G.I. Joe Classified Series

Maybe I just have terrible luck, but man, I run into so many stuck/clunky/too heavily ratcheted waist ball joints across every line that uses them (though that ML Wolverine was smooooooth as silk). if they were all like his I'd be more annoyed at companies using waist swivels but I'd say fully half my Joes I rely on the mid-torso swivel for poses cos their waists are a struggle to twist.

I was really happy with the Firefighter figure but the lack of a length of hose and a nozzle to pose him with seems like an obvious miss, and since Doc is such a neat medic figure I was similarly looking forward to the Police Officer.

Of these specialists he's a bit disappointing on the execution of the accessories. The coffee cup...what hand is he supposed to hold that with?(!) He should have come with a coffee-holding hand and a doughnut.

The cuffs are neat for putting on a collared perp, but look dumb stuck into the slot on his belt so I don't really want to have them on him, and they'll mostly just be left in the accessories bin.

The biggest fail though, is the torch. If I want accessories permanently moulded into the storage detail then Marvel Legends have got me covered. I do not expect this on a £35 'deluxe' figure.

Get your shit together Hasbro.

Interesting, I almost never have this, but have other issues with my figures. Is it maybe cold in your fig room? Do you "break in" the waist like you would any other part? I feel like as long as you're not doing it with cold figures it's probably safe.

Although some figs with belts attached to their vests can make it difficult!
