Released as part of Wave 14 in December 2023, Buzzer makes up one third of the original Dreadnok trio and finally makes his Classified debut nearly 4 years after the line made its debut. Buzzer has an all-new head sculpt as well as an all-new torso and arms. His crotch sleeve is also new and has a nice skull and crossbones sculpted on it, but everything else below the waist is re-use from Destro's buck, which a lot of Classified fans have not been too keen on for obvious reasons. Like his wave mate and fellow 'Nok Ripper, Buzzer also has all-new weapons and gear that makes him feel even more unique and new. His head sculpt is really well-done and has a ton of character, featuring the former English scholar turned biker's iconic and toothy grin. One minor quibble for the head would be that it could have used a nice darker wash on his hair and pony tail to bring out the sculpt details (Chuckles had the same issue). Hasbro decided to give Buzzer a traditional chainsaw for the Classified release instead of the chainsaw rifle the 1985 figure came with. But this was also what the 25th/ME Buzzer came with, so it's not necessarily surprising. Also, just like his fellow 'Nok Ripper, Buzzer does not come with a backpack, which some fans have been fairly disappointed with. The sculpt details on Buzzer's ripped sheriff's shirt are exceptional and feature his trademark stolen sheriff's badge with dog tag trophies of his past victims. Collectors should note that Buzzer also can't stow all of his weapons and gear, which is a rarity in this line, but somewhat of a letdown.
Buzzer comes packed with the following gear and accessories: a chainsaw, a pair of removable sunglasses, a chained axe (aka as a nunchuka axe), a pistol, a knife and an axe bat (which is basically a baseball bat with two saw blades fastened to the top of the barrel of the bat). 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!!!

In spite of his sunglasses, he is a far better version of Buzzer than any 'Nok deserves. If he lacked that ponytail, he'd make a great "hero" head. I've often thought of him as a sniveling, conniving Robert Englund type of guy, but this changed my mind. He could lead the Dreadnoks with his build and smarts. 10.

9+ from me. His chainsaw blade was just slightly warped, but not badly enough to be very noticeable. I appreciate the removable glasses, even if their execution wasn't perfect. Backpack would have been nice, but he's still a great looking, well built figure that I don't regret preordering. He and Ripper have me excited to see Torch.

This figure sucks. It's a challenge to get him to dual grip his chainsaw. His chest strap should have been a separate piece instead of molded in. The glasses. The boots. He's in there with Cover Girl & Falcon for me as among "the worst" of Classified.

Pretty darn good... but then there are Destro's legs and boots. And sunglasses that don't stay on.

I gave him an 8. In some ways he does look like a great figure, but is let down by some shortcomings. The biggest issue are his goggles. They fall off if I look at them wrong. Seeing how good Rippers fit on his head and then Buzzer is such a contrast with two figures in the same wave that it is hard to fathom. Overall he looks good, but maybe could have used some more personality to him. Ripper surpasses this figure in every way. He's a solid figure that I've warmed up to, since I was never a fan of the Noks growing up. His chainsaw looks good, but also it's "just" a chainsaw, although better than his original gun/saw thing his ARAH figure came with.

I like how "this figure sucks" and "among the worst" is still worth an average rating of 50%

Personally, I rated it a 6. Not a terrible figure, for me - but not as good as I hoped. don't like how hard it is to keep the glasses on

If I could give him a 9.5 I would. He is a really nice figure, and looks great. I love the head sculpt. The goggles are just a bit of a pain though.

Gave him a 9. I deducted a point for the chainsaw and missing backpack but Gridiron took care of that. The glasses were warped out of the box but I was able to get them to stay on with a little hot water.
