"I don't know why they would need a ninja." Well... the forthcoming Jinx figure will eventually get a Tiger Force repaint based on her 2003 figure, so this version of Vypra sets her up as a direct advisory on opposing sub-teams.
Great job Lawrence. I just got this figure mostly to complete my python patrol. I like her, she is kinda meh. Thanks for taking the time to review her. I enjoyed it.
Luckily for me I didn’t have that issue with Zarana and these didn’t feel like they were gonna come loose either. But there is a lot of restrictions with those arms when it comes to articulation.
My Vypras are on the way to my house. Despite the reuse parts it looks good to me. I love ninjas and the Ninja Force has a soft spot in my heart. No negativity here.
It's actually a great ninja figure. You get better articulation with the newer female elbow joint. As well as the skull mask being awesome. And you can never have too few ninjas...
Honestly she looks better without the mask. I was sort of on the fence about buying her but I'll pick one up on clearance. She would look great with my female blue ninja as Arashikage sisters.
I'm not even bothering with this fig. The blue ones where almost impossible to get in Canada when they came out. ASnd I'm just not a huge gi joe ninja fan to want to hunt for ninja figures past snake eyes and storm shadow. And the only reason I got 2 snake eyes is I want the wolk in both decos. If hasbro is doing one thing right for sure in classified is the animals.....they can get the anilas right but the weapons continue to be fails....don't get me started on Snow Jobs rifle. It permanently sitting in his back pack and he will only ever be displayed riding this great 1/12 scale snow mobile I found for cheap on amazon or on his skies and ski poles. The ski poles by the way arent warped or warping.....why? I don't know.
I don't understand why they would release this now, why not do Jinx first then do the repaints of Vypra with the Jinx mold and then she looks the way she's supposed to look and not like this.
Well it takes a year or so before a figure goes from concept to production. They use repaints like this to increase the budget and put out more figures. Also I’m sure Target wants so many figure in their exclusives so you create easier cheaper molds. I mean there could be a hundred reasons, it’s just how companies work.
Either way, if they do a good job on jinx and she looks like the vintage version and they do the same again for Vypra them I might pick them up. This current version no clue where it came from or if it's just a new design, it looks ok just not the version I want.
I would agree but it seems quite easy to repaint Retro Jinx into Normal Vypra or even do the rattler 4X4 at some point. I think they kinda want you to forget this a named character and army build her.
Ah yes, another figure created that nobody wanted or needed in this line, especially if you are re-using Akiko's body to create it. But I will give this one a pass as I love my ninjas but when you say "I don't know why Python Patrol needs a ninja!" that makes me wonder why do we need Crimson BATs, Crimson Alley-Vipers, Crimson Vipers, Arctic BATs, etc.. but remember this, you can always use a ninja in every environment so that should make you feel more comfortable asking that question. Now what I want is Hasbro to make the red ninjas from issue #21 "Silent Interlude" but until then I will just use the red ninjas from Articulated Icons, they fit perfectly into the Classified universe, they are just a tad bit smaller as ninjas should be plus you get every color you could want (maybe could have used some camouflaged ninjas...just saying!). Since Hasbro likes to do repaint so badly I just wish for masked figures, whether repaint or new character, just give us an additional head sculpt to actually give the figure some character instead of looking like just another troop builder which this looks like even though it is supposed to be specific character. I just play it as she is Storm Shadow's pupil who got thrown into the Python Patrol faction. Thankfully Gridiron provides some good ninja weapons to replace the bendable Hasbro garbage. I do agree that the colors on this figure are nice, the head sculpt is kind of nice and has plenty of articulation but those Akiko legs drive me crazy. Another banger video, at least you more enthusiastic reviewing this one as opposed to the Tiger Force Flint debacle.
I have her skull mask ON, but kinda flipped up like a visor, so you can still see her eyes. 😊 She is cooler than I thought she would be, honestly. Except for her piece of shit bendy-as-hell gummi candy bow, which is easily the worst quality accessory I've had the misfortune of obtaining in this line. Appalling. "4+", puh-leeeze. Ages BULLSHIT & up, if you ask me. Nice review as always 🤘🏻
I don't mind hasbro doing repaints but how about letting a figure breath for 6 months to a year before doing the next one? You got a lot of resources. Do you need to milk the shit out of a mold immediately like the smaller toy lines have too? Especially when unlike the smaller guys you seem to continue not bothering to improve your molds and materials? I'm getting real tired of these floppy weapons and random figures with arms that like to pop off. The bloody weapons get out of shape just setting in the hands of my figures on the shelf for crying out loud! Some say the valaverse weapons are too hard. I've drooped quite a few onto my lamenant floor. I broke the barrel tip off of ONE. I would not call that too brittle. Do I want something as thin as a sword in that material? Probably not. But I'll take that over my hangs to the right hasbro weapons I get in my boxes lately....at least the girlfriend gets that joke.😂😂
They certainly didn't put a Buffer wave between Tunnel Rat and Night Force Tunnel Rat ; those two are going to be sharing shelf space. Vypra's nice enough especially when they start doing the other Python Patrol colourschemes she will fit right in with those. It is a small shame they cancelled the Jungle red Ninja though to make her. I'd have loved a Jungle deco Male Ninja. Heck I hope they still make him too at some point.
