Falcon’s had some work done since I first met him back in 1987. Botox, cheek implants, chin reconstruction… it’s such a shame, he used to look like a regular Joe.
Great review. It is disappointing to see all these issues pop up with the new figures. Thanks also for showing the money and effects. I learned something new.
Wow, excellent review! I love the example with the money bills. You confirmed what I figured, that the camera angles alter the over all look. In your review, it seems that the paint for the eyes are shifted up into the brow ridge and that's largely why it alters when you shift the angle. I am thinking, when I get mine, that I will wipe away and repaint the lips and try to wipe away the paint on the brow ridge.
Thanks for your comment and support! And yes, it most probably “just” needed to punch a tad lower.. the eye tampography (or whatever technique it is) misfired a bit… Just wait for my next review, you’ll love that one…
Your review was great. Thank you. The drag queen Falcon however is a very poor effort at a classified figure. When you place it next to Duke it looks 10x worse and so cheap. Then include the window/plastic free packaging and it's not worth the $24.99 price. I'll catch this on clearance like the Snake eye movie figures.
Great review! Thanks for highlighting the freaky eyes (and the bills example). Looks like Falcon got shot in the face with Homer Simpson’s make-up shotgun.
Good Review. Like your comparison with Falcon and Duke, they dont seem to have the same father with lips like than. They could have just used Dukes head and made him bit younger with less scuplt contrast. Even in the 25th 4in line, the Falcon there was a disappointment. Its only on the later 4in FSS series he got a better body and sculpt. Was hoping Hasbro would learn from there even if they upscaled to 6in scale.
I remember this falcon two pack with comic book eh falcon did look better in 3.25 but I guess this figure will do because it's only 6 inch figure of hi. Good video my friend
Great review , the only problem I have with the figure is those reused recondo boots , he es a green beret he need combat boots , that's why I gonna swap those with a moded ones from slaugther figure
You’re welcome, Thanks for watching! My accent, well, I’m Mexican and have been living in German speaking countries for about 15 years now, while always listening to American and British podcasters, so… Guacamole accent it is!
You know when I heard that Hasbro put off one of their life streams I was hoping that it was so that they could make adjustments to the figures before they showed him off and now I see you have one and that face is still just got awful very disappointed with them what do you think do you think Hasbro and GI Joe was going to keep going?
Definitely. I just think, ideally, we should get a finished product. Of course, fun, if you’re an experienced customized, but daunting if you’re not experienced at all…
This is about the first butter face joe they made imo, I don't know how they messed Falcon up. I probably will still get him for the collection but man... this still shouldn't be a problem I have to accept. It looks like a doll, like a puppet. Just toning the weight down and removing the lipstick and he'd be pretty decent. A little less in the cheek bones and jaw, like a smidge, you can keep the details but it's like he has 5lbs of butter on his face and he needs a week or two of keto and a water pill.
They should have gone with the Duke head sculpt with black hair and no scar considering they are brothers in the GI Joe movie. It's hurts me seeing my boy massacred like this since he is my favorite Joe. Hopefully they'll pull a sonic the hedgehog change if we complain enough.
Would be great if they did a makeover. Heck, they could just throw the replacement head with some other figure or one of those troop packs. Just slide it somewhere. They might try to sell us a whole new figure though… Anyway, let‘s see if anything actually happens.
Thanks a lot Peter! I agree, but, if those lips weren’t that reddish/orangish the guy does his thing being all green-uniformed and that. Not spectacular, but not bad either. Just those paint applications on the face… Bad stuff.
Personally, I always like being able to see the figure displayed in the box or card, as long as we’re talking about regular-sized figures (3.75-7 inch or so). I do open mostly, so, I also don’t really suffer. And through this my “buying duplicates” finally got sepulted (unless we’re talking about army builders). But it’s an ugly surprise to open a box and taking out a mispainted figure… I mean…
@@garethjames1300 Agreed, Windowless Packaging surely killed the desire for most in box collectors. Killed mine to get duplicates for sure. But I guess if they see their wins drop, they might feel coerced to return to the old ways… Who knows…
You can of course skip it, or get it later on clearance… apart from the head, it ain‘t bad. But of course, we‘re paying for a whole product, not for an 80% product.
Great review. I appreciate the Falcon character in the GI Joe comics. I actually will love to get this figure because I never had the vintage figure. However Falcon need to lay off them drugs.
Nice review of Falcon! His lips are WAY too dark in color! A flesh tone wash of paint over his lips could make that look a lot better, and I think I'm going to do that for my figure. His dark lips makes him look like he is a THUNDERBIRD marionette or something. lol Hasbro needs to lighten up the lips on the male face printing, and they need to the same things with they eye shadow on the female figures. Covergirl's eye shadow, for instance, is far too dark, and with her already gaunt face sculpt, makes her look like she's an anorexic skull!
Will check my paint box 😂 or just go get some skin tone paint. Cover Girl: I actually like her in hand. I know, her face sculpt might not be for everybody, but it‘s not alarming as this guys’s.
Another great review! Falcon's portrait is just not very good, His accessories are straight up redoes of his 1987 accesories with the exception of the shotgun being a "SPAS" and the neckerchief and beret being removable.
To be honest I'd rather buy another Flint and make that into a falcon myself at least that way has a human face lol And by the way great review it is sad to see you that GI Joe line is going up in price and down in quality
I'll wait till this one goes on clearance. And even then, I'll have to think about it. The face is a mess, doesn't even look close to what is on the back of the package. 🤦♂️
I Was looking forward to Falcon. The windowless package makes it a "no sale" for me. Even if it did have a window package, that face sculpt would be a "no sale". The CG render was much better than the actual product. The bent weapons are Still a problem.
The bent shotgun was a relatively easy fix: dip it into hot water, leave it there for 10-15 seconds so it gets all gummy and flexible, then fix the shape with your hands under a stream of cold water…
I had the original Falcon back in the 80s and it's one of my favorite figures! However, the face of the classified version is an abomination! Whatever good quality the figure has is easily overshadowed by that ugly mug. If I ever decided to buy this fig I may have to replace the head.
The box is absolute rubbish but guess it's meant to be LOL but this figuere is so pants the accessories are getting less and that was one of the attractive aspects of these figures ah well ! I would not pay 5 bucks for this one !
WOW! The head sculpt on this is easily the worst I have ever seen on a modern action figure. Preorder precanceled. If this is the future of the line, I'm out.
They made falcon the first trans gi joe guessing. Or they used the makeup the designer on the creators team uses. Now I got to go look at lady J supposed to be hawks girlfriend and see if she has a adams apple. Sorry but just Don’t know, just seeing this falcon figure I can see him dressed in drag doing one of these controversial drag trans shows for kids at elementary schools today…just not rt
@@galacticmanlarry582 what i see is the decline of quality in the classified series. Thats why I've canceled l pre orders and probably won't buy anything in the near future
He‘s quite deranged… Maybe they also gave us quite a bunch of „good looking guy“ Joes. I mean, not everybody is a „Ken“, right? But they overdid it. And the lips are too brightly and intensely colored. Don‘t know what else to say. Much room for improvement with this one…
@@galacticmanlarry582 there’s pretty much no defense. He looks like a joker before he turned into the joker. Honestly it’s a figure and even if he was a good looking person. It would be expected since it is a toy and you want to have all levels of appeal

