The price is ridiculous, but the figure looks good. People need to watch some reviews and see both the level of quality and number of well-made accessories Valaverse's Action Force line is giving us for like four more dollars per figure. Thanks for calling BS on this being a "deluxe" figure. I ordered it, but at these prices Hasbro is going to seriously have to step up their game if they ever want to bounce back from what's been a pretty terrible couple of years.
@@TMan978 I'm willing to pay $30+ for Valaverse Action Force, but there's not one Classified figure yet that reaches their level of quality. They need to step up, fast, if they want to compete.
I got this figure because....ninja. Hated the price for what you get. Hasbro saved mad bank on producing this figure. 50% figure re-use and 100% accessory re-use while also saving money on packaging. Too bad none of those savings were passed down to the consumer. Nope, instead, they jacked the price. It's Hasbro's attempt to punish the consumer/collector for Hasbro posting a poor financial quarter. But let's get real here. That bad financial quarter didn't mean that Hasbro didn't make profit or that they couldn't pay employees or executives. No, it's just they didn't meet the Board of Director's expected financial request. So we're really being punished for nothing. That aside, it's a decent figure. Not their best, but also not their worst.
This is the first Classified figure that I feel they Hasbro’d. Higher cost isn’t in the figure. Even the twins doubling up with the few accessories they have are priced well. I like this figure but I’m not going to pay $33 for a regular figure. I’ll wait and see if it goes on sale or not get it. Classified is up to 50 plus nice figures. I don’t have to be a completionist. The neck drives me crazy too. I do like Classified so this is the freebie Hasbro. You are on notice now. I’m watching now.
Man I'm all in with this Joe line! Been down since the very 1st wave. Awesome sculpts with above average articulation? Yes please. Plus these fit right in with another line I'm all in on: Valaverse.
@@TMan978 Eh I just move stuff around. I'm of the "if I want it, I shall have it" mentality. I'm slowly backing away from Legends so all of that yearly money can be dedicated to lines with more spaced out releases. I totally understand folks gripes tho. Value pretty much changes from person to person. That's why the HasLab argument is so redundant.
@@TMan978 nah I think there's something more than just greed here. The price doesn't concern me because I buy figuarts, mafex, storm collectibles, and the such. Ppl always want to compare McFarlane's prices because of the paint and sculpt, but don't want to talk about the lack of articulation, loose joints, and the such compared to Legends. There's always a trade-off. 🤷🏾♂️
I occasionally collect high-end/ importas well. I'm okay with that because I know their prices are going to be high but this is a regular retail. If this figure was 50 bucks and came with the same amount of stuff, you're telling me you would just be okay with that just because you want it? Even though it doesn't make any sense why it's 50 bucks and the rest of the figures are 25.
Marvel legends packaging 📦 looks cheap and dull. Gi joe team knows how to sell. Oh if you ask hasbro why is Kamakura a deluxe, they wil tell u because they added alot of detail and colour to the new packaging... Any form of excuse for greed and profit. 😂... However its a cool figure.. Great review...
I think Hasbro is now playing dirty(er). I feel they are now charging us for the popularity of the character. I grit my teeth when I saw the price of Sgt. Slaughter. Even though he is the exact same size as Roadblock. I gave it a pass because of likeness rights. But I think Kanakura is $32 only because he eventually became the new Snake Eyes. Other than that, there's nothing physically special about this figure that warrants the price point. (But I do like the figure)
You might want to considered not using gypped. I used the term myself before knowing where it comes. The word comes from the word Gypsy which the Roma people are often referred. These people were thought to be all thieves by your typical racist A holes. So they coined the term gypped for when someone was ripped off. This is no different than saying I got jewed. I don't really care if you continue to use it or not I'm just mentioning it in case you or others are of my same mindset and might be glad to know the roots of the word. I definitely don't feel bad for using the word in the past since I didn't know where it came from but I'm glad someone enlighten me way back in my college days of the origin. Use it, don't use I'll still love you. On a different note I would consider the figure for customization use but its a bit to pricey for that.
This guy çame out when my son was lñto GI Joe so I'm not feeling this figure especially the price. If he goes on clearance I may grab one but I'd want to make a Storm shadow V2.
@@TMan978 got 2 already, plus 2 RCB po's,, I may get another for the custom, I think Kamakuras upper legs look more like V2 than v1. Who knows, they may give us V2 and another version of snake eyes knowing them , I'm partial to the Arctic missions snake eyes and the rest in that set, plus the 98 cobra polar force 3 pack, they said we're getting another firefly, that would fit since Snow Job/ serpents are coming, maybe the snow serpents & firefly we get will be the 98 version and we'll get the polar force night creeper, imo all 3 are better than the originals,😎 ironken thinks we may get the arctic bat, I hope he's right ✌️
An honest, appreciated review of Kamakura and his accessories!
It's the green Power Ranger.
Loved this version of the character from DDP. I never thought we'd see a Classified figure if him.
maybe next week we'll see a great Amazon sale on him.
I got mine awhile ago. The head sculpt looks like David Kaye, though.
I got him, but yeah he was a little too expensive.
True

I think this is how they plan on bouncing back. Charging us crazy prices because we're addicted.

All of this
Appreciate you fidelity, great review… thx
My pleasure!
I like your rants! But yeah I think I will wait for a sale or price drop for him. He wasn't on my radar but some say he is cool in hand.
Yeah, he's exactly as I say here.

😑 I've been in too but in less than years, they went from $10 cheaper to $3 more. Now, I'm having issues.

Slaughter I can excuse looking at his unique accessories but Kamakura.....nah. I let myself be robbed
