Way to look out for your fellow collectors with the leg fix! You are the truth! Great review and great vibes as usual. Thanks for always going the extra mile in your videos!
YOU HAVE GOT TO TALK ABOUT THIS NEW "OPERATION MONSTER FORCE" line that just dropped by Big Bad Toy Store as their own line! $10.00 more than a Marvel Legends and G.I. Joe but they even blow Valaverse out of the water when it comes to accessories, customizing, and Troup building AND mixing with other lines. Just compare the Marvel Legends Morlun to this new lines Dracula.
Outback was my #1 joe big conversion fan my 3 and 3 quarter still has Tunnel Rats pants on ... your vehicle video's changed my collection life Rcc. ars are 1/12 scale !!!! holly shit .....lol
I was new to collecting Hasbro and I bought "thing" and it had the gummy leg and I didn't even know what that was at the time so I overextended it and broke the figure. That alone stopped me from collecting Hasbro marvel toys.
Just found an Outback and Crimson bat at my local Target. I chose Outback, and it is a very good figure. Thanks for another informative review Articulated Ninja.
Dude!!!! I live in Des Moines, Iowa and I found it in a target!!! I went to a store were I didnt find one, I looked it up in store on their inventor, and it was a couple miles away and I went there didnt see it and looked and asked an employee and they brought it out!🤔🤔🙂😊🤷♂️🤷♂️
I wonder if it's a batch problem or something I got mine from the UK and it was smooth and with no issues glad you fixed it though (even though you shouldn't have to)
Leg joint issue was on my first pickup of Classified (Snake Eyes retail version) and I haven’t had any more issues since but I only have Cobra Officers, Storm 🥷 Shadow and Croc Master. I’m good on Classified now, if I can find this version of Outback 🐅 I’ll grab it but otherwise I’m out on the line ✌️ Dope kitbash for older Cap 🇺🇸🍻
Cool, I have this on PO, if you are quick you can anything the uk. Although not for long, Hasbro are not going to allow anyone to sell GI Joes in the uk, they will exclusive to Hasbro. I don't collect every single figure,but never had any problems with the gummy joints.
That old captain america look is awesome! I think at this point its safe to say that hasbro doesnt really care about the QC or distribution issues. And youre not alone, im the same way as far as id much rather chill at home with my dogs and my wife than going out anywhere around other people.
My Storm Shadows arm broke cuz it was stiff, I got another one and it was stiff as well. Got a Spirit Iron Knife and that is dumb stiff too. I just feel like the quality has dropped a lot. I know it’s the opposite problem but damn. Gotta heat all of them now
This is like the issue with about 90 percent of Classified figures out of the box. I started using warm water to loosen them up and give them the Series 1 Valaverse treatment, with working the joints after using heat to WAKE up the articulation. That said, i'd like to mention another issue out of the box, Loose knees and ankles. I got a Stalker, that's got a stanky leg, that just kinda dangles and can't hold it's own weight. I got Alley Vipers that have one ankle that is tight, another loose, and the clicks are just offset enough, that the only way for them to stand is if you get it just right, halfway between two clicks. The problem then being, with all the gear, and the loose ankle, it tends to fall. So, Figure Stands for Vipers with this problem.
They need to ditch the drop down legs, many of my figures have loose hanging legs because of the drop downs being overstressed. I've been screaming about this since I started collecting these.
I've had issues with sticky legs. I haven't done anything yet as they stay in their boxes for space considerations. Robo over at The Fwoosh seems to have resolved using shock oil.
I pay the $50 a year to Hasbro for shipping costs and access to preorders. It ends up being worth it in the end if you just buy Hasbro products directly from Hasbro.
Great review man, and thanks for talking about the hips and making that fix video. I don't get many Classified figures so I didn't know it was a common thing, but I got a couple BATs a few days ago and one of the hip joints almost tore and is so white and stressed now. I haven't been a fan of the Classified hip joints in general because of the barely useful/functional drop-down hips, but now this? Everything else about this line is awesome, but Hasbro really needs to look into the hips, man.
Use Liberty Oil Products 100% Synthetic Lubricant. I leaned of it from Robo ( The Fwoosh ) a while back in a review on a G.I. Classified. I had the same issue as well with many of my Classified figures. It purchased it on Amazon. Only a few bucks. Great content as always Brother. Keep up the Great Work, Salute 🫡
Gummy legs are terrible man, I was eager to get a classic Thor in my collection, got the 80yrs figure when it released...gummy legs wtf? Fast forward to the classic Dr. Strange, one of my favorite Marvel characters...gummy legs WTF? I feel your pain man, the biggest company giving some bs time and time again✊️
i had the outback on preorder on hasbro pulse. once i couldnt get a dr mindbender i canceled my preorder on him lol. if i see him ill get him but im just getting what i need at this point with hasbro.
Actually, I haven't ran into any sticky joints because I usual heat them up and then pose them around just to loosen those joints up. But this figure will be customized as my brother as an operative, Grillout. Yeah, that's how my mind works. Actually that's a total lie I do have some sticky joints after all and I might try to fix the problem whenever I get some time to do so.
Mine didn't have the gummy leg problem, but my feet were stuck like glue when I got him. Had to do the hot water trick like 5 times before I could properly get them to flex. Really disappointing from one of the largest toy companies in the world.
legit not had a single gummy leg issue and I have 80+ classified figures with my army building Outback is so amazing I really hope we get the Night Force version and they alter him to be grey hair vs the red hair on that release
now that you mentioned it, my hasbro sgt slaughter does have gummy legs - both legs. im definitely gonna check all of my classified joes now. incidentally... i opened up my action force sgt slaughter and the leg articulation is tight but i don't think its a gummy leg... i also checked my ML Hatut Zeraze and no gummy legs there. even the fortnite 6in Meowscles have very smooth upper leg articulation.
we are paying a premium price for these figures we should not have to fix anything out the box if I wanted to buy a kit I would and it would be way cheaper
Awww man! I ordered this off the target app for shipping a few days ago, it came in yesterday morning Christmas Eve -Eve… was gonna wait to open him up but was just thinking about gummy legs 😂 so opened him up.. luckily no issues on mine… joints nice and smooth, elbows a bit tight but least I don’t have to dremmel anything… think at cost was what $22? So yup very happy with him… I was holding out just because I wanted to find him in stores but hey… wasn’t off eBay or Mercari so good pick up
it is a nice figure. But honestly the Outback i had as a kid had thr red hair and the white survival shirt.Whats the Outback I wanted. But what's funny is I won't cancel the Bazooka one or recondo...And I'm probably going to get duke. Why them? because the original tiger force team when i was a kid..did not have Outback as a member yet. That happened in the early 90's...and by then i stopped collecting..cause I wanted a Girlfriend instead...and the cartoon was not being done by DiC and was horrible. This is why when they revealed Big Ben I was like...Who? But I may get him because he looks cool. But the only tiger force beyond that..I may get is if they make Dusty , Flint (I hope with better paint apts on his face. Lifeline, Roadblock, Tripwire, Frostbite and Skystriker. most are already made or we have, or have been revealed on the pipeline except Frostbite, Skystriker and Lifeline..in which seriously? Come on hasbro...or even Valaverse...please someone make a damn medic!!! Doc, Lifeline..whoever Bobby creates....(I hope a female Doctor)) and I'd rather Hasbro do Doc first. I say female cause...I don't know whatever excuse to have more ladies in my army. Plus in real life I don't like having a Male doctor. Woman have better bedside manner. But dammit I want a Medic.LOL dude you just like me. I rather be around animals then people. I hate parties or a place with allot of people. But I have bad social anxiety disorder. Also...dammit Hasbro..Mutt and Junkyard already....I need a Rottie dog in my army.
Ryan (aka Sir Lazor Trousers) strikes me as a legit dude. 3POA and its spin-off pods have quickly become some of my favourites on the TH-cams. BTW - have you seen the Monster Force 1/12 figures Fresh Monkey Fiction just announced? They look freakin' amazing. Pity we have to wait till end of next year for 'em.
I don't get this issue with the gummy legs with Legends or Black Series. Although Legends in general is having a tendancy to warp or come out of the package warped, needing heat to get them looking right. I had the first legend i've ever had that broke out of the package with the 60th ASM. The bicep joint just popped off the shoulder peg, I popped it back in, but now whenever you try and pose it at that joint, it just pops off. REALLY small peg. Gummy cheap plastic on newer legends.
I haven't run into that yet. I don't remember Outback but for some reason this version appeals to me more than the regular release. Between this version and the original red hair version which do you like better? Also after you get the legs loose can you just add a little white lithium greese to it where it won't get gummy again?
I still have my original Outback 3 3/4 figure, I was happy that Hasbro did a classified version, but unhappy that I can’t get one my preorder was cancelled…. I hope I can get the classified original to go with my original figure. Outback has always been my favorite
Yea the legs I haven’t had problems with I’ve had Valaverse figures that had Limbs and neck pegs snap even after the hot water bath but I’m very very selective of both lines
Weird times. I was going to straight up pass on this figure. I was long gone when Tiger Force originally came around back in the day, so I had no prior nostalgic attachment. Then he became this ridiculously rare item. I wasn't collecting Classified when he came up for pre-order so I missed out. Then I watched all these folks struggle to keep their pre-orders with Target and Walmart. I was just like, "I am never getting this figure. I don't need this figure." THEN.....Haslow had to go and send my sorry @$$ an email. Sayin' "Hey...money-bags, guess what just came back into stock? " I go on Pulse...and I'll be damned if it isn't Old Outback, available for purchase. I caved and bought him. I thought I would regret it, but just seeing the reviews lately, he's growing on me. Gawd only knows when Haslow will ship'em....but someday...over the rainbow....he'll eventually ship.
The gun pisses me off. That reflex sight on the front. Why is it there? The back scope is not a magnifyer otherwise it would line up to be co witnessed. Once you see it I cant unsee it.😡😡
Imagine all the impulse buy collectors that spent all that money for the same figure that has been commonly stocked at Ross for less than SIX dollars. Sometimes it pays to wait. Here is a good lesson, if its a Walmart or Target EXCLUSIVE, you'd do better to wait on it. Because the exclusives will eventually go to clearance because Walmart and Target WILL NOT sell them all. Anything sold exclusively online through a website you might want to pick up because once its gone its gone. Valaverse is the only toy company I have gotten feedback stating they will release sold out stock at another time.
Yo! Thanks for all the kind words man. Im happy to hear Outback got there fast and in good shape. Nice job fixing those gummy legs too! 🤙🏼
Thank you a ton man i appreciate you looking out for me 🤜🤛
Good dude that Laser Bratz Pants. Great review AN!!
Way to look out for your fellow collectors with the leg fix! You are the truth! Great review and great vibes as usual. Thanks for always going the extra mile in your videos!

