Side note: I've gotten the McFarlane Batman figures. But not Batman himself. The articulation for this Batman is apropos... Because the back gets broken. It's unacceptable for all other Batmans; yeah it's the same. I misspoke. I do have McFarlane Batmans. I have unmasked Thomas Wayne. And Death Metal Batman. The best figures are the initial Harley Quinn from the 90s Cartoon❤, and Arkham Asylum Joker! I also have Joker-corrupted Nightwing and Joker from Mortal Kombat 11, which is a great starting point, just needs more paint. I'd rather it be inadequately painted than inadequately sculpted; you can always add paint!😅

I like the cover art better. The interior page doesn't make sense physically. And in wrestling, whenever that maneuver is done, it's a forward lunge. One knee touches for support. So the interior artist just didn't think it through so much. Bane's arms should be on top of Batman as the cover art suggests, if the back is to be broken.

I'm waiting for mine to be shipped. I ordered one from Pulse. Beach Head Was always one of My favourite Joes. I never had the OG figure but I have the 25th anniversary. I kinda wish the green Was more "mikitary olive" shade but I understand it's matching the OG look. Wouls love to see extra set of hands.

good review bro I agree that class is and should have differences with retro I don t like the n creepers s purple, and no Cobra logo... I d want dark blue, or c red WITH a logo Voltar, Darklon, circus colours.... give us dark grey, or dark red retro can be as they were, ridiculous. the packaging it looks good to me, perhaps best ever, except... I miss the locker and accessory bag, the plastic now is super tight, to the point where I fear breaking weapons or else. I never was zealous about the window either, but, I appreciate to see torso - head the art is light years from some butchy drawings in early releases though, much better! pfff, those comic - cartoon references... just the Billy name makes me nauseous, who ever thought I d want to know about a CC son? there were about 40 characters released by that time, I want to know about those! I want Rambo - commando comics, not this soap.... I stick to the files, as long as they don t inspire from the comics - cartoons. oh yeah, we re at this point where face sculpts sell figs I don t want her red, but green camo, but even then I m tempted because she looks amazing, she even has some make up... I did nt get her in the 80s, I was more picky at that period too much joes, not enough cobras, and had enough ninjas already I think it was ok before the ferret and valkyries, military is like racing, very few women... it has to reflect life, not an agenda.... illusions, deception. I put my women in safe places, they get hurt, but don t get killed... I admit I learned a new thing with these Japanese women warriors, and I know quite a lot. aside from Pytona, which is a mysterious mystical and exotic type of woman, only Destro s faction could improve by getting a new woman no, Baroness stays with Cobra... you can never leave Cobra ever... I really appreciate the dif posing and comparisons at the end, great finish! so now you know... good show bro
@HiItsMe-uk7mq3 күн бұрын
Interesting perspective, you dont like the comics or cartoons, just the file cards, and of course you know the cards are based on Larry hamas bios, that he used to inform the character depictions in the comics, It kinda seams like your not that into "Gi joe" but are more a military enthusiast, thats cool, And I enjoy that perspective , but you might be in for alot of disapointment with GIjoe, As it is military ,but also has a long history of being very different to a "commando comic". IF I were you I might focus on customizing GIjoes to your liking . That would be cool to see. or Find a line that focuses more on "real life military" like ultimate soldiers or vintage 60s joes. The Classified line references heavily the Arah era of gijoe , which is less a reflection of real life military, And more of an example of an ultimate friend group wrapped in a military context. The Brand found huge success in visualy depicting both military specialty/skills, and personality and background traights, This is why we get less od green and camo uniforms/prodtctive gear, and more "costume " decisions that show individuality. While Jinx wearing bright red wouldnt make sence in a real life military op, It does alot to tell us about her background / personality and speciality. WIthout needing to even read the file card. In the Arah, and now classified context the personality depiction will often out weigh the combat reality. This is how Baldys Grandmother was able to show him that He can be proud of the strong woman that are in his family, and that he could bring there traits and values into his own moral development. The depiction of woman in gijoes military isnt so much about an agenda to get woman into combat, Its more about examples of stong moral traights that can be emulated by people regardless of physical form. The Idea is for us to be able to see the personality inside the uniforms. So we can relate to the types of people our military is made up of. IM not trying to poo poo your perspective on gijoe, Or even say my perspective is correct, Lots of ways to enjoy the Brand, But just offering some perspective I found helpfull in tempering expectations.
