[@williamstone1536]

Awesome review! Thanks too for checking the head swap compatibility! That was the only reason I was going to buy this, and now that I they can't swap easily, money saved, lol.

[@grrrraffe]

Crazy baroness face rules! She's going to look effing great blasting Joes from the back of the HISS.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Love it

[@paulfisher9990]

Thank you for attempting the head swap with the Cobra Island Baroness - I was curious about that

[@Apunkwithtoys]

This drives me nuts, I believe all heads should have a universal dumbbell size.

[@andrewtaylor940]

Ah yes! That moment the e-mail pops up saying "Your Order Has Left The Building"

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Yep, and as of lately they come quick

[@Astro319]

I prefer the regular/original Baroness & Tomax/Xamot figure color schemes... but that Extensive Enterprises packaging is 🔥🔥🔥!

[@Apunkwithtoys]

I also like the classic colors more, but I like having different versions of each figure.

[@brucelaborin2124]

Thanks for the review! Nice set, overall. I think the standout feature besides the extra, customizable heads for Baroness, is definately the chromed red paint app on her chest armor. I really dig that little bit EXTRA. It makes her stand out, being that she's the center piece.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Yeah that looks nice

[@raypaz2947]

Mine are on the way. Can’t wait to get them in hand. Hoping my Chuckles comes quickly too.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

They’re both pretty good

[@Allison_Troy]

These look really good. Great review, sir.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Thank you Miss Allison

[@funken079]

Nice figures and packaging.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

They really did a nice job with it.

[@DownSouth7Seven]

Nice review! Mine are supposed to be here tomorrow. Next time you talk to Lenny pitch him on the idea of Crimson Roman!

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Haha I’d love it, but Roman is a good dog, maybe a Night Force Roman 💪🏼

[@billierenfro705]

This set looks great…..I love the Crimson on everything though

[@Apunkwithtoys]

I liked it way more than I thought I would.

[@billierenfro705]

@@Apunkwithtoys the packaging/case alone helps out a whole lot, imo

[@SuperTiso]

I don't understand why Hasbro doesn't have a universal peg system for their heads and necks. You would think at the very least, sure, maybe different ones for Marvel Legends and GI Joe, but even the figures in the same line are different. So weird.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

I have heard that going into 2024 that all the Joe figures will, but I’m with you on why it just hasn’t always been this way 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@mamunestor]

I need the OG baroness shoulder pads on the crimson one.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

KJ said the same thing

[@mamunestor]

Punk! You just had them shipped… 😂 finally mine shipped today. 😂 the packaging looks awesome.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Packaging is amazing

[@vilebasterd5729]

Holding off on these for now. At that price point it will be available for a while.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Possibly, but I don’t see a second run of these getting made.

[@vilebasterd5729]

@@Apunkwithtoys Not overtly worried about missing out on this but ya I agree.

[@Newfie4024]

Nice mine just came in. Great review!

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Thank you

[@BardePhilippe.P76]

😊A awesome 3 pack set, I have the baroness cobra coil, I passed on the originals twins but couldn't resist on this today's haul package. Hmm i got it for 78$ cad, black baroness custom into Bayonnetta?

[@TheWickedOne5150]

Mine are out for delivery today. Who knows may show up during the video again.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

That would be awesome 😂

[@TheWickedOne5150]

They did. That is funny.

[@alphaprimus9813]

Magnifiques !

[@Apunkwithtoys]

[@Sabir_DelNorte]

I did this with my Courtney figure and the whole damn pin comes out from the neck and it is so odd that she is the only one I’ve seen made that way, you can insert the pin back into the neck with heating I believe but it’s really kind boggling that cover girl has an even more inconsistent pin for her head than any of the others I’ve taken the in box head off to swap out. Really strange the way hasbro builds it’s classified line and all the variation between the head pins along the same figure in multiple incarnations You can’t even swap out Lady Jaye with Scarlett just for kicks because even their pins aren’t consistent

[@Apunkwithtoys]

I’m with you, I don’t understand the difference in the head dumbbell size 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@dsanchez9703]

Bro, them Mp5s are cool

[@Apunkwithtoys]

They look better on the baroness I found out.

[@loganholmberg2295]

Damn I almost want this just for the better arms on the baroness ...but not at that price, lol

[@Apunkwithtoys]

It’s expensive, I think it should cost less too.

