Orb standing triumphantly in the background is just perfect!
Awesome
When you put older Outback next to younger, it looked like the newer eyes had much larger irises. That might be part of why it looked "cartoony". If you have a steady enough painting hand, might be worth redoing them. Also, all three have much heavier, sloppier paint apps, making me think they were probably done at a different factory, or at least by less skilled workers.
Knowing nothing about Outback but being Aussie myself... Tiger Force wins. Love the shirt, and the eyes are better. Looks like he's feeling the outback sun; the new one looks like he's in a comfortably air-conditioned room in the city or suburbs.
Cover Girl looks good, like an action-y but also casual character. But as soon as you showed the face, I noticed that *all of* the paint was applied too low. Definitely getting her off Amazon for easy returns thanks to the windowless packaging. Eyelids in the middle of the eyes bug me so much. I totally feel you about the makeup being too heavy. You'd think someone called Cover Girl wouldn't be using the Homer Simpson makeup gun 😅
Haaaaa that intro Robo, simply glorious!
Chuckled all the through it, poor Crispin Glover. Whoops, "Falcon". right, right...
QC issues are ruining Classified. I only hope that they're listening and resolve these for the next waves forth-coming because those next wave of figures are boss. I am seriously considering chem-wiping the "photo-real" paint apps on some of them and attempting to repaint to correct them.
QC no longer affect sales because of those windowless package.
Now the day can start. Also, loved the opening! And the text coming from behind the packages? Sliiick!😎
10:30 It also looks like the eyes and eyebrows on your Cover Girl are printed too low as well, the sculpt lines for both those areas are visible above where the printing is.
Cover Girl is the only one of this group that interested me, but honestly that face paint has really thrown me, plus it being windowless means I can't exactly check to see if it's better in person. Outback I'm good with the last version, and in the promo shots I didn't like the eye paint, and Falcon didn't interest me.
The nice thing for me is that I'm not super invested in this property, so it's easy for me to pass certain ones by, but it is a shame about Cover Girl since I'm all for adding more female figures to the shelf, and the earlier offerings in that regard have been great.
Falcon is definitely a swing and a very big miss. Not only does he have stroke-face, but the Mick Jagger lips aren't helping matters at all.
3:17 it’s like chuck norris the 90s version vs today.
Outback's just the 'Chuck Norris' of the G.I. Joe team. There's the same jokes and meme being made around him: "Outback was bitten by a snake and two days later, the snake died" or "When Outback does push-ups, he's just pushing the Earth down." and he's super humble or not-so-serious about it.
In the Army, that radio backpack is called....a Manpack! 😂 True story! I always hated it.
It's just not Falcon without the scarf. Thanks for the detailed review.
fwoosh I love this u made me buy my first GI Joes and I've been waiting for another review for so long
Love seeing new lil editing tricks pop up every other video or so. Great to see new stuff coming from the channel
LOl Orb at the background :D Luv it!
Another great review!! I always look forward to your reviews on the figures they're straightforward no BS and the comparisons are straight on pictures of clear close up! I can't say enough good things! I even watch you reviews sometimes even if I already own the figure LOL
Just a little military POV for ya, Robo, Falcon's shirt isn't untucked. The BDU (for battle dress uniform, for those who don't know) blouse - and yes, it's called a blouse - is worn like a button-down sport coat, more than a shirt.
Hasbro's solution of having the bottom attached to the web gear makes sense from an engineering/figure development viewpoint, but it does still "read" a little odd, as you mentioned.
My favorite part is when Falcon said, "Thunderbirds are go!"
I loved when he jumped into the Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle.
These comments filmed in SUPERMARIONATION.
Thought I heard him saying something like AMERICA F*CK YEAH
I love your GiJoe intros and glad they are back.
I finally took a gamble and got Cover Girl. Face looks good, much better than others I've seen. Her shoulders were perfect, but I did get the upside down torso. I took her jacket off, popped off her torso, flipped it and then she was super wobbly. So I stuffed a little bit of paper in there and now she's perfect. I actually like her more now because I had to do a little troubleshooting.
Great reviews Robo! I really want to see what you or other customizers can do to those faces with some good paint apps.
RAMEN TOY from Singapore are making a special Falcon head to replace that horrendous P0$
For a split second I remembered that she drove a vehicle and you pulled out her data pad with the wolverine tank on it. That and the Bridge layer were my favorite Joe toys. I NEED 1/12 scale of both those treaded wonders.
Cover Girl’s data pad is made for the screen to face outward. The holster for it has a tab that fits in the groove on the back of the pad.
After staring intently at various target python patrol figures last night, i can say they look weird due to the shoddy photo real. Out of ten, i found one that actually looked good. The rest were slightly misaligned or the paint wasn't evenly applied. Didn't help that the photo real was painted on black.
Thank you for the great review.
Hasbro will hopefully either fix the paint or a new head scuplt when they do a Night Force Falcon.
Finally, some more Joe reviews. I subscribe just for your Joe reviews.
Hasbro's been making 🎶shiny harder plastic people🎶
Oh Yeah! More G.I. Joe Figure Review
Seeing Falcon in person just makes me realize how much I want a Classified Nemesis Enforcer.
