Impressions of the new exclusive Elite Praetorian Figure!

[@hgc7000]

Me: "Ah, I don't really want to watch at 20 plus minute video on this figure." Me 20 plus minutes later: "Wow, that's a great and in depth breakdown of the Praetorian, I'm stoked to get one!" Great review!!!

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

@@hgc7000 thanks hgc lol. Yes I never intend to go so long, but it seems like I'll average 18 mins/video. I always watch figure vids and always have questions..so I try to cover all the stuff that I'd have questions about. I didn't show what the figure looked like with a regular vala head on it...but I die take some pics and posted on my channel community page. I always recommend keeping an eye on my posts as that's the fastest way I get stuff to subscribers! I really appreciate your comment and watching the entire video..thank you thank you thank you

[@hgc7000]

@@junkioncraftsandbuilds Understood, no problem about the video length either,. I'm the one that is always pressed for time.

Great review.

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

Thank you so much man!

[@citadelli]

That transparent green looks cool. I hope I can snag one after convention season. 😊

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

I feel they'll be available shortly after Series 5 releases..which may be as early as Oct. Remember he still has one more exclusive for RICC and the mail in figure/variant.

[@sherwoodcrump3716]

Very thorough and comprehensive review. Thanks,

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

Thank you for watching and the feedback. Greatly appreciated.

[@AFAFsamedwards]

Great review brother. Good move by RoleKeeper. That’s dope. I went to the Mondegreen Phish festival in DE this past weekend. Had a blast. I hope Bobby releases these like the V2 bone collector. 🤞Thanks for sharing and have a good day sir.

[@robertsinfiniterealms1308]

This is one of those exclusives I’d like to have but isn’t 100% necessary. It’s cool though. Nice video.

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

@@robertsinfiniterealms1308 thank you!

[@thetitan914]

Love the look on these guys, hopefully I'll be able to get at least one at some point. Excellent review

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

Thanks man. Yeah it's a cool design and something very new in the Action Force line...I think the black/red release will be really cool..I just hope the tolerances for the blade are improved and the foot articulation issue I have with the right foot doesn't plague the regular release this fall.

[@RoleKeeper]

Thanks for the shout out man, aiways willing to help a fellow collector out, I hadent noticed the foot till you pointed it out. I;m happy with the figures.

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

Dude, I'm so happy and grateful for you picking these up...and overcoming physical pain and everything that weekend! Hope you recovered and such. Can't wait to hear your opinion on a certain vehicle I see that you have.

[@RoleKeeper]

@@junkioncraftsandbuilds Oh that little thing, LOL. The Vanguard is every thing I wanted it to be. Am I disapointed that the twin 50 cant traverse, yeah but I dont plan on using the turrets anyway. I wanted and got Two Armored Limousines now I can build my 1/12 scale Presidental Motorcade.

[@KensToys74]

Great job reviewing the figure. The sculpt work on this is amazing. I wasn't expecting that much detail. The sculptor needs some high praise for their work. I really want a couple of these now. Thanks again for such an in-depth review.

[@shawnj547]

Nice looking figure 👍👍👍👍☕

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

Thanks a ton! I'm really happy you think so!

[@UnboxingArt]

Very cool, wish I could of attended to grab 1. I'm a sucker for green lol

[@gtoney]

Nice figure,, love the accessories. Great Review ✨️😀🪚⚒️

[@SciFiGeorge]

This is a great figure! I love the increased flexibility of the hands, as well as how fluidly everything moves as opposed to how stiff or even stuck in place previous figures were. The sculpt is well done. I really like magazine holster on the hip. His abdomen crunch and twist is fantastic.

[@mcloutierg8201]

Thanks for a fair look at the new figure and the warnings. It's a good choice for a convention exclusive as the color choices will not appeal to everyone. The melee parts are going straight into a bag for me, but I guess it is good to have options. We just need a yellow version now to get the full traffic light brigade. Also for some reason I am really craving green apple flavor Jolly Rancher candy now.

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

LOL thank you as always for the comment man. I have to agree, Vala does smart exclusives and they generate interest...I still recall the huge demand for Warpath Eclipse after Joefest last year...and I imagine she still gets purchase traffic today! Yes, I can see Bobby having the chance to compete with MakeToys and making the Skittles versions of this figure LOL...all the variety without the cavities.

[@nickdunlop07]

Awesome looking figure. Thanks for the review 👍

[@podcastfromthepit3132]

Great review

[@ItsJGonzo]

Definitely will be using mine as officers and the black ones as troop builders. Awesome review Sir!🫡🤙🏽

[@AllBreaksLoose]

I don't collect action force, but I really like this figure and how it looks. I think a chaingun would be a great add on! As for the QC issues you didn't cry about it and leave it at that. You pointed it out and then gave everyone a solution to fix the issue. As for ankles...ugh. I have many issues with ankles on action figures....lol. Great review!

[@robertsinfiniterealms1308]

I’ve not got the foot problem. But the left shoulder butterfly joint is super loose. I just assumed it was the translucent plastic. Hopefully the regular release is better.

[@tim_tazer]

great review. I have opened 5 of these and didnt have any ankle issues. Also you mentioned the range in the knee joint, i fell that it is the same or slightly better than a human figure. One thing you didnt point out is the feet. The front of the top of the foot near the ankle has a molded piece of plastic that really limits the travel of the joint. I snipped it off and it greatly improves articulation.

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

Hey Tim. Thanks for the comments and the additional feedback. I'm happy to hear that your ankle on the right leg isn't having the issues I have..again far from a showstopper. Of the five that you have, did you feel the shoulder joint was super tight? I didn't mention the piece at the foot/ankle, but looking at it at this moment, I can see why you trimmed it for improved articulation! Great pro tip!! Overall I'm happy for these figures and can't wait for the regular release. How many did you preorder?

[@dzsquad1965]

Man out of the package he looks really really nice, I'm going to open my couple up and how did u like the black one ,and what do you think of the new bone collector

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

I can't wait for Series 5 and the Regular Praetorian...I have a few on order. As for Bone Collector 2.0...I don't mind his look, I wish he came with a stoic face like the first and SDS releases...I put a side arm on him as well. I never got a bloody variant so I'll take one of mine and mess him up LOL

[@traviswilcox3472]

This figure looks like it tastes like Green Apple Jolly Rancher .. “GULP”. Nope it just tastes like Chinese, factory plastic flavor. 😅

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

It is pretty "Sweet."

[@CHUCK235]

Five series in you still have to heat these up to work. Defects in the feet right out of the package remind me of eclipse and Pandora foot problem where they were popping off even after they were heated up. Thanks for the review, heads up easy pass on this.

[@junkioncraftsandbuilds]

Knowing you, they were a pass from the jump..but here's your 5 seconds of attention, enjoy.
