I think it is a solid set. I gave it a 9. You get a great amount of accessories and 2 solid looking figures. However, I think I would have preferred another male figure with a gold helmet. I bought 2 sets, but I would have bought more if we would have got the gold head variant.

I agree with much that has been said about this set. A newer buck for the male trooper would have been nice. Also, I would not have objected to individual releases for the figures. Still a solid set. I was really looking forward to its release and I may have initially enjoyed it more had there not been other cool Classified releases around the same time. I give it an 8

Gets a 7, from me. The reuse of accessories and the articulation issues with both figures lose it three points. Female's arms are terrible. Male's articulation is hindered by the vest far too much. And the shoulder pads are too big... seems ridiculous to put on a soldier, as they would clearly get in the way and impede his performance.

Wonder if they couldn't because the Beach Head legs, or the mold, was being used for Shockwave at the same time this set was being produced. Kind of wish the Stalker buck had been used for this one. I'm going to throw on some spare Viper forearm gauntlets so he has the forearm armor/gloves too.

I suppose the real problem is the use of wave-one Snake Eyes' legs. That figure was shorter for some reason, even compared to the Alpha Commando version.

Yeah, not sure why those legs were more diminutive? Maybe because it was the very first Classified figure and they hadn't figured out quite yet how big they wanted them to be early on when they designed that Snake Eyes.

I gave them a 6. I'm highly disappointed in this set. There is absolutely no reason a female figure in 2023 should come with single jointed elbows. Also her hands are too small to properly fit the guns they come with. This is probably the first time I'll complain about reuse, because usually it's done so well, but in this set it comes across as very cheap and makes the figures lesser as a result. I like the jump pack, but coming with the same guns that came with the Viper 3 pack is also poor reuse, imo. It doesn't help that the blast effects for the jump packs are all warped and need to be heated up to be straightened out. Usually I'm a huge fan of trooper packs, but this one falls short of previous iterations and does not compare to the quality of the rest of the figures we've gotten this year (except the Falcon wave).

I'm probably in the minority on this, but I like this set. I don't care about re-use parts or whatever, as long as it makes for a good figure. I wouldn't troop build this unless I could get another set at a good price - but I might have bought another of either trooper separately
my ONLY gripe with this is that I would have liked a flying stand to be included. They gave us 2 fliers but no way to display them flying without buying something else (or rigging up fishing line). |

I like this set a lot too. I ended up repainting a spare Beach Head head so he can be displayed sans helmet. I might eventually repaint a spare Valkyrie head for the female trooper.