Heck I wonder how that would look. I can only imagine that won’t be until further from now
Awesome video Robo Fwoosh 🙂👍😇😎
Falcon looks like Jim Caviezel. 10:07 It's not just the paint missing the lips, I think the whole print of Cover Girl's face was applied slightly lower than it's supposed to be.
Hahahhahaa 😂 Jim Caviezel? More Bruce Jenner in tr@nsitioN
Neck ball is a different size from Lady Jay so swapping the neck with Movie Scarlett and Lady Jaye doesnt work, and the dumbell for head to neck stays in the head when you pop it apart.
I definitely want the outback for the strapping and accessories, definitely want that backpack. Falcon would be great for a custom Mando, scout with a shotgun. Cover Girl would be a great Mando base, would keep the Jacket and have the chest armor under it, probably sand down the collar. Some sholder armor could be glued to the top and cover the bicep without hindering.
Great review! Hasbro can release Falcon under the Night Force sub team. Hopefully hasbro can fix Falcons face sculpt by then. Sooner the better!!
I don't know why they didn't decide to stop production for a quickly redo of his face! Saying that I do prefer the glossy Flint Ultimates final faces from S7 than this crackhead face with cheap dragqueen Botox on his lips
Cover Girl’s face application is slightly shifted downward for har whole face. If it had been looking slightly downward it would have hit the mark. But honestly as much as I like these 6” Joes, hers and Falcon’s face are just throwing me off. Hope they look better in person.
G'day Wild Weasel,
Keep the Classified content coming 👌
Yo Joe
I'm definitely doing head swaps for Cover Girl and Falcon. I may use the movie GI Joe Scarlet head for her and a Marvel Legends Winter Soldier for Falcon.
Love the intro!
Are those spats or are they jungle boots?
Falcon's head reminds me of George Takei with a dash of Burn Gorman
Beardy throw in a little dull coat on the photo real and let us know how it goes; taking a bit off the shine will probably make it much better
That Falcon is a great base body for a custom Big Boss from MGS3
Falcon kinda looks like Slappy the dummy from Goosebumps
I knew I had seen that face somewhere lol
Great review as always! Falcon looks like he's wearing makeup. Makes him resemble a puppet
Falcon looking like a young Dick Tracy Pruneface.
Cover Girl is going into my collection. Bet they put out a long haired version with a Wolverine later on.
I almost want to get the normal Outback and swap heads with the Tiger Force one.
Do you or could you do a video on how you do your photos. Would love some tips and tricks you use for those photos you take of the figures.
I'm thinking of removing Falcons harness with that shirt at the bottom and replacing with another one. And yes getting rid of that boy scout scarf thing. It's too 70s. Who is he, Charles Nelson Rielly?🤣
I understood that reference!
I have a theory on the bigger heads, I think because they use the photo real Tech they've been basing head sizes on celebrities and celebrities from my experience all have larger heads compared to their bodies.
This was good, lol
I hope they will make a new head for the Night Force reissue of Falcon, or at least change the face paint. So I can switch the heads, and give the Night Force version with the ugly head a gas mask or night vision goggles to cover that mug. And for now when my pre-orders arrive I will put Falcon somewhere in the back with another Joe's arm or gun in front of his face. Great review once again Robo!
Falcon will get a Tiger Force repaint and it will be interesting to see how that face looks.
The last new stock I've seen on the shelves is the Tiger force figs.
accessories looks great, way better than black series
Great review as always Robo!
You forgot to show off your custom Outback from a playday!
Well with Wal-Mart getting Night Force and I believe Falcon was a part of that team we could get a new one there. That or the Sonic fighters as well. Recall a different look in the DiC episode that deal with a drug kingpin and the Joe's and Cobras actually teaming up to stop him.
I ordered CoverGirl only recently so await her. Still need to get Falcon and Outback. Renaming the TF one. Downundah maybe?
@fwooshrobo Definitely agree these are probably the worst quality-control wise of the entire line. Still getting them 😢
Falcon's head is ridiculous. Imma hold off for a revision. Or buy it when it's $9
Alright grandpa, shirt's getting a little tight 😂😂😂
I just got my Outback yesterday and I have the exact same paint imperfection on the arm 😥
Yep just got to swap out that cover girl head.
I've been looking forward to that classic Outback.....but.......having the TF version for as long as I have........I just prefer the older more experienced look and.....didn't even buy the classic one....I ended up buying two Covergirl figures because the first one's left arm would not stay on the shoulder and the face print was......just......rough...but the second one is all around absolutely........fine.....she's just fine.......she looks a little like Joan Rivers and I can't get over that but at least the print is done well and while I wish she had a softer and maybe younger looking face....it's Covergirl on my shelf.....oh yea....and I got Falcon.......I love the character...and I own the figure...and that's all I can really say about Falcon.....
It's peaky blinders Thomas Shelby/ Scarecrow
Eyyy you got the Z Fold!!! I have a Z Flip 3. Is yours the Fold 3 or 4?
