The concept for this character is something you'd expect from The Tick universe, but the action figure is just beautifully over the top in a positive way.
Fun looking figure. The wings share design elements with Keaton's Vulture's. The articulation on them is very welcome. If I get him I'll heat up the headress and try to seat it lower on his head.
I'm pretty happy with that flightpack. I never really liked the old school rocket packs. I couldn't get past how no one could steer them how they were designed. I'd like to see a trooper option with a feathree free pack.
Great review of a great figure. I'd love to see Voltar in the line with that condor or vulture, whichever it was. Memories lean to Condor, but I could be wrong. Even if we consider the training and/or genetic manipulation of the birds, Ledger is a perfect size. We're talking about size differences between a hawk and a bald eagle. The eagle is substantially larger. Even Polly being smaller than Ledger fits. Polly is an Amazon Parrot, Ledger is (I think) meant to be a Cooper's Hawk or a red-tailed hawk and of course Freedom and Niyol are both eagles
Hi from Canada, cool figurine, sad we not having the option of the little falcon with the hood on or flying mode open wings like on the behind is Box like Gi joe spirit and freedom
On my third purchase of this figure. You didn't cover the excessively tight shoulder joints. All 3 of mine are terrible, even after using oil to loosen them up...on all three. The figure is done very well. My only two complaints are that the backpack didn't have two pegs as you mentioned (or 3 like superior spiderman) and they should have given him a second head with a modern flight helmet with a raptor design painted on it. That would have made this figure top 20 for the year in my opinion.
I figured they would go with the movie-style Vulture wings for him, so no surprise there, but a deluxe figure should have at least gotten the same open/closed wings options for General Ledger that Freedom got. For that matter, why is he so small? Sure Freedom is oversized but that's the established scale...still, I like him better than I thought I would. Glad he still has his ridiculously huge belt buckle.
@@smyers9052 Yes, thank you genius, duly noted. But they are basically the same *style*. Learn to read before you jump in with a completely unnecessary comment next time.
@@darkangel076 I read it fine. Movie-style vulture wings could easily refer to reuse. I’ll let you consider your own words and figure out how that’s the case. Beyond that, it’s been said a bunch by people that they are in fact those wings, thought you might be confused. Didn’t realize you were going to be so offended. Sorry guy.
I never cared for this character back in the day. But Classified once again changes my mind. I think he works well as another Dreadnok. Maybe classified Crystal Ball with be part of that order of the serpent biz the Twilight Guard is in?
Found two today at my local Target, went to scan them to check the price, it said see associate for the price, long story short, they had been salvaged, and for the first time for me, he actually offered them to me still for 1.00 a piece 😳. So I was able to get 2 of these for a little over 2.00. Still can’t believe it 😂
Still waiting for mine to come but I reckon it's one of the top character updates. Looks pretty soild and more serious and could give spiderman vulture a run for his money raptor would make a good action film villian. The only other way they could make raptor darker would be to make him like a navajo indian witch doctor shaman or a skinwalker.
I wonder if this was used /retool for the new Captain America falcon figure that coming out which there two ver one green and the other is the Captain America colored
Awesome review. I did not pick this one up. I think if he had a backpack with straps similar to the recent parachute and could be used with other figures more universally, he may have had more appeal.
How does my boy Big Boa keep getting looped in with these weirdos lol. He's not that strange considering his role. A lot less whacky than a scientist with no shirt.
Great video as always! I was wondering do you know enough about plastic for me to trust you? 😂😂😂😂 kidding! Im getting him looks very cool much better than the original.
lol I get that reference. Bobby (the other one) problem is himself at times, his line is good but he runs his mouth about others... and goes off when called out for doing the same lol He can't take criticism, best thing he has done was hire ppl for his socials.
He’s a cool looking figure, but I’ll be skipping him. He’s too goofy of a character for me. Same with Big Boa. I’m waiting for the new storm shadow and the new figs coming early next year
I would much rather have a fabric cape. These mechanical wings just look like a reuse of the SM: Homecoming Vulture. Not into it at all. Sucks, because I really like the character.
I never understood the double joints,no one really uses them,that i see out there ,and the same people complain about mythic legions for none double joints,but really no really uses all that double joint stuff ,who poses there joes with the legs up in the air or way out there ,its not a didlker party for the figs lol
So you were born in the modern era when they changed up a lot of original characters I'm an old-school guy through and through I don't like this figure I would prefer just a cloth Cape with a articulate bird. I don't need all that jetpack crap. As I always say I collect for Nostalgia I don't collect for new stuff but to each their own so fair enough. I don't see this figure selling well on the shells either just like metal headset this one will you can't recreate these characters most people that are collecting them and are hardcore collectors aren't going to want this
The concept for this character is something you'd expect from The Tick universe, but the action figure is just beautifully over the top in a positive way.
I had all 3 of these as a kid. Big Boa, Raptor and Croc Master. They were my favorites.
Fun looking figure. The wings share design elements with Keaton's Vulture's. The articulation on them is very welcome.
If I get him I'll heat up the headress and try to seat it lower on his head.
I will say, this Raptor guy is certainly dedicated to the bit.
Very involved in his work 😂
It's giving me DC's "Black Condor" vibes.

