No, the backpack is not removable; it is adhered to the straps of the belt that go over the shoulders.

@juicyfruit8640 There's quite a few brands that make 1/12 scale horses, but they cost more, I guess because of the larger scale, but it also depends on the brand. I saw some really good horses made by Fish Toys (D20 Studio); they're just very expensive. I just don't collect 1/12 scale to help narrow my collections a bit.

My Grandfather was one of those soldiers; Not a Russian soldier, but a U.S. Army Machine Gunner. I also had a couple Great Uncles in the Marines. All of them were in the Pacific during the war. I'm told my Grandfather never talked about the war though.

@lokilockness2970 Sounds neat. I haven't dabbled in painting yet but I recently picked up a set of acrylic paints to try.

@@jjadedjjan Likewise.

@@rjacob1857 Thank you.

@@000spacecadet Vitruvian H.A.C.K.S. also recently came out with a pretty good Roman Legionary figure in the classic armor as well.

@000spacecadet Yeah, the secondary market for joytoy figures jumps quickly as soon as they sell out. The 21st century toys vehicles I felt were worth it so long as you can get a deal on them, and it's something you really like.

@@heartlessspartan its brutal the pricing,i think the ebay sellerof the kubel wagon did give a decent discount and i dooo like.

@@000spacecadet I appreciate you watching. Have fun collecting!

@piptizzle11 LOL! You know, I am a middle school teacher...

Also, you were pointing at the clues on the instruction sheet multiple times! The clues are the little Skullette with the blue image inside of it. You literally don’t even need the key that’s why the clues are useless because they do nothing.

@Ghoulvara LOL, I still tried for the video. I liked the lens it came with, but the execution of what to do turned out lame.

@@mteresastoa4896 I wouldn't feel bad about passing on this one. I have no clue what to do with mine now. I don't have the room for it!

@Vitalito0109 Yes, I have The Fearbook Toralei and will be reviewing her in the next couple of weeks. She's in the queue for review and looks really cool!

I agree, the weapon choices are a bit odd or uncommon. The scoped rifle for certain felt more out of place, but the PPSH shows up in a lot of media like video games and movies. Which I can see why they included the PPSH. All three of the army builder figures I recently reviewed I also felt should have come with a more common standard issue rifle instead.

@josiahthibodeaux I think facepool has only released Richard Winters and Buck Compton from Easy Company so far. I don't think DiD has released any "Band of Brothers" figures yet. Though multiple companies have released a variety of other 101st Airborne Division figures.

@@Rob-z7k Cool. Yeah, the range of uses for these horses is pretty great.

@@heartlessspartan i just ordered one off Aliexpress for $23

That'll be interesting. I'll have to think hard about that one because I have the 6 inch Ghostbusters but I don't really collect in that scale anymore. Plus I back the Star Wars Vintage Collection Haslabs... hmm, I'll have to ponder that for a while if it does show up as a Haslab.

@tigerclaw4537 I have a Hotwheels 1/18 Ecto 1, but I don't think it was to proper scale. I couldn't fit action figures in it. It was a bit smaller than I would have liked. I was disappointed at the time but still enjoyed the die-cast model. I can't say if it's the same one you're thinking of though. Unfortunately it's buried in my storage room, so I can't take a quick comparison photo. I'm glad you liked the review!

@plumjade You'll get no argument from me, the werecats are cute!

@LUC66631 Sometimes when we inspect something much more closely it turns out different than we imagined it to be. The combat fatigues the paratroopers wore were exceptionally baggy to begin with. Often, shrinking things down to scale can get hard for the manufacturer, but I saw no issues here besides the netting on the helmet. Otherwise, it's not a waste of money for me, I rather enjoy these types of figures.

@malcolmsoh5648 I don't think it can be disassembled without breaking it. The only interactive piece I found was the loading mechanism, and that was a pretty good detail to have even that. If they made them on the level of detail to disassemble it like an actual garand it would be quite expensive and even more difficult to do at that scale.

@@heartlessspartan I thought since the receiver part of the Garand is made of metal, you could actually disassemble it.

@malcolmsoh5648 It doesn't have any internal detail, even the clip I put in it just sort of dropped loosely into a pit under that spring slide and somewhat bounced around in there. I really can't say if it can be taken apart, but I'm fairly sure that would likely just be breaking the rifle. So if you were looking to set up a scene of a character breaking down and cleaning their rifle, I don't think you'll get that with this.

Honestly I’m surprised did didn’t do that with this particular figure, they usually go all out with details like that. If you are looking for a 1/6 m1 Garand that can be disassembled, I think solder story made a couple figures with the m1 rifle, that offer that feature. Also a 1/6 company called ti-lite used to sell an m1 rifle that can be broken down completely.

@blueberry_ghoulfriend It was extremely helpful actually! It hadn't occurred to me that the theme for the black cat would be bad luck, LOL! I I really like that idea. This is the first I've caught news about any drama delaying the show. That's too bad. As a matter of fact it seems the last couple of years each time I find a toy line I really like it stops dead in the water. Hopefully Mattel keeps it going.

I thought it was odd that Cleo's heart would've been removed. The ancient Egyptians believed it held the spirit and that it was most important to actually leave that in the body. It was necessary for the weighing of the heart in order to pass into the underworld. So to see her have it in a canopic jar raised some questions, but it makes sense that she would keep it close to her.

@kerrie9479 Mattel did a good job with that one. It looked really nice and there was nothing that looked out of place, her outfit and accessories looked great!

@@heartlessspartan yeah her hair seems a little thin but nice

@Alexardelean89 I appreciate that, thank you! Though, I feel it hasn't picked up as much because I think it has a more informational presentation than an entertainment one. But my intention is to keep it all about the toys! So I wouldn't want to change that.

That answers that. Thanks. Unfortunately I don't think I'll have the time to get into the manga, plus I've been spending quite a bit on my figure collections... I have a tendency to lean toward light novel versions of the stories but I do like manga as well. I just never invested in a series of manga.

Thank you!

But I do wonder... this is more expensive than the ThreeZero Transformers MDLX. How is that possible. This should be easler to make than a Transformers?

@brianng8350 I'm thinking, maybe because the Transformers MDLX would involve tooling and painting and most of the cost would be tooling. I think the cloth outfits that need to be handmade drive the cost up for these 1/6 scale figures, and I don't really know how much more or less tooling is involved for either to compare them too closely. Plus any import or IP expenses.

@AirglamGuru Thanks, sometimes I'm recording and trying to get through everything quickly so the videos aren't absurdly long. This one still ended up being 40 minutes. I did look more closely at the list on the side of the box after the fact which was kinda funny. But I didn't know about the hand numbered web edition you mentioned.

@ericmarin2036 I've been able to order them online from Walmart still here in the States but so far Walmart has been the only place I've been able to get Catty.

@@heartlessspartan I think that might change within due time but we will just wait, and see thanks for responding to me enjoy your day.

@@ericmarin2036 I agree, sometimes it's just a matter of waiting for the other retailers to get stock in. Likewise, have a good one!

Cool, and welcome! Things have been picking up a little now that I've more time to do a variety of reviews.