I do have that problem on my BATS... Definitely concerns me...
Somebody needs to make a CNC aluminum crotch joint for these figures.
Awesome glad all the hard work paid off to get on their radar bro!
Outback was my #1 joe
big conversion fan
my 3 and 3 quarter still has Tunnel Rats pants on ...
your vehicle video's changed my collection life
Rcc. ars are 1/12 scale !!!!
holly shit .....lol
Dude, that head swap is really awesome
Great review.. Laser Pants is a awesome host and puts on some great lives with Analog and Vala
Everyone i know that has this figure haven't had this problem. Hope you get better stuff in the future
My Firefly had the same issue. I just hit with shock oil and it was perfect after that.
I was new to collecting Hasbro and I bought "thing" and it had the gummy leg and I didn't even know what that was at the time so I overextended it and broke the figure.
That alone stopped me from collecting Hasbro marvel toys.
Just found an Outback and Crimson bat at my local Target. I chose Outback, and it is a very good figure. Thanks for another informative review Articulated Ninja.
Fun video! No issues with my Joes legs yet but hopefully not jinxing future purchases haha
Don't buy me a thing I told my wife that all I need is action action figures !!!!
😂 facts for life lol
That head on Captain America was a stroke of inspiration!
Dude!!!! I live in Des Moines, Iowa and I found it in a target!!! I went to a store were I didnt find one, I looked it up in store on their inventor, and it was a couple miles away and I went there didnt see it and looked and asked an employee and they brought it out!🤔🤔🙂😊🤷♂️🤷♂️
Im glad you had the force with you that day by me employees say they cannot retrieve items from the back 😂 they had enough of people
@@ArticulatedNinja that sucks!!!!!
I wonder if it's a batch problem or something I got mine from the UK and it was smooth and with no issues glad you fixed it though (even though you shouldn't have to)
Hey man I seen gung ho and a bunch of marvel select are all 50% off and Books-A-Million right now I got some cool ones
Leg joint issue was on my first pickup of Classified (Snake Eyes retail version) and I haven’t had any more issues since but I only have Cobra Officers, Storm 🥷 Shadow and Croc Master.
I’m good on Classified now, if I can find this version of Outback 🐅 I’ll grab it but otherwise I’m out on the line ✌️
Dope kitbash for older Cap 🇺🇸🍻
Yep 5 of mine have the sticky legs.
I need two of him, target cancelled my order but i need one on its own and one to make a custome snake
I did run into that similar issue with wave one Scarlet. That's pretty much it. I haven't run into other classified figures with that issue.
Cool, I have this on PO, if you are quick you can anything the uk. Although not for long, Hasbro are not going to allow anyone to sell GI Joes in the uk, they will exclusive to Hasbro. I don't collect every single figure,but never had any problems with the gummy joints.
Yeah, the "gummy" leg problem is still an issue with the P.P. B.A.T.s.
That old captain america look is awesome! I think at this point its safe to say that hasbro doesnt really care about the QC or distribution issues. And youre not alone, im the same way as far as id much rather chill at home with my dogs and my wife than going out anywhere around other people.
My Storm Shadows arm broke cuz it was stiff, I got another one and it was stiff as well. Got a Spirit Iron Knife and that is dumb stiff too. I just feel like the quality has dropped a lot. I know it’s the opposite problem but damn. Gotta heat all of them now
I'm not gonna lie, I want to see you review multiple other companies action figure lines, I'd love to hear your reviews across lines!!!😊🤷♂️
This is like the issue with about 90 percent of Classified figures out of the box. I started using warm water to loosen them up and give them the Series 1 Valaverse treatment, with working the joints after using heat to WAKE up the articulation. That said, i'd like to mention another issue out of the box, Loose knees and ankles. I got a Stalker, that's got a stanky leg, that just kinda dangles and can't hold it's own weight. I got Alley Vipers that have one ankle that is tight, another loose, and the clicks are just offset enough, that the only way for them to stand is if you get it just right, halfway between two clicks. The problem then being, with all the gear, and the loose ankle, it tends to fall. So, Figure Stands for Vipers with this problem.
They need to ditch the drop down legs, many of my figures have loose hanging legs because of the drop downs being overstressed. I've been screaming about this since I started collecting these.
Bats,Crimson Guard ,officers ,alley viper legs was all sticky and the left leg on a few of each of them
I've had issues with sticky legs. I haven't done anything yet as they stay in their boxes for space considerations. Robo over at The Fwoosh seems to have resolved using shock oil.

