Its so funny to me as someone who collects joes, marvel legends, and lightning collection. Joes and the rangers get fantastic accessories along with alt heads and hands. Then legends gets maybe hands nowadays 🤣.
Great review of this new character. I am hoping to get him through Entertainment Earth. He looks great. The helmet looks like what is I think what is being used by the US Military, but I will research it when I get it.
6:33 the stock is upside down fresh from the package. You flipped it correctly so it folds along the curve of the top of the shotty. But with it flipped, the shoulder pad is now upside down (it’s right side up out of the package). If you flip the pad, also, both will be correct and lay nice and fold out nice.
I am back at GI Joe collecting. Got recently, SnowJob, The Valkyries, Scrap Iron, Big Ben, Grunt and Tiger Force Bazooka (was cheaper than the red shirt version).
I still need to get Shipwreck, Copperhead, Torpedo and a couple more that were released lately. I have Buzzer in my Pile of Loot along with Ultra Magnus, and some MotU figures. I'll be shipping those tomorrow when I get paid (can't drain my savings too much). Can't wait for the VAMP preorders!!!
@@chefatron Amazon had a sale last October 10-11 and I got Scrap Iron at a discounted price! Hasbro Pulse exclusives are the most expensive because of the shipping!
I have been curious about this figure it has been sold out at hasbro pulse for ages now and everywhere else I know to look has it as a preorder item with a next year delivery date. You have a resourceful collection of sites to hit to get them much earlier on, even before hasbro release them 😂I think he’s still preorder I did decide to get multiples of them because it’s masked and I realize that figures like beach head are a single character with a whole back story I don’t know him from the cartoons era or comic that I’ve read on Joes so for me at least it’s a troop builder option besides the Grunt and Steel Brigade groups that they’ve often made. I’ve even heard collectors state they were taking the Shooter character to make into an army builder with the second sculpt she comes with. Kinda personal pref. Personally I’d like to see them have made these always masked and helmeted GI Joe team members with a second headsculpt unmasked for variety in the character if they want to designate them as a stand alone Joe team member vs green shirt Joe.
oh no.... but I hope you get your pre-orders soon bro yeah I agree that shooter figure... I'm on the fence on it... I'll decide whether to get it or not if I see it in a shop....
indeed.! I hope you get yours soon! did you pre-order? right, just like Grunt... I thought you could troop build that figure.. you know so you'll have several grunts in your team... I think the Steel Corps Troopers are army-build-able, though...
Great review, BTW. He looks like a very good figure. I wish he came with an unmasked head, though. There were rumors floating around earlier this year, based on Walmart inventory system leaks (I think), that Wolf Spider was originally planned to be a Joe troop builder but Hasbro changed it up somewhere in the production process. I’ll definitely be picking him up when he drops in the US.
@chefatron there is very high "Anti AR/Anti Gun" sentiments in the US. Hasbro initially did not want to use "real" weapons for the classified line to stay away from anti gun advocates. For alot of people an "AR" is the same symbol as a skull and crossbones...not me..for me an AR is a symbol of America..but this post could start a huge fight..so I'll close with that.
@davelovelock4007 @chefatron you also have to remember in the cartoon version of gi joe they all used stun lasers , it was the comic that used actual guns
