It’s funny people are complaining how short Steel Brigade is. Breaker boots , SE 00 legs , BH/FF torso . Crazy that the Shield/Hydra is $49.99 with 3 face print heads ( license fees to Disney) and Steel Corps 2 pack is $54.99 which is a kitbash , PFP to save on cost ??? , 2 pack ( where the value) and Hasbro owns GIJoe. I’ll wait for a sale , the Viper 3 pack is on sale . Thanks for the review bud, cancelled all Preorders.

Good review. I had heard that these were originally from wave one. You can tell by the body and articulation. IMO Hasbro shouldn't have even released these. But they had a ton of them in their warehouse so... You can tell these aren't up to their current standatds. I bought this set anyway for the accessories.

Male looks to be the Beachhead/Firefly Torso, Stalker/Grunt Arms. Snake Eyes Legs. Female is Lady J/Covergirl Legs and Hips. and what I think is the Movie Scarlett Torso and Arms. (not 100% sure on the torso. Cant see whats under the overlay piece)

Yeah, Hasbro is being 100% traditional with this set. The whole concept of the original Steel "Brigade" set was to re-use old bucks with only the new headsculpt. Here they are re-using Beachhead with Breaker and Movie Scarlet with Lady Jaye. Then re-using the main weapons from the Viper 3-pack, as well as blast effects from the Valkyrie set. From a business standpoint, this set represents a low-budget, high profit margin deliverable, that balances out some high-budget, low profit margin deliverable. In layman's terms, they made this weak-ass set so that they could make a more high-end set somewhere else. I don't know why, but it looks like their heads are squashed too low on the neck, making them shorter than they should. Also, and I am shocked NO ONE has pointed out this VERY obvious thing. The flight helmet...is DOOMGUY. Straight up.

I just started collecting the line and I've had mixed results. I was really looking forward to Spirit and Outback, but I have QC issues with them both. Spirits hip joints feel so tight I'm afraid to sheer the leg right off. Outback has the bottom of his right bicep splayed so that the arm is super loose at the elbow. In the viper 3-pack those guys have disappointing articulation, with the bulky armor really limiting what they can do. I was really looking forward to this set but man. It's just weird to have seen so many people talk about how great this line is and then just be disappointed at every step. I think the ONLY figure I've gotten with no issues at all has been Low Light, and I didn't even really want him that much, just an impulse buy. I really hope they do something about all these QC issues.

Mine is coming soon. I don’t know. I want to reserve judgment until I get them. My weakest joes I feel are the Falcon head sculpt and his accessories. The Covergirl head sculpt. My breakers wobbly legs I can’t even use that figure anymore he remains on the R.A.M. And always will. I think it’s not that bad. I’m hoping with Falcon they provide a head sculpt that can be used on both original and his nightforce version. Otherwise I am thankful I have not had the QC issues a lot of others have had. Sorry you all had that experience. I’m glad I have not. 😝 Also I like the looks of these figures. Hate to be the contrarian. If in hand they are off I’ll definitely complain. Good and honest review.

You complain the colors are like the old figure, but then you want the weapon that came with the old figure? There is no pleasing you. These are reused body molds with a few new uniform parts(shoulder pads, chest rig). I'm disappointed the female figure has single point of articulation at elbow. I like the assortment of helmets. Hasbro Gi Joe Team needs to start including clear flight stands with their product. we should have got a flight stand for bubble and chariot. So these were your amazon orders that already came in?

I don't see how it's petty to pick up a trademark another company let drop. Hasbro blew it by thinking there was no value left in the IP and Vala proved there was. It's equally if not more petty to release this set, which seems like a desperate attempt to grab up the cash they left on the table when they deliberately let the trademark lapse.

I don't understand the constant complaining about the single-jointed elbows every time a new release has them. The few times we still get them due to parts reuse, it's absolutely no big deal, not to mention that most times they look better than the double-jointed implementation in most poses. It's a non-issue for me, just like the visible pins. My only personal gripe is when they do re-uses that are from Joe to Cobra characters and vice versa. I mean, the reuses should be kept faction exclusive. I doubt Joes and Cobra buy their gear from the same supplier, so Barbecue shouldn't have the same boots as Destro for example. That's what I personally find annoying.

