Great review! Storm Shadow ended up being my favorite. The figures' arms, while similar to Dukes, are actually a completely new sculpt. You'll see Storm Shadows' arms have pockets on the side, unlike Duke, and the cuffs are different, too.
Storm Shadow surprised me. I really didn’t like the hood when it was first revealed. I mean Matt’s pics of Tommy jumping off the cliff is outrageously awesome! It sells the fig to the non completionist. In hand I really like the over all look. The reuse of bow and Nightcreeper backpack is ok. It’s like the red one he had in o-ring days. I like the digital camo. I like the pop of red. His hood has grown on me. He’s a solid #2. I don’t have the IG guys yet. I’m sure they rank high too. I like Alpine. I always look to mod out the kits for these figures. I used the green Low Light gun and backpack that come with the 60th Marine Sniper. The rope causes problems for the backpack peg to stay in. It would have taken a new design to fit Alpine. I’m happy with what I got. I used some black floral bendy wire to create the ascension cable to work with the Alley Viper gun. I love the colors with browns and orangey brown accents from his gear and the Idaho T-Shirt. Alpine looks great to me and with Bazooka and Quick Kick it’s perfect! When the Classified Skyhawk takes flight I will get one just for the Sunbow Three Amigos or Musketeers if you will. Nemesis is very good. It’s a great translation of the o-ring and evokes the image in the Sunbow movie. Personally I wanted him 1/8-1/4 taller. I really wanted him to look down on Sarge. He kind of does now but I wanted it more pronounced. His wings are interesting. I love the symbiote creatures angle. Golobulus using genetically spliced organic weapons is pretty awesome. Love the swords. The sheaths work and are on the original toy. I like the silhouette better with them off. The cephalopod is my favorite upgrade. I bought two just to have flanking squid/insect/crab monsters he can use to ensnare Joes. I’m down for the creep Cobra-La. They better make Pythona a wicked assassin with awesome creature weapons. That damn face hugger must be in her arsenal. The shock eel things and razor sharp starfish shuriken have to be what Hasbro does. Lean into the creepy weird with Cobra-La Hasbro. Anyway. It’s been a great Fall for Classified. Add in the Steel Corp commander and Twilight Guard with Road Pig/Ruckus and Raptor. Damn. Cherry on top Dragonfly. Great year. Top ten should be a challenge to narrow down. Oh yeah the Retro pieces and Once a Man. Lots of fun this Late Summer/Fall. Might be a lean Winter but ramp up in age Spring/Summer 2025.
Cool ranking Trav. I’ve hopefully got my first DF arriving tomorrow 🎉 excited. Can’t wait to see your review of it and if the unlocks will make your top five of ‘24. I may have to get SS v2 after all since I skipped that one as a preorder Don’t have Nem Imm either, that might be one of the figs I might not get if it doesn’t restock at pulse.
good stuff man!!! still waiting on road pig, alpine, iron grenadier, and 60th sniper before this years over... oh and that dragonfly thing! i removed nemesis' sword sheathes to keep him more animalistic... he's a weapon, dont need the swords (unless its an energon thing, which i have yet to see him in story)
Nice group review. Its the best way to do it 😁My favorite wave yet, Storm Shadow and Nemesis Immortal Alpine my top three for the year. The Nemesis sheaths just need to pull down a little to tighten up.
i dont understand the trigger hands for Road Pig and Nemesis Enforcer. neither come with guns. And they are new unique molds that probably won't be used for anyone else. i guess i lucked out with my Nemesis. no floppy torso here
Fun ranking. My Storm Shadow is on the way, so can't speak to that one. The Nemesis is fun even though not a fan of Cobra La.
😎 one of my favorite waves yet, great content as always 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@chadkinsler9865 my man thank YOU! It's a very strong wave
Really enjoyed that review man 🫡
@markurquhart5064 thanks a ton! These are always fun to do 😄

@@justinhardison9229 I had Duke next to me but was too lazy to compare 🤣🤣 thx for pointing it out and watching the video :)
Great vid my dude, although I’m kinda scared to open my Nemesis now 😅
@@ValadeCartoonist hahaha yeah, shame.
I was a bit disappointed in starduster too at first. He has grown on me though
@@woltersworld word. I get they had to call an audible bc Nem Imm wasn't ready yet to be the exclusive, but still... eh he's alright lol
@AToyKindaMood exactly... he's... alright
This was a great looking wave I do not get a lot of Classified but had to get the Iron Grenadier he is awesome
Great list
@podcastfromthepit3132 thank you so much Casey!!
Nice review👍
@@Buff88 thx Buff!!
🔥🔥🔥
Awesome showing them. I got the starduster. I plan to get alpine next
@@0u812343 thanks so much

Wobbly torso, that’s a shame…. I am really curious to see if this figure has a second run or if Nem is a 1nce a run kinda fig.
@@Sabir_DelNorte Wobbly and still made #1! lol.. Dragonfly thoughts coming soon
@@AToyKindaMood happy that you’re happy with it Trav.

@classified77 it's an Energon thing I think! Appreciate the kind words and yah waiting is the hardest part 😫
I use an Alley Viper back pack for Alpine for the Gun he shares with the Alley Viper actually looks like it belongs.
okay, terrific idea!!

@@frankdoomonyoo thx that means a lot! I don't want to put the reviewer through a 25 min review of one toy when I can review 6 in that frame lol
@@AToyKindaMood time saver for sure. 🤘🧙♂️🍻
BRUTAL CHEST CUT! But yeah, that's as good as you can hide it if you aren't gonna cover it all up.
HAHAHHA! Loved to see a cameo comment from ya, buddy! We gotta collab some day WOJM x ATKM!
i dont understand the trigger hands for Road Pig and Nemesis Enforcer. neither come with guns. And they are new unique molds that probably won't be used for anyone else.
i guess i lucked out with my Nemesis. no floppy torso here
Yeah, extremely weird decision luckily I found a way to keep the sword secure!
Hope Pulse releases Storm Shadow and Alpine soon 😢
@@Lone_Wolf_Toys Pulse is usually last :(
Don’t t understand how he’s #1, he’s far from as good as he could’ve been
@@antoineconnor5266 the insane deco detail won me over
I like all this wave. My favorite is Nemesis Immortal and the fascist Iron Grenadiers.
