Awesome review Manny!! I can't wait to get mine, you got me hella pumped for mine to arrive while I was already hella pumped! Love what the Classified team is doing, so many great details.
While the Sky Hawk, S.H.A.R.C., and either F.A.N.G. would be awesome, I think we need to address the pair of elephants in the room: We need a Wolverine and a Water Moccasin yesterday!
I find is works a little better to swap the ammo cans around and let the bullet ribbon help hold the cans down, its not perfect, but I plan to find something to jam in there and hold them in place. My only hope is that we get a MOBAT thru HasLab so we can get a complete 1982 set. We should be getting a green MMS with a Col. Hawk. Have the JUMP with Starduster, Grand Slam with a HAL. and then HasLab the MOBAT with Steeler, Zap and Short Fuze as bonus figures. Thats my dream. Great review.
Getting this in hand ... bring on all the vehicles. The VAMP is absolutely awesome! I can't wait for the Sky Hawk. I only picked up one Vamp because I know the inevitable recolors will come one day. But I do kind of wish I had 2, it's just so cool. I see others have mentioned about putting the ammo cans on the short end, that's how I have mine and seems to work fine. Great review ... so glad that you are covering Classified too.
@@Xmanny87 Oh I've been subbed for about 2 years now, lol! Definitely seen all your Classified ones, and just about every Legends review since I subbed.
Great review Manny. Real quick about the amo cases. Mine formed on its own. I pushed it down a couple of times. But after a while, the pastic relaxed n stayed flat.
This was a great review!! Love the line up of the original characters, the sales ad for the vintage Joes and that pose with Grunt hanging out the side! Can't wait to get mine. #VampSpam
You can use a little sticky tack on the bottoms of the ammo clips to get them to stay still. It looks great with the Ram cycle. I will totally get a second one if they restock.
I wasn't disappointed with this purchase but I only bought one because as we all know we are going to be getting vehicles and they do take up a lot of space
I got only one. I got some accessories from pixies design. Door roof and the rear steps. Gridiron has some awesome adds on too kind of expensive but great.
Your ammo cans can lock in place if you stand them up. With the ammo belt sort of laying on the ground. They come together in a small square that traps both of them forming two skinny "x's" next to each other. My only gripes with this is the gun should have been about 2 cm taller and be able to latch on more securely. Then also I would have placed a small platform for a gunner. And made the trunk below the gun removable so I can customize the vamp to be like a jeep and troop carry 3 more figures back there instead of the gun. I would have had to buy two vamps to get two different looks. Oh make the front wheels steer. But these are all minor gripes. Other than that excellent vehicle. 9.5/10 for me.
great video mate and congrats on that shoutout from Viperisland. As a blind youtuber this review was helpful for me to get a bettter grasp of what I will be getting in the mail soon. Thanks for the detail mate!😊
@@betaswitch1 Ya what happened to that guy? One day he started that whole "I would like to apologize to no one" thing. I thought it was pretentious honestly. He used to read my comments and reply but now adays he doesnt. What happened did I miss something?
