Appreciate the review Chris. Definitely leaning towards keeping my preorder. Destro needs his own guards these days with Cobra buying so many vehicles from M.A.R.S.
Great review as always, Chris. I'll certainly be saving up to get as many as possible. BTW, the head sculpt with the helmet reminded me of the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica
Thanks Dale. I can definitely see the classic look Cylon vibes in there now you mention it for sure. I met Dirk benedict once y'know? He was very charming.
That odd looking double barrel Assault Rifle is based on a Gilboa Snake - for anyone wondering. The idea being that 2 shots fired from it would be closer together than two shot fired in quick succession from a single barrel. In "Theory" one could also chamber different rounds in the left side to the ones in the right side if using the 2 separate triggers (usa) version. The Israeli version had the option of a shared trigger by default so would have the same ammo both sides. It has 2 Magazine wells and and when using the same ammo both side the magazine are often bound together as they are on this toy version.. though you can just about make out that the magazine is a double width duel one. As for the other one I think it it is supposed to be a 5.56mm Light Machine Gun "Squad Support weapon" something like an M249 / FN Herstal 'Minimi' kinda thing. (Though it could be intended to be the 7.62mm version too). I guess it is better than keeping the ancient designs of ARAH some which dated back to World War II issue. But I would appreciate some further new designs too. I notice Footloose has a new Rocket Launcher which is something i guess.
Awesome 90lancaster - thanks for the lesson. I'll be the first to admit I'm a "shooty shooty pew pew" guy who just goes on aesthetic. I appreciate the education my man :)
I've had a few lately with the loose ab crunch. I know it's been around a while but I've been lucky up until recently. Everybody gets a turn I suppose...
@@MoDXtraGC lol yup! I use a product called ‘Fix Loose Joints’ that I got off eBay. It sorta remedies the issue (never quite fixes it completely tho). It’s basically furniture polish that builds up a friction layer between the joints.
I'm less attached to soft goods on figures, but these are a little restricting. Honestly though, when I consider the posing I've been playing around with it's not been all that much of problem tbf
Eagerly awaiting these IG troopers for a squad build. On at least one I will paint those kneepads black. I like almost everything else about the figure but I am dreadfully tired of seeing Stalker arm reuse. For a heavy trenchcoat those elastic wrists just looks wrong; was hoping for double/French cuffs with links. IG Destro can't come soon enough for me, with an IG Baroness and Voltar!
Oh yeah - for sure. I didn't really register that fully but now you mention it it could really do with a nice strapped cuff or something like you usually get with a double breasted knee length like that. I'm eagerly anticipating what the Classified team are going to do with the likes of Voltar and Darklon. Darklon has been backdoor teased I believe through a leak...
Airborne arms. I'm so used to seeing Stalker's, but the padded elbows and lack of upper pocket clearly define it as Airborne which has already seen a ton of reuse in new releases and reveals.
Cant wait to see what you think about this figure....but I already preordered two of them 😂 Were you eluding to the fact that his uniform looks like its inspired by a WW2 Nazi uniform?😊
I was. Although before I edited I had mentioned it briefly earlier in the vid, but in my effort to cut some repetition out I ended up making it seem more elusory when I returned to the point later. Little continuity error there LOL
Another great review. Can’t wait to get this figure.
Thanks man :)

Awesome looking figure 👍👍👍👍🌭🥤
Thanks for watching Shawn. You gonna pick one up?

The need to make the Gold Mask Destro
It's all just a matter of time - he'll be along I'm sure :)
The Tanzanian and Zanzibar forces have officially adopted the Israeli double barrel AR Gilboa snake. So, finally something worthwhile.
There you go. Thanks for the lesson man 👊
Id use the the big Ben load out as weapons that Destro is selling to Cobra
Nice. Yeah - that works - make some solid use of the extra gear with a nice bit of story-telling in the mix. I like it!
I like how the red mask paint looks like facial hair
LOL - I never thought that, but now it's all I see!
I’ll pick up 2 as officers for the retro release army I plan to build. Another stellar video my friend!
Thanks! Appreciate you watching and commenting. :)
Great review. Looking forward to this one. Wobbly waists always suck tho, this qc issue seems to never fully go away unfortunately

I like the look of that figure. But the tales on that long coat makes me wish a little bit for a soft good

Guy Fawkes day......I thought that was the symbol for the SOB group ...you know the extremist Robbie Burns fan club......no?
LOL 😂 Very good my friend, gave me a guffaw there LMAO
