General Joe Talk / Re: New o-ring project on Kickstarter
« on: April 18, 2025, 01:42:04 PM »Martin - how about a review of these figures. I saw in another post that it looked like you had received your order?
Yes, I got my figs. Overall, I like them.
What I like:
1. I now have 7 new original characters
2. They are build with a neck ball joint and have swivel wrists (2 things we don't see with S7 ReAction+)
3. Paint is good
4. Sailors have alternate skin (Black & White)
5. Joints are good
6. They comes with alternate eyes (white part of the eye painted or not. So you choose what you like)
7. I have 3 sailors. All are different (3 differents ranks, Darker skin, Brown hair, Red hair). So I guess you can make 9 unique figs.
What could have been better:
1. Rivets are not painted (I like it when they are)
2. For this one, I don't know how to explain it well, so you will have to use your imagination... they have swivel wrists (which is good). But, when the hand is turning, you see a gap with the lower part of the arm. Because the hand is round, but the arm isn't, that look weird. To do it right, I think a part of the wrist should be included with the hand, and another part stay on the arm. So, the wirst is cut in half and is rotating "round part on round part" (if this make sense)
3. Accessories are limited (1 gun, no backpack). Vintage GI Joe backpack fits in, but tight.
4. Some torsos don't stay straight. Falcone is working on a replacement torso (free replacement)
How do I rank them?
1. Skeletron / Callsing Longbow / Delta-17
2. Vintage and new (Transformers collab) GI Joe
3. In The Navy (Falcone)
4. Strike Force Alpha
5. Super7 Reaction+ (no swivel wrists, no neck ball joint)