@@Xmanny87 ya he must like you he doesnt shout out my stuff anymore. :( Heck he gave you a community post that was very odd of him to do. Great for your channel though. Did you see Irocin3000's video about not making vamp reviews? I cannot spell his name at all it is just to weird. I have two diffrent text readers and each tells me a diffrent way to say his name. its pretty funny but that guy has got one hellova big chip on his shoulder about something.
love your very very detail reviews. Subbed. I also don't like the gummy rubber plastic too.. just a bit too gummy. If it was just little less gummy would be prefect.
Everybody is doing the ammo cans wrong that’s why they don’t sit right you need to watch Jay C’s review. He puts them in the right spot. I know the instructions don’t specify, but that’s why you’re having trouble with the ammo cans.
That ammo can issue really pisses me off. It feels like an after thought or somebody fogot that the ammo cans need to clip in somewhere. they would have been better off just molding the cans onto the stand somewhere for crying out loud. Also why such an adherence to the old toy in some areas? The one reason the old vamp is not as popular as the Awestriker is that you can load more then 2 figures on it. Its such a huge missed opportunity that there is no appropriately sized side steps with pegs or a rear bumper with footpegs and a grab bar so a figure could man the gun on the back if you want to. Comeone Hasbro where the thought towards play and display here? For the price of the vehicle far too many people are giving the issues on this thing a pass! If it was 50 bucks without a fig sure I could forgive some things but this things is ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS! Heck they charged me over 50 dollars to ship it to Canada after duty on top of that. And don't even get me started on the gummy plastics used here. Again the curse of playdough weapons.
I was doing it wrong on the ammo caches. Someone showed me the correct way to do it so I might do a video showing it the right way where it holds in place.
Someone on IG tagged me on how to do them correctly. I didn’t think I was doing them wrong the whole time lol. I thought that was how it was supposed to sit naturally but I’ll probably do a short showing the correct way.
No clutch pedal for Clutch? That seems like a missed detail. Even if the vehicle it was based on was an automatic, I bet that Clutch would've done a manual swap.
Awesome review Manny!! I can't wait to get mine, you got me hella pumped for mine to arrive while I was already hella pumped! Love what the Classified team is doing, so many great details.
Thanks for watching the review bro! Means a ton. You are gonna feel like it’s Christmas all over again.
The vehicles were the thing that really sold the old school Joes.
I'm happy to see them make a return. This looks worth the money.
Yes. Vehicles were always my favorites in any Joe line. Past to present.
While the Sky Hawk, S.H.A.R.C., and either F.A.N.G. would be awesome, I think we need to address the pair of elephants in the room: We need a Wolverine and a Water Moccasin yesterday!
Haha. Yeah, maybe in due time. I’m in no rush as I still have to figure out vehicle space for display lol
I want awestriker and apc, oh and msv/stinger or night force vamps
If you watch Lenny's unboxing on pulse he shows you how the ammo should sit.
I usually don’t watch those unboxing videos but someone did tag me on IG to show me the correct way so I may do a RUclips short to showcase it.
I find is works a little better to swap the ammo cans around and let the bullet ribbon help hold the cans down, its not perfect, but I plan to find something to jam in there and hold them in place.

