00:31:44 - Phrasing! 🤣 sweet review. sorry to hear about the shoulder joints giving some trouble.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Thank you, sometimes I go off the rails 😂

[@R3alWear]

Bought a zarana today from Walmart and the arm fell off as I took it out of the package 😤

[@Apunkwithtoys]

No issues with my Zarana but had the issue with Cover Girl, so I do understand the frustration.

[@raypaz2947]

Dude how did you get them in so fast. Sometimes it takes playing with that shoulder joint. I like it. It looks great. They should have checked over that chainsaw attachment peg. I’m glad I preordered them. Good honest review.

[@whiskeytangofoxtrot2]

You get them so fast by paying extra money on shipping from overseas toy stores to get these figures early from overseas, why people cannot wait boggles my mind, I am happy to wait for mine, but I guess that is the life of a KZbinr.

@@raypaz2947 I can see doing this as a KZbinr in a way but then again if your subscribers are loyal you shouldn't have to try and be the first one to review items, just be patient.

time to magnetize the interchangeable parts

[@shawns1050]

Then you have to be prepared for a price increase for that feature 😆. That’s a premium type feature my guy

[@fitnessfrank83]

@@shawns1050 oh for sure. FrAnK was suggesting hobby type crafting stuff. lol you shouldn't have to do it but it's a fun mod for modders. mini magnets can run you about 40 a bundle and are relatively cheap. that coupled with a good mini drill for retention and some super glue

[@Apunkwithtoys]

I’ve been saying this since seeing the Plunderlings with magnets on the heads for there hats, they’re great.

[@seanm.collins9888]

Any stress marks on the leg hip pegs?

[@funken079]

So mine will not go into T pose and the rifle is a nice design but the floppy plastic sucks. The chest plate is ammo pouches on a molly plate.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

The T pose bothers me and same with the soft weapons, I’m pretty sure I’ve made that clear in my reviews 😂

[@denverty6952]

Anybody else noticed the white chest plates (both damaged and Cobra) are loose in this redeco?

[@Roadpigjohn]

This figure looks very cool man 😃👍

[@Buff88]

How does the Black Artic Bat head fit on the Crimson Bat?

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Good, I’ll show it tonight on Monday Night Toy Rambling’s when I go over pick ups.

[@Mïnd_8endîng]

Great review!

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Thank you.

[@Mïnd_8endîng]

@@Apunkwithtoys you do some of the best figure reviews around. Always impressed you show and give exactly what i want know. Thank you!:)

[@brians4016]

I just picked up an Artic B.A.T. from the latest restock on Amazon, and pains me to say I had all the same problems with it you encountered in your review, sir. :(

[@Apunkwithtoys]

The hat sucks and I hate it, the figure looks great but the issues drop it down a notch.

[@Stiffkittens01]

you can plug the chainsaw in the backpack using the black part and having it at an angle

[@Apunkwithtoys]

But that’s not how it’s supposed to work and doesn’t look right.

[@Stiffkittens01]

@@Apunkwithtoys I haven't seen any official photos yet of how it should be plugged in 🤷‍♂ Who would carry an unsheathed chainsaw on their back anyway 🤣

[@corneilusmcgillicuddy]

The way to keep the box art and include the window is to make the boxes with a flip cover, but that would probably add to the cost.

[@machineman6498]

Kind of a shame that one of the best looking bats has color specific parts fit. Really digging the silver terminator arms ( Henshin Cyborg)

[@loganholmberg2295]

wow this is disapointing. they modify the arm pegs a drop the ball on the backpack?😕😕

[@loganholmberg2295]

oh and the gun...😰😰

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Yeah, and really had no reason to. Makes it seem like maybe these come out of a different factory.

[@loganholmberg2295]

@@Apunkwithtoys I still got it on preorder with bbts but honestly I think I might canceling it after seeing your review. Its nice to see them chg up the bats finally but all the new parts sem poorly implemented and that sniper rifle bugs me. Its probably not shipping with bbts for quite a while so I'll see if I still feel the same in a few months.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

@@loganholmberg2295 he looks awesome but it would be a lie if I didn’t say I wasn’t disappointed in the QC issues.

[@Jake_E57]

I can't really say it's an oversight, because it obviously took planning, but it's really WEIRD that they changed the BAT mold in between variations so you don't have all those swapping options. What is an oversight is not making the chainsaw attachment fit the backpack. On the positive side the design changes are really cool and the colors work really well together.

[@foxglove9]

Time to start speaking with your wallets until QC issues get better

[@carlitosnomention4777]

Good job

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Thanks

[@TheMandalorianFanChannel]

Does the New Arctic Bat head with one eye fit on the male Cobra Blue Ninja Body ? Didn't know if you've read the recent Canon G.I. Joe A Real American hero comics over the past few years but there is a Faction of Blue Cyborg Ninjas that have Robot heads with one eye and they fight against Cobra and G.I. Joe and Cobra Commander kills their Leader because the Cyborgs killed his son. Later Cobra Commander has what's left of the Cyborgs work for Cobra and he uses their tech to upgrade the Cobra Bats that's why you're Artic Bat has the New Head. There are Multiple varients of the Cyborgs heads some one Eye some with multiple eyes throughout the comics.

[@Shark_Eyes]

Man that is not good. Really glad I passed on these.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

They look awesome, but something is a miss.

[@Mïnd_8endîng]

These are out pretty quick:/ I had so much ‘artwork’ it filled up 2 of my recycling bins;)~ (Goodbye to (crappy) figs being boxed)

I need more facts on this factory.. I stopped getting Transformers for 2 years now because of the plastics they were using.. The pandemic plastic

[@Apunkwithtoys]

I know only rumors that I’ve heard

[@palpatine1975]

This is what happens when you rush to put out 100 figures a year

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Possibly, these were already made (buck), that just needed to make new assessors 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@johnlatella674]

No excuse

[@MrDEMarq]

They could make flip open boxes 📦

[@Apunkwithtoys]

That would cost more money, but I think would look good.

[@MrDEMarq]

@@Apunkwithtoys True, the went up on Transformers when they did boxes like that.

[@happiaxxident]

got mine today. useless backpack. holds nothing the figure comes with. No place to store the pistol’s suppressor or chainsaw. No joint issues tho. Looks cool but accessory functionality is a miss.

[@Stiffkittens01]

What you have to remember is the more timez you use the same mold, the worse & more likely problems will arise, which is why Crimson BAT turned out so crap So you could argue that this wasn't QC but a fix as they didn't use the same body mold & gave us a new one so we didn't get a loose figure - but the trade off were tge shoulders

[@Apunkwithtoys]

I’m not sure I’m following you. I understand using the molds over and over can cause issues, but both the Crimson and Arctic BAT are super loose and use and different size ball joint for the heads.

[@Stiffkittens01]

@@Apunkwithtoys My arctic bat isn't loose at all, in fact the opposite. My point is they restarted with the arctic after seeing what a fustercluck the crimson was. Just a random thought

[@happiaxxident]

Does the package advertise that accessories are interchangeable between all B.A.T.s? If not, that’s not part of the design. That’s not quality control. I feel ya. Makes sense. Could be an expected/desired behavior. But it’s not designed for it, so not not a marketed feature.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

No it doesn’t, but the backpack is the same and it doesn’t plug in and stay. It just adds to the amount of issues we’ve been having.

[@happiaxxident]

@@Apunkwithtoys Ahhh, I see your point.

[@mis1476]

Hopefully you didn't overpay for those that really suck hasbro crappy ass QC issues
