Yeah, I was trippin' when I found out that the NIGHT-CREEPER's swords had real life equivalents. That Moro kris sword is definitely something that you don't want to get cut or stabbed with.
Even the sword with the barbs is based on a real sword. Seven-Branched Sword, or _Chiljido_ is a ceremonial sword that is believed to be a gift from the king of Baekje to a Yamato ruler.
Night Creeper were my favorite G.I. Joe ninjas. Their Weapons are based on real weapons from Southeast Asia. Mainly weapons used by ancient Indonesian, Filipino and Malaysian weapons.
Oh for sure grab him. Hopefully the little issues I faced with the backpack were just factory QC garbage, but I'm also not entirely confident on that front either.
I believe the daggers are meant to be reversed gripped, held so the blades come down for a "hook" effect into their enemies, not thrown. BUT.. its a toy.. so do whatever floats your boat, but I cant remember their names. Meant for up close combat and "hooking and slicing" into an enemy.
Good review on this one too, I’ve not ordered this one as it didn’t land with me. The aesthetic didn’t do it for me and this was really outside of my window of Joe collecting from a historical perspective. It seems like a cheaper look figure vs the Doc figure I’ve seen you review or any of the prior wave Joe’s I’ve got recently. Also agree with the comment made that stated the first few waves seem overall to have had a better quality buck and accessories. Couldn’t agree more there: Yo Joe
Thanks my man. It's only worth collecting what you like and brings you joy, brother. Right? That's just the entire first impression I got. I don't want to say it's lazy, but I can't help but wonder if majority of the budget for it went into the tooling for the new accessories and extra head.
@@SharkEyesToyView I’d have to agree entirely with that sentiment too regarding this particular figure. It’s not a bad figure by any means though if wasn’t my type of figure to collect, it’s not bad but you do make some great observations about this one in the quality department by contrast to the others in that same wave, brother.
I loved this figure, but I must say that the crossbow were a bit...sloppy looking is the best word I can come up with. Great review and thanks from a new subscriber 👍
Hey there, thanks for checking it out. Yeah it is sloppy in some regards. They could have designed it to plug into a recess in the backpack using the handles. Why they didn't, who knows.
Thanks for the review! I'm wondering how this guy will look with the slightly shorter action gimmick Night Creeper figure they released a few years back? I'll confess, those figures didn't look too bad and had no issues standing.
Classified series has made figures I didn't have or even interested in as a kid, top notch and wanted as an adult. I thought the design was a bit off and the swords were tacky when I was young. Now I love this guy and looking forward to when he ships in the U.S. (Though I'm still not a fan of the Night Creeper 2 head and swords are still a little tacky) Thanks for the review.
That's awesome to read. It's funny how that happens, because in a way I'm a bit all over the place. On one hand, I like design changes with some figures (see: Snow Job) where they improve upon a classic. On the other hand, I really want to see more new characters (Mole Rat) hit the line. There's been a couple of figures I never had as a kid that I've grabbed and I'm kind of 'meh' about them. Bazooka for example.
good review bro yes, the sound is better now, thanks ah, he looks better than expected for me, the sculpt is great! but I never liked the colour scheme, and no big Cobra logo... this is one instance where a crimson colour would surely tempt me way more but still, add the dam logo, it looks way better I love the 2 nd head for reasons, you choose your fav, ok but... you can also specialise now... some may have other weapons. the pose management many do the poses off camera, but since it s hard for you, you could use the plates, it s ok and it s not like it s easy for me either, those are hard difficulty level - pro - art and art takes time, and those are very stiff fresh out of package when you do the video... eh, the warm up should be you, loosing the joints by posing for hours... in theory, this is your ultimate figure, the one you sleep with, always dreamed of so you ll pose it like crazy, of course, except, not you who buys many, eh. we tend to forget details like that, thinking only about the next one.... I like to see you try, and you actually come up with cool fighting stances in the process, and also show the specific limitations of this guy ah yeah! ouh, this looks great bro, wow! comparison pays already, so much cooler as addition! your observations are correct, and good, just, it s more weight, it can t be helped my best trick is to work the ankles while they stand, it warms up and take a fix also, sometimes, you re better posing with.... 2 figures! yeah, touching and holding by gravity so now you know? better! mm, I ll check other reviews for sure about that back grip bro disappointing, sure, a rubber band will fix this, but... it should nt be like that because you do a pro review mostly, I understand your good intuition to 'lighten up' the atmosphere in humour, I d suggest a civilian silent host for fun you have guys in suits in the back, or any lady would do comparison, yes, but also maybe a pose reaction to the types dreadnok - lady runs Joes lady accompany, or is saved, ect, just a surprise signature, D so now you know... great show bro
@@SharkEyesToyView well, you make it a joy to help, I can t wait to see your next show now... ha, ha will it be about posing? or will it be something never done before.... you re in control of the magic, thanks bro
Thanks, man. It was a bit of an effort this one. Simply because I wanted to go over all the looks and also dealing with some of the issues I encountered.
I think the classified line has over all gotten cheap compared to the older figures in the line but it’s more popular now and they are pumping out a lot more figures so 🤷🏻 great review! night creeper is a pass for me I’m more of a 82-88 guy with a few exceptions (him not being one of them lol)
Thx for the kind words. It definitely all comes down to money. You can see it with each figure release, the reuse and overall quality. Hasbro is making money hand over fist with this line, wouldn't it be nice if it reflected in EVERY release.
Those posts for the crossbow on the backpack really do look bent. Very weird. Wonder if they're all like that, or if you just got one with a defect? Haven't gotten this one in yet, so I can't compare mine to yours.
Matthew I really wanted to love this release. Perhaps it was a QC dud? Hard to say, but I just hope it's not a line plagued issue with that backpack because that's gonna suck for a whole lotta peeps.
i wanted this so bad n i ordered three but now i dont want any! why does he have those retahded knives anyway lame to add those needlessly n fk the whole damn thing up ...way to go hasboogers. also couldnt you just upsize the modern one?!!! like the sucess was already right there for ya...hey teachable moment... stop reinventing shit!

