the Ironhide mold whose headsculpt can pass for angry rather than dying. Now I just need a 3d printed non-broken windshield or something.
But this... Don't need Brawn, and I'm keeping Earthrise/Odyssey Ratchet over SS86, and even if I were getting the SS86 it'd be the standalone Voyager. So it's down to the blast effects, which (like the RID2015 clear plastic armor bits) I've grown distractingly fond of.

Me, Swoop, see nothing!! 
About time we saw some images of this missing Dinobot

I like this Swoop, but I'm still not crazy about the weapon situation. So we have to get comic Grimlock to get swords for all of them, Snarl's sword won't match the rest, and Snarl still doesn't get his gun. I think I'm going to just skip all that and hope there's some 3P set that gives them all a consistent set of weapons.
For the PotP Dinobots, I was all over Red Swoop. I was actually a bit upset that retail Swoop had a blue chest, given how toy-centric everything else was. For this set though, I'm happy enough to have a blue-chested Swoop. I'm not sure I'd get a red Swoop if they make it. I still wouldn't be happy with the set at that point without a black-headed, red-horned Slag, and I don't think I'd be willing to buy another two Leaders just to have a toy-colored set of cartoon Dinobots.

I'm more than fine with this Swoop. I've wanted a black robot mode head for Slug, and the nonnef kit seems like the best way to get that, but it's an expense I don't need right now and I'm not terribly pining for it.
Be nice if a kit came with just swords for all of them. Maybe now that they've made some cash on individual kits they'll consider it.
