วีดีโอ

LOL Thanks for the kind words B-Rock. Appreciate you taking the time to watch & comment. I had to google Steve Harvey - he's clearly not the celeb over here than he is in the US. Fun fact - Family Feuds is called "Family Fortunes" over here :)

Yeah - think it over man. I'm less nostalgic about Alpine, so you might find those vibes help you settle into the figure better than I did.

He is. Although that's not entirely down to the figure, a part of that is the strong lighting I use in the lightbox that I film in.

@@MoDXtraGC ok gotcha. I was buying this anyway, but wasn't planning on pre-ordering Raptor until I saw your video, very helpful (and expensive💸💸💸)

LOL you're welcome. I hope your wallet won't hold me too to account :)

Sounds like we're in the same place with this one Eric. Dude's carting around so much gear, he needs a solution for it. Let me know when you make your mind up and what it was that swung you either way dude - always interested to hear. :)

Cool. You gonna pick one up?

And fudgie bars 👍🏿🍻

Absolutely :)

That's... really dark. Kinda wished you hadn't mentioned it LOL

@@MoDXtraGC ya but its kinda bad ass. Imagine how ruthless the damn dreadnocks would be in real life? They r probably a bunch of hired serial killers that cobra commander noticed and hired them for the most ruthless jobs

@@MoDXtraGC if I was part of the gi joe team before every mission I would ask if their was a chance road pig would be there an if so I would honestly take the day off. I would tell Duke I'm not feeling well.

LOL for sure. "I ain't fighting the dude who decorates his outfit with real skulls"! Did you read the Skybound series Cobra Commander? The Dreadnoks were definitely darker & edgier in that comic book than we've really seen proper before. There's a pretty dark torture scene and some mean-ass combat.

Yeah -although I did say that there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the head sculpt, just that it looks wide to me and folks mileage will vary depending on their desire for nostalgic accuracy. Definitely an "opinion" element on the review that. Curious to know what your reasons for passing are - let me know man, I'm always interested to hear?

@@MoDXtraGC no it was a great review. I wasn't necessarily even talking about your opinion on him but alot of comments about his face. Ok he looks like the alpine some fan made in his basement. That's honestly how I feel.

@@MoDXtraGC can u do a review on s shadow please 🙏 also just subscribed keep it up bro. How do u get all these figs so damn early

First - thanks for the sub! That's super cool - I really appreciate that man. Second - I'm going to end up leaving you disappointed friend because I've not ordered Storm Shadow - the V2 just wasn't singing to me :( Finally - on the early shipping - I made a vid on this a while ago but I'll give you the abbreviated version... Hasbro made the Classified line a Pulse exclusive here in the UK some time back and left the Friendly Local Independents in the lurch with it. As a solution a number of the independents chose to keep carrying the line and import them over from East Asia. (Indemandtoys, Props & Replicas, The Whole Shebang, Kapow Toys and Comics & Cocktails) I decided to keep shopping with & supporting the independents - which became a win-win-lose for me. Win = the stuff comes early from the East (which is handy for a ToyTuber like me). Win = I get a better level of service from the independents. Lose = it's costs a little more because the import costs are factored into their price.

Thanks :) I agree - the creature companions are done really well in Classified, and Rawkus continues the trend IMHO. Swing back around and let me know how you get on with him on Thursday man - would love to hear. :)

That's a spot on way to put it "not horrible, but a bit let down". That's it in a nutshell.

Right? And it's a bit hard to articulate quite what in a way.

LOL Yeah - we love the cheeky little references! Get on it Hasbro!

Fair. Me too a little. What did you find disappointing? (If you don't mind me asking?)

@@MoDXtraGC I think the head is completely off. Something about the overall aesthetics seems really off to me. For example, look at the GI Joe 25th Anniversary Alpine V5. I was hoping he would look more like that. The hat and glasses should not have been removable as well.

@@MoDXtraGC oh, and missing the backpack was a huge miss. It's kind of a stable for the character.

Cheers ToyOdyssey. I love to get the detail, y'know, get a feel for what folks in the community are thinking. Really appreciate you taking the time to swing back around and elaborate for me :)

I agree 100% It seems like such an odd omission.

LOL Just randomly interpreting packaging info LMAO

@@MoDXtraGC 🤣

Interesting. Why was that Matt? (If you don't mind me asking?) I'm always interested to know... :)

@@MoDXtraGC he didn’t impress me. And I really don’t have a connection to the character. The only mountaineer I want is hit and run. 😂

Oh yeah - I'd love to see what the Classified folks do with the big bag on a climbing rope! That would be awesome!