Those daggers are called fuk around and find out 😂😂😂😂😂
Lol you're not wrong, GT.
Great review brother. Man I’m so stoked for this figure to drop. Gonna start with 5 and go from there.
Thanks, mate. Maybe start with two. Not saying how to spend your money, but just to be safe.
@@SharkEyesToyView absolutely I never get more than one to start with then I go crazy
@SameTimeToys That's the wise man collector move right there.
Very excited for this figure. When I was younger I thought he was another version of Snake Eyes.🙃
Thank you for the review.
I hope he meets your expectations then and you're most welcome.
I'm sorry I didn't know it was you in the chat. HUGE FAN. Keep it up. Subbed now.
Oh man, no need for apologies at all. Good chatting with you and thanks for the kind words.
Night Kreeper is a South East Asian ninja. Most of the weapons are Kriss-based and Kerambit.
Yeah, I was trippin' when I found out that the NIGHT-CREEPER's swords had real life equivalents. That Moro kris sword is definitely something that you don't want to get cut or stabbed with.
Thank you for the intel on NC, very cool and interesting!
Even the sword with the barbs is based on a real sword. Seven-Branched Sword, or _Chiljido_ is a ceremonial sword that is believed to be a gift from the king of Baekje to a Yamato ruler.
The more you know. Thanks for sharing and checking out the vid.
Any edged weapon that veers away from a straight blade, is going to bring you a world of hurt.
love your reviews. I do have a request... could you show the neck peg on all of the figures you review? it would be very helpful to me!
Hi Bryan, I can try to do that for you.
Another classified figure that will need sticky tack😊... Great unboxing and review video,mate👍
NGL it definitely would help or a stand even. Thanks, mate. I tried to keep it short, but it was no easy feat this one.
It would be cool to see a bit of photography with the figures. Thanks for the preview!
Hi, thanks for chiming in and checking it out. What kind of pics would you suggest?
I may never be able to listen to Night Fever ever again. Thank you.
Hahahaha you're welcome.
Night Creeper were my favorite G.I. Joe ninjas. Their Weapons are based on real weapons from Southeast Asia. Mainly weapons used by ancient Indonesian, Filipino and Malaysian weapons.
Such a classic hey! Thanks for the intel, I never knew that's where the original inspiration came from. Knowing is half the battle.
I enjoyed the review 👍👍👍👍🍤🥤🍕
Thx for checking it out, Shawn
Gotta get him regardless had him as a kid and the nostalgia is there
Same
Oh for sure grab him. Hopefully the little issues I faced with the backpack were just factory QC garbage, but I'm also not entirely confident on that front either.
This is how they get us haha
That cross bow will go great with nawgahide
Hahaha, best part of the video was the beegee's cover! lol... just kidding, amazing review! Greetings from Sao Paulo, Brazil
HA! I'd had it in my head all day, couldn't resist. Greetings from Melbourne, Australia.
A first-rate review of Night-Creeper and his cool accessories!
Thanks for watching, Aaron.
@@SharkEyesToyView Awesome work! 👍

We nee Pale Peony and Retro Vypra to join the cobra ninja ranks.
I make some custom figures of characters that haven’t been produced yet. I had forgotten about Pale Peony so thanks for the reminder.

