Fortnite Dire and A.I.M. McFarlane Toys Epic Games Action Figure Review
Ойын-сауық
McFarlane Toys has impressed me so much with the Fortnite line that I had to hunt down A.I.M. and Dire. Their appearance and size just allows them to work in any display, even if it isn't Fortnite. I just love these things, figures of a property I don't care about. Good toys are good toys!

It'd be cool if Dire had a hinged jaw. Still getting him, though.

I'm hoping Jazwares makes their version of these guys... but if not, I'm still in for McF's Dire. I can't pass up a werewolf fig.
I don’t even care for Fortnite but that werewolf design is really cool.

Yeah... Definitely gonna have to pickup Dire sometime. I can look past where he's from *just this once* & honestly that skin always looked great anyway. Plus he's got a SPAS-12! (which I love, hands down my favorite shotgun design next to Winchester 1887s) Not gonna lie: Other than him being a Fortnite character, pretty much everything else about this guy is right up my alley! Really nice to see somebody made a figure of him.
Dire looks so cool
Since I suck as paint customizing, Im using Dire as Dark Beast for now lol
I wish the hands on these figures were a little softer plastic so I could get the weapons into the hands easier

Great review Robo! These 2 look awesome! I'm also getting some Chappie vibes off that A.I.M. figure. I could easily see a group of them being some kind of government issue Urban Assault team or something. With the visual cues already presented it'd be cool to make a custom Dire before he got 'Wolfed, lol. Looking forward to picking these up.
Man we need a new M.O.D.O.K.
Thanks Robo now I need like 3 of these robots! Great video as always my man
Decent review. These where the two I was going to use for customs.
I actually want to start collecting this series myself, and these 2, plus the Ragnarock would be a great start. I'm not a gamer or into Fortnite, but it's McFarlane and these look pretty fantastic, and it's like you said, you can smuggle them in with the Marvel Legends...so maybe...
Haven't been tempted by this line REMOTELY....until I saw Dire in person yesterday...ended up grabbing him, Ice King, Inferno....dag nabbit I'm impressed!! Dont even play the game! Now I've gotta grab Ragnarok and the Wild Cards....maybe Black Knight....then that's it...until some other irresistible design comes out

Omg adding both to my fortnite collection and they fit perfect for jazware 6" figures
I have the aim figure but I went to GameStop and they didn’t have dire yet so I’m on hold and I was looking for that skin I love that skin it’s the best
Considering AIM for a custom BAT from GI Joe.

Hadn't noticed that! Good catch!
I have to agree. these are joining my Marvel Legends...they work well as you pointed out with non-human characters... And they are great sculpts so I can justify adding it to my collection... These McFarlane Fortnite figures are more than worthy to join the Marvel legends shelf.
That A.I.M. figure can be used for a custom MCU Ultron
When I saw dire I immediately thought of werewolf by knight
In case you read these so long after release; the upper ball joint in A.I.Ms torso can be freed up, you just have to risk the breakage. I decided to give it a go (since I got mine for free) and just started really twisting, eventually was able to get full rotation. It seems to have been some mold flash in the joint. The ball joints also have little nubs around them (I assume to try and prevent a vacuum lock?) which seem to have needed to shear off a little bit with the rotation
I gave all the guns from the 2 aim guys to the 4 Wild card figures and they look awesome!
Robo! You dastardly son-of-a-gun! You've done it again! First the SW Bandai model kits, then Revoltech Marvel figures, now freakin' Fortnite! I can't constantly end up buying new toy lines after watching your reviews, dammit! I never played the game, don't care for it in the slightest but you've sold me on Dire, whom I picked up today, and now I'm considering buying others. Curse be upon the House of Robo, may new, attractive toys be released quicker than you can keep track, may several companies release new Deadpools every month, may Hasbro and SH Figuarts release new SW characters on weekly basis! :P
I don't play fortnite but love me some action figures. These look cool.
This is a weird line for me because I know nothing about the game, it's characters or anything but I love buying/collecting characters like these two. It's the first time I've ever just bought figures because they look cool plus being ignorant of the ip somehow makes me enjoy these figures even more. The second and only other line I collect without knowing anything about it is mcfarlanes academia figures. Also enjoy the ease in which all the newer lines can be part swapped for customs.
Yo I don’t like fortnite anymore but that aim looking dope
Dire is awesome. I wish his butterflies worked a little better but still one of the best werewolf figures ever. And aim is just begging for a back story in any display
I’m not a Fortnite fan or Fortnite action figure collector but I definitely want Dire. I’ve always wanted a highly articulated Werewolf action figure and it works for scale cause werewolves are typically taller than the average human.
Is that vest-jacket a separate piece from the torso sculpt at all or is it all one solid piece? Love your channel!
I have been seeing the newest series (the ice king)
I kinda like the pants it makes it seem industrial like the robots in gears of war 4 or the rubber joint covers in gundam thunderbolt
1:12 I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees that. That's pushing copyright infringement pretty hard with this figure.
I would love these if they made them into the 40 point 6 inch figures
First? Might pick these figures up too cuz that don’t look that bad never got any fortnite figures
I got a A.I.M. bot but haven’t gotten a Dire yet, but a friend of mine ordered a Prisoner for me, I hope to have it soon

