I agree. Lately Gijoe has been getting away with the awesome sculpts but a lot of factory issues. Like the nunchuk hand is fused. And the plastic is super gummy. There is no excuse for that when you own the license.
The advantage to you guys getting stuff before we do is I get a heads up on whether or not a figure is worth picking up. These are definitely on my want list now...
@@bigbacon9111 glad that you can see the positive side of things… There was at least a wave which didn’t arrive here first (Shipwreck & Co., those arrived here during late summer). And I’m still waiting on Mindbender and Serpentor, for example 😂…
I recently pre ordered it. I would love if the tan color Valkyrie was black too. Black and blue, seems like the classic colors I’m used too but it’s all good .
I've never painted anything before, but I'm thinking of repainting those tan bits... Gray? Blue? Black? Even red? I'll play with it in photoshop to decide.
Well, there you have a little project. Maybe they should have added the tan stuff as an option, an extra set of accessories, instead of forcing them in.
My army exists of squads of 3 & 5. So I can deck out the figures with some variety. I got 4 infantry and 1 trooper as well as 1 officer. 2 crimson guards "going to be 3" 2 bats 4 vipers & a viper officer. 3 python vipers + a python bat. Going to have 3 snow vipers with 1 or 2 arctic bats. So it is kind of squad based. I got 1 pack of these valkeries coming but ill get a second.
Everybody seems to hate the tan gear. I might try to repaint the straps red and the guns grey. Something like a Viper. I hope they make female versions of all the different Vipers.
I don't hate the tan I just think it clashes with the blue too much lol. If they release a desert or Jungle or even artic variant with a more blue friendly gear I'll swap said variant for the tan gear so ut doesn't go to waste.
Man, not the first time I’ve heard that… And I’m glad, as I admired him as an artist and as a person who made his way up. I guess we have a similar voice type, and we both speak with german accent… For the quotes I’d have to watch his movies again… It’s been a while…
I think they’re worth that chance… so my minus for me is the diaphragm+abdomen articulation (it is a large minus, sadly). But they are nonetheless a cool pair of figures.
Agreed on QC, I just sent a completely different figure back because a piece was off in the box before I opened it. Sure I could glue it down but some of these items are not cheap, we shouldn't pay hard earned money for an item and immediately have to fix it.
I ordered two of these. I love the new female buck they've created for these figures. My ONLY complaint is from a color design perspective. I understand that the tan creates an interesting contrast, but it doesn't match the color design of the original Cobra Trooper/Infantry or Officer. I would have largely preferred if they matched exactly. That way you could mix them together. Instead, they're more a separate squad from the troopers.
Little squads are as enjoyable as big ones. Especially since Hasbro is creating several army builders. These ladies look very good. I agree more hands is the next level improvement Hasbro can offer. Nice use of Zarana. I think Hasbro teams also use different factories. They have their own specialties.
@@aliasangelalias Checked: They Are very easy to remove (turn the arms to the back and pull the harness and armband… The straps on the forearms are painted on though)… Gunholster just needs to be pulled down the leg, but for the belt you’ll have to heat the fig and pop the waist apart…
@@galacticmanlarry582 Oh I see... so it is abit of a process but not impossible. I hope I won't break mine when I get it. Thanks for checking for me. Cheers~
@@aliasangelalias If you put the figure into hot water for 12-18 seconds then you’ll be able to pull it apart without stressing of breaking pegs… Make sure you heat the abdomen again before pushing it back in…

