GI JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES NIGHT FORCE FALCON & QUARREL REVIEW

Introduction

Good day, Champions! Shar Eyes is back once again, and today we're diving into the exclusive KN Force set featuring Falcon and Quarrel. Let's unbox this intriguing set and explore its details.

Overview of the Set

The set is number 138 in the GI Joe Classified line. The package artwork features the characters in the mines of Enon, creating a captivating backdrop for this collection.

Character Ratings

Let's take a look at the character skills and ratings:

Falcon

• Vanguard: Level 3 (not to be confused with the vehicle)
• Light Weapons: Level 3
• Medic: Level 3
• Linguistics: Level 3 (a skill we may not have seen often before)

Quarrel

• Covert Ops: Level 3
• Arrow Weapons: Level 3
• Martial Arts: Level 2
• Infiltration: Level 3

These ratings align with the original file cards for both characters.

Unpackaging the Figures

Upon opening the box, we find that much of the gear included is a reuse from previous figures. Key weapons are:

• Shotgun and backpack from the original classified Falcon
• Various accessories from Tunnel Rat and Scarlet
• An array of sidearms and extra hands for Quarrel

After examining Quarrel’s design, it’s evident that she is a retooled version of the V1 Joe Scarlet figure. She features Scarlet's quiver legs and a knife sheath, with slight variations like the color of the arm details.

Articulation and Accessories

• Head Sculpt: The initial images of Quarrel's face sculpt received mixed reviews, but the final look is impressively accurate to her character.
• Gear: She comes equipped with knives, a crossbow, a sidearm, and a quiver for arrows, which ties into her character's expertise in using butterfly knives.

After running her under hot water to loosen her stiff legs, Quarrel can be kitted up nicely and stands out in her Night Force colors.

Falcon's Features

Falcon’s accessories include:

• A collapsible shotgun
• A grenade launcher with rotating barrel
• A light machine gun with a removable ammo box
• A combat knife

Despite being similar to previous accessories, Falcon’s figure showcases several interesting details like the removable scarf and a new head sculpt.

Comparisons and Final Thoughts

Both figures fit nicely within the Night Force line, though Falcon's articulation leaves a bit to be desired. The character's accessories are functional but do not hold as well as hoped. Quarrel stands out for her clearer design and better articulation.

In terms of fitting within the existing collection, these figures can complement other Night Force characters well, creating a more comprehensive display.

In conclusion, this set brings excellent options for collectors, notably the ability to create a Night Force Scarlet by swapping heads, and adding a Steel Core look for Falcon.
