Torch is easily my favorite of the three Dreadnok figs so far 👍🏻 Probably in part because I don't have to worry about his goddamn glasses falling off. 😂 I haven't had a lot of problems getting the hose to stay put.
Nice one, man. He's a quality figure, no question. As for the hose, I think it may need some manipulation to get it to sit how I want it, because it keeps causing the backpack to pop off.
I'm proud to say I saw Motörhead in concert some years ago and they were one of the hardest and loudest rock bands my ears have had the pleasure of enjoying.
Great look at that figure! Torch looks amazing. But his actual torch is awful. I can't find a pose it doesn't bend all up hell in. Mine's right ankle is also really flimsy, so he'll fall over in some poses with the larger effects on it.
Thanks brother. Funny you mention his torch, as I was fiddle assing around with it yesterday trying to get him to hold it with both hands (failed) and you're spot on, it is very gummy almost to a point that it feels like it's going to end up with stress fractures in the plastic.
I like Torch so now I’ve got my OG three of this group. Don’t really have the connection to the ones after the siblings in the lore but I know a lot of the collectors love them all. I don’t have any real issues with Torch as a whole. Great review of him. Still think the retro card stalker was one of the best objective reviews you’ve done but you have had many fair and objective reviews but that one still comes to mind. Have a great one brother!
Yeah Sabir, they did a banger job with this figure. As for Stalker, yeah it's just a shame that they didn't kit him out better. At least give us one more accessory (laser rifle) or a set of punching hands, ESPECIALLY considering the head sculpt wasn't really altered. Thanks for the kind words, glad you're enjoying the content, mate.
@@SharkEyesToyView you’re most welcome Shark Eyes! Yea really the Eel Retro of this upcoming wave. You couldn’t really see a more than small cosmetic change between the one out and the one coming later this year. Head sculpt wise Stalker should have for the retro card Duke treatment as you outlined. They even gave Duke a new head sculpt when the OG one was fine. Torch., chefs kiss on Torch for me. Not retro loadout but I’m not as much a o-ring in classified purist as many are with some of the loadout stuff but when it’s Retro that’s another story entirely. Agree Sgt stalker should have had the same loadout as Duke and Scarlett got in their retro card release at a minimum Enjoy!
Enjoyed the review! I forgot that Torch was an Aussie. I was worried that he would not stand with large blast effects in place. If there was one thing I’d change is the shades. I would prefer non-removable but clear/color tinted.
He sure is one of ours haha. Yep he stands really well with the flame FX and they don't droop which is fantastic. The shades definitely is a minor disappointment, but at least they aren't problematic like his friend Buzzer's are.
Yeah, I don’t know what Hasbro was thinking when they chose those weak glasses for Buzzer. I kit-bash using Mutt’s goggles (the smaller one not meant for the helmet). Does not look bad!
If you were to assign a song to let’s say introduce Dreadnoks Torch, Buzzer, and Ripper, which songs would you choose? I’d go with the classic “Born to be Wild” for Torch. I’d have to think about the other two. 🤔
I LOVE these kinds of questions. Born to be Wild is a good choice, I'd also go with George Thoroughgood's Bad to the Bone. Is there a rock version of The 3 Stooges music lol
good review bro I passed on the dreads... and guess what, I m thinking about it now... to just get the og 3 guys, more to fight the punisher on my bar dio the ramen van would suit them well. it s just that destro s army and reg cobra troops devastate my finances... 30 figs, and I just received my 2 snow serpents last Friday... now I have to find 2 eels. torch wow, he s better than ever! he s exactly like my 80s one, which makes me think... just what will they do with retro for those guys? they ARE retro! duh. my fav era was Zartan and only these 3 guys, yeah the cartoons - comics, but even just as a gang. they were designed... SOLID! I really appreciate to see the comparison of 'the three amigos' ha, ha the poses and the ferret demo, kudos! news I preo a stinger from g stop, $140 + tax Can ouch! but I ll have one... I ll expand my urban bar dio, and have plenty of space to do great scenes with it so now you know... God bless America and world peace! good show bro
Hey Frank, yeah the Noks are a must have as far as I'm concerned and they did a killer job with Torch. You male a salient point once again, doing a retro of any of them will present the same issues I've had with Stalker me thinks. We shall see... Keep on rockin, man.
I find it weird that you got Jinx, Nightcreeper and Doc 2 weeks before Gamestop got it in the U.S.. Yet we got Torch at the same time we got the others. And you guys got Torch like 3 weeks after us lol.
Yessir, hence why I often refer to collecting these figures as Hasbro Roullete. A recent perfect example is the Stinger releasing in Canada. At this point, I believe Hasbro does it deliberately to create hype online to sell their products.
@@SharkEyesToyView Yeah, I can see that. Fomo is really what is keeping this line relevant to the point waves and figures get sold out. As soon as they hit the stores.
Mans has on them Elle magazine type boots. 😂
Hahahaha Torch clearly raided the wardrobe in Mindbender's S&M dungeon.
😂😂😂@@SharkEyesToyView
Rick James boots 😆. Great review bro 👊
CHARLIE MURPHY! Appreciate ya, brother.