I still haven’t seen Zarana/Dusty wave. 😢🤷♂️
Falcone is Burn Gotham (Torchwood, DKRises) face. EDIT: GORMAN 🤬
Oh, and is the MOS graphic on back of package now, too?
I still haven't seen them in the wild, but they were all 35% off on Pulse recently.
I have a question do you think that $26.50 like in the marvel legend line for just a new head and no accessories. And I love the g.i.joe llanto I think you're right about the factory not catching things early enough love your videos
Can I ask what's the name of the shock oil everyone is using to loosen tight joints?
Would a splash of dull coat help with those faces? They are awful shiny too.
Robo, it looks like I won the face lotto on my trio compared to your versions of these.
My Falcon looks normal/decent, and his factory date on the bottom of the foot is 22941.
My version of Cover Girl also looks way better, and the code I have is 23021. She does have loose arm cuts, though, so any idea how to get those to stay on better?
I don't think Zartan would even cosplay as Falcon. ~shudder~ He would be like: "I will disguise myself as Freedom." And walk in like Raptor. Lol
I guess I'm just worried that we're not getting our money's work because I really love these figures have a good day i love your videos
Great video sir!! Man Hasbros falling off!!! I'll get all three but only for collection purposes.
Me too! Even if Hasbro is a multi million company I can't believe why didn't they put all the effort for this line.. i can't stand Falcon and Cover Girl
She looks like a rehab h00k.e.r
hi there, Falcon's face to me lookes like something Jeff Dunham would use in his act with Walter and Peanut, but not a bad figure.
Falcon looks like the actor that played George McFly
The shotgun is a Russian SPAS 12 gauge (think Sarah Connor shooting at the T-1000 in the steel mill). Makes no sense that a green beret would have that
Gotta go orange shirt and grey hair Outback
Falcon looks like the main character in Team America 🤣
Falcon’s head/face feel like they were used for the wrong figure. Like it should have been used for General Colton aka “G I Joe”. Which would actually line up more with some of the other details on the figure. Such as the longer blouse. Because the Falcon figure looks like a mid to late 60’s GI Joe. Just with a beret instead of the pillbox cap.
I finally picked up Falcon for $11.99. A lot of people said that it doesn't look that bad in person. THEY LIED.
Did you say they are being release march 23 I thought they was releasing on April 1
Did The Orb join the background crew with Hologram Iron man and the Watcher?
The photoreal mishap on cocergirl is unfortunate. It actually missed the yes and lips.
That falcon head sculpt looks like a creepy ass ventriloquist doll
Falcon looks like a waiter at a French military base with that scarf
Cover girl's whole face is off registration. You can see it with the lips AND the eyes.
The figures looks good... I like the jacket on Cover Girl. Outback looks awesome. Tiger Force version looks more menacing.. Cover Girl looks like a comic version from IDW in the face? Falcon looks cool!
falcon on clearance
Cover Girl.. (despite the paint) is kinda giving my Kylie Minogue face. I've had a hard time getting that photo real pooaint app off with acetone, is there another way, or just patience?
Robo please review the dungeons and dragons honor among thieves wave 1
Why am I getting Tom Berenger vibes from Falcon at 3:37?
It's the paint apps on Falcon and Covergirl that give pause. Covergirl is way over-made-up, and Falcon's lips just have too much colour.
Another complaint I have about Falcon is that Hasbro should have given us an "upgrade" and forked over the $$ to get a proper tiger-stripe camo scheme on his uniform. Not a 2-tone pattern we got, but a more authentic 4-tone pattern--that would have plussed the figure immeasurably. It would have further disguised the re-use of Recondo's body as well.
And, personally, I think that Tiger Force Outback is the better looking of the two, the whole figue just sings.
Is that a better squirrel girl body?
Haha year book renders!
So, the shotgun they gave Falcon is similar to the one the vintage Flint came with. Falcon should have the shotgun they gave Cover Girl.
You remember that puppet show the Thunderbird’s that’s what Falcon looks like, he looks like one of the puppet’s,this has to be one of the sloppiest paint job’s I’ve seen on a classified yet,and he looks like he could use some of that dull coat , and with Cover girl I keep seeing Joan Rivers sorry man. Dam that extreme close-up looks crazy man she needs a Wolverine . I wise they had a deal with ERTlL the model company and they made one:12 scale Joe vehicle models we could put together and paint
That lowered paint app missing the sculpt on the eyes and mouth is super annoying. I bought 3 ML Thenas because of misregistration on the lips.
Cover Girl's print on his fig seems to have shifted downwards 1, maybe half a milimeter and fucked it up.
Shortly after watching this, I had to go to the ER to remove a tiny assault rifle from my esophagus. Thanks a lot, Robo 🙄
Nightforce Robo. Hasbro started Nightforce with Big Ben. Falcon used to be on nightforce. They could always reissue him as a Nightforce.
I'm hoping for the white and black outfit, I think it was "sonic force" or something like that...
Falcon looks a bit like JCVD…x)
OMG Robo look out?? ORB is loose in the background and up to something.
Cover Girl looks like she’s crying. :(
Cool video, as always! I’m enjoying your thorough reviews. 👍
