[@SalCollects]

It's funny cause G.I.Joe collectors are hating on this figure for the reuse, but as you said that's what we did back then to create our own characters. I dig how this new character looks. I'm excited to see what his "normal" colors would look like because this is his night force version.

[@BaldyLockz]

I think normal colors with an unmasked head would be amazing

[@90lancaster]

If they really wanted people to mix and match they'd not be using different neck and torso joints. I think people got into the habit with classified as they were offended by some boots (or so it seems). I'm happy with the odd head swap or juggling weapons though.

[@keithmaxwell23]

I can't wait for mine to arrive.

[@BaldyLockz]

You’ll have fun with this one for sure

[@90lancaster]

It is very easy to undo the jute ties and they won't get in your cat's paws so I think I prefer those for what was supposed to be plastic free packaging it's better optics too.

[@BaldyLockz]

I agree with that. And the paper ties can be reused as to scale rope

[@falcon048]

In regards to your conspiracy theory, I think this character was always meant to come out, but might have gotten someone else's accessories. They took the accessories from the least purchased figure. Just like they did with Kamakura. They gave him ALL the weapons from the Movie figures (practically.) As well as Snake Eyes stuff. I think they wanted to get the most out of the mold. I think we WILL get Nightforce Falcon...and I THINK they'll re-sculpt the head.

[@gregarcher8177]

That's what I'm thinking/hoping for

[@BaldyLockz]

I hope they re-sculpt that head and give us 2 so we can fix V1

[@MikeH7186]

What's the individual cases you keep the figures in around 2:23? Been looking for something like that. The figure is.. interesting. I already have Shooter on order, trying to secure Big Ben, I'll probably throw one of my Walmart coupons that I got for them canceling other pre-orders at this. I don't know how I feel about the yellow paint on a dude who's supposed to be stealth. Sorta like painting highly reflective material on your chest.

[@BaldyLockz]

Oh he's a fun character. I don't worry about real world scenarios with the characters too much, but I can see why it bothers some. Yellow is definitely bad for Night Ops but his is more likely to tie in with the Dragonfly color scheme. For the cases, check my video below, they are from Michaels and all the links are in the description. Lmk if this storage method works out for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmGumYN7jdhmiq8si=JFJLwuZOPmLlKUsi

[@wayigotitfigured9800]

Dusty's boots and pants are Stalker's boots and pants in case you hadn't clocked that.

[@BaldyLockz]

Yes I caught that before but completely overlooked it here. Great call and good eye

[@LandofMert76]

At least they could make the bio work online! I can't wait for the pieces of the guys come out so I can remake my Frankensteins.

[@BaldyLockz]

Same

[@MayumiC-chan9377]

i know my husband wants Wolf Spider i ordered it from overseas and i can’t wait to give it to him.

[@chrishigh1581]

I’ll definitely pick him up! I’m all in on brand new characters.

[@BaldyLockz]

Me too. It’ll keep the brand alive

[@damianwhite3858]

Got mine today, Liverpool UK, great figure and also as mentioned, always used to mash up figures when I was a kid 😂

[@timvanboening9432]

I think I am going to pick him up. I may paint the yellow pouches, though I am getting the Dragonfly, I don’t care about him matching it. We’ll see once I get him in-hand…whenever that is.

[@BaldyLockz]

It’ll probably be sooner than later but yes he’ll be a great pair with the Dragonfly

[@timvanboening9432]

@@BaldyLockz mine should be here in two or three weeks. I missed Gary in Taiwan’s stock.

[@af22raptor23503]

Very Cool Character and I will get it when it becomes available and with that helmet he might be my Dragonfly co-pilot!

[@jessicaburdett2589]

I think your theory makes sense. I am still super excited for Wolf Spider and really hope I can get him! Thanks for the review!

[@BaldyLockz]

Thanks for watching it. VARMA is a fun addition to the collection. You’ll like him in hand

[@whozyourdaddy]

I don't know about the theory with the head. Seems like there wasn't enough turn around time to get the Kamakura head molded and painted, added to the figure, and then to redesign the entire package for this Wolf Spider figure. Nor do I think Hasbro cares enough about fan's reactions to the Falcon head to change any figure mid production. From what I've seen, it takes around two years to produce a figure from concept to completion. I just don't think there was enough time to make last minute changes. I'm guessing there's something special about this figure or character. For a line that's pretty much ARAH in 6" scale, this figure is really out of left field. I'll be interested to hear the story about it. Either way, I like the figure and I'm happy to see some original designs, especially when they're this good. Thanks for the review!

[@BaldyLockz]

I’m with you and I definitely want to learn more about Wolf Spider. I was in a lucky position to get one early but it does feel like I watched the end of the movie before I got to even see a trailer.

[@wilfredodiaz8743]

If he isn't too difficult to purchase him I'll get it but it's not a must own since I never heard of him. So I won't stress out if I can't add him to my collection. Cool review as always 👍

[@BaldyLockz]

I wouldn't say he's a must own but I do like how this mash up turned out.

[@lenscrivanich1885]

You maybe right Baldylockz, but was Lt. Falcon ever a part of night force in Hasbro's toy history? As a 3.75" or 4" figure?? Great video keep it coming. 🎯

[@BaldyLockz]

Yes, he was in a TRU 2 pack in 1988 with Sneak Peak

[@campbellrule5728]

Great review mate I’m going to be making an ARAH Wolf Spider very soon

[@TheWinterCollector]

Definitely, going to pick this up. Very cool looking, in my opinion. 👍

[@BaldyLockz]

He's a fun addition for sure

[@cmoney7363]

Great Video 📹 👍🏼 👏🏼 👌🏼

[@BaldyLockz]

Hey thanks so much

[@kevinyoung9557]

Nice score.I believe one or two are on eBay now.Nice looking piece.

