😂 No...just audio technical issues as usual. At least nothing fell over or hit the floor this time. I think if Hasbro Pulse was going to try and shut me down they'd have done it before now 😆
You’re from the land of big belt buckles lol … I’m dying !!! you’re right they actually made raptor cool, I can’t wait to see what they do with Crystal Ball !!! Great review as always DS very informative and detail oriented. Keep up the good work ✌🏽
Thanks Woody! I'm pleasantly surprised with the way Raptor turned out. Crystal Ball is another one I didn't care for and can't wait to see what they do with it. Thanks for checking out the video dude. This one didn't turn out well lol.
Wasn’t going to get Raptor for all the reasons you stated about the ARAH line. He was one I never got as a kid because he didn’t make sense to me! It seeing this review he is now in my Hasbro Pulse cart! Great review and insight. Ty
I thought the review was fine. The wireless mic doesn't sound as good as the wired one. So, for me, the second half was better than the first! I like him, but he is goofy as hell! And like yours, mine was always in the toybox! What the hell were we supposed to do with him back then?! I wonder if some kids used him as their main guy. Who in the world had Raptor being the bad ass? Oh, and giving him a better bird would've helped this figure quite a bit IMO. General Ledger? An inside joke for sure...
Thanks cuz. Still trying to find the best way to place the lavalier. But yeah, hearing it then going RIGHT back to the wired one is jarring. The bird is pretty much an afterthought. Wondering why the didn't call him something more updated. Spreadsheet? Excel? 😂
The wings are cool, the cowl is cool, but it's not enough to make this goofball character cool enough to add to my collection. I needed more realistic organic wings for Raptor, and extended wings and perch for Ledger. That chest tattoo doesn't feel like a good fit either. Solid attempt though. It will look hilarious flying next to the Rattler though. I expect this will warm shelves and be discounted quickly.
You might be correct. I can definitely see this one sitting because...bird guy. I'm the opposite on the wings. I like the more modern approach to them. Makes this clown at least halfway believable that he can actually fly. I didn't think about him flying beside the Rattler...that's going to be funny. By the time the Rattler gets here he'll probably be a the back of everyone's shelf or in the storage container! General Ledger really feels like an afterthought though. I wish at least his head turned, and you're right, having just a little perch stand would've made the presentation a lot better. But overall, I really do like him. The weird kinda works here where I never thought it did back then. Thanks for watching this trainwreck of a video !
😂I love it!! “Goofball character” I had the same sentiment of both he and road piggy for that matter. I get it Piggy is a goon and part of the Nocks clan but I wasn’t big on the extended roster Nocks beyond pirate man and the siblings I ended up caving due to target running a few discounts that were use it out loose it discounts so I bought them for ~56 combined, yesterday at target. I’ll probably hear these were on sale for 80% lower by mid December or shortly before Thanksgiving lol Raptor I’m not big on the tats for him and I think the prop around his human face is kinda overkill given the boots and gloves aesthetic and that head piece.

I'm not really sure how I feel about this character, to be honest. I had him when I was a kid, but he always seemed a bit... odd. I got mine about a week ago, and it actually took me three days just to get him out of the packaging. The wings feel too small, and the claws don’t even fit him properly. the figure itself is kind of cool almost wish he had another helmet of somekind
I never like the character or the original figure. But I love this update. You think the wings are too small? They're a foot long ! I think the only real misses with him are the claws, and General Ledger is pretty unimpressive.
I’ve still not took my stingers out the box 🤦🏾♂️ nor retro coco or one a man version for that matter. I never had him nor road piggy before but Target gave a respectable promotion and discount and I got a decent deal for both ~56.00 one of them was just 10 shy of that cost already I know he’ll be 18.99 at amzn before Thanksgiving and def before Christmas and piggy for about 24 around the same time this year lol
@@Sabir_DelNorte ive also cut back and buying right out of the gate and waiting i picked up almost 300 dollars in figs from ollies this week and it only cost me 80 bucks and the people there were telling me they would be ramping up for xmas the first week of november
@@Warchestfulloftoys 😳 300 dollars worth for only 80?!?! That’s more than a deal! Congratulations on that goldmine. If we had those in or near to NYC that wasn’t an hour or more commute I’d resort to that option myself. Awesome stuff man 👍🏽
Great review. It took me a few days(waiting for both to show up in stock for available to ship), but I was able to get Raptor and Road Pig through the target sale online. I should get Raptor over the weekend. He looks so much better than the o-ring version. I’m excited to get him. I only wish they did more with the bird considering it is a deluxe figure. Either give a second one with wings extended or have the interchangeable wings like freedom.
I agree. General Ledger feels like an afterthought. Consider what they did with Freedom it seems like they could've just scaled him down a bit. Or just given Freedom with MM Spirit and saved repainting him for Raptor. Thanks for checking out the review!
Vulture's wings are bigger, and have flimsy open-faced hinges which makes it easy for them to kinda come apart if you move 'em too much. Raptor's wing apparatus is much better. But this Raptor needed to have much better neck articulation; otherwise I love him.
I was like what just happened to this review 😂 I was like yo pulse took my mans off the air for clownin bird man 🤣
“If he goes over he’s taking everything with him” 😂 that man ain’t going down alone he said 😂
😂 No...just audio technical issues as usual. At least nothing fell over or hit the floor this time. I think if Hasbro Pulse was going to try and shut me down they'd have done it before now 😆
The wings are huge. He's definitely going to clear out everything if he falls. Maybe I should put the figures I don't love around him!
@@DownSouthSeven7 😆 mine arrived sometime today so I’ll get to check out the bird man and piggy arrives today too
@@Sabir_DelNorte Road Pig is badass.
I still remember seeing him in the comic first and being like "wtf is this dude?!?!" LOL
Yeah, I saw him on a different figures' cardback and thought the exact same thing!
Haha its all a learning process mate, good on you for not falling apart! I do like this figure but i'll wait for a sale I reckon. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks man. Oh I fell apart but none of it was on camera. Since I'd ya know, already finished recording it before I knew it didn't have sound 🙄😂

I love the wings, definitely an improvement over the OG figure! 🦅
For sure!

Yeah the neck definitely needed the new piece. Why would they NOT put it in a figure that's whole gimmick requires looking down half of the time?!
@@DownSouthSeven7 I'm sayin'! He has like the LEAST neck articulation of any figure, when he needed the MOST lol
Great job buddy but I liked him because he flew in my head like he had a jump pack, and I had a thing for J U M P packs lol
Thanks man! Whoa someone who did like the original!!
@@DownSouthSeven7 anyone that could fly was a winner in my book
Heheh….i love the struggle of explaining how this figure is so hard to respect, but gets it now. Everyone is struggling differently.
The struggle is real.
I liked him as a kid!!
Ok, So there was 2 of you 😆