Outback?what's an outback? Legends say I approved 4-5 delays and target still canceled ...
My BBQ has a gummy leg and the peg is completely white from stress straight out the box
i had the outback on preorder on hasbro pulse. once i couldnt get a dr mindbender i canceled my preorder on him lol. if i see him ill get him but im just getting what i need at this point with hasbro.
So I heated up my alpha commando snake eyes, to repaint him as v4… his legs never went back on well. The pop off at a whim.
Actually, I haven't ran into any sticky joints because I usual heat them up and then pose them around just to loosen those joints up. But this figure will be customized as my brother as an operative, Grillout. Yeah, that's how my mind works. Actually that's a total lie I do have some sticky joints after all and I might try to fix the problem whenever I get some time to do so.
I have this problem with my Storm Shadow. I can't tell if the ball-peg is stressed because it's white. I think I'll try shock oil in the joints first.
Worst issue I ran into is bad knee turning points. Those feel like breaking if I don't heat them up first. Was especially prevalent on my Serpentor.
Mine didn't have the gummy leg problem, but my feet were stuck like glue when I got him. Had to do the hot water trick like 5 times before I could properly get them to flex. Really disappointing from one of the largest toy companies in the world.
Weird how my gamestop order was canceled. 😡
I would have loved to run into the leg issues if my shit didn't get canceled.😒
i just lightly sand the nubs on the hip ball, works great
legit not had a single gummy leg issue and I have 80+ classified figures with my army building
Outback is so amazing I really hope we get the Night Force version and they alter him to be grey hair vs the red hair on that release