Thanks Flaffel. :)

Interesting. I was mulling over some kitbashing with some other heads. Worth a try. :)

Thank u.i kept skipping it and he was still on the damn package

Well... asides from the fact that the packaging section is so long on the Classified fig videos because I do a little "comedy" bit around the data card. (Comedy in speech marks because opinions will vary on that LOL) I put chapter marks in the vids that you are welcome to avail yourselves of. That's what they are there for. :)

Thanks so much aaron. Appreciate ya as always my friend :)

@@MoDXtraGC Great work!👍

There's a precedent with the retro line AND releases like the new Falcon - so I'll keep my fingers crossed for you my friend.

No probs Flaffel. Glad you enjoyed the review. I hope the little things don't dull your excitement too - but I'm certain they won't. :)

Thanks Nelson. Fair enough on the busy-ness - I think I may be off the mark a little with that, I wondered if I was chatting bobbins tbf. I've also seen worse hats, so there's that LOL

@@MoDXtraGC haha.. you’re not talking bobbins, if it’s busy to you then it’s busy to you :) That’s what I like about your reviews, you give your impressions without shying away from any critics you feel are warranted. It’s ok for us to disagree on these things :)

No danger Nelson. Thanks for the kind words too - I try to keep it balanced on the reviews, y'know. Just giving the thoughts I would have found helpful. :)

Right on! let me know if you get something different instead?

Thanks Wil. Another like mind mind on the wide face & back pack omission. Appreciate ya as always buddy :)

A removable piece would have been ideal. They did it with Shipwreck too. I can only assume that its a budgetary thing maybe? I can't claim the Little Richard comparison - that goes to my Joe Bros on Discord LOL

@@MoDXtraGC Yeah it could budgetary thing for sure.

It does. He just seems... wide? Yeah... wide... that's the word. I agree about the colours too - the Idaho print on his tee at least gives him some colour variety/flavour. Thanks for watching & commenting LiquidEntity - I always appreciate seeing you around these parts and am grateful for the continued support. :)

Cheers. Thanks for watching :)

Awesome. Anything in particular you like? :)

@@MoDXtraGC so wasn't a super fan of the 3³/⁴ raptor, but this one is awesome 👏🏼 Wings, removable Hat everything looks on point with this one 👍🏼

Awesome. Thanks for sharing your thoughts - I love getting the detail LOL. Make sure you swing back around and let me know how you get on with him when he arrives for you :)

At least with this particular one. Hopefully other batches will be less crunchy, although I think the head issue may be a design problem. :(

You are welcome. :) Let me know what you spend the cash on instead ;)

Yeah - I've been hearing that you folks in North America have been having a struggle picking her up. That sucks - she's a great figure. I'll keep my fingers crossed you find her soon my friend. :)

Evidence would suggest not, I'm afraid. At least in this instance. :(

Awesome. Glad you like him. I'll keep an eye out for your take on him (assuming you're going to pick one up?) :)

@@MoDXtraGC definitely. The only problem is my order was pushed out to November now but if any store in Canada gets it in stock, I will cancel Hasbro and order it from them.

You bet dude. Thanks for watching - always grateful of your support. :)

Could very well be the case. I'm so the most confident at taking remedial action of that nature with my figures so I tend to just suffer it. I know it's pretty straight forward, but I ain't handy at all and worry I'm gonna screw my figure up somehow! LOL

I'll keep an eye out for some piccies. You do great custom work Bobby :)

I was thinking about some fishing wire fun too! I've got a tie fighter up (behind the camera so you'll not see it) and though I could add Raptor and the Trubble Bubble up there. As to the articulation - it is my sincere hope that this is just mine and other batches will be fine. :)

You’ll have to mod it. It’s an easy mod. I have to do it to all the female figures so they can flex. And the necks I want more articulation out of.

I remember in the earlier ones we had the hinges too. They were a bit uglier, but they solved the head articulation limitation for sure.

I loved season 1. Can you see what I mean about the boar mask giving off that eerie True Detective vibe? I actually liked season 2 as well, despite it's flaws, I found a lot to like. I literally just watched Night Country recently too, and while it doesn't live up to Season 1 I thought Jodie Foster was great in it. She rarely disappoints.

@@MoDXtraGC I do see how you could make that connection. Definitely some fucked up people on the planet. I need to revisit Swason 2 and 3. Watched Night Country when it was released and loved that ssason as well. A close second to swason 1

He's a beast in all the ways you'd want him to be!

Cool. I'm always a bit tentative about customising sometimes - let me know if you have an Insta page or something so I can see your piccies when he's done :)

@@MoDXtraGC I do but I don't have Joe's on it. There is a part of me that's afraid his skin. Will be a different color once I remove it

I like to educate ;)

It's an annoyance for sure. Thanks for watching :)
