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 Xamot'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.
Xamot 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!!!

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. I love the twin kris knives. These are the Twins I've been waiting for.
And as Izzy said in the Tomax poll. "Should have been a 2pack"

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 them both a 10. I started to only give them a nine, but I felt that wouldn't be all that fair. The figures are as near perfect as they could ever be. The only things they're missing is, not coming in a two pack and not having the rope slide thingy like the originals did.
But I assume they'll eventually do a Retro version that copies the ARAH box and has their pistols and the rope. They gotta know that'll be a huge hit. |

Gave him a 9 just like his brother. I like the more serious expression on Xamot's face and you'd probably be more serious than your twin brother if you had a scar too!
Same issue with the gun as his brother and the silver paint. The zip line would have been a fun accessory, but think the wave budget went to how unique their sculpt had to be. Can't really resuse any of their body or leg parts, which I'm sure cut into the budget for this wave. |

He gets 1 extra point than his brother for having a name that starts with an X. He's no Francis X. Hummel, but ... actually, do circus performers still dress this way? Is it even PC to have them be circus performers or are they uppity carnies? That would add a touch of trash to their "not silver" accents. Now I'm imagining these two selling elephant ears at the Cobrafest and wishing I'd have given them an extra point. Tickets!
