Released in October 2022 as part of Wave 9, Hasbro didn't deviate all that much from the original designs for the Crimson Twins. While some fans may have preferred more modern updates to Tomax's 6" design. Overall, the Classified versions of the Crimson Twins have been met with mostly positive reviews. Credit to the Hasbro Joe team for being able to make Tomax and Xamot look like identical twins, but also slightly different at the same time (specifically their head sculpt since the rest of the figures are just inverted but identical). One thing that Classified collectors mostly agree on, is the fact that the Crimson Guard Commanders should have probably been released together in special, mirrored packaging like their original ARAH figures came in.
Tomax comes with the following gear and accessories: a machine gun with removable ammo clip and a removable sound suppressor and (2) daggers. 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!!!

5/10. Really wish they were updated but for what they are they look stellar.
Definitely needed to be a two pack. Can't count how many times I came across two Tomaxs or two Xamonts sitting on the pegs together like somebody clearly didn't realize they were twins, not the same figure, and left one behind. |

9. I LOVE the way these figures came out. The only thing I don't care for is the smooth "fabric". I think these do a better job of "Classic" Twins than the 25th figures (the silver tennis shoes killed those for me). The bucks have a better-than-average-great Classified articulation. It has deeper range once dropped in boiled water and expanded. These are the Twins I've been waiting for.
Yes they did! If they had been a 2pack I would have bought a set for MIB display.

I gave him a 9. At first I was worried about the head sculpt in renders and super close up shots, but in hand his head sculpt is perfect. I love his smirk and raised eyebrow to give him a sense of playfulness to exhibit part of his character. I like the knives he comes with and wish his gun was a bit different. I actually think the twins should have come with the red/black gun that Destro came with to better represent their original ARAH figures. The grey on their outfits does fall a little flat as well.

I give them both a 7. One point off for coming separately, one point off for lackluster accessories and design, and one point off for grey paint, instead of metallic for a shinier look.

I gave both of them a 9. I deducted a full point for the following three reasons -- the omission of their zip line accessory, the lack of metallic silver armor (I repainted mine so they are silver instead of the semi-shiny gray) and the fact they were released individually and not in special packaging like they should have been.
Fantastic figures overall!

7 for each (Curious if anyone rated these differently?)
This was a case where some updates would have been appreciated, as the OG uniforms look dated compared to much of the classified line. Didn't love the execution, but they're a serviceable release to get the twins into Classified. |

While the old school outfit was a little meh for me over something more modern, the toy is very well done, and having distinct headsculpts, including expressions, makes the toys much cooler.