Love this figure, it does have some issues and not sure why they did not add extra pegs on the backpack like Metal Head's backpack .
Was able to grab two of these for $10.49 each at Target. So happy about that.
Let's Go '87! Bring on CRYSTAL BALL!😁
Only if it's Creepy Super-Natural Crystal Ball

p.s. sorry for my writing im french =p
Yeah some changeable wings for the pet would have been fun!

Those aren’t the Vulture wings

@@smyers9052you got a lot of nerve pal
@@RogersSteveF45Explain, random person.
I'd probably switch the cowl with a motorcycle type helmet. Looks good though!!!
Now that you mention it, I'm surprised we didn't see some type of flight update

Will wait for target to slap this with a clearance price 2 months after its release.
So cool! Can't wait for my set
Nice bird doll bro !
I can’t stop thinking about the birds of flight song in it’s always sunny in Philadelphia
😂😂😂 Feathers of birds but bodies of men!
@@beesbattlegrounds they are not responding to the pageantry at all
Another unhooded head for the bird would of been cool

that would be wild
Very cool figure 👍👍👍👍🥪🥤
Great review! However, I wonder if his wing pack can be retooled into Jungle Vipers camo/ghillie pack?
He looks really good. I am passing on him, though, because I am goofy enough as it is and don’t need to add to the mix.
I'm running out of space otherwise I'd be tempted to pick him up
With the wings, he takes up some serious space
I wonder if this was used /retool for the new Captain America falcon figure that coming out which there two ver one green and the other is the Captain America colored
I hope mine comes with crazy eyes.
Fully cloth wings in retro? :P
I feel like they'd definitely reuse this jet pack somehow
Awesome review. I did not pick this one up. I think if he had a backpack with straps similar to the recent parachute and could be used with other figures more universally, he may have had more appeal.
A first-rate review of Raptor and his awesome accessories!
How does my boy Big Boa keep getting looped in with these weirdos lol. He's not that strange considering his role. A lot less whacky than a scientist with no shirt.
True 😂 aside from Boas look, he's a pretty grounded character
Have you read indentation? Raptor ties into infeststion2 😂 I love the IDW version of the more ridiculous characters.
I don't remember him in Infestation2, I'll have to reread it!
@@beesbattlegrounds I believe he was seen in the background of the insane asylum
Idk why thought raptor was a good guy
He's a bad guy, present when Fred takes over as CC
Is it just my internet or did the camera take minute to focus?
Might be both? I know if you catch it right after upload it can be finicky for a minute or two
@beesbattlegrounds yea I think it was just being finicky after upload, 22 hours later looks crystal clear lol
Great video as always! I was wondering do you know enough about plastic for me to trust you? 😂😂😂😂 kidding! Im getting him looks very cool much better than the original.
lol I get that reference. Bobby (the other one) problem is himself at times, his line is good but he runs his mouth about others... and goes off when called out for doing the same lol He can't take criticism, best thing he has done was hire ppl for his socials.
Waiting Game. This figure looks super sicc to me.
Great Review 👍🏼 👌🏽
Great review! When were you in Kuwait? That’s the only place I’ve seen a Falconer as well.
2016, you?
@@beesbattlegrounds 4/2022-1/2023 was the last time.
Love the group shot. Hate you for making me want this.
I eneded up liking it more than I would have thought
He’s a cool looking figure, but I’ll be skipping him. He’s too goofy of a character for me. Same with Big Boa. I’m waiting for the new storm shadow and the new figs coming early next year
Boa isn't too bad, aside from his wrestling/mad max look he's a grounded character IMO
I would much rather have a fabric cape. These mechanical wings just look like a reuse of the SM: Homecoming Vulture. Not into it at all. Sucks, because I really like the character.
They’re not reuse. Def inspired by, but a totally different sculpt
Not reuse but the same "update" to the design. Figure is still great and I'm sure there will be 3rd party wings available in no time
I never understood the double joints,no one really uses them,that i see out there ,and the same people complain about mythic legions for none double joints,but really no really uses all that double joint stuff ,who poses there joes with the legs up in the air or way out there ,its not a didlker party for the figs lol
Ppl use them 🤨
If you want them to crouch or look normal running it’s important. As for the arms, it’s the only way they are shouldering a firearm
@@smyers9052 ya I get that now,but I can shoulder a gun with the new mythic legions and they are single lol
@@dzsquad1965 That’s fair enough. Those are also $40+ a pop
