HCC788 - New Delta-17 for JoeFest 2026!

Hello everybody HTC788 here and I have something special for you. This is something that was sent to me by Delta 17. Delta 17 fantastic action figure brand fantastic independent action figure toy makers and they sent me these because they're going to have these at JoeFest in Augusta, Georgia that is coming up this week this Friday. It'll be June 26th through the 29th and I'll be there and so will these. I haven't actually dug into this box. I opened it so that I could take them out on camera and we'll both be surprised. Ooh, yeah. This This is a surprise and I love this. It's um It's green bubble wrap. Green bubble wrap. I'll have I'll have a lot of fun with that later. Um oh and more oh we're double dipping double dipping on the green bubble wrap. Um and then okay, we've got some regular regular bubble wrap here. So let's see what's in the regular bubble wrap. >> [snorts] >> Set the box aside for a moment. Let's see what is under the regular ordinary bubble wrap. Now I like the green bubble wrap. The green bubble bubble wrap is special. Um I mean regular bubble wrap is great in itself, but green that's going the extra mile. Now check this out. Uh yeah, okay. Yes. You may be familiar with some of these figure designs and I will I will show you the close-up version in a moment, but for now there is the figure in or the figures in the package. Delta 17 war in the shadows, uh Shepherd, and Jaguar. Jaguar. Um so, that we've got a a good guy and a bad guy in desert camouflage, desert theme. And now, this. This other uh boxy thing here. Perhaps it is a Pandora's Box. Who knows? Perhaps this is something uh magical uh under this regular bubble wrap. And by God, it is! I'm really jazzed about this one. Hold on, you'll you'll like this. And you'll see why I like this from this ripping the plastic wrap right off. And what we have here is a Sky Storm. Uh it says uh unit JF-26. Get it? JF-26, huh? And this what is so cool about this is it's shiny. It is vac-metalized uh chrome. It all is all chrome and silver and shiny. And you know how I love shiny objects. So, what I'm going to do, actually, I'm going to go ahead and switch the camera around so you can get a close-up of these, and I'm going to open them and let you see these which you can get at JoeFest this coming weekend. Let's take a close look at these guys, and I did cut the packaging so I could take it out more easily on camera. Uh check out the card with that That'd make a really cool tattoo. May get that as a tattoo. Um and then we have the back with this great artwork, Shepherd versus Jaguar. And uh we're going to set that aside so we can take a look at the figures. So, we've got this uh top blister there. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh yes, they yes, they fit quite snugly. Very good. They They will not move around whilst in the packaging. Let's see, this would be Shepherd. I'm trying to get better light on these guys. I don't have my normal lighting set up. So, this figure has a desert camouflage. It has like that old style Desert Storm chocolate chip desert camo. Really really sharp paint details and incredibly detailed camouflage pattern for a figure this size. That's really impressive. Of course, he's got his death mask there. And as usual, man, we've got some Oh, yeah, really nice tight joints on these guys that are going to hold in place really well for all kinds of poses. We've got wrist articulation. The standard you expect from Delta 17 now in desert camouflage. He has some accessories including a figure stand. If I can pop that out of there. Very satisfying grip on that figure stand. Yeah. And let's check out his accessories. He's got his uh helmet here. And as you can see there is a notch in that helmet. And there is something that fits in that notch for that helmet and that is There we go. Very nice. Very nice. Not going to be safe without his helmet. You want to ensure safety first. Safety first. There we go. Safety when operating a forklift and certainly safety in combat. Got this um It looks like like a tactical shotgun. Um and an assault rifle. The with just uh really great detailing and with the desert motif just even better. Uh Uh see if we can Yeah. Fits great in the figure's hands. Last but not least, a backpack, [snorts] also in the desert camo colors. Pegs right in there, and it looks like it has uh a rack there for one of the weapons. So, the tactical shotgun will go on the backpack, so he can easily carry all of his accessories, and that's something that I like very much. Uh now we have to look at his nemesis or nemeses. Nemes- nemesi. Let's look at his nemesi. Uh we've got some kind of tiger stripe desert camouflage. Reminds you a bit of tiger force. Let all the accessories spill out. Way to go. All right, so it looks like I lost one of the bladed uh batons. Uh so, uh yeah, that didn't take long to uh to make a mistake, but you know what? That's okay, because this guy is so elite that he only needs one. You know, maybe you think this guy is an army builder. Well, the rest of them may be army builders, but my guy only needs one of these bladed batons. Uh not like those losers that must have two. So, we've got this um kind of bullpup rifle here, and it looks like yes, it has some holes to peg into the backpack. All right, let's see if I can get this on here. The the pegs are small, the holes are small, so yeah, you got to get them lined up really well in order for them to work. But let's see if we can do it. Whoa, whoa, I Apparently, I can't do it. I'm not coordinated enough. Uh this sniper rifle uh with Yeah, is that Yeah, a working bipod. Um it also uh has pegs. So, let's see if we can peg this guy on. There we go. That one works. That one works. I think I was just doing the other one wrong. We've got lots of accessories, highly detailed accessories. We've got some uh really elaborate uh paint and detailing. Um of course, that's what we expect now from Delta 17. If you've seen their other things, you know uh that this is on par with their uh their usual work. But, that's not all because we still have the shiny thing. These little robot guys were some of my favorites from last year. And it looks like what they've done is they've taken the robot guys and they've made it shiny plastic uh piece on top to help hold him in securely. There you go. And then now you pop him out. And yeah, this this was one of the things I really liked about um the one from last year is the sticker sheet. Uh I'm not sure what stickers I will put on my robot guy, but yes, I I do appreciate this. On the sticker sheet, they have a 788. Yeah, they got it lined up. They got it lined up to have a 788. I I love these guys. Thank you. Thank you. It makes me feel famous. Uh but, check this guy out. Look at Look at this. Look at all the reflective surfaces. Look at the Look at the glean, gentlemen. Look at the glean. >> To glean, men. There's a gleam. Let's get the gleeman. All right, let's go. >> It's like a Cylon uh or just I don't know, some It's It's It's like it's own thing, but just shiny and gorgeous. I was curious about how the joints would work with the chrome, but the joints work fine. Uh Uh, no cracking or anything. The joints are working great. It's It's a robot. It's a shiny robot. I mean, do you need to ask any more than that? Um, and it's a It's a It's a robot tank. And if I remember correctly from last year, you can take this off, and this is like a regular backpack that you could put on another action figure. The guns spin. The we've got articulation at the head and at the waist. Uh, so like even though it is a big chunky robot, it's not a static robot. It moves. It has articulation. Uh, this These are great. I just think they're fantastic. That's our Skystorm unit JF-26. There you have it, new Delta 17 War in the Shadows. These will be available at JoeFest in Augusta, Georgia this weekend. Uh, and they will be available at retail in July. But, you don't want to You don't want to miss You don't want to miss the shiny robot. You need the shiny robot.