these mcfarlane figs definitely need warm baths to work in the joints and fit the weapons into the hands
I have the season 6 skins in fortnite so i have dire and A.I.M from the mystery skin which is i like it
great video you could upload a video with all your collection of fornite figures
If only this type of effort wasnt put into the fortnite line the wolf dude looks superb imagine it without the fornite aesthetics
I just got the Dire figure and intend to get several more of the McFarlane Fortnite line. None of the new wave from Jazwares appeal to me at all. This line and the Destiny line are what give me high hopes for what's coming from McFarlane under the DC license. Just compare the DC Essential Red Hood to the Vault of Glass Titan. Then when I look at these Fortnite figures, it makes me glad for the state of my wallet that McFarlane isn't putting out waves of Batman's Rogues Gallery right now.
I do like that werewolf
Dire is amazing
Amen Origins are unknown some people say he came from outer space but I think that nog Ops which came a season later after aim actually sent him to the island scout out to see if it's a good enough
You got any tips on photographing my figures?
That Dire is cool looking could be better with a hinged jaw. And a removable sword from the scabbard. As for A.I.M. if your going to give him two guns then give him at least one interchangeable hand so he can hold both guns. Holsters would have been a good idea as well. On a totally separate note we all know that Triple Force Friday is in 2 weeks, and many of the figures have been leaked through pictures. Have you thought about having a preview show before Triple Force Friday showing the pictures and explaining some of the differences in packaging for some of the figures? I think most of us could find this information extremely useful.
Actually, at 09:35 it's not the ankle, it's the toes ;) Yup, animals who have this kind of legs just have very long foot. Or maybe I'm wrong I heard that a while ago ^^
Where can you buy them?
Do doggo and p100 toy review 6 inch figures please
U should get another A.i.m Bot and custom a Chappie fig, I wanna do the Same
0:00 basically cuts off aim's head
Sooo sick
Anyone else looking at that robot and thinking that would make a good base for a metal head or krang *ninja turtles*
Dire with a closed jaw and Kung fu attire looks more like Splinter, but I love a good Werewolf. A.I.M. looks like he is ready to challenge his opponents to a break dancing battle rather than a battle to the death in those pants and high tops. I love robot figures, I will look out for both.
Even if fortnite is dying these figures are going to be around for a while
Da heck u just made it to pose the pickaxe and shotgun in dire? Its just so difficult!!! >:U
A.I.M looks like Liberty prime from fallout. (Mostly the head)
The wolf guy could stand in a dbs display as one of the wolf guys Goku fought
Not that literally anyone cares, but the funniest thing about AIM is that his lore dictates that he... is one of Santa’s little helpers.
YOU FELL FOR IT FOOL, THUNDA CROSS SPLIT ATTACKU
You can use it with the turtles now

Robo, did you see the Fortnight Batman commercial for Batman Day?...food for thought, as Mcfarlane has the Fortnight license, and the DC license starting next year, will we see an exclusive Fortnight Batman figure from Mcfarlane?

Dire reminds me of the bravestarr villain named dingo.
Martial Arts werewolf eh? Look up Jon Talbain from the fighting game series Darkstalkers
Aim reminds me of liberty prime
I don't know fortnight but these guys look sweet.
DarkStalkers Tillbain is who he reminds me of.
Cool. A.I.M. is my fav skin... and i don't even play Fortnite🤣
Dire is cool
The ankle isn't articulated on dire. What you're calling the ankle is the ball of his foot, cos ya know, dog leg. The ankle is that almost 90 degree bend right below the knee.
Hey I was in Indiana today
A.i.ms like a fortnite version of the cobra bats.
I guess A.I.M. is wearing because Fortnite players would have nightmares seeing robot junk.
Dire looks like a werewolf version of Kung Fury!
Interesting figures and great review. With that said I am just not feeling it (and I too do not play the game). An easy pass for me
D.I.R.E. = BOX from Alpha Flight! The legs will need some customizing and a paint redo to dial in the colours, but other than that, given the incoming Marvel Legends boxed set this December, we need BOX and McFarlane (I think their version looks better than the other company) has come to the rescue until Hasbro can bring us an official version. Here is a link to an image that is quite similar to the figure: i.pinimg.com/originals/27/44/e6/2744e6d261056b388c426bd21954b975.jpg
