Bro, I just opened my Heavy weapons Sleepwalker, 15 minutes ago. These figures are amazing. I’ve got 6 to open. I’m waiting for Declan on preorder. Merry Christmas.
How good are they! I gifted myself a couple more yesterday as they are 20% off at Popcultcha. I'm going to pump out some more OMF reviews this week, so watch this space. Merry Christmas to you also, sir.
You weren't lying about that extra bag of accessories were you! That's awesome, I wonder if someone somewhere got 2 tombstone stands 😂 I love this figure. Mine has a loose right butterfly but it doesn't feel like the arm is gonna fall off like the Classifieds with that issue do. Great review as usual Shark!
No lies when I internet, brother. Hahaha I wondered the same exact thing. Such a cool figure hey. I ended up getting a second one from Popcultcha with their 20% off sale so I have a stand and a figure to kitbash. Only looseness I've come across is in the torso swivel on the Night Ops fig. Could be the heat also in the collection room tho, but hard to say. Thanks for checking in, big fella.

I just orders some more including Declan.. Yes they do use way way to many reused parts and get a bit lazy about hiding them... but overall it is a goo line, though I am not sure it is always good value when what you get per figure can vary from very impressive to "that is it?!". Hopefully some of the more obscure ones will be more widely available too in time outside of BBTS.
To be fair, it is a first instalment in the line. I think the re-use is fair and not really lazy when you consider that its used for troop builders being lead by Declan. With that said, they need to mix it up moving forward with bringing in new parts and different bucks, which they surely will do. I think the value is higher with the figures like Declan and the troop builders when compared to Dracula and the Forgotten King. But again, look at the vintage Cobra Commander compared to v1 Snake Eyes.
@@SharkEyesToyView I was talking not just of the 1st wave (I don't mind the Delta Red buck and gear being made in other colour or multiple sub types of sleepwalker at all.) The reuse I squint at are things like reusing a charcter portrait from the crimson moon line in the Soldiers of Fortune line with just blonde hair. or making way to many be-suited figures in concurrent waves of releases. I also didn't like that they re-used the tactical masked helmet with the Soldier Of Fortune figures - instead of making a new figure helmet for them. If then endlessly reused the aame radio, patches and such - I likely wouldn't care, if they reuse the same hands I'd only care "a bit" - but when you are trying to promote a character as "different" in a different line - and all I see is Delta Red parts - I can't not notice... if that is in the great scheme of things good or bad - I don't know - but it is a little disappointing that the 1st 2 years of releases went quite so overboard on recognisable reuse. But then there is some sets of Trousers in Gi Joe Classified I am also sick of the sight off too.
Great review. I got my monster force figures earlier. This one is my favorite from the wave.
Cheers, Dave. He's a kick ass fig hey.

@ So, I got 3 of the heavy weapons Sleepwalkers, 2 of the black ones and one of the red Sleepwalkers. Thank you, Wifey.😛
@Paul-qw1yf Man you're winning at life haha. Enjoy them, mate.
@ You know it.
Operation Shark Eyes! 😃
Hope you've had a cracking Christmas, Jonny.
Great review again my friend
Love this wave!
Right?!? They kicked off the line with gusto.
Cool looking figure 👍👍👍👍
He sure is, mate. Well worth the price tag.
Awesome review! My favorite character/figure of the MF bunch so far. Cheers! 🍻
Old Declan is pretty cool hey.
My favorite character of the wave! Like you said, they just feel...different.
They certainly do, Blitz. I just finished another MF review. Watch this space.

@90lancaster Well yeah I can see your point more so now.
