I actually don’t mind female versions of the generic soldiers like the cobra pilot and the sniper. I think it mixes things up. Imagine troop building with mostly male soldiers and some female soldiers mixed in to break up the cookie cutter pattern of troops.
I liked Raptor as a kid, but never had the figure, and he was treated like a joke in the comic. So when he was announced I wasn’t excited because I figured he’d just be a dude with a cape like the o ring figure. But seeing this classified version surprised me and I preordered him as soon as it went live. Very fierce looking figure. I’m fine with the CLAW coming with a female figure as I don’t have any female Cobras yet. I’m planning to swap out the figure with either Storm Shadow or Retro CC anyway. With the Rattler tiers being lackluster compared to the HISS and Dragonfly, I’ve decided not to back this Haslab. Which is disappointing on several levels for me.
@@MaximumWarp2099 Thanks for the detailed comment. Raptor does look good, although I'm not a fan of the higher price point. The Retro Cobra Commander is going to look amazing on the claw. I know it sucks to skip a Haslab, but if it's not working for you, it's a lot of money to potentially waste.
also fk the blast effects n any uneccessary bs that saves plastic n give us a way more affordable retro canopy/guns...many are wanting this, and care about comparatively, then gunner n baroness. or hell just baroness then toss in another female trooper/gunner 🤷🏻♂️
In my perfect world, there would be 2 versions: regualar and deluxe. DX with all the bells and whistles. Do I want McFarlane Toys or Hasbro. Personally I'd pick McFarlane for that quantity over quality. All those minute detail are cool the first time. But how many times are you going to look inside and move the tiny controls, joysticks? You're not even going to display it with the lights on, although I'm a sucker for lighting gimmicks.
I think every thing was awesome. I don't mind the female pilots as they are just more army builders offering more diversity to my ranks. I as well liked Rakus I think it adds to the dimensions of Road pig and the Dreadnoks. I'm not the biggest fan of the patches but, I completely understand their reasoning and I feel like we are getting enough for the price point So I will take the patches no complaints
Dumb badges. What and why or whose idea for patches?! Missles and weapons are part of the plane. Give us another figure atleast or some kind ground missle carrier
If you watch the _A Toy Kinda Mood_ interview with Lenny and Tony, Lenny says that budget was blown on tooling for the Rattler, blast effects, electronics, and the tooling for WEASEL, the turrent gunner, and THE BARONESS. Apparently there wasn't enough money left to run off the TECHNO-VIPER (for the Rattler ground crew,) or of WEASEL, (for a Rattler pilot,) for repaints. So the _JOE_ team was stuck with two fucked up choices. Only two stretch goals or three stretch goals with on of the tiers being straight up 🫏. The _JOE_ team chose the latter of the two.

I agree with you about the vehicles.
@@enriqueae7532 That they don't need to come with pilots or that they should include better figures?

@@ralphvaderguy6860 Agreed. they should have never been a tier. if anything they should just been thrown in the box as part of the base offering
yeah we need to fan riot thats a weak tier offering. how bout classic retro gunner canopy to offset whatever the hell thats suppossed to be.

@@corneilusmcgillicuddy They should have just left them out of the stretch tiers. just go with 2 and thrown I. the patches 🤪
zandars shoulder pads blow horrible decision.
@@therealrobotapocalypse Yeah falcon has shoulder pads as well
