@@SquimJim I guess,but I'm not too sure about buying irl promos these days. All my cosmetics are filled,and I guess i don't need them. Though if they were fairly cheap,it would be a nice addition to my collection of crap.
@@DogDogGodFog Laszlo is a NPC from HL2 who got killed by ant lions by touching/moving over the sand. And inactivated you to not stand on it during this particular level.
I kinda wish another toy company takes another shot at making highly articulated figures of the TF2 Mercs, like SH Figuarts, Figma, or maybe some other third party company. ... even if it's just so that Heavy can come with a SANDVICH
Id love SH or Figma. I have a couple of em and id absolutely love the TF2 mercs in the quality and poseability of those. Even if theyre expensive, id buy them.
14:20 "he looks dead on the inside" as a sniper main, i can confirm that is game accurate *the amount of missed shots, flanking scouts and spies, hitting a 150 only for it to be not good enough, it yelling at you practically saying "you're not good enough"*
These figures seem like the ones that are supposed to be kept in the box. Beautifully built, sure. But hard to move, low quality plastic, no base, and cheap feel are all criticisms I’ve heard around.
Yeah kind of feel like some of them could have been a lot better they kind of remind me of the Doom Slayer figure on paper sounds badass and looks fun but when you get him it's kind of lame especially since he's so stiff and not very good for poses. You can barely do any cool stuff like you can't put him in the iconic pose and what makes it worse but this only applies to people who pre-ordered it is they've kind of ripped off people who pre-ordered it by charging them extra when you can get it for like 22 dollars at GameStop
The ones I have stay in the boxes just because I know myself well enough to know that I'll lose the extra weapons if I take the figures out and try to pose them.
I got a blu demoman and his hands are painted brown. Its actually a blue plastic just painted over. It scrape's off too easily when putting his guns in his hands. Still love it but thats my issue
I love the new intro, but I'm not sure about the new character. I liked the 80s look with the jacket. Though that may just be me being too used to the old design. Anyways, keep up the great work!
It’s strange that the quality of these figures is so varied, considering that NECA have such a good track record. I own quite a few other NECA figures (mostly from various horror lines), and they all look amazing, have plenty of accessories and are generally quite articulated. Their Alien and Predator lines are particularly good.
"One conplaint specifically about Demoman, is that even with the base he can be really hard to stand" Well what do you expect, 1. You gave him -booze- scrumpy 2. *It's Demo*
the figures honestly remind me of not only the feeling of the tf2 universe, but the state of the game as well. So I guess they did a good job of making them.
I remember getting Demoman, Heavy, and Soldier back in the day and being disappointed in them. My Demoman’s leg broke off when I tried to pose him and my Heavy’s ankle broke off when he fell off the shelf. Soldier’s pretty good though, but the all of the figures have paint that flakes off. I like like NECA, but I feel as though the toy license should’ve gone to another company Also, I managed to fit Heavy’s shotgun in Soldier’s hand
Considering that Max Factory did make some Portal 2 figmas and Nenderoids for the co-op bots, having TF2 figmas (especially with modern day figure engineering) would be absolutely rad.
I recently got the Medic figure and I was actually able to get the medi gun in his proper hand. It was a bitch and I kept thinking it would break but I got it in there. However those little wires on the bottom of the barrel broke but they can be moved back into place.
Nice. If I'm being honest ill probably try to remove the medigun and back pack. At the least just the gun and to put it back on I'll use black yarn or something.
@@menacingduke2415 I could not for life of me get the syringe gun or bonesaw in either hand though. But yeah the medi gun hose/tube is very awkward and stiff. I got the Medic figure new only a week ago and it was in the box since 2018, so the hose is even stiffer from being stuck in one position for two years. The bonesaw ended up making a great prop for a stop motion project though.
@@realmythshade9940 it's interesting really i sometime tap on profile pictures and about 9 times out of 10 a lot of the subs are you tubers i have seen before. Fascinating isn't it?
As someone who is now actively collecting tf2 merch, I really like these figures! They’re mediocre at worst and I never open them, so if you’re taking my route then I definitely think these are really good. They are very expensive tho and my personal price limit per figure is $200 so remember to set price boundaries
Nice new intro. Also thank you for reviewing this product I had never heard of before and help me with my decision on whether or not to purchase them which I something I was definitely thinking about.