Hey there, thanks for checking it out. Yeah it is sloppy in some regards. They could have designed it to plug into a recess in the backpack using the handles. Why they didn't, who knows.
Thought it was Jimmy Barnes singing in the beginning, quite impressive 😂. His chest armor plates look like a metal bra, but I’m still getting one.
Hahaha old Jimmy is still performing believe it or not. Yeah they aren't as nice as I'd like them to be.
Ha he said clansmen lol . Good review
Hahaha well that term doesn't always have a negative connotation.
@@SharkEyesToyView yeah I know bro just busting ur balls . But seriously enjoyed the review !!! ✌🏽 out
Lol oh fo' sure. Gotta have some chuckles when it comes to this stuff. Appreciate the kind words, man.
Thanks for the review! I'm wondering how this guy will look with the slightly shorter action gimmick Night Creeper figure they released a few years back? I'll confess, those figures didn't look too bad and had no issues standing.
Good question. That was such an odd release. They did very little else like it and they weren't even in the (very poor) film lol

Great review!! I like how they skimped on the camo print on the sides of the legs instead of a nice solid all around camo. Ridiculous!!!
I didn't touch on that, but it was apparent. I guess less is more approach may have been taken perhaps?
Great review. I never had the original. It looks great but it is disappointing to see the figure falling down and the accessories easily falling off.
The original was and still is a cool vintage figure. As for this release, one would think these sort of issues wouldn't persist, but here we are.
good review bro
yes, the sound is better now, thanks
ah, he looks better than expected for me, the sculpt is great!
but I never liked the colour scheme, and no big Cobra logo...
this is one instance where a crimson colour would surely tempt me way more
but still, add the dam logo, it looks way better
I love the 2 nd head for reasons, you choose your fav, ok
but... you can also specialise now... some may have other weapons.
the pose management
many do the poses off camera, but since it s hard for you, you could use the plates, it s ok
and it s not like it s easy for me either, those are hard difficulty level - pro - art
and art takes time, and those are very stiff fresh out of package
when you do the video... eh, the warm up should be you, loosing the joints by posing for hours...
in theory, this is your ultimate figure, the one you sleep with, always dreamed of
so you ll pose it like crazy, of course, except, not you who buys many, eh.
we tend to forget details like that, thinking only about the next one....
I like to see you try, and you actually come up with cool fighting stances in the process,
and also show the specific limitations of this guy
ah yeah! ouh, this looks great bro, wow!
comparison pays already, so much cooler as addition!
your observations are correct, and good, just, it s more weight, it can t be helped
my best trick is to work the ankles while they stand, it warms up and take a fix
also, sometimes, you re better posing with.... 2 figures! yeah, touching and holding by gravity
so now you know? better!
mm, I ll check other reviews for sure about that back grip bro
disappointing, sure, a rubber band will fix this, but... it should nt be like that
because you do a pro review mostly, I understand your good intuition to 'lighten up'
the atmosphere in humour, I d suggest a civilian silent host for fun
you have guys in suits in the back, or any lady would do
comparison, yes, but also maybe a pose reaction to the types
dreadnok - lady runs Joes lady accompany, or is saved, ect, just a surprise signature, D
so now you know...
great show bro
Again, you bring some valid points and solid tips to the table. Thank you, friend.
@@SharkEyesToyView well, you make it a joy to help, I can t wait to see your next show now... ha, ha will it be about posing? or will it be something never done before.... you re in control of the magic, thanks bro
The left shelf for the cross bow on the back pack is warped down
Yep, sure is. I pointed it out late in the video.
YAAAAS, 1st post!
Another awesome review, Brother. I really love the old school vibe of this one. Plus, smart move including that v2 head.
Thanks, man. It was a bit of an effort this one. Simply because I wanted to go over all the looks and also dealing with some of the issues I encountered.

Yep! Could be a one off defect and maybe even some heat may rectify it. Either way, it shouldn't happen as frequently as it does.
@@SharkEyesToyView Hasbro uses the cheapest plastics they can get away with on these figures so it's not surprising at all, really. Sad to see though.
You are not wrong, sir.
"Charlie Murphy!"
"Plastic Crack addicts"
I do need help......
Financing my addiction 👍🏿🍻
Don't we all!
Cutting the rug brother with some b gees lol
Lol it seemed appropriate.
Plastic crack addicts… spot on 😂 we’re not getting these in the US until August bro
Haha we all need help. Do they have rehab for toy collectors? As for the release date, you never know they may pop up sooner.
My only disappointment in this figure is the actual color of the pants. It just seems very drab. This may be the first one I pass on…
Definitely light on in the camo app department.
Disappointing. Gatta get those pauldrons off. Need to find a way to have a crunch. Bummer. I wanted night creepers…
Matthew I really wanted to love this release. Perhaps it was a QC dud? Hard to say, but I just hope it's not a line plagued issue with that backpack because that's gonna suck for a whole lotta peeps.
The knives look like Kerambits
Hasbro seemed to really like purple during this era of the original line.
i wanted this so bad n i ordered three but now i dont want any! why does he have those retahded knives anyway lame to add those needlessly n fk the whole damn thing up ...way to go hasboogers. also couldnt you just upsize the modern one?!!! like the sucess was already right there for ya...hey teachable moment... stop reinventing shit!
Look it could be a case of me catching a dodgy one, so maybe just play the waiting game.