Face sculpt is awful. It’s like his face is in the beginning stages of melting. I want to know who was the deciding factor on letting this thing go to the public it’s awful worst one yet this thing is worse than flint, and lady Jay and that’s bad.
He does have the worst face of the line… Of many lines, I guess. Good thing is: If you’ve been collecting for a while, you might have some extra heads laying around that might fit… But we shouldn’t be forced to do that. Shame on them for this one.

Do we know who the sculptor was?

I'd replace that head with one of Marvel Legends Series Shield Agent 2 pack if I ever got them

Hi Larry!

Didn’t know Lt. Falcon had a bad facelift lol
😂
Hahahahaha 😂! Your funny man!
Glad to hear that, when it comes, I say it as it is! 😂
Great review, but I' m happy that I cancel my pre order of Falcon, lets hope hasbro make a rework of his face cause its need it
Honestly, I think they‘ll just get into the next releases… But maybe at some point…
You mean the red lips make him look feminine. I got Cover Girl this week. She looks good, no heating required, nor is the shotgun warped.
Glad you had no trouble!
I guess this is what happens when you let go of your head Sculptor. A glimpse of things to come.
Was this one shown after the lay off?
@@galacticmanlarry582 well the video is from a day ago. The question is was this figure designed before the layoffs

@@galacticmanlarry582 I was thinking getting him because I got Duke and flint. So he's next on my list.

Oh man… 😂
Looking like Team America TF 🤣
Seems some people had better luck as me with their pair applications… if maybe they just tweaked it themselves…
this Falcon figure needs a custom head
The reaction to this figure has been so strong (negatively strong), I wouldn’t be surprised if we see several customized options soon.
