Yes - we are. I will be the first to say that we have been blessed of late with pre-order arrivals. While frustrating for others across the world I'm going to ride the wave of it while it lasts. LOL
Fix for the loose head: Take the head off and put a small amount of tacky wax in the head cavity. Won’t need much in there. Then reassemble the head onto the ball joint. Works great for keeping loose magazine’s from falling out of the little guns too.
That’s great! Thanks for the kind words. I hope you enjoy digging back in the archive, although please be mindful it took me a little while to find my feet 😬
I’m a Joe comics guy, and remember a handful of his appearances fondly. He’s a great figure, and I’ve had lots of fun with him. He’s hanging out with Outback & Spirit right now and they’re making for a lovely display. They work sooooo well together.
Stalker is one tooled up soldier ready for action! I’ve been re-posing these guys almost every day (Stalker, Outback, Spirit) and they look amazing together.
Might have to do a bit of a dirt-brown dry brush across his scarf, there. Just to bring it out from the rest of his fatigues, like you mentioned. Otherwise, Stalker looks pretty great. These head sculpts just seem to be getting better and better, as the line goes on. I can't wait to see the faces for upcoming guys, like Tunnel Rat!
Yeah - the blend just edged him over to a little one-note IMHO. But, you’re right, despite the uniform colour situation the rest is banging. The head sculpt work in Classified is most definitely a cut above the rest!
All the new weapons are fictitious, but heavily inspired by real world armaments, the lmg looks like a stoner lmg a1, and the smg kinda looks like an mp5, but not quite, maybe the used the zenith z-5rs as inspiration, which is basically an mp5 clone, but there are elements here and there that are out of whack, to protect them from copyright infringement most likely, and to keep the marketing and pr people happy. At 16:40, the "proper" term is magazine well.
Thanks for the info man! Appreciate you taking the time to jump in the comments and answer my firearms related questions. Every day is a learning day :)
I don’t know if the pun was intentional? Either way it’s spot on. I’m glad to hear we’re like-minded and I’m a good fit for your viewing. Welcome to the channel and thanks for the sub. 😀 You guy GI Joe people, or do you collect a few lines?
@@MoDXtraGC I’m old school, 1970s, 12 inch, GI Joe generation. I was raised on Air Force Bases and Army Posts, so I gravitate towards the militaristic part of the early GI Joes. Of course I shunned the 1980s version of GI Joe- but I’m interested in the 6” version. Not sure why this is happening, I’m sure it’s related to my recent divorce. Some kind of psychological trauma, and I’m responding with a GI Joe interest- Go figure. As long as no one gets hurts🤣 I can do what I want now.
Yeah, the uniform definitely blends just a wee bit too much. Still - I’m more forgiving when it’s got a face sculpt of this quality and tonnes of added value.
They’ve definitely had better on other packaging. It’s no big deal for me in the grand scheme - I don’t keep the packaging anyway, but can see why MIB’s or packaging fans might not be so keen. He just looks oddly proportioned
It is indeed a suppressor, heavily inspired by the Silencerco Osprey 45 from the looks of it.
In stock at pulse RN stormshadow spirit
Officer, bat, alley viper and croc master. Get em while u can!
Got my stalker and twins last week!
Wow you guys in the UK are so lucky! I've had this figure on preorder since 12/21 and they have this scheduled for release in the US on 05/23!!!

There is in aliexpress

Thanks so much 🙏🏼 Helps that I’m having fun making them. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know 😃
Very interesting review mate. Well done 👍
Thanks Campbell :)
Ready to pick him up, he looks like that actor from night court. He kinda got wrote out once the cast grew to big.

Nice. He looks better with his accessories

The scarf should have been fabric, it gets bulky with the straps, I do think the camo on the retro looking one will be brighter.
I knew out of the wave this and Dusty might be must haves👍😛
Hi Ricky. Thanks for watching! Great to meet another Classified fan 😀

Could be worse - could be red sports cars or gambling LOL
🤣 yep, this is a good fit- looking forward to more of your reviews 👍
The QC isn’t just yours. Mine are jacked up too. You shouldn’t have to finish Hasbro’s toy for them. They should be ready to go out the box
Yep. 100% agree. And I find GI Joe Classified is the LESS egregious line for the QC issues too, which is saying something.
What is up with the figures eye's? Are they looking up?
No, they’re looking forward. Sometimes my lights catch the lights a bit funny and reflect in them a bit funny but they are all good friend.
Awesome
He is, I entirely agree
I found the art on this box quite ugly too.
Yeah… it’s not my fave. They’ve had some stellar ones in the past, so some part of it is comparable standard I suppose…
Let me know if you come across an extra Stalker
I certainly can do, although I think that even over here it's mostly going out to pre-orders and there's little "on the shelf" stock around...
Cool figure but his colors are off. Where's the jungle camo? No brown like the original or like his artwork.
Yeah, the uniform definitely blends just a wee bit too much. Still - I’m more forgiving when it’s got a face sculpt of this quality and tonnes of added value.
I have not heard of anyone being a fan of this artwork. Looks like a George Floyd memorial.
They’ve definitely had better on other packaging. It’s no big deal for me in the grand scheme - I don’t keep the packaging anyway, but can see why MIB’s or packaging fans might not be so keen. He just looks oddly proportioned
