Almost everything that I like from Beach Head, Firefly, and the regular Shockwave all rolled into one figure. I just got mine in and absolutely love it!
Man, that goofy double barrel rifle strikes again. I forgot we were getting one with this guy after Big Ben and Action Soldier, and now we're getting *another* one with the Iron Grenadier.
I reordered mine with the Walmart sale, it will be here Friday. Now I need to get NF Tunnel Rat to complete the team. Thanks for your service and great review as always.
Really good review and thank you for your service! I’m really happy with this set but I’m a big fan of the Night Force sub team….I just really like the darker colors and the overall color scheme of this set plus all of the Night Force logos/paint apps. I even did a quick three minute review of mine!
Thanks for the video! I had preordered on Pulse, but when I saw Walmart's sale last week, I ordered there and cancelled Pulse. I think it's pretty clever they marked him originally to $54.99USD, but marked him down to $38USD. That's probably a good sale price point to move the merch.
@beesbattlegrounds Lemme know what exactly, and Ill put it on my list of suggested weapons and gear I give to Mark. Me n Johnny (Cages_customs) give him ideas all the time. We've had more than a few made 🤙🏼
I’ll be giving mine the Gridiron Elite Operator #9 pistol carbine set. I feel like that seems like close combat SWAT and looks pretty bad ass. I appreciate what both of you guys have been bringing to the community!
Solid review. Blue SW looks like a rookie on the Joe team & NF SW looks like a seasoned Cobra battled vet. I REALLY like the figure & the bike. (My wheel fell off also). I agree with you on the weapons. I was born in the same city as Shockwave!
@@beesbattlegrounds I think breaker and the ram was $35 when it was originally released I believe …..$55 for a bunch of weapons I aleardy have 3 0r 4 of in my extra accessories case and it kind of annoys me they reused fire flys drone and backpack. Some things should be special and unique to that character …..just little nit picks I bought one regardless and the bike and soundwave look bad ass……and the weapon stuff I’m bitching about that’s just me I’m sure there are new collectors that Missed out on the cobra island FF and don’t have the backpack and drone and are stoked to get it so 🤷🏻 really who cares what I think …it’s all relative
Weapon wise they mixed Firefly with Big Ben's for this figure as well as some basic stuff from the original "side arm and knives". Including Big Ben's weapons is odd. Should have just thrown in Grunts weapons. Which would be cheaper but give you additional rifles. Rather than a wonky assault rifle and another machine gun.
An excellent upgrade/repaint for some already impressive pieces! I dig the “tired baggy” look on his eyes. Hopefully it will look better than the OG SW “people’s eyebrow” look. I have all of the NF figures except for Tunnel Rat, if he’s still on sale I might get one. I just wish they kept the gas mask/glowing feature!
I skipped out the mainline version so I can save up for the Night Force version and he looks more intimidating with darker camo. He's also the first Night Force Classified figure I bought along with Wolf Spider who I'm waiting next to be delivered. I wouldn't mind if he was just a single figure but the repaint ram cycle is a sweet bonus ride! Glad I reordered him with the $38 deal.
i actually got this for near 40 bucks. for some reason walmart put it and a couple other figures on sale before it released. Made me feel a lot better about the order. I think shockwave and the ram cycle just look quite a bit better in the night force coloring. I think a lot of joes look good with darker colors, as opposed to tigerforce. which tend s to look garish
I jumped on it as soon as I saw the sale this weekend. Going to pass up $1 off. My biggest gripe is the wheel on the sidecar pops off like you showed in the video and I honestly feel he has too many guns as well as having the drone. I personally could have done without that but I like that he has backpack this time
Mine is coming from Walmart. In regards to weapons, I am hoping they do a weapons pack and I pray that they use better plastic. I mean, they can't say it doesn't make good monetary sense, considering how successful Valaverse has been with selling weapon packs.
Should get mine tomorrow. Blue Shockwave has already been retired from the display. Weirdly 127 is important to me as well, but I can't really say why precisely w/o disclosing PII.
Funny - I got mine in about 5 hrs before you posted! First time I've matched up with YT's! reviews. And I'm definitely looking to make that CAR double barreled a single barrel! Between the regular Shockwave, the Night Force Shockwave, and a custom Shockwave using the original Firefly, I may have to do a line-up shot of them staggered behind the riot shield.
I got my orders of this today from WM too, loving it so far and at a great price. NF filling out nicely I think. I saw they had NF TR on sale also for 18.99 I think at WM online too
I was on the fence with this one but I think I'll get it now. Might swap out his gear with the regular Shockwave. I have Big Ben, haven't picked up Wolf Spider, Shooter or Tunnel Rat, but I probably will now. Granted Tunnel Rat is more so I can swap the legs with the original Tunnel Rat. I like Night Force more than Tiger Force, but I don't feel the need to build the team, even though I am going to end up with all of them it seems. One thing I will say about Hasbro, it may take them awhile (if ever) to make their accessories not gummy trash, but they do seem to be the only people who have figured out how to make a proper folding Bi-pod and Night Vision Goggles. Even if they've only done it for 1 NVG and 2 LMGs. At least they have it figured out. Can't say that about Vala or every 3D printer and 3rd party 1:12 weapon seller.
Just came, I got to say I miss the carboard only boxes lol... I'd love to know how the factory workers get the stuff into the tray had to cut this and Beachhead's gear out hehe. They had the nerve to also use tape! These things wouldn't just pop out :P
Definitely did pick up the set; the sale just caused me to up my order to 3 after Target randomly canceled my Tiger Island Roadblock & Tripwire(a problem I had with just Tiger Force and not Python Patrol) , am I just unlucky or is this just the way Target does it's thing.
I can’t figure out what that piece of plastic sticking out the bottom of his backpack is for and the whole on the side? Seems as if they have no use. I’ll have to go through my figures and see if any of them have the same pack and if it’s a reused mold.
Really like the color scheme on the figure and bike. Except for the SMG, not a fan of the rest of the weapons, too gummy and even the “Gatling Gun” barrels bend too easily. Reuse of the Firefly backpack/drone is meh for me. Helmet works well. Great review as always.
Got mine today. almost perfect. My sidecar came with no pin to hold the wheel. WTF happened?! anyone know how to get hasbro customer service? Edit: I just rebought it on sale and ill just return the busted one.
I was an MP too. 194th MP company, 716 MP battalion out of Fort Campbell, KY. Thanks for your service brother.
@@wardog2a thank you for yours as well!
I dress as Night Force Shockwave come convention time. I was all over this one from the moment it was announced. I also love Night Force in general.
@@ShadowStrike28 it's such a fun subteam!