Great review.
That’s a dream that may come true with or without a Haslab. This line is too hot right now.
I hope this thing comes back in stock. It looks awesome, I'd hate to miss it
I think it’ll come back in stock

@@Xmanny87 Oh I've been subbed for about 2 years now, lol! Definitely seen all your Classified ones, and just about every Legends review since I subbed.
Love every little details 🙌
Thank you!
@Xmanny87 You're Welcome!! 😁😉
Remind me again why Hasbro can't lower the production cost of the Engine of Vengeance and release it with a Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider on Hasbro Pulse.
lol hey man, I’m with you on that.
Great review Manny. Real quick about the amo cases. Mine formed on its own. I pushed it down a couple of times. But after a while, the pastic relaxed n stayed flat.
Someone showed me the correct way to do it. So I might do a video correcting myself. Thanks
That 2nd helmet reminds me of the Genoshian Magistrate helmets from X-Tinction Agenda...
🤔🤔🤔 you’re on to something here
This was a great review!! Love the line up of the original characters, the sales ad for the vintage Joes and that pose with Grunt hanging out the side! Can't wait to get mine. #VampSpam
Thanks so much!

I will totally get a second one if they restock.
Hey great video!! I love the fire effects at the end of your video. Would you please let me know where I can get something similar?
Clutch and the VAMP look amazing. One day i may pick it up. As a kid i had the 3.75" version. Epic review, Manny.
So did I. Awesome! I’m reliving my childhood here. lol
I wasn't disappointed with this purchase but I only bought one because as we all know we are going to be getting vehicles and they do take up a lot of space
Yeah they sure do. I feel like I’m going to have to buy a new place to have a second toy room just for Joes lol
PUT THE AMMO BOXES VERTICAL, THEY FITMUCH EASIER
Love this Vamp much more than I originally thought I would. Ready for my Dragonfly now!
Right? Can’t imagine the excitement I’m going to feel when I have that Dragonfly in hand.
Turn the ammo around where the feeds are facing in and feed the ammo into the guns, the boxes will stay down then. Fyi
Someone tagged me on IG doing it what looks the right way and it’s so much better now.
Love the ninja turtle helmet
I got only one. I got some accessories from pixies design. Door roof and the rear steps. Gridiron has some awesome adds on too kind of expensive but great.
I look forward to the Night Force repaint
Turn the ammo canisters on their sides and they stay in place
I did a video correcting it today.
The Ammo cases are placed incorrectly , They work perfectly
I’ve been told already. I’ll try some recommendations that I’ve been given in the comments.
Your ammo cans can lock in place if you stand them up. With the ammo belt sort of laying on the ground. They come together in a small square that traps both of them forming two skinny "x's" next to each other.
My only gripes with this is the gun should have been about 2 cm taller and be able to latch on more securely. Then also I would have placed a small platform for a gunner. And made the trunk below the gun removable so I can customize the vamp to be like a jeep and troop carry 3 more figures back there instead of the gun. I would have had to buy two vamps to get two different looks. Oh make the front wheels steer. But these are all minor gripes. Other than that excellent vehicle. 9.5/10 for me.
Thanks. Some have given me some recommendations already and I appreciate each one. I will try it once I get back home.

@@Blind_Prime no idea. Stopped watching awhile back.
love your very very detail reviews. Subbed. I also don't like the gummy rubber plastic too.. just a bit too gummy. If it was just little less gummy would be prefect.
Thanks for the sub! I appreciate you.
You came through clutch on this review bro. Pardon the pun 😊. Love Clutch and love The Vamp.
lol all good, you know I love puns. Thank you. 🙏🏽
use museum wax on the ammo cans...don't freak out lol. Museum wax isn't permanent and it holds them perfectly in place.
Turn the ammo cans so they stand up longways on the platform. You might have to switch which side they are on. Mine standup fine and are not crooked.
I’ll try that. Thank you.
Have to wait until May to get mine from Pulse UK. Lucky Yanks.
Everybody is doing the ammo cans wrong that’s why they don’t sit right you need to watch Jay C’s review. He puts them in the right spot. I know the instructions don’t specify, but that’s why you’re having trouble with the ammo cans.
Feed you belt of rounds into the machine guns more and the ammo cans will stand properly.
missile system, that's what you are getting before anything else that's towable
Is that tow hitch on the front a string mechanism or sculpt?
String. I demonstrated it. You can see I pulled it out if you go back and check, maybe you missed that part.
Hey how are the wheels stability? Another RUclips said they were kinda loose and Wobbly
I have no complaints. Sturdy on mine. That person may have gotten a faulty one with QC issues but that’s just my guess.
Pretty sure your ammo cans are in wrong. Don't flip them but do switch them so the cans are still facing the same way but under the opposite gun.
I guess you missed today’s video where I corrected it.
5:03 Hey look it's Doomguy! 😆
😂😂😂
I thought the same thing 👍
The helmet that comes with this set looks like a tmnt..😂
#Vampspam
😂😂😂
Where are those effect pieces from?
Which ones?
@@Xmanny87 the blast effects on the machine guns.
Did you have a problem with his head being loose?

Look at the instructions again! Your ammo cans are backwards. The ribbon feed comes out from the center- not the outside.
Instructions also show them on the deck next to the turret.
Someone on IG tagged me on how to do them correctly. I didn’t think I was doing them wrong the whole time lol. I thought that was how it was supposed to sit naturally but I’ll probably do a short showing the correct way.
No clutch pedal for Clutch? That seems like a missed detail. Even if the vehicle it was based on was an automatic, I bet that Clutch would've done a manual swap.
Being a mechanic himself, he would do that lol
@tonysfigs shows how to put the ammo boxs in correctly & secured
I’ll check that out. Thanks!
The ammo cannisters need to be sitting where the bandoliers are coming out of the bottom. It fits nicely and they don't move around.
I made a video correcting it a few days ago
Yet no ecto 1.