[@subozor]

i like it ... i got it ... thanks PUNK !

[@Apunkwithtoys]

You’re welcome

[@ucitymetalhead]

I think I'd buy the baroness and her accessories separately cause I don't need the twins.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Yeah but that is what makes it a good exclusive, something that you don’t NEED for your collection but it’s there if you want it.

[@ucitymetalhead]

@@Apunkwithtoys i guess but I don't want more of the twins.

[@90lancaster]

I'm not remotely bothered by them making Cobra stuff in red, heck they can make anything they like (within reason) in Black, Red or Blue and I'd be happy. (not literally everything) but it doesn't bother me. As for why Crimson BATS have to be Crimson or how they differ from the normal ones "No clue". I'm not sure Hasbro's even bothered to say so far as I know, One would presuppose that the Python BATS have sensor dampening properties though. I would perhaps guess that the Crimson BATS are smarter than most, I suppose one could get some idea from the earlier release figures if they'd ever done one, I know people were doing that for Shadow Tracker for example. I hope they don't waste everyone's time with this packaging insanity to often as it's really self indulgent and adds needless cost to the products. But like everyone says If I buy this it will be entirely for the Baroness, if it was just the Twins in the set then that would sit and rot until a sale. So yeah she really is a $90 Dollar Baroness.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Oddly enough I do like the set more than I thought I would, but it’s still over priced by at least $15.

[@jrshelby]

I think retro BAT on the way

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Not really sure how much more retro they can do after the first BAT

[@DazzlingV3]

Good video. One nitpick would be that this was not an unbiased review. An unbiased review is one where the reviewer goes in cold (without watching other people's reviews). I watch a lot of review videos. In a lot of the reviews, the video creator says that "others have found" or "I heard others say". When this happens, then all of the reviews start to take on a hive mind mentality sound. As an audience member, I would rather hear your un-influenced view of the figures.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

I see what you are saying but I have to disagree with you. I will check out a a couple reviews if it’s been awhile while waiting, but it does not influence my opinion of the figure, it may just let me know there is something I need to look for. If I were being sent free product or was trying to get into the influencer program, than yes that might be biased. But if a reviewer is test driving a new Ram Truck, he’s probably watched other reviews and checked to see if there’s anything he should be looking for. That wouldn’t make his review biased, just educated him on the product as he goes through it. Either way, thank you, I don’t take what you said as being mean, just a difference of opinions 💪🏼

[@paisano777]

The biting lip head would be great but the paint on the lips and teeth is sloppy

[@Apunkwithtoys]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[@doboyx2]

Hate how Hasbro continues to not put a metallic silver on the twins and instead uses that flat gray. The vintage versions of them even had metallic paint and it looks so much better.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Are you talking about vac metal? If so there’s a reason that isn’t used much anymore. It doesn’t adhere to the plastics that are used now when making toys.

[@doboyx2]

@@Apunkwithtoys No not that extra shiny stuff you see on like a WWE figures title belt. Just a nice silver metallic finish, no different then the vintage twins figures from the 80s.

[@andrewtaylor940]

I'm not sure them having the names on the stands would help me. I can never remember which one is Tomax and which is Xamot?

[@doboyx2]

X = Scarred face. Thats how I learned to distinguish them apart.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Tomax is the pretty boy and Xamot has the scar.

[@thomasvanger5644]

Not worth it.

[@andrewtaylor940]

Gah! 3 comments on 3 different devices as I listen to this while traveling about. Female figures don't always need butterfly joints. And when they have them they often don't do much. Because most female figures have a narrower torso, you don't need as steep an angle on the shoulders and arms in order for the hands to meet. Female torso's are narrower than male figures. But the arms are about the same length. Even the Valaverse female figures with their slightly broader torso's and bulky vests can get away without butterflys. The only thing they really can't do is to cross their arms across their chests and touch the opposing shoulder. WHich honestly only some of the top end male bodied import figs like SH Figuarts or SentiNel can do. And they typically need a pop out or expansion shoulder above and beyond the butterfly. Which normally looks awful from the rear.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

I do believe I’ve mentioned more than a few times that butterfly joints don’t matter if they don’t serve their purpose and for most of the Joe’s, they don’t do anything.

[@paisano777]

Bees battleground biting lip/teeth paint is better than yours, and mine is worse 😩