@@90lancaster For ninja lovers I hope you get what you want at some point. Myself I've never ben a huge ninja lover in the gi joe toy line beyound some of the staple characters. Although I do like jinx and swift kick. I just hope when we get those characters hasbro doesn't skimp out on the accessories. Frankly I think Hasbro should keep the martial arts figures down to 1 or 2 figs a year to keep them special and unique. But maybe that just cause I desperate for them to finally do the bloody night viper. I like to viper so much I kit bashed an action for night opps steel brigade to make one. Which will finally be complete once I get my valavarse weapons pack with the tactical lever action marlin rifle. The closest I'll ever get to the scout rifle the OG night viper had.
Sorry but I did make a mistake about the mask. The mask came with the deluxe Zartan not the blue ninja 2 pack. Apologies for incorrect information.
How dare you. This is some Diaper Island nonsense
Nah, it's alright bru. Keep up the good work.
@@beesbattlegrounds 😂😂😂
Ah! Glad I looked here, I was very confused. Thanks for the correction.
@@ZZZGGGLLLAAAHHHI’m always gonna fess up when I make a mistake 💪🏼
I really like what they're doing with the Ninjas in this line. All of them have been fantastic.
I’m glad you like them. I do think the buck is really good.
"I don't know why they would need a ninja." Well... the forthcoming Jinx figure will eventually get a Tiger Force repaint based on her 2003 figure, so this version of Vypra sets her up as a direct advisory on opposing sub-teams.
Well I don’t know why we ever needed a Tiger Force Jinx either so, I stand by what I said 😂
Another reason why I love theses reviews mate. Very entertaining and very informative
Thank you, I’m glad I can be both 😊
Great review. I like her without the mask as well.
Glad I’m not the only one, thank you.
Great job Lawrence. I just got this figure mostly to complete my python patrol. I like her, she is kinda meh. Thanks for taking the time to review her. I enjoyed it.
I’m not sure who was asking for this figure, but if I remember correctly, I thought she was better that Tiger Force Flint 🤣
@Apunkwithtoys really? I think the tf flint is cool.
I wish it was 1984 again with Kirk Gibson. Love the hat
Pisses me off that everyone thinks about his home run with the Dodges and forgets he’s a Detroit Tiger.
I really look forward to getting her & Nunchuck.
I’m pretty excited for Nunchuck.
Great review I am now more excited that I ordered her👍
Somebody bought 4 flints before my Target opened today. 🤦♂️ my pickup was cancelled but went with Hasbro pulse after I canceled it this morning.
Yep all the Flints were almost sold out before 8AM.
Cool review 😊, I’m subscribed
Thank you
wonder if they fixed Zarana's arms or if these are going to come in detached as well?
Luckily for me I didn’t have that issue with Zarana and these didn’t feel like they were gonna come loose either. But there is a lot of restrictions with those arms when it comes to articulation.
My Vypras are on the way to my house. Despite the reuse parts it looks good to me. I love ninjas and the Ninja Force has a soft spot in my heart. No negativity here.
Was going to hate on this figure, but that mask accessory is perfect to fix Falcon and Flint figures. 😉
Why hate? It's a great figure.
I'm on the fence about this figure, but I do love ninjas. If I see it in-store, I'll likely pick it up.
It's actually a great ninja figure. You get better articulation with the newer female elbow joint. As well as the skull mask being awesome. And you can never have too few ninjas...
It’s better than I thought it would be, and it will be on pegs for sure.
Yeah we didn't need it lol but thanks for allowing me to live vicariously through your reviewing of it.
Thanks for watching, be sure to live vicariously through me in the Tiger Force Flint video next 😂
@@Apunkwithtoys Hahahaha standing by.
Honestly she looks better without the mask. I was sort of on the fence about buying her but I'll pick one up on clearance. She would look great with my female blue ninja as Arashikage sisters.
I’m with you, I like her more without the mask also.
Is it just my figure but my vypras left arm just pops off
I didn’t believe I had that problem, but I also haven’t really played with her much since getting it.
Not bad. Like her better than the other ninjas, so far.
To each their own, I really like the PP BAT but I’m in the minority there 🤣
The other skull mask is from Zartan master of disguise
Yes I pinned a comment to the top explaining how I made a mistake with that.
Cool charactet
She’s interesting

sorry about the spelling its really late...and I don't care to fix it for some reason. 😂😂
There is nothing wrong with repaints. Hasbro just needs to make it look good.

Why wouldn't they need a ninja? :)
Cause everyone needs a ninja 🤣
Your a shill lol 😂
Why thank you 😂
