ZZ from the Discord here, always enjoy your rundowns after every stream. I think Dial-Tone is the standout for me from this wave. I am a little concerned about the ab crunch, but that smartphone gun thing singlehandedly sold me on him. Love the colors too.
Cheers ZZ - thanks for sharing your stand out. And your kind words. Like I said in the vid - Dial-Tone meets a good balance for me of fitting the uniform military look, but with some character & flavour that gives him some shelf presence. In this instance its his tech, which it absolutely should be for that character. :)
It's crazy because Zander was never my cup of tea ☕ ( see what I did ? ) as a kid but this classified version of him looks amazing....they did another Tripwire in which the classified version of him was freaking amazing compared to the original
I was eagerly awaiting this one. I think it's awesome to hear that the Classified version converted a new fan to the character though - it's real fun when that happens. When I started with the line I said to myself that I was only going to pick up the new versions of figures I owned as a kid. And... well... 3 years later and that went firmly out the window LOL
I ordered the lot. I may grab a couple more SAW Vipers to mod. I knew when it was 20 minutes it was going to be light. There is NYCC, 10/27, and London MCM still. Hasbro will share more during those. Heavy Duty is insane. I’m getting Space Marine vibes. I expect him to battle Xenomorphs. Law and Order looks pretty sweet. Now I want Snake Eyes with the canine command hands to have a “silent interlude” with the canine handlers.
I skipped Star Duster, but I'm in on the others. I can totally see the Space Marine vibes on Heavy Duty too - and I'm all for it! I got a little ahead of myself with hopes/desires when I saw the Amazon listings I think - they were clearly for other events too. @Jasonchavez8706 the Ski Mask SAW look is badass. I think that's going to be a fun head swap to play around with!
I don't know if other people trying to buy figures on hasbro had issues placing an order as I was having...took me over an hour to place my order. Anyway I pre-order all the classified figures but God damnit it took a huge effort and it was so nervewrecking because ever since they updated their site the ordering process sucks
I didn't have any issues, but I use the UK Pulse site so that will probably be why. I've heard a few other folks discuss challenges with getting orders made on the US side. This isn't the first time either - it seems something def isn't right in North America on the Hasbro Pulse front!
Good rundown. I pre-ordered a couple of every figure…..I’m still loving the line and as far as I’m concerned, they are still hitting it out of the park. I would probably go with Dial Tone as my favorite but I like them all so much that it’s just splitting hairs, tbh. As far as the render reveals, they both look good too, I’m really looking forward to Law & Order, that set like it will be amazing!
Thanks man. Yes - while it was a light on the new stuff what we did get looks pretty awesome! Classified keeps bringing the good stuff! And another good boy on the way into the line - that can only be a good thing! 😂
I thought the saw viper got his nickname from cutting down Joe's with that gun. I didn't realize he was Cobra's part-time gardener with that pruning chainsaw.
I really wish they hadn't teased the Nemesis Imortal a while back ....not giving us any kind of preorder info. is just plain mean.....the rest was a little underwhelming but we still have NYCC and the 1027 event and I imagine they're saving more stuff reveals etc. For those events
I suspect you're right Scott - Nemmy must be getting held back for another event. they know there's excitement for it for sure. I think they did preview too soon though. It's particularly frustrating when there's in-hand leaks of him coming out of the East too. :(
@MoDXtraGC at least if there are folks getting their hands on them out east and we've seen him in packaging he's gotta be close....but I definitely need him to loom behind Serpentor....at least until we get the rest of the Cobra la team
A cool video of a very underwhelming panel. Dunno why they wasted so much time on that poxy video game and the whole Dan Larson reading from a tele-prompter tosh!
I don't mind that ancillary stuff so much... when there's time to do it all justice. Which there wasn't. I've got another vid on the way discussing that very topic soon.
@@MoDXtraGC But why wasn't there enough time? It was all pre-recorded video, uploaded to the internet! Why not give each brand as much time as needed? Even if it was spread over two days, it's not like the various fanbases would complain! This is like the easiest shit to do, yet Hasbro manage to fuck it up o0

I remember my grandma taking me to toys r us and I got zandar. I loved him.

Love how saw viper has a ski mask under that helmet 👍

Thanks for the run down mate! Its always great to hear it in a brit voice lol
Cheers dude :)

I think he's also the dude who works at the carvery pub down the road...
Zandar needed some hints of true blue other than that 🎉🎉🎉
I think that's my only criticism of what I saw too - otherwise I agree, he looks like he's going to be another banger!
@@MoDXtraGC I think ill end up adding a few hints of true blue.
@@MoDXtraGC star duster is definitely part of the lqtbq line. Hard pass
The baton is called a PR24 and the submachine gun is an Uzi
Thanks Ultramag. The precise lowdown from an individual in the know :)
Doc, crank case, heavy metal, and thunder were killed first. Breaker, crazy legs, and quick kick were killed trying to escape
Cheers Jennifer. I actually re-read it just last night because the SAW Viper reveal had me thinking about it. Iconic ARAH comic moment.
