A look at the Walmart Exclusive GIJoe Classified Series number 107 Night Force Tunnel Rat and a comparison to the main line release as well as the other members of the Night Force
I think both rats look good but I like the night force dark colors! I have Shooter arriving soon from Walmart ( ew! ) but I do want to get in on night force like I did with the tiger force! Nice review👍👍👍👍👍✨✨✨
I prefer the NF version but they're both great. Really digging the camo bandana and the painted watch. Night Force is quickly becoming my favorite subseries in Classified. thx for the review!
Damn, that Night Force lineup at the end is amazing. Hope I can find them all. Great work as always, Bobby! I enjoyed your conversation with Lawrence the other night too. Very fun.
I think I like the OG better, but love the changes on the NF. Little touches like the red for the scope, the flashlights and the JoePro are really cool. He’s preordered, so I’m getting him. I’m trying to remember in the ARAH line if characters would appear in several sub teams. Like, we won’t see a NF Duke bc he’s in TF.
I like both equally, but then I always did. It's one of the better palette swaps of the 80s. I do think I'll try my hand at switching the pants as I like the ARAH look on ol' Nicky - don't see why they needed to screw with it.
Thank you for the video and comparisons! Much appreciated! Me: "I have the mainline Tunnel Rat, I'm good." Also me: Adds NF version to cart 5 minutes after he goes up for pre-order. 🤣
I am most definitely switching pants when I get mine. The vintage NightForce was supposed to have light grey pants and the original standard release had black pants. That NF Tunnel Rat has darker pants, even if they aren't black. I don't think Hasbro is going to release a "retro" version with black pants; that would be silly.
I was going to pass on him. I didn't figure I needed a simple repaint. But I'm loving Night Force, and have the others (Wolf Spider is pre-ordered). Plus, I had a $10 promo code for Walmart. So I went ahead and pre-ordered him.
Surprised they didn’t throw in a gas mask of some sort as all the other Night Force members got. The story seems to indicate the dark energon causing problems. Maybe the problem is airborne. The Mole Rats getting converted. It just seemed a deviation.
I think I like the night force color scheme much better, but I like the black marks on the skin and face better on the original. and since I have the original look figure already, probably not a purchase for me regarding the night force great review!
Nightforce was after my collecting days, but damn I like those colors. Compare that to the atrocious Marauder colors. No thanks. Don't really see a reason to buy the Nightforce Tunnel Rat though.
I'm gonna Pass on the Night Force, I am gonna want this guy in Sonic Fighters colors instead. P.S. He's not there to detect energon, he's there to blow up the cave.
I know Gi Joe is sci-fi military, but this figure even in the world of sci-fi makes no tactical sense. Tunnel rat, small spaces, confined, close quarter combat specialist. Rocking the LMG??? A heavy, cumbersome beltfed or drum fed, will get stuck in a tunnel will get caught both with vertical and horizontal rotation in a confined space heavy machine gun? A auto pistol, mp5k or spaz 12 or the shortened silenced version of standard ARs was what he needed Tunnel rat is gonna die 😂

NF crew looks ready! That crew needs a mission! Thanks for sharing!

Make as many Tunnel Rats as they want, respecting Larry Hama

I like the NightForce art better. It looks like Larry Hama
I only have NF big Ben but if the do the og team im going in on those. I hope to find him in stores as I missed the po.
Simple repaint. I will wait till it goes on clearance.
This is a first-rate review of NF Tunnel Rat and his awesome accessories, and I like the NF version more than the ML version.
The original is much better, but I'm glad they are giving people options.

I like the face paint and also the fact that I picked up regular TR for like 10$ from target!
What a score!
Great video!
I've always liked Tunnel Rat, but I never understood why a guy who crawls around tunnels and tight enclosed areas carried a big ass M60.
Surprised they didn’t throw in a gas mask of some sort as all the other Night Force members got. The story seems to indicate the dark energon causing problems. Maybe the problem is airborne. The Mole Rats getting converted. It just seemed a deviation.
The Night Force Crazylegs with the Dragonfly doesn't either but I wish they both did
Shockwave next!!
I've got the main line, so I'm good for right now.
I'm hoping to get night force Tunnel Rat eventually.... Maybe if I'm lucky I could find him at a discount

great review!
That was a quick turnaround from preorder to release
I picked this up by other means
Great review.
The rifle and bandolier look great. But why would a rat come armed with anything other than small arms and close-quarters weapons?
Vietnam era inspiration for the original character design
I like both figures about equally, but I definitely prefer the original's artwork.
I heard someone say that the red lenses are a Nightforce thing?

Is Night Force Tunnel Rat hunting Werewolves?
Cross draw Holster.
I was thinking shoulder holster. They were the Fobbits go-to holster down range
No head swaps? 🤦♂️
It's the same head... just with out the face paint. It's not needed.
