I loved Raptor as a little kid, but as an adult, I wonder if I'm too cool for him now. 😂 Edit: Yes! Children's Palace was just amazing! Anyone too young to have seen one should google pictures. Their stores looked like castles. 😁 Edit 2: He really does seem like an awesome figure. Those wings are a big upgrade over the RAH cape.
I am the opposite. As a kid I thought Raptor was a bridge too far, despite my love of Serpentor. Now I think the upgrades make him very cool and the accountant part amuses me. Got mine yesterday so looking forward to adding it to the shelf.
I am so excited for this figure!! He looks absolutely amazing! In my opinion one of the best in the line along with our friend Serpentor! Also, enjoyed your hilarious Flint rant at the end, hhaha
Walked into my local Target today, spotted two, Raptors hanging on the pegs, near the NECA area, went to ring it up, said see associate for the price, found a worker and said that it showed salvaged in the system and asked me if I wanted to buy it, I said absolutely, so I grabbed the other one on the shelf, and I got both for a little over 2.00 😂. First time I’ve ever got a deal like that.
While I'm a fan of more mainstream Cobra characters like Copperhead and Wild Weasel, in 1986 & 1987 I was a huge fan of the "Weirdo Squad": Crystal Ball, Big Boa, Croc Master and Nemesis Enforcer. This is a great addition to the Classified series. I have a feeling this'll probably be a shelf warmer so I'll probably wait a while (but it's a buy for sure). Great Video. Thanks! 🎃
I read the file card when I had Raptor as a kid, but I made up my own back story for the character… he was essentially a bad guy counterpart to Spirit. Also in my head canon, He and Crystal Ball (released same year) were members of the Dreadnoks and not part of Cobra properly. So in my play, they joined the ‘Noks with Zanzibar, so 3 new members in 1987.
I'm holding off on this one because I prefer the wing cape and I'm hoping we get a retro. Funny thing is, that flight pack makes him look like he's from that old Disney movie, Condor Man.
I was on the fence about this one but I picked him up in target last night and he’s actually a really great looking figure and the jet pack and all the articulation is awesome!! He looks really good up on the shelf! Only thing that sucks is the claws do not fit in his hands properly…….bring on crystal ball!!! I think he’s going to be really cool in the classified style
Mike Piazza only played one year in Oakland 2007 I wouldn't really call him a legend for the A's. Bonus fact only year he played in the American League
I bought him at Target for $10.99 he was $33.00.. do you put it down for a 70 percent clearance with is going on here the crappy character goes on sale, and the good characters you want still suffer full price..😂😮😅😅😅
When I was collecting ARAH as a kid, I remember just adding oddball guys like Raptor, Crystal Ball & Croc Master to the Dreadnok crew.

Top 5 joes this year so far
From what I see, I like this look, I'm going to grab one. Plus I love a cool looking figure with slick looking wings
C'mon Crystal Ball to complete the '87 Cobra crew!😁
I hope they do a retro version with just a feather cape. I would prefer that as it makes him seem more crazy, rather than some supervillain type.
Kyle as a kid I always wanted General Ledger but never got him.I use to call him the fake Zartan.
I have to buy this. My father was a tax accountant and his nickname was chip. For chip off the old block.
Nunchuck had the same claws
Raptor is ice age version of Marvel's Falcon and stone age version of Vulture
Mike piazza played for the dodgers, Mets marlins athletics and padres
He sure did
🇺🇲YO JOE!!🇺🇸
