Perfect figure, fantastic accessories. My only complaint is the price seemed a tad high.

10. Perfect figure, packaging, story of him built right in. The way Hasbro delivered a great Joe narrative, basically its own comic book, between this and the Crimson Strike Team, to tell a story that's updated and respects the old school Joe fan while updating the lore for today, makes this a perfect 10 for me.
I like the accessories, his pistol would be my only minor gripe if I really had to gripe about something but it's good overall too. |

Gave him a 9. Knocked off a point for the pinned legs and brown briefcase (should be silver like the crimson strike set imo).

7. I don't own him yet - because $42 just seems too much for him. He seems like a perfectly acceptable $25 figure - but paying $17 extra for packaging that is going to go in a tote seems dumb. I can't pull the trigger.

>>>>9/10-8/10 figure by itself.
Chuckles could be a 9/10 easy if we ignore the factors. He looks very nice, has thoughtful accessories and is pretty fun. Factors: 1. The price. (40 bucks????!!!) 2. Minor issue where issuing codes and then people started selling codes. 3. Chuckles $40 dollar regular figure more accessory Deluxe category following the Nalan Chell blue print at 38 bucks from last year 2022 https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Produ...ils/259959?o=2 https://galacticfigures.com/figureDetails.aspx?id=29296 4. Chuckles could have sold out as a Hasbro Puse exclusive and would not be easy to get, oooof. Ebay Special demerit. Chuckles in my opinion is a 9/10-8/10 standard figure with some of the most annoying factors and pricing into it. Could have become an Ebay special, also not great. I honestly should vote down MindBender and Serpentor, the more I think about it, the less I like. >>>>>6/10 Rating. Including Pricing, and the overall annoyance package. It could be a great figure, but the context of how you get it sure isn't. *****As a Side Note, I think fair context also could just be I just realized again how much I hate Con exclusives. It being easy to buy now honestly has not made me forget how much of a chore it originally was to get Chuckles.

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 |

I'm go 10 for Chuckles, he was one of the figures I was most excited for next to Mindbender. I'd like to give huge thanks to OP for generously providing the figure, that was very kind.
-tons of lore building props -fun presentation on the box -fun connection to the CST set |

I finally got him and gave him a 6. Just an average figure, in my opinion. He's one figure that really could have used a re-design. Also, I agree with others, who say the accessories don't justify the raised price and some of them are just annoying. The handcuffs don't bend, so it's hard to put them on... the headphones and sunglasses don't stay on very well... the lei is a waste of an accessory... the extra head is silly... and, while the Soundwave/Soundblaster tape deck is kind of cool, why is he using something like that in the 21st century?
I'm just glad I didn't pay extra for a code.