Great review. I got mine today. Definitely glad for the Walmart sale.
I love the improvement on the figure.

Did you get the sale? It’s been on Walmart site for $38 for the last 2 weeks. Still there. I canceled and reordered. 🍻
I picked it up. Great vid. Helped me to figure out that big gun on the sidecar holder.
I reordered mine with the Walmart sale, it will be here Friday. Now I need to get NF Tunnel Rat to complete the team. Thanks for your service and great review as always.
Hell ya got that $38 deal!, delivery tomorrow!! Great review bro!
I really like the night force looks of characters but my main thing for this pack was another bike, colors, and that helmet looks sick

@@flaffel57 nice! And I like that analogy!
Got mine this morning!!! figure and bike are awesome! Didn’t need all the extra stuff that it came with just so they could pad the price on it

Joes used to do weapon packs or atleast in the UK for the ARAH ones. And missile packs for lost vehicle ones :P
@falcon048 it seems there is quite the demand for Hasbro to do them, maybe corporate is the hold up 🤔

Mine was supposed to come today but is stuck in shipping limbo. Seeing this review makes me hope it gets unstuck soon. 🤞
@@jefferybrand4129 hopefully it hits tomorrow!
Damn the team looks sicc! I only have Big Ben & The chic.
I ended up passing.
A great review of this great set!
I had him preordered and canceled due to lack of funds and talking myself out of it.
I regret that decision.
I’ll reorder him when I can.
@@timvanboening9432 I'm sure you'll be able to grab him!
Bike is awesome. I do like the NF Shockwave camo scheme more than the V1.
Cool figure great video. I feel like Night Force should all have night vision goggles
@mrnic4787 thatd be a fun accessory
I got 2. Really adds a nice touch to the NF team
I don't really need another RAM, but I do really like the color scheme of this Shockwave. I wish this came with his original equipment though.
@@TACADD this ram is so much better than the others when it comes to paint apps
@@beesbattlegroundsOh, the LMG is M249 SAW with an AR-15 stock.
got mine today 😁, I'll see you on the battle grounds 👍
A Griffin not an Eagle.😊
I received him today as well 😊
Walmart site has this in-stock for 38 dollars right now
Mine didn’t have a cap on the sidecar tire either.

That's a great looking set. Hasbro really should sell weapon and gear load out sets.

They really did forget to put the pin through the wheel on the sidecar on every copy. Jeez 😂
I got mine today, and it didn’t have that cap to hold the wheel in the side car either.
I got it with the sale price otherwise I would have passed. Im not really buying sub teams but I did buy the Big Ben.
$38 sale for the win!
Would a covert special task force have the words “COVERT SPECIAL TASK FORCE” stenciled on their vehicles?
I mean to be fair he probably wouldn't be driving a motorcycle with a sidecar mounted minigun either, but here we are lmao.

I’d be interested if your really selling the bike
