Released in October 2023 as the SDCC exclusive (pre-orders went up in July), Chuckles makes his debut in the Classified line in a set that can only be described as plain "fun". A lot of fun. Chuckles ties into the release of the Pulse Con exclusive Crimson Strike Team set and tells a neat little story of how he goes undercover to get secret plans on a new Crimson B.A.T. being orchestrated by the Baroness and the Crimson Twins. Chuckles features an all-new upper body paired up with re-used legs borrowed from the Duke buck, though he does feature all-new boots and knees, so he really feels like an all-new figure. The packaging, box and even tissue paper Chuckles comes in is unique and adds to the fun of this figure. Team Classified really went all out with this figure and gave him a ton of stuff, which really gives you lots of various display options.
Chuckles comes with the following gear and accessories: a briefcase (which can be opened and can store stuff), an alternate head (with bruised face), a pistol, a top secret folder, a removable shoulder holster, a pair of alternate hands (each wearing brass knuckles), a lei of flowers, a knife, (2) sets of handcuffs (one broken, one unbroken), a removable wristwatch, a pair of sunglasses, a pair of binoculars, a pair of removable headphones, and a cassette tape recorder/player (an easter egg which looks like the Transformers' Decepticon Shockwave or Soundblaster). **NOTE** Whether it was intentional or an accidental mistake, Chuckles' Role/Gear/Skill/Mastery attributes are not present anywhere on the packaging. Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

Can't decide if I want to give him an 8 or a 9, but leaning towards a 9.

Nobody likes Chuckles I guess! lol But seriously, he's a great figure and I think slightly underrated.

I like Chuckles! lol. I gave him an 8. I like his head sculpt a lot more in person than the renders. If I was into toy photography I'd probably like his accessories a lot more, but think they are just okay. I'm not sure if the accessories he comes with really justify the price tag he has. Definitely feels more of a con tax the more I think about it. I wish he had come with a smiling head sculpt that wasn't beat up, like on the box art. Do really like the brass knuckles he comes with though, that's a great addition. I do have to point out that the headphones while a fun idea, are just executed poorly as it's hard to keep them on his head. It's a good update of the original figure and am glad to have him.

Nonetheless, a very good figure like you said though! Pertaining to his packaging, I mentioned this in another thread, but Chuckles is missing his skills/specialties on his box which I think was an oversight. Maybe if he gets a standard release at some point?

Man, I just really like this figure! Probably the most fun Classified figure I've come across yet. I have no complaints regarding the accessories, sculpt, paint... no QC issues. I give him a 10

Tough to get perfect sculpting because of the mainstream toy aspect, otherwise a 9.

I love this little joke for his file bio on Pulse:
"So the trick is, can he nab the case and 23 skidoo without blowing his cover or will the Crimson Strike Team bring down a world of hurt on him? Either way at least he got lei'd." LOL! Love the adult humor!

Decent figure. Solid 6 or 7.
Accessories aren't great. The extra head was unneeded. In general this is one of the few classified figures where I felt like I didn't get what I paid for. |

Here's a mock-up I did for Chuckles in regular packaging.
I was thinking of using the mockups I did for the ranked list just for uniformity's sake, but then decided not to since some (maybe most?) 'Tankers probably want the actual product pic for those thumbnails. (**NOTE** I still need to replace Big Ben's name with Chuckles' name on the mock-up) thumbnail
