All female figs in the line should have the same size neck ball joint. Baroness, Zarana, Scarlett, and Lady Jaye all have disguise as they main specialty so swapping heads is super important for story telling. I'm shocked that they would not even make Baroness swappable with her previous versions. Super disappointing.
Swap ability and universal neck pegs would be huge!! They know we like to customize help us out a bit. They would sell even more figs
Super disappointed about the Baroness heads not being interchangeable. Had things all planned out to use more of these heads on the older figures, guess not.
Personally I'm thrilled to have these. The Joecon Crimson sets were on my want lists for so long and I never ended up getting any. So here now I can. I've always preferred the twins in Crimson so I'm in the opposite boat. I don't need the originals now really. I'll keep them but this is my preferred look.
Well then you are going to love this set so it’s perfect for you. If you want to use the heads on the previous bodies I’d suggest modding the neck pegs rather than the heads.
I was wondering if I could swap the heads of my baroness figures I have the three released in the 6 in at this point. That is disappointing to learn that it’s locked into one iteration of her
Would've loved if the Crimson twins came with an "angry/shouting" face sculpt for this three-pack. Also love the packaging/art as well. Thanks for the review!
Yes this all day! They had everything ready an added sculpt for the twins would solidify the cost for me
They look really good. Thank you for sharing!
I was thinking same thing about the heads not being interchangeable. I ordered these. They still look great. Waiting on mine to still come in. Still excited to get these
I hope this doesn’t spoil you’re excitement I just wanted to share for anyone on the fence
The figures look good. Improved arms for the Baroness. I like the colour scheme and she has extra heads.
I'd be happy to get stands with all action figures. They help for action poses/ running that are otherwise unstable.
Great review.
Thanks so much! Yes for the action poses stands make sense. There’s some smaller ones out there that I like better. I’ll find where I got them and share
@@BaldyLockz thanks.👍
A candid, phenomenal comparison/review video!
Thank you so much!
@@BaldyLockz Awesome work! 👍
I personally love the Crimson scheme, so I didn’t think twice when I pre-ordered this. I’d have rather them release just Baroness as a deluxe figure, but they wouldn’t be able to sell those Tomax and Xamot repaints on their own for sure.
Great review/breakdown!
I agree. I bet we get another Baroness with this mold in the Cobra Blue scheme. I think the Twins would’ve sold alone but a second head sculpt for both would’ve been better
Cheers to Jason! Now they're going to make a Crimson Jason! With a maple leaf eh?
Haha that would be amazing. Jay is a really nice guy.
Got that bad boy 3 weeks ago at game stop in Canada. I been enjoying em & the boX looks fuckin dope AF! Jus waiting on alley viper to complete the 40 man crimson blood army, gonna look sweet along side the HISS baybee! 👊🏽 good job baldy 👍🏽
Yeah it’s a great set just a tad high in price. The presentation is really well done. I have an Alley Viper inbound.
@@BaldyLockz 👍🏽 look forward to seeing the review
I agree with most everything you said, good review. That being said, I still ordered it and I have a few Crimson Vipers ready to go.
Well you’re going to like it for sure
I like the Crimson subset. Just need Crimson Alley Viper to round out my Cobra coup. Mine is shipping from the Pulse preorder. Should be here tomorrow.
Awesome you’re going to enjoy it
Universal neck peg, seems simple. This was such a good review, balanced, made great points both good and bad. I ordered the set, it should be on the way soon since it just charged.
Thank you and I think you’ll enjoy the set. I would love to have seen a cheaper price point but the presentation will win most people over
I got my confirmation email the other day from Pulse for this, so hopefully I’ll have it pretty soon. Going to put my Pimp Daddy Destro with this set. And yeah, the price kinda hurt my bank account, but overall, the set looks great
I have to look - havent gotten mine yet - this looks amazing
So, I actually had Pimp Daddy ready to go to add as a comparison and…totally overlooked it when making the video. He will go great with this set
I have the Crimson Viper. The 3pack I just got charged for them. Hopefully they won't have any issues. Tunnel Rat, FireFly, Low-Light all have QC problems.
Damn. Yeah the only thing I saw off was the blush but I’m hoping I can fix it
Hopefully this is the end of all this Crimson whatever. Great review - your shout-out will be up tomoorow, sir!
I wouldn't count on there being no more Crimson. ;) There was a Crimson Destro in 2009. They could also re-issue the Crimson Guard with a new headsculpt and call them the Crimson Guard Immortals. :)
Hey man! Awesome! I hope you’re enjoying Big Ben!
I’m not buying the grounded!! I bet you were off hanging out with those Golden Girls in Miami! Good to see you though! I should get my set in the next week from Pulse. I agree on the $$… too much… but convention piece so it’s sadly expected. This is 2 years in a row that SDCC & Pulse Con pieces compliment each other! (I wonder what’s next? Armored COCO & son?)
Great review! Welcome back & keep them coming!
Thank you so much and thanks for sticking around
I’m really do love them Golden Girls. I may make a video to review my set
Would like to correct you, this is actually the "3rd shot" of the Crimson Strike Team when a remake of the set in 25th anniversary sculpt had been released in 2009 at their annual GIJoe Convention.
Yes they did. I realized that when I was pulling pics of the 2002 and forgot to re-record that spot. Rookie mistake
RIght now 50$ on pulse, nice review. " she is gunna kill somebody"🤣
Down to $50…wow…I may need another set haha
@@BaldyLockz I had a friend that used to leave budda statues around school, maybe we could do that with tomax and xamot's ?