I'm jealous that you could find any of these in a Target. The only ones I've been able to find out in the wild were one each of Scout, Sniper, and Medic in a comic shop and I saw but didn't purchase a Soldier figure in a booth at a convention once. I only opened the packages of my figures enough to get the cards out to redeem the codes and then taped them back up to keep the weapons from getting lost (because I know myself well enough that I know that would happen).
I'd love to see these come back with much more consistent quality, they seem to get better and better each wave. Also, I would love the little detail of them all having all of their stock weapons. In addition, there could be a sentry, dispenser and teleporter buildings as separate figures
Breakfast you LEGEND. Making your new intro a parody of the Megaman cartoon intro is something I did not know I needed in life. Legit it looks fantastic, great job.
Thanks for the upload, nice breakdown. I just completed the set of RED team at great personal expense for the later figures and I'll never open them, so watching your video is the closest I'll come to playing with them
I think the Gentle Mann's Service Medal is included because it's a bodygroup that's part of Soldier's actual model rather than being a separate item bonemerged on top like all the other cosmetics in the game.
It's nice seeing all these figures out of the box for me since I too own all the figures (all the red team color) still mint in the box right next to my desk
Honestly, why Neca? The only worse choice for these guys imo would have been McFarlane. (And they made much better figures when the TF2 line was first coming out.) I wish figures like this would get licensed to better companies. An SH Figuarts TF2 line would blow me away. Regardless, it might be fun to get sniper and kitbash all of my cosmetics onto him.
Hasbro would've been the best for simple playability and overall cost of the figure. Neca is good, just not with the sort of cartoony style. They are normally best with the horror movie figures and other things.
@Tanner Barnes McFarlane has actually been doing some decent figures as of late , Dc , Fortnite , ect , so Neca was literally the worse possible choice .
It’s kinda weird seeing some of NECA’s other stuff. I mainly collect the horror figures, it feels like the quality in these are a lot worse than what I’ve come to expect from their figures. Great vid and thanks for allowing a view into another collectors toys!
I wish either Neca would remake these figures (since Neca now makes super high-quality figures that look good and are super posable) or they would get another toy company (like McFarlane) to make new figures. But knowing Valve, and the current state of TF2, it’ll probably never happen.
I think the reason Soldier is the only one with a cosmetic, The Gentlemen’s Service Medal, is because his stylised profile picture has him wearing the medal, which is presumably what the action figures were based off.
I've got the blue heavy and red engy. The minigun's barrel has broken off 😬 and engy stands lop sided which sucks. I've had them a while though so tbh its expected.
"Why is soldier the only one with a cosmetic" *Fast-forward way after production to the voice actors death* It's almost like they knew it was going to happen. You were good son, real good, maybe even the best. You deserve that cosmetic.
i really dont want to be disrespectful but i found it kinda funny how you basically said “its like they know this human person was gonna die” again, no disrespect to you or rick may
thanks for showing me this! on christmas ill probably buy the tf2 heavy figure cuz it was 100 DOLLARS i was like holy crap but then i realize that it was really cheap for a 2013 action figure that isnt even in print anymore
gotta thank youtube recomendations and you for making me want to buy tf2 merch only problem tho, in Brazil I can't just stumble upon stuff in a store, and most of the cool merch is either unavailable in an online store, or just expensive af (like the figures), and I didn't even saw the horrors that could come with the shipping costs
Fun fact. At one point these figures were supposed to come packed with a hat. (Corresponding with the hat you unlock when you use the code). I recall seeing somewhere a picture from SDCC one year where NECA had the figures on display. And it showed the Heavy wearing his ushanka, and off to the side were the Gloves of Running Urgently.
Dont say "Demoman is wobbly" of course he's freaking wobbly, hes Demoman! He's freaking drunk! It's not a problem, it's a feature. It's a *freaking feature.*
I've got the Blu Demo, and I agree that the hands can be frustrating. I think the trigger of the Grenade Launcher or the Sticky Launcher snapped off by accident, but, that's life for ya
I have started collecting these in Summer 2020, and so far I only have BLU Spy and Engineer.. and Medic. I want all of them, mostly BLU Heavy and Soldier, but they are extremely expensive nowadays and I'm trying to get them all fresh in the box (not to keep them in box but rather to get the satisfaction of owning a brand new figure as if I got them when they were released and for the cards and stuff) So if for some reason some one is reading this- Wish me luck! also Good Luck on whatever you are doing in this current point in time.
I didn't even remembered I left this comment but in case anyone stumbles upon it. I have gotten all the tf2 action figures :D not all colors but ya know.
