My only notes are that a second head option for the driver would be good (Like with the Trouble Bubble), and the grey panels are a bit too light. At a glance, the vintage Stinger just looks black, but on closer inspection, the wheel arches and roof is a dark grey. On this Classified offering, the grey contrasts too much and makes it look a bit patchwork. Depending on how it looks in person, I might spray mine with a darker grey colour.
I totally agree with everything you said. And great points. darkening up the light gray is a great idea. Hopefully it works out for you. Thanks for watching!
The footplate with mine will go to the VAMP so someone can actually mount the gun normally. The stinger doesn't really need a footplate on the rear. Since well rockets would blast off...
@@dgray3771 yeah I tried to put the foot plate on the bar on the vamp but the gas can rack gets in the way you might have to remove it in order to fit it on. Thanks for watching!
@@FigureFever I have very kind friends who lent me this to do the review, I'm still in the fence of actually purchasing this item. Thanks for watching figure fever!
I pre-ordered 2 Stingers unlike just one Vamp. I got 2 cause I'm one of those people who's going to Gridiron one up and have one stock. My og Stinger got played with alot.
Awesome review! Definitely something i want to pick up but want to back the Rattler so I'm saving up for that. Hopefully they're in stock after 2 months. Keep up the good work!🤘
Glad they FINALLY made a vehicle that is easy to get. Besides the night force shockwave every other vehicle has been so annoying to get, mostly because hasbro absolutely sucks and doesn’t know how to stock. Hopefully the C.L.A.W and the upcoming vehicles won’t be horrible to get. But great review bro
I'm out on Classified vehicles. I'm not dropping $50-100+ on a plastic car that doesn't do anything. The figures, if I want them, I'm keeping them on list for a price drop. But $100 for a car that doesn't do anything!?! My 3.75 collection is still impressive. I'll go find in that range & save shelf space. It looks great, but Hasbro I have bills
Awesome thanks! Does the rear platform fit on the Vamp ok with the gas cans? I wanted to make sure if the pegs have enough clearance to put a Joe manning the vamp guns
@@PhantomDruidunfortunately the gas can rack gets in the way of the platform. We may need to remove the rack in order to fit the platform. Thank you for watching.
Thank you for showing me what the driver really looks like, he's great looking but not exactly the same as the blue officer cause his upper torso is different.
My friend said: I just checked. It’s clipped very tight. I don’t want to force it. But I’m 99.9% sure that if you warm it up with a dry blower, it should be easy.
@@ratface44 I appreciate you double checking. Ordered one but looking forward to photographing the figures inside. Having the doors closed wouldn’t leave much visibility inside.
@@christopherduran5121 yeah you literally can't see anything inside the Stinger. The windshield is heavily tinted. If you had a flashlight you could probably see the figure inside.
Awesome review man and surprised as hell to see you have one of these already! Can't wait to get mine you've also convinced me to get an HMS I thought those were only for the H.I.S.S. which I don't have.😊
Oohwee! Not a bad little vehicle 🎉 Great video. Onwards to 1k🎉
Thank you very much Xazyl! Yo Joe!

I agree, I will use a PP officer head to make a grey one with a red traditional mask like it should be.

Laughed when you put the roof on backwards. Lighting up the missiles with the lights.
Thanks for watching
@@ratface44 good work Bub. Enjoyed the video. Was going to order from DJC but missed it by two days soooooo bummed.
@badwolfcustomairbrushingde1432 I had a chance to get it too. Luckily my friend lent it to me. Thanks dude!

@@SalCollects yeah I've been thinking about getting it. It's in stock at GameStop Canada. Thanks for watching Sal
You put the magazine in backwards on the Driver's gun. It is supposed to curve forward. Good Review!
@@billynonofyourbusiness3434 Thanks, I'll fix it!