That would be fun
Welcome back
Thanks so much. I will do my best to keep things more timely
@BaldyLockz no rush. No reason to try and burn yourself out. Keep up the great work
I dated a girl that resembled the Baroness. Evil too
Haha nice. The hot ones always are
It is disappointing that Hasbro is using our love for the updated Baroness to gouge our wallets. However, if the figures are $25 a piece, you're already looking at a $75 base price. So really you're paying $15 for the elaborate box. Did we need the elaborate box? Probably not, but I get why it's at that price range. That said, I am looking forward to a double-jointed, bicep-cut, Baroness. :)
She is worth her price for sure, the updated scar on Xamot. But with the twins at clearance you could buy them and paint them for less
I hear ya BUT that's a slick box
I had two grey kittens who were brothers , one white right foot , the other white left foot . So how could I not name them Tomax and Zamot ! It was too perfect not to ! My Cobra cats .
That’s amazing. I love that. It would be cool if YT allowed photo comments so I could see them
@@BaldyLockz I know right ! Unfortunately I dont have either cat anymore . Xamot ran away and Tomax has since passed away . But I still have some pictures . I still have dreams about those cats sometimes . I loved them so much .
Twins should have come in suits with crimson accents for this price
Totally agree
great review!
Glad you enjoyed it
Why do Tomax and Xamot look like Mat Pat from Game Theory in the artwork lol
Haha
I had baroness painted red right away
Nice! I’m not great at painting haha
I'm on the fence ..... I agree with everything you said in the vid but aside from wanting the Baroness do I need this at that price....??
The Baroness alone is looking like a deluxe but I suppose the box art justifies the price. Idk but as always nice review✨✨✨✨
Thanks so much! It’s a fine line to walk and not tell people how to spend. I think most that but this set will be very happy but I would love for Hasbro to really review the offering and drop the price from the get go. Wishful thinking. Enjoy once in hand
Not worth buying it just for the Baroness which is the only figure I'm interested in due to it being her crimson suit and has updated articulation. So yeah i cancelled this one and it shipped sooner than expected. I know hasbro will eventually give us repaints with that mold eventually
Oh yeah they’ll probably release her in a blue
I justified my purchase because I was going to use the other heads with the retro and Cobra Island baroness (especially since my CI Baroness looks wonky) but it's a huge disappointment the heads won't swap. If mine wasn't already on the way I would have cancelled. Not cool hasbro, especially since the twins have nothing new. Super lame.
You could always mod the pegs to be interchangeable. There’s cheap ones on eBay and Etsy
@@BaldyLockz Thanks very much! I'll check that out 😁👍
17:07 now *_that_* is a disappointment. I recall the origins baroness had a different neck peg (or maybe it was a significantly longer neck 🤔). Got an email alert yesterday that pulse was charging my account for that set, so I guess it's only a matter of time before it arrives.
Literally bought that fortnite red cat figure yesterday from Ross and left two sets of crimson twins behind. I like your customs of the twins, leaving the shoulders grey. Already got extra twins to put on suit bucks, but maybe other creative color choices to custom paint might be worth picking up more... just finding the time and skill to do so are entirely different issues.
What suited figure are you using? I wanted to do the same with my twins…
@@moclaudio3588I picked up 2 Jigsaw Walgreens exclusive figures. Most other ML suited figures are too skinny except Jigsaw. This matters because the Twins are actually pretty jacked and have a lot of muscles popping out.
Thank you. I used Professor X for my twins. A tad too skinny and I thought Hammerhead was a tad too big. We need an in between. Finding the time is the key for sure.
@BaldyLockz about a yeat ago I got a couple of the ML hammerhead on cardback, but unfortunately its peg was too big for a twin head, I also got a couple of basic miz figs, but those have limited articulation. The agent Ross, like that Xavier, seems too small a build for the twins. Odd that now the store *_Ross_* Dress for Less has the crimson twins and the ML carded hammerhead figs for $5.99 each. Maybe shaving down the hammerhead neck peg is the better of solution options.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So you're saying that neither heads will fit into the Cobra Island body?
Sadly no. My suggestion would be to modify the neck peg on the retro version. There’s 3D options out there
Is the skin tone the same on the twins (crimson and regular release)?
No, the tone is different. Minimal but enough to notice. The hair color is more of a matte finish as well.
when they *HASBRO* rips my python patrol suits off ( hisstank posted) im gonna be furious ...
the one thing im glad i did THAT hasbro wont ( is add lights to Serpentors Air chariot )
I want to see that
jump to hisstank , its in the customized section @@BaldyLockz
I’m jealous
Don’t be. Hopefully there’s a sale and you grab one then. Great set just a tad high
@@BaldyLockz man with this damn tumor the treatments and meds cost an arm and a leg. I’m trying to find fodder to just make my own. You wouldn’t think 20-30$ makes a difference but it does.
Oh I know trust me. Hang in there you've got this.
I was so excited for the crimson viper, but that might be my least favorite figure
Much better in hand than I expected but I’m all about the Classic/Cobra Island scheme for the Viper
Can you hug me?
Umm, yes. Please PM me your number ;)
Bad lighting and the camera is too blurry. Unwatchable.
Thank you. It was a new set up and I didn’t like it much either but I was too deep. Will work on those 2 things
Objectively, the set is slightly overpriced. But, the 2002 JoeCon was the first I went to, so I've got a heavy emotional connection to the Crimson Strike Team Set. I pre-ordered this set as soon as it went up, and it looks like I will enjoy it. Right now I'm at 3 Crimson Vipers, and over the next couple of years I do plan to get a full compliment of 12.
Yes, the connection is the most important part when grabbing these figs so I’m glad you have that and you’ll really enjoy this set. And I would keep my eyes open. I bet you’ll be able to grab the Crimson Vipers on some sort of crazy sale in the coming weeks. Good luck!