Definitely has quality control issues across the line. Loose joints, tight joints, frozen joints. That tan is problematic. Dark blue would have even been acceptable, but light tan? You can always dye them, but thats took much trouble to go through really.
Why did they make all the ones gear that tan color?! Only reason I passed on these it looks terrible if I could just buy the one with black gear I would but not something I need two of and the tan gear with there uniform colors looks absolutely terrible and makes no sense at all
You may do it right, but you won't have the time to do it. Unless you want to work 60 hours a week and have release date be pushed back by months. People have such high expectations but don't realize there are lots of constraints actual toy designers have to deal with.
What you're asking for is tolerance test. It's a QA process that takes months to do. You ask for a change, they ship the product over, you test, you give feedback, repeat.@@galacticmanlarry582
Hear, hear. Solid review as always, thanks!
Thanks! I’m glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Excellent review, cant wait to get them. Really like your accent and voice by the way.
Thank you for your kind words man! Hope you can get them very soon!
Whaaaat!!!! Awesome
They are! Only -not- on the neck, diaphragm and warst articulation… If you know how to, you‘ll have to cut out some plastic to allow for movement!
Great review. You made some very good points about the articulation. We shouldn't have to modify for better articulation 👍👍
Man, I just can‘t understand anymore how they keep screwinf that what should be the basics… 🙃
Great review.
Thanks, David!

...pre ordered two. Might get one more set of they become readily available. Planning to paint the tan accessories black or grey...
Almost no love for the tan accesories 😂… It’s of course a personal decision… And yes, kinda pushes into getting more sets if intending to army build…
A good, honest review of the Valkyries and their super cool accessories!
Thanks, Aaron!
@@galacticmanlarry582Hasbro shouldn't be lazy! Nonetheless, you're doing awesome work! 👍

So it is kind of squad based.

That’s a quite efficient approach, and kinda similar to mine, so: Your making the best decisions possible! 😂
(Well, seriously, I totally understand…)
Everybody seems to hate the tan gear.

I didn‘t hate them, at least so far I haven’t… But good luck with your custom!

👍👍
👌🏽
Their articulations might be limited but damn they look good. I think I will order two sets at the very least... Great unboxing and review video 👍
Thanks Wilfredo! Go for it!
nice review! you sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger! can you do some Arnold quotes in your next review haha
Man, not the first time I’ve heard that… And I’m glad, as I admired him as an artist and as a person who made his way up.
I guess we have a similar voice type, and we both speak with german accent…

I was gonna cancel my pre order but this video has me convinced its worth it.
I think they’re worth that chance… so my minus for me is the diaphragm+abdomen articulation (it is a large minus, sadly). But they are nonetheless a cool pair of figures.
Cool rewiev man keep up the good work
Thanks for the support man! More on their way!

If something comes defective, definitely asking for a replacement is the way to go. Maybe so they’ll get the message.
So excited for these I’m not even a huge GI joe guy got some of the first wave, some cobra troopers and now these
Troopers are just kinda always cool, and you can put them anywhere…

Agreed! Gray or black would look way better than tan
@@kingbennyb I think they were going for cartoon accuracy. The Cobra Trooper in the cartoon had Tan accents.
I guess they’ll at least notice: So many people are raising their voice against tan accessories! 🤣
So, there you have it, maybe it was that.
Just going to paint mine black. I thought maybe red as it would still be a better color, but I think black will just be better overall.
Wanted to see blue suit baroness.
Didn’t Even think about it, sorry, might post a pic later!
👽❤️ I want a army !!!!
Go for it!

Thanks for war ging and sharing your thoughts!
This is a nice set. I've pretty much given up on the classified series. Not going to actively hunt it. But wouldn't mind having it 😜😁
Can I ask what made you give up on the line?
has anybody tried using ritt dye on the tan accessories
I haven’t dyed anything -yet-, but would actually like to…
Cool set. Hasbro dropped the ball with the tan guns and accessories.
I guess they’ll get the message with the “tan” stuff 😂
might be able to dye it
I will paint mine. Not the end of the world.
Is the band on the upper right arm a separate piece or molded in?
It‘s a separate piece that you can easily remove.
Are those tan gears easy to remove off of her body? Because I want to airbrush all the tans stuff to black
Haven’t tríed yet, kenne check
@@galacticmanlarry582 thanks for checking :)

Absolutely hate the tan
People seem not to stand the damn tan things 😂. I haven’t felt repelled by them.
I just don't dig the yellow weapons.
Many have said so. I’m ok with them, but I understand…
Are these Pulse only? @@galacticmanlarry582