So Hasbro literally wasn’t doing jack shit with Joe for years and as a result of their apathy toward the brand, trademarks expired, among many other things. However, a guy who worked on the Joe line for Hasbro (including that 50th SB you pulled up as well as a 6in POC style line that wound up getting axed due to the third movie being canceled) and started his own military line and bought the Steel Brigade TM (SB being his all time fav Joe) is somehow a “petty” move? So the issue is with the guy buying an openly available TM and NOT with Hasbro completely abandoning the Joe property and letting their incompetence free up said TM in the first place… That’s certainly some interesting “logic” right there. TM’s are clearly low on their priority list, this company/team can’t even standardize their own neck and hand pegs with the SAME line 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@beesbattlegrounds Of course we are all entitled to our own opinions, however I do not believe you are basing your opinion on the matter of the toy line and the facts surrounding it. Imo, you are basing your case solely around the disposition and attitude of the guy who runs the line. Insider knowledge of a 6in Joe line coming down the pike is completely irrelevant as Classified still beat Action Force to market by 19 months…so if 6in G.I.Joe line satisfied every collectors need for a 6in military line, then why has Action Force generated millions of dollars in revenue? 🤔 I mean I for one certainly didn’t think that new Savage Crucible KS would’ve done as well as it did seeing as how Four Horsemen pretty much have a stranglehold on the 6in fantasy/sword & sorcery market for toy lines not named MOTU…but the thing funded at over $600K. Clearly I was wrong. Also, Bobby wasn’t the first or even second independent company to try and launch a 6in military line, he was just the only successful one. There’s a new toy Kickstarter launching what feels like every month these days so we all know that if Bobby didn’t bring an alternative 6in military line to market, some other company would have done so by now. Hell, just because AF exists does not mean that another company still won’t also attempt their hand at a realistic 6in military line in the future as well-and I hope someone does because competition only helps us, the customers. The trademark thing is not even a consideration for conversation, Hasbro let the shit lapse. Period, the end. Dude the TM for “Action Force” itself was lapsed and dormant for 20 years prior to Bobby buying it… Regarding this video, for the “Steel Corps”, this was Hasbro’s chance to “show up” Vala and could’ve been an opportunity to make a silent but strong stance by releasing an awesome product, like don’t buy “someone else’s” Steel Brigade, buy ours because it’s better. What they did instead was release a tiny, disproportionate and dreadful looking version of SB. It doesn’t matter how many droopy/warped weapons they throw in the box, this figure is just awful looking and especially so compared to Vala’s. At the least, I believe you and I are in agreement on this one. How about this one: Was it “petty” for Skeletron to buy the TM for Red Shadows which also lapsed under Hasbro’s oh so vigilant eye? With Red Shadows being the enemy team for Action Force, (the AF “Cobra” if you will), it’s literally a part of the same IP. Some people might find it petty that another company swooped in and bought the Red Shadows TM only right after the Action Force KS achieved success… However, I don’t see any of it being petty or sketchy from any of these companies, under the auspices of it all being done legally and it all has been done that way, that I know of (I think we would have heard something by now if it wasn’t). Furthermore, imo, Fresh Monkey Fiction would have not started a 6in version of the Monster Force line if the Skeletron KS wasn’t massively successful, as a fair amount of MF figures are direct “homages” to Red Shadows-quite a few “Steel Corps” in that Series 1 of figures. Point being is that this rabbit hole has no bottom so it’s either all these companies are doing 100% legal practices, trying to corner a section of the market that they think there is demand for, or all they are just petty assholes. There’s nothing in the middle. Basically, what you’re really saying is this; if some other guy brought a 6in line to military line to market and bought the TM’s to Action Force and Steel Brigade (even though this hypothetical company would’ve been to market WELL after Classified hit, just like Bobby was)…that it somehow wouldn’t be petty because that guy wasn’t a former Hasbro employee named Bobby Vala. If you don’t like the guy, just be direct and say you don’t like him and move on. I mean it’s not like you would be the first person buying AF product that doesn’t like Bobby lol. I buy Marvel Legends & Star Wars figures on occasion and I cannot stand Disney, I loathe them lol. There’s only so many hills we can die on at the end of the day.