[@BaldyLockz]

I’ve been lucky with finding deals and I actually grabbed one of my Range Vipers on eBay for $37 shipped. The deals are out there

[@kevinyoung9557]

@BaldyLockz Always, you just gotta look.

[@willmckean7070]

Fantastic review. I just subscribed, you keep things positive and fun thanks for that. I'm always in for a cool masked figure, definitely going get this guy when I can. Keep up the good content.

[@BaldyLockz]

Thanks for the sub! I have to work on my timeliness with replies and posting but I’m trying. I appreciate you saying that

[@davidr8389]

Great review. He looks awesome.

[@BaldyLockz]

I think so too. Creative reuse to make a new character

[@herbjacobs3839]

That falcon backpack is terrible. Mine came with the antenna broken 🤣🤣

[@BaldyLockz]

Oh no. Are you sure it’s not like this one? I know it comes off on both

[@robertwantland646]

Didn't want to get into Night Force but after Big Ben and the Dragonfly looks like they got me again...plus that helmet is gorgeous. Great work as always, Baldy

[@BaldyLockz]

Thanks so much. I had a bunch of Night Force as a kid even though kid me claimed to hate repaints. Now I get why they did it and I’m more interested.

[@flaffel57]

“Never misses his target!”…… better issue him a shotgun! Lmao!!! (I’ll be picking one up!)

[@BaldyLockz]

Maybe, just maybe Parth is a House of Pain fan: 🎶 Cause I got lyrics, but you ain't got none If ya come to battle, bring a shotgun 🎶

[@aaronscott5882]

A first-rate review of Wolf Spider and his awesome accessories! Yes, I need one for my collection! 🐺🕷️

[@BaldyLockz]

Thanks so much!

[@aaronscott5882]

@@BaldyLockz Awesome work! 👍

[@curseoffenrir]

I don’t like the yellow, maybe I’ll finally break out the paints. Everything else looks great, though I would have like a head sculpt. Reuse is great when done well.

[@BaldyLockz]

I agree. I always think that certain characters like Snake Eyes and helmeted bad guys do not need to be unmasked but some of the good guys would benefit having an unmasked head sculpt like Kamakura

[@curseoffenrir]

Kamakura is a great example, I think I bought 4 just for that unmasked head, so I could make unhelmeted Crimson Guards.

[@AToyKindaMood]

How does it feel to be #3, NEIGHBOR? 😂😂🙌 ur the man THO!!!

@@BaldyLockz Yup! Gotta pay the EvilBay to be first LOL.. also hilariously using the BOBBY reference 😂

[@jigsawnora3207]

Agreed! This is very creative of them and I think he looks pretty good for a small team builder✨✨✨✨ I will like to get this one once released ✨✨✨✨

[@BaldyLockz]

It’s another fun one

[@robculp323]

I think your falcon theory is sound

[@BaldyLockz]

Thank you. They had to replace that mug haha

[@fahaduddin6659]

What are those box u use to store your joes?

[@BaldyLockz]

I got them at Michael’s. Here’s the video I did on them and the links are in the description. Keep me posted if you pick them up and they work out for you or not kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmGumYN7jdhmiq8si=FI5-jM0mjQ80zdNw

[@fahaduddin6659]

I am from Bangladesh bro. Did find something similar In a Chinese website will order them later. I might use these for my lose figs , gunpla and custom afs . Thank you so much xd

[@BaldyLockz]

Did you find anything? I’m sure there’s many other options out there.

[@gregarcher8177]

It could mean we are getting falcon down the road. I had high hopes for NF but imo they're screwing it up by not giving us the og nf figures.

[@BaldyLockz]

I could see that but I kind of like they are switching it up.

[@thousandwolves952]

Airbornes helmet ????

[@BaldyLockz]

Wow good call. Maybe?

[@zartanicus]

no need to dump falcon, just do a new head and fix body gear.

[@BaldyLockz]

I agree. True fan service would be to give a Night Force Falcon with a corrected sculpt and an alternate corrected head for V1

[@zartanicus]

@@BaldyLockz wish they gave multiple faces more often. for falcon we could've used this one for a drug addict version and include a good looking version. Cover girls not ugly but really need 3 heads. you know Hasbro's habits, they redo the same character multiple times even in the same version. its the reason i couldn't make profit on my old POTF star wars figures. Right now I'm angry waiting for a hooded CC and for Hasbro to cut ties with the movie director. never any controversy when they did him in 25th anniversary.

[@BaldyLockz]

Yeah but we all know Hasbro can do it. Look at the new Black Widow with the extras and 3 heads. I’d like to think the Joe team can pull it off better than the Legends team haha I made my own Hooded Commander and that may be our only option for a while

[@Stygian360]

Looks like all the usual suspects went to Asia sellers and paid a mark up to get this figure. Good on you

[@BaldyLockz]

It’s actually not that bad but some of us also use France or Spain. $36.75 shipped is above US retail but includes shipping. I’m happy I’ve made friends with some international retailers and collectors to trade with. It lets me share it here.

[@mamunestor]

Not gonna get this one. He’s analogous to beachhead v3 imo.

[@BaldyLockz]

That’s an excellent eye. I didn’t think of that great call

[@blackadder06-eb5qh]

I don’t know about this figure. He kinda looks like he belongs with Cobra and yet he is a joe. I may pass on this guy just for that.

[@BaldyLockz]

I can see that. I wish they gave us an alt head with no mask to give him personality. Maybe on the non Night Force version they will offer us that.