Im glad you had no issues overrall hes a really nice figure
I wanted that one…cancelled. Maybe I’ll find one in the wild…pajama pants didn’t send one to me :-P
Hey bro I'm just a fan💥 we gotta support "Real Ones"
Every single time. With rare exceptions. Like the ninja pack or fortnite snake eyes.
it is a nice figure. But honestly the Outback i had as a kid had thr red hair and the white survival shirt.Whats the Outback I wanted.

I agree the one I have the crotch cracked a piece broke off I had to glue the piece so yes very poor product

BTW - have you seen the Monster Force 1/12 figures Fresh Monkey Fiction just announced? They look freakin' amazing. Pity we have to wait till end of next year for 'em.
Gummy thicc am I right fellas ??
Get 2 Outbacks and then do a Livestream and give one away! Plus I got Superchats for you if you do a live.
I don't get this issue with the gummy legs with Legends or Black Series.

I've never had any issues with the sunfire body mold but when i got my retro carded falcon i got a similar problem, how do i fix it?
I only have a handful of Classified figures, but that leg issue is a problem on easily half of them. Now Imma go see how to fix that.
That's a great head for an old Big Boss.

Lol my 3 local targets had Outback shelf warming. The entire peg just of Outback. It’s insane
🔥🔥🔥🔥
You never have to deal with this through valiverse
It's crazy how you can find at ross for 5.99. I bought them all
Its on mine too
Radio Control car silicone shock oil.
Just picked this up at target for 22.99 found it hidden behind those cobra robot troopers
I've got this version of Outback, pretty decent figure, sorry bout the gummy legs Bro, but yes for Me the lines dying.

Outback is my second most favorite figure. I love my Crocmaster to death though.

Oh Lord! 🙄🙄
I'm new to the line and I'm noticing my recent figures having this issue with the legs😐😐😐
Damn
Mine broke on that leg. Snapped off with first flex
Damn sorry to hear that they should do better
@@ArticulatedNinja yeah I got it tonight at target. Good thing they had like 6. Hopefully they all are not like that
Man Hasbro is wack
Idk man, if you need that much blue tack- to where you can see it, you ruined the figure
Place a little less and ur fine 😂 dremel a lil less and don't use any at all.
Joy toy
