the thing on Falcon's right side harness strap is supposed to be the mic connected to the radio on his back not a pouch. A Marauders' walkie-Talkie or similar would have worked better I think. I believe the original 1980's figure fits as a 1-0 (Squad leader) or 1-2 (Radio Operator), the 1's were always americans on a special forces team from the Vietnam war, some 1-0's in SOG teams doubled as 1-2's because the radio was their primary tool and their most important piece of equipment as they used it to call in for extraction and rain fire on much superior NVA forces after them (since they operated well behind enemy lines) and they wouldn't trust the indigenous troops that comprised most of the squad with it. I liked your figure a lot, Lt. Falcon is one of my favorite joe figures and so I hated what they did to him in the cartoon movie playing him like a goon. Never read the comics so I don't know how he was there. Supposedly, Marauder's is doing a Vietnam era figures and weapons Kickstarter soon in 2020, I can't wait to see what he is going to surprise us with.
Looks good man. Falcon was my first Marauders Task Force figure I made too. I made two versions of him & am working on a third. I dig your figures bro.
Actionfigure Junky , I plan on posting my figures up on my Facebook page. Send me a private message & I'll give you my info to find me. Keep up the good work bro.
Well, I don’t replace the paint. I just add a little more here and there. To replace the forearms, simply soak them in real hot water for a few seconds. Then gently pull them out. Do the same to put back in.
Nice, that came out well. You're so right about the modern Falcons that Hasbro has done, blech. Some decent sculpts but the colors they are molded suck, the head isn't too bad though. For my Falcon, I used the head off the Retaliation Flint, I thought he looked more like Falcon anyways (young, reckless and cocky).
VideoPortfolio2010 Good question! Any decent acrylic paint you would buy at a hobby store will do for camo patches. I spray the figures with a clear coat once they’re painted. It has held up great! The paint still looks excellent. For painting an entire figure, I’d use a more expensive acrylic paint, and use several coats to make sure U don’t have brush strokes. Good luck!!
Totally new at marauders figures. Have a lot of trouble putting on head because I bought the heads separate from the body. Head doesn’t seem to click on the body. Any guidance?
I've just been seeing videos about Marauders, first encounter was with ODC channel, yesterday watching chapman channel and then yours. Although most videos i've watched were dated 2016 and this 2017, I wonder if Marauder is still up and running and if they ship overseas... I think it's way better than GI Joe in some aspect, especially if you're into Troop Building/Army builder.
Marc Sam D. They’re still going strong. They put out their WWII line a few months back and it seems to be a hit. It’s not my thing, but peeps seem to enjoy it.
crusader one Hahahaha! NEVER! I’ve done a few of my own creation. But coming up with the right recipe to replicate Joes is like having better versions of all my favorite childhood guys.
It's true as kids and as adults damn we always loose accessories! It sucks... Great video.
Thomas Caramela Totally... Thanks Tom.
The Original joe's are some of my favorites...
MotorCity Bub Absolutely, mine, too!

Johnnie Rodriguez Thanks a lot!
I didn't know you could just pop off the waist like that. Thanks for this video.
Dragonrider1227 You’re very. Welcome!!

Orange Dyna 2014 Thanks man! Much appreciated. How can I see Ur Falcons?

Orange Dyna 2014 Thanks a lot man!
Orange Dyna 2014 How can I see Ur versions of Falcon?
New to Marauder's stuff, and this video was really helpful! What glue do you use to keep those little bits in place?
Awesome dude! Just regular super glue.
Hello and falcon looks great so you can pop out the waist from the legs right is that how you do the arms also...?
👍
Toby Martinez thank U.
Nice video, channel and IG account... Just made my first Marauder purchase and looking forward to it
Brian Reese Dude, Thanks a lot!! You've just taken your first step into a larger world.
Wish this was a complete tutorial that included how to replace the lower arms and even the paintimg.
Well, I don’t replace the paint. I just add a little more here and there. To replace the forearms, simply soak them in real hot water for a few seconds. Then gently pull them out. Do the same to put back in.
Hello, do you ever remove the pins that connect the upper and lower leg pieces to the knee? If so, what is the best method to do that? Thank you.
No sir.
Does the Web gear comes in green or black ???
aped3 green, black, and green & black.
Not that it really matters but I've always seen falcon with black hair.
I can totally see that. It might even be better with black hair.
Nice, that came out well. You're so right about the modern Falcons that Hasbro has done, blech. Some decent sculpts but the colors they are molded suck, the head isn't too bad though. For my Falcon, I used the head off the Retaliation Flint, I thought he looked more like Falcon anyways (young, reckless and cocky).
JediDB Dude, that Flint head is a good idea. I'd love to see pics of that. Do U have somewhere I could see it?
Not sure if I have pics of Falcon or not.
JediDB Dude, take some! Share!
are the heads able to swapped out from Hasbro and MTF?
Hey, what kind of paint did you use and did it hold up with the years? -thanks

Drinking game: Take a shot every time he says Falcon.
Good video. I have contacted them for a UK stockist so I don't get him by import tax.
Mitch Pays Thanks! Good luck man. Their stuff is amazing.

Try soaking the head in very hot water for a a minute.
@@Actionfigurejunky thank you. Got them for my tank fleet m.ua-cam.com/video/G5LU1GI4ve8/v-deo.html
You should make rambo custome
Bro why do I do the same by writing it down before I order, plus it give's me a vision of what I want...
MotorCity Bub Totally.
Where can I purchase custom figures?
jdiesel7218 well, U can purchase the gear and figures on www.marauderinc.com
But my figures aren’t for sale.

Awesome! Once this COVID19 situation gets better, I'll be adding them to my GI Joe collections. Thank you!
Destro Empire hell yeah dude.
Predator theme in the background 👍
Christopher Banuelos hell yeah! Nice dude.
Make your own figure, stop copying Joe's...lol jk
Like the predator music in the background...lol
crusader one Hahahaha! NEVER! I’ve done a few of my own creation. But coming up with the right recipe to replicate Joes is like having better versions of all my favorite childhood guys.
@@Actionfigurejunky I know I was just joking actually I like watching movies and try and make figures from the movies.
Dope!! That’s pretty cool! I can think of lots of movie characters I’d like as figures.