Yeah I heard a lot of people missing out on the Vamp. Thank you for watching! Yo Joe!
They keep production down for price stability. Same as many other niche companies.
>finds instructions
>"I'll be sure to read that!"
>mounts tires backwards
>mounts roof backwards
Um...
@@CaptainSeato Yes, I know I fixed The roof during the video. I really don't care about the tires .Thank you for watching!
Nice. Can't wait to get mine in hopefully just a few more weeks when they start shipping.
@@jeffmorris508 Fingers crossed they ship out soon. Thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed the video!
Thanks you 🙏
Great vid! Both Stinger & Driver look great!
Oh Hell yeah ! Thanks for watching!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 can't wait to get it in hand
@@chadkinsler9865 Hell yeah thanks for watching!
Best vehicle this year till the dragonfly drops!
Unfortunately I'm not getting the dragonfly. I got the Vanguard coming soon and I'm excited for that!
Just ran across your video, awesome review ✌️
@@toysoldieroutpost hey, thanks a lot dude. I appreciate you watching! Yo Joe!!!
Great review! Thanks for including the Python Officer, as that gives great opportunities to do mix and match head swaps for various customizations.
I wish those python patrol officers were cheaper here in Canada I would definitely get a couple more. Thank you for watching.
Driver makes a nice army builder
@@bronxrob1552 that's a really expensive Army builder for sure. Thanks for watching!
@@ratface44 maybe they will package him solo one day
@@bronxrob1552 yeah I would really like that. Love the figure!
Looks cool! 😎 I wonder how it will look with the Grid Iron wheels & tires?
@@MythonThePython yeah, looking forward to seeing that. Thanks for watching Mython!

It looks great, but Hasbro I have bills
@@daveh013 It's really understandable. These vehicles are expensive that's why I didn't purchase it. Thanks for watching!
a lot of these classified vehicles would look great with marvel legends
For sure! Thanks for watching!
Ill come back after i open mine!
No problem my dude!
Let's go!!!! 💥💥💥💥💥
@@beesbattlegrounds Awesome dude! Thanks for watching!!
@@ratface44 it looks great!
😊
The driver is most obviously not the exact same as the Officer. Different head, helmet and torso. Those are borrowed from the trooper.
Will take a second lookThanks for watching
Awesome thanks! Does the rear platform fit on the Vamp ok with the gas cans? I wanted to make sure if the pegs have enough clearance to put a Joe manning the vamp guns

@@ratface44 Appreciate the heads up 🤝

I got my stinger too! ..they forgot to put the flashlight on mine too
@@BillLionaire12 my friend ordered two and there's no flashlight so I don't think it comes with it. Thanks for watching
Put the roof on backwards. Lights facing wrong way
@@cyriljackal I fixed it during the video. Thanks for watching
A cool review of a cool set!
For sure! Thank you for watching!
@@ratface44 👍
😀
Thanks for the review! 🍻
Thank you for watching Skyfall!
Great review as usual. 👍
Awesome, thank you very much!!
Cool vid cant wait for mine, It made me jiggle when you put the roof on backwards but you fixed it.
@@RoleKeeper lol thanks for watching!
Thank you for showing me what the driver really looks like, he's great looking but not exactly the same as the blue officer cause his upper torso is different.
also would an alt head be too much?
Cool Thanks for watching!
The HMS section was too short! Needed a zoom out to admire it! Maybe the figures posing next to it doing stuff would've been nice to see.
@@juancabeza5809 I'll post some on my Instagram. Thanks for watching!
@@ratface44 Thanks for the video! 😎👍
😊
Is there no bar for the people on the back to hold onto?
@@davidreeves4556 nope, they're screwed from the missiles firing 😆 Thanks for watching!
COOOOBRAAAAA
@@WANNAORDERPIZZA Yo Joe! Thanks for watching!
Can the doors be removed?
@@christopherduran5121I had to return the Stinger to my buddy but I'll ask him. Thanks for watching!
My friend said: I just checked. It’s clipped very tight.
I don’t want to force it. But I’m 99.9% sure that if you warm it up with a dry blower, it should be easy.
@@ratface44 I appreciate you double checking. Ordered one but looking forward to photographing the figures inside. Having the doors closed wouldn’t leave much visibility inside.

@@ratface44 a dry blower 🤣🥴
There sapper to be mail September 1
Hopefully sooner than that
Hmmm I might have get a 2nd one to custom into Dreadknok Thunder Machine 🤔🤔
That sounds awesome! Thanks for watching!
You need to figure out how to show a wider view of the toys. The video is way too close.
Yeah I don't have much space unfortunately. I definitely need to figure out something. Thanks for watching
Awesome review man and surprised as hell to see you have one of these already! Can't wait to get mine you've also convinced me to get an HMS I thought those were only for the H.I.S.S. which I don't have.😊
Me too. I don't have a Hiss. And I'm contemplating purchasing the Stinger off my friend. Thank you 4Feathers for watching!
Ordered two. Super stoked.
