My only gripe is on the AWE STRIKER and everything else is awesome. The AWE STRIKER just needs front tires that match the rear ones in size then it'll rock.

I had no idea Fanshobby was going their version of a Cobra F.A.N.G. but looking at images of it, there's a lot of liberties taken (Looks as if they're re-using the mold for the Sky Hawk) and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'd rather wait on a Hasbro version but yeah, they are for sure taking a while on vehicles. I feel like this shouldn't even be a no brainer as the F.A.N.G. isn't a large vehicle and it has a LOT of support from the fans of the OG toys and it doesn't take up a lot of real estate.

I think Hasbro overproduced on Star Wars, MCU that still sit on pegs. They put this Company into the crapper ran by a computer company executive, making toys. They put everyone with their stocks first, above customers and kicked all their help and talent out the door. Then moving to Boston to loose more employees. They might end up putting the company into Bankruptcy eventually. Kids don’t want their toys and tariffs will cost them dearly. They need to rethink their strategy and ask the public what we want. Make things easier.

I was shocked that the Classified AWE Striker and Gridiron’s similar Vehicle came out the same day. Hasbro will try to undercut Gridiron, because of the $200 price. You are right. Gridiron made the Snake already that fits figures. Fan’s Hobby made the SkyHawk. Ramen made all the Tanks. Hasbro is slacking and leaving money on the table. I think they are busy making digital Roblox games for kids. Options are options. Like CT toys and Marvel Legends.

Awesome review adding this one to my collection , Good army Builder & like you I also I'm glad they are making more realistic figures with realistic army uniforms 🪖 instead of the bright colors. Great background display (diorama) The Telephone 📞 booth that's a classic . Refreshing seeing reviews like this. 👍 ...

Darklawn is “I think” an early 90’s figure.. I think though he is someone’s brother… the snake looks “to me” about the same size as your maxed out trouble bubble so I believe it would easily house a figure. .. they may have even taken the idea from grid iron lol…

Hasbro is going after gridiron for sure. But 3D printing is not the way. It may look good, but they melt, warp, break easy. It will never beat injection molded.
@209edd7 сағат бұрын
I mean you have a point right now, that is the case how about Resin though? does resin hold up better? it looks much better than extruded printing, but there has to be a reason why people don’t use resin …and I do remember the first weapons I got from Gridiron would actually bent if they were hanging out in sunlight too long

One of the main reason Hasbro is sinking is because of leadership, the current company president is trying divest Hasbro from a toy company with an over 100 years of toy manufacturing into a media and software company.

I agree they’re trying to become something that they were never intended to be. It’s just sad to see the company being led by morons. Concentrate on your core product. I get that there are sometimes sometimes you have to shift but changing the entire make up of what accompany is and what it’s was designed to do is nearly impossible. It says if you told FORD to become a poultry factory.

Great video! For me, Hasbro's distribution is awful. There are so many classified figures I never even saw at retail, which I would have bought. Yeah, I could have ordered online, but the thrill of toy collecting for me is personally hunting and finding a desired toy. Ordering just doesn't do it for me personally. They have figures that go directly to liquidation and don't even hit retail. Seems like a total clusterfruck to me.

AT least figures from Cobra La would be original figures to the line, and not more repaints. Also, you really need to read the current comics of the Energon universe. They are combining the GI JOe and Transformers universe, and Cobra La is a big part of the story line. You're gonna see more Cobra La. LIke it or not, it is the origin of everything GI Joe. You wouldn't have Cobra Commander without Cobra La, and you don't have GI Joe form without Cobra Commander forming Cobra. Its time for fans to embrace the true story of Gi Joe for what it is, and not what they want it to be.

What I was told the big issue with Rob Liefeld was, and no idea if it's the full story. He tried doing some kind of crowd funded project, supposedly received tens of thousands of dollars from fans and then bailed. No product released or refund given. Again no idea how accurate that is but the person that told it to me, I feel, is a reliable source.

It might’ve made more sense for 120-130 … I get they are smaller and it’s niche … but if they would’ve focused in on making a fair profit at lesser price by selling more they would’ve done 2 things 1. Made collectors happy and made a decent profit 2. Made more collectors aware of their presence… as popular as GI studios is they are still small … this would’ve been a HUGE MARKETING move I’ll talk more in the news about it …

To be fair to LC he seems like he's trying to improve at least. The double joints are a step up and he is an indie toymaker trying to produce a style of action figure that freakin' Hasbro still hasn't perfected in almost two decades so there's bound to be hiccups. I think *if* these things were in a similar price range a lot more people would bemoan Legends for not being more like these than the other way around. But only if. Despite not having any clue who this guy is I almost have nostalgia-by-proxy for him because he reminds me so much of the 5" '90s TB X-Men line. I still won't get this but it captures its era very well. I still can't bring myself to be that charitable towards Liefeld's art, however.

I have watched almost all my Action Figure reviewers get their shot of reviewing Cabot and or Bloodwulf and not a single one seems to have read this comic in the 90's. So everyone calls them knock off Cable and Lobo. I feel like I was the only one who has read them. Sure Liefeld couldn't draw feet but in the 90's at Image and he had to create an entire line of characters for his Extreme studios and he stretched himself to the point that he couldn't make deadlines and his writing was never that great, but the books were entertaining. Good honest review of this figure. He cost a little more but there are lots of paint apps, even under the vest, I want to say that you get what you paid for, and compared to Marvel Legends, you get a lot more. Is it worth $75? No, maybe $35-40 coming from this smaller company.

I’m shocked when I see people buying these trash figures. If they were $25 maybe purchase for review purposes but they are expensive figures of awful characters. Rob Liefeld is a terrible artist & hack writer, don’t mention Deadpool..better comic creators polished him into something good. Liefeld thought to rip off Cable with Cabbot but it went nowhere, Bloodwulf is a turd version of Lobo. How did this nonsense stuff even get made? Nostalgia for 90’s.. why? Any other Image comic from that era had better art & characters. Crazy.
