I am giving him a 10…. But only cuz he is my favorite character from the RAH days. The figure is great - the accessories are…. Eh. Same complaints as everyone else. To add the backpack was also a little disappointing. I really liked Wolf Spiders helmet idea. That is a great helmet (great figure too with Eh accessories). I don’t want to hide him in the dragonfly - but that is looking more likely.

This line is getting to the point where it's really hard NOT to give things a 10. It's unreal how consistently great things have been.

Classified is making a real mark in modern toy line history, and I would say even all-time toy line history now.

The biggest drawback is still the gummy weapons. I don't know why Hasbro doesn't just raise the minimum age, so they can have harder plastics. Mattel's Masterverse line is 6+ and their weapons are nice and sturdy. Does Hasbro really think that 4 and 5 year olds are playing with these things?

A holster with the slot for a silencer but no silencer included takes the figure from an 8 to a 6 for me. No reason for that when they have holsters for pistols without silencers at their disposal.

Silencer is on the end of the rifle and interchangable from gun to rifle.

Giving him a 6 for the gummy, ill-chosen weapons, having the wrong lower legs and just generally being "modern" instead of more faithful to the original design.

8/10
Same as Big Boa for me. Great figure but some of the accessories are a miss. Fairly easy to make him "perfect" though. At least for my tastes. Last edited by DFender; 03-29-2024 at 02:42 PM.. |

Damn. You knocked him down two points because you didn't see the suppresser at the end of the rifle? Oof!

9 for me. Really like him but the helmet doesn't sit well on mine, kind of loose, and I tried the reverse goggles underneath like Dusty and that appears to be a no go. Also would have liked the original rifle, but this one is growing on me, and being an Airborne trooper, a smaller weapon to handle while dropping does make sense.
