Released in July 2022 as part of Wave 8, the Classified version of Spirit is widely regarded as one of the line's crowning achievements so far. A fantastic blend of the original figure's design, but mixed with modern touches throughout. His iconic eagle pet Freedom is also an amazing figure on its own.
Spirit Iron-Knife comes packed with the following gear and accessories: a sniper rifle with removable magazine clip, a hunting knife, a pistol, a dagger, a backpack with bird perch and a pet American Eagle (Freedom) who comes with (2) sets of different articulated wings (one set at ease, the other set spread out in the air). 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!!!

Spirit and Freedom are an easy 10, they totally nailed it. Classic look with just the right updating.

I like that the team attempted to make an updated version of Spirit that was close to his traditional appearance, but I don't really understand the love for this figure.
This isn't one of my top 10 characters, but the figure is just meh to me. I never understood why everyone was so over the top about it (and why the critics seemed focused on one little detail). I've never opened a Spirit and doubt I will any time soon.

I give him a 9. Excellent figure, but lack of paint on one of the knives and no articulation in Freedom's beak equals minus one point, in my opinion. Everything else about him is great. Good paintwork on the body, two sets of wings for Freedom, lots of accessories... even the package artwork, while not my favoured style, is still perfect for the character.

Solid 10. You know it's Spirit. It hits all the notes of the OG ARAH, while providing sensible modernization. The articulated Spirit just cranked it up to 11.

Gave him a 10. I love everything about this figure. I ended up giving mine some fur on his boots, a necklace and the breechcloth just because I wanted him to look a little closer to his ARAH design - but even straight out of the package he was still a 10 for me.

I've been saying I only give 10 to figures if they're flawless plus my favorites, Spirit is both for me

8. Took points for the box art and the expression.

I don't even feel like I need to justify my vote this time. Easily a 10!

11 out of 10 for me
Spirit was never a favorite of mine as a kid... but this version of him is SO awesome that I retroactively went back and started liking old Spirit again. Even replacing my old faded one. anyway, Classified Spirit is, I think, the best figure of the line. I like the cool box art too. |
