FIST Trooper Review…Disappointing?

[@smyers9052]

I think the issue with the shoulders is that they aren't seeded into the body enough and they really aren't sculpted, they are just balls.

[@Figure_Collective93]

They make figures in those other countries not because they have it "dialed" it's because they have horrible labor laws and America takes advantage of that.

[@Getbaddudes]

A guy from their factory was at JoeFest. Before I op Ed one. I asked what they learned through this process. This is the factory’s first action figure line. He said they made paint improvements after the initial production and the joints have had some upgrades.

I agree a little bit overkill on the dry brushing. Great review buddy.

[@fatredfu]

If I was a 1:12 guy, I'm not, I'd probably try to custom this guy into a Doom figure, add some shoulder pads to soften the round edges... It looks like it has some potential... But it has a chap mei look vs. GI Joe

[@walterwright8454]

Definitely an A for effort but I think it is a C+ compared to GI Joe Classified.

[@ryantorney5581]

I’ll admit , I passed on this initial wave of Fist. I see a ton of growth potential and ambition in the line, but there wasn’t a lot of visual assurances that I needed to gamble on a new line. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but there was just something about the shoulder system that felt unintended. And I’m with you on the weapons. Money was saved in these guns , sure. But the gun metal dry rush only served to draw attention to that corner they cut. I know they wanted war damage , but the base colouring isn’t present enough to realize that. In the end , 1 color with poor application is a lesson in itself. I hope they prioritize that fix for a second wave. Great review Punk, I like seeing what was there! They definitely have a workable premise. Orcs vs humans always hits. And with tweeks for follow on waves ,I d like to think this line has a lot of potential to impress fans of Warhammer, Warhammer 40k, Shadow run, Dungeons and Dragons or even the movie “ Blight”.

[@thetitan914]

Great to see the potential is there, I've been tempted but holding back to see how the line goes. Beside your excellent content, you forgot to mention how incredibly humble you are.......I'll say it for you, probably the most humblest toy reviewer on all of KZbin (please let me know if I wrote that correctly.....lol)

[@caseyjonessnr1200]

Excellent video and review of an interesting figure. Lawrence, I agree with all of your comments. Hopefully the figures will improve. 22:59

[@TropicThunder54]

I did pre order the mohawk guy to add ranks for my dreadnoks.

[@DownSouthSeven7]

They looked pretty good but I was wondering about the quality. I wouldn't mind getting one after they get a couple waves out and iron out some wrinkles. Thanks for showing him to us.

[@Getbaddudes]

Patriot Force is not part of Invincible Toys, but they shared a space with them. Their figures look awesome.

[@_Kimberlin]

definitely looks like a dollar store toy with the paint and sculpting

[@quodnomenmihiest6283]

Maybe they should ditch the figures and focus on armor, head portraits and other equipment for use with Joe's and Valaverse figures.

[@MN-JUGGALOfam]

lol the fist troopers line gives me the corps 1/18th line vibe in 6 inch

[@DareDevilDave75]

I am doing a display designed around all you guys I hung out with Thursday night. It’s going to include a garage door, and a bag of mulch (if you know, you know). How can I go about getting a Roman figure?

[@DareDevilDave75]

I know Roman wasn’t there, which is unfortunate, I want to pet the puppy! I really wanna add them to my collection

[@johnlogan9427]

I was waiting to pass judgement until I saw a figure in a review. That being said, this figure looks like bootlegged junk. The paint looks horrible, the joints look horrible, the weapons look stupid, and quality is just not there. That left leg thigh cut gap is horrible. I wouldn't be so harsh if it was a $10 figure like it looks to be, but at $32? Yeah, that company isn't lasting long if they don't make some serious course corrections. I wouldn't waste a dime on these personally. The designs look goofy too. That one is honestly the best looking character design. This is going to sound mean, but it looks exactly like what you'd expect a GI Joe knockoff figure from South America to look like.

[@cyberfrank-bx2nv]

eh. if it looks like a duck...

[@DareDevilDave75]

I feel like the weapons are a little too glossy

[@shawnforrester1610]

These look like bootlegs to me. Joints look odd. And gaps in the thighs and shoulders. Plus the paint apps are just bad. Great review it’s a pass for me.

[@fightincodenames481]

Great review Punk . Your honest reviews are always a first watch when I open up YT. I picked them up at joefest but haven’t opened yet . I was happy to support this company them seem like they are really trying. Did you pick up that weapons crate next to the ramen toys booth?

[@vadoraid2517]

I might try the Mohawk guy, because these are $31 & on bigbad. I could sneak him in the joes/vala

[@Apunkwithtoys]

It should work with them.

