toobusy Bundle Get

The toobusy reference flow hands everything around in a TOOBUSY_BUNDLE - one wire carrying images, audio, prompts and LoRA picks from the Reference Board onward. That's tidy, but sometimes you just want one image out of it: the character reference, the face card, the outfit. toobusy Bundle Get is the minimal version of Bundle Unpack for exactly that. Instead of seventeen sockets you don't need, it gives you a role dropdown and three outputs.

How it works

You connect the bundle and pick a role from the dropdown - nineteen roles covering character_a through character_d, face_a/face_b, outfit_a/outfit_b, pose_a, background_a, style_a, prop_a, and a handful more. It pulls that role's image out of the bundle payload and hands it to you, along with the role name as a string and a note that falls back to the card's prompt if there's no explicit note. If the role is empty in the bundle, you get a blank image rather than an error - so it's safe to wire up before the bundle is fully populated.

The image output is the thing you'll use 95% of the time: grab face_a from a bundle and feed it to an IP-Adapter or a detailer, or pull outfit_a and use it as a reference on its own. The note output is the quiet convenience - if your Reference Board card had a prompt note on it, this is how you get that text out alongside the pixels.

Outputs

• image - the card image for the selected role.
• role - the role string, handy as a label or for logic.
• note - the card's note, falling back to its prompt.

Install and gotchas

Pack install is the same as the rest of the toobusy nodes: ComfyUI Manager search "toobusy", or git clone https://github.com/nicekriss/toobusy into custom_nodes, then restart. No optional dependencies - the bundle type ships with the pack.

The only real gotcha is knowing that this node reads, it doesn't pick. The bundle defines what's in each role slot; the dropdown here can't move a card from character_b to character_a. If you're getting a blank image, the fix is upstream - check the Reference Board actually populated that role before you blame the getter. And if you find yourself reaching for this node repeatedly on the same bundle, you probably want Bundle Unpack instead, which dumps every role at once and skips the dropdown. Bundle Get is the scalpel; Unpack is the toolbox.