That's what she said.
@@Shariffsmokeleaf 😄
He looks like Lemmy Kilmister 😂
I'm proud to say I saw Motörhead in concert some years ago and they were one of the hardest and loudest rock bands my ears have had the pleasure of enjoying.
@@SharkEyesToyViewHe's still alive?
@@Shariffsmokeleaf No Lemmy passed a few years back.
Thank you for another great video. I love my torch figure. Keep em crackin! Yo Joe!!

Enjoy!
Great review.
Thanks for tuning in and the kind words, Dave.
At the moment I like what they have done with the hands. But, time will tell how well they hold up compared to the other hands.
Enjoyed the review! I forgot that Torch was an Aussie. I was worried that he would not stand with large blast effects in place. If there was one thing I’d change is the shades. I would prefer non-removable but clear/color tinted.

Yeah, I don’t know what Hasbro was thinking when they chose those weak glasses for Buzzer. I kit-bash using Mutt’s goggles (the smaller one not meant for the helmet). Does not look bad!
My guess, manufacturing error when they cast the head sculpt. He needed bigger damn ears for those flimsy ass things.
Torch is my favorite dreadnought, until i get my Road Pig later this week 😁

Bad to the Bone definitely comes to mind. A rock version of the 3 Stooges theme would be epic! Lol
good review bro
I passed on the dreads... and guess what, I m thinking about it now...
to just get the og 3 guys, more to fight the punisher on my bar dio
the ramen van would suit them well.
it s just that destro s army and reg cobra troops devastate my finances...
30 figs, and I just received my 2 snow serpents last Friday...
now I have to find 2 eels.
torch
wow, he s better than ever! he s exactly like my 80s one, which makes me think...
just what will they do with retro for those guys? they ARE retro! duh.
my fav era was Zartan and only these 3 guys, yeah the cartoons - comics, but even just as a gang.
they were designed... SOLID!
I really appreciate to see the comparison of 'the three amigos' ha, ha
the poses and the ferret demo, kudos!
news
I preo a stinger from g stop, $140 + tax Can ouch!
but I ll have one... I ll expand my urban bar dio, and have plenty of space to do great scenes with it
so now you know...
God bless America and world peace!
good show bro

Keep on rockin, man.
please review retro cobra commander (the new one)
Hey Venom, or should I call you Eddie? When I get my hands on him (which I have a feeling might be pretty soon), you'll see it here. Watch this space.
Why are his sunglasses red instead of black?
That is one question I cannot truthfully answer. I'm guessing maybe just an update to give it a splash of color.
My Torch has purple sunglasses
It's a quality figure in my opinion. Maybe a tattoo wouldve been cool.
He is and he has the flame tattoos but some more ink wouldn't have gone astray.
Its a nice looking figure but would be better with more tattoos and removable glasses...
I agree. I think the denim flame patches are hokey, should have gone with more ink over that.