[@MoClectic]

Plug in holsters…idk about that..will probably glue that…preordered Mad Dog…nice review…only guy doing it..heard you mention AWOK on another vid…that is a dope line…

[@jtscustomcutlery317]

So for it’s not looking so good. Less quality and more expensive than gi joe classified, not interested. Thank you for putting this through its paces. I was hopeful at first but I think I’ll wait until the next round

[@Apunkwithtoys]

It’s too bad and contrary to what some may think, I don’t look to give out bad reviews. Hopefully they will fix things going forward

[@whitevegeta6770]

For me much like yourself the gray/silver paint was way more distracting than helpful. You should check out the orc. They don’t have it and I think look much better.

[@Charlie_5.5]

I bought this same Trooper at JoeFest. Molded butterfly joints that don't function!? Floppy loose R leg, odd shoulders, etc etc. They have a interesting creative concept and look, but this figures design/engineering has to be revisited. Fair review, I hope others will be as classy when reviewing this figure.

[@DareDevilDave75]

The shoulders are definitely hard to look at

[@modelmisfit]

@@DareDevilDave75now I know what pics to send you

[@modelmisfit]

So before I watch this I don’t care for the shoulders, the plug in gear and the chest armor. Other than that the joints feel ok maybe a bit loose but for the first outing not terrible

[@stanleyhaynes8743]

Simple and honest, ty.

[@Vexxed_]

Those look like prints you can get from Donman Art Collectables. I am a member of his patreon and the weapons and head sculps really look like what he offers. He also offered full printable figures that look very similar. But in package i could tell these definitely are not for me, glad I didn't ask you to grab me any.

[@modelmisfit]

These are made by Esteban (donman art) that’s why they look like his, they are!

[@KensToys74]

I've yet to pull the trigger on these. The reviews of watch seem mixed with both good and bad. Those ball shoulder's look like something from the old toybiz legends.

[@thetruth1013]

lol only $31 dollars

[@maddrop]

for that dollar store quality it should be less than 15 bucks.

[@maddrop]

Nice review. This figure has an awful proportion issue, the paint is also very cheap and the price point does not help at all. 30 bucks for that is way overpriced

[@CookiesBricks]

Those weapons are rough

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Agreed

[@armoriya]

Absolutely not. This is not it.

[@sherwoodcrump3716]

I haven’t heard of these but after your video I might buy one. Good review and thanks for posting it.

[@popblender]

Ole loosey legs!

[@bubby14]

Nice effort, but looks like a custom Classified figure with Dollar Store weapons. Pass.

[@TheRealGrievance]

OK OK potential there

[@cyberfrank-bx2nv]

good exotic review bro ok, good, so we got a back up plan if China cuts us off, how bad is it? mmm, the 3 D printed heads are an interesting novelty. I feel same as you for the weapons from what I see there... yeah, the colours and overall design is cool, but, there s plenty of spots where you can see it s a more primitive design.... clueless 'wear' techniques all over, loose harness, obvious joints, robot shoulders... to do well, these would have to be $5 - 10 less to compete he d do a good cheap merc to send dying like in Ukraine, idiots who throw their lives away. dressing hunter at Wal mart, thinking he s going to outdo Rambo on a budget ah, I totally agree with your final thoughts, it has to be cheaper, or the only brand on shelves... I think that any newcomer will need a solid system - structure to survive the big crowd. like eagle force, 2 heads x body, leader - troopers - army builders both in one package you make a very solid design, and give enough weapons for dif types of troops only 4 models - factions at first, figs that pop, robots, cults, military, mercs, action more than 4 could be too risky, and I d cut costs to a minimum. I love the background scene, like Zartan and gang laughing at this upstart rookie, D so now you know... good show bro

[@Stygian360]

I grabbed Mad Dog at Joefest. The QC could be better and the limbs aren't as snug as I'd like but the sculpt is amazing and the accessories are 🔥

[@Apunkwithtoys]

There’s a lot of promise, but this is not a good figure

[@Stygian360]

@@Apunkwithtoys agreed. The first mad dog that I walked away with the knee exploded on me and I needed a replacement. Even the replacement had QC issues. I'm chalking it up to growing pains and a factory unfamiliar with producing action figures. People sometimes forget that Asia has been doing figures for decades. There's always growing pains with new factories.

[@Getbaddudes]

@@Stygian360I had a similar takeaway. The elbows and knees are loose on the strippers I bought. The guy from the factory said this is their first fully articulated action figure line, so I am hoping they improve.

[@Stygian360]

@@Getbaddudes frankly, they can only improve from here 😁

[@hammbone8184]

My worst figure purchase of 2024 These are not good figures. These are like some AliExpress off brand gi.joe knock-offs.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

I’m so glad I only bought one, it was just not a good figure. It felt like something you would buy at the Dollar General for $7 for your kid.

[@sargecollects]

Those deltoids are ugly. It reminds me of those bodybuilder guys who inject themselves with oil to look HUGE. Love your videos as always.

Damn that's rough.the sculpting reminds me of something out of the late 90s. Hopefully they can improve because there are a TON of independent companies putting out great figures right now
