You've started a VERY, VERY dangerous path Rocco.... I was never into GI Joe (as a kid or otherwise) until I got the SDCC Serpentor figure and it's amazing and then I started watching the 80's cartoon and I'm now I'm crazy into it and I've filled up 2 bookshelves of Classified figures, made a bunch of custom figures and a vehicle, and I've even collected a few vintage figures that I thought looked cool or of favorite characters. You should definitely get the figures that come with animals, those are extra sweet! My favorite army builders are the Cobra Troopers/Cobra Infantry, Techno Vipers, Arctic BATs, and Snow Serpent. There's a lot of "regular" military dudes and then a lot of unique weirdo characters, so stuff for everyone to collect. Definitely preorder a retro card Cobra Commander if you can find a place that isn't sold out yet, that's the most classic version and he should be out in a month or two. Enjoy the figures, but beware, you might need a second job to afford getting into Joes.
I started small and now almost Exclusively ALL IN with Classified as well. I have everything they’ve put out thus far so all I have to do now is keep up. The HasLabs as well. I await the RATTLER!!! Just one day to go!!!!
I was an 80,s baby ninja turtles he man and gi joe were pretty much the big 3. It's good to see a 90,s kid being able to go back in time and appreciate the 80,s
Its weird seeing a 90's kid experience Gi Joe for the first time. Granted the GI Joe Real American Hero line of the 80's fell off a cliff and died as a line in the 90's. 80's GI Joe peak was GI joe the movie which aired in 1986 I believe. You came at a great time to discover GI Joe. The quality of the figs is great. Hasbro is mixing in all the fan favorites of the 80's with slight modern interpretations. The classified line is a more modern take on the figures. Even though many still have their 80's core design characteristics. The retro line of classified figures are basically 6 inch figs that represent how the the figures looked in the 80's.
For armybuilders, anything with "Viper" or "Trooper" in the name is usually a cobra troopbuilder. B.A.T.'s are Battle Android Troopers and indeed an armybuilder. There's a retro carded Cobra Commander on pre-order now. With vac metal faceshield. Personally I like the Dreadnocks, Zandar and Zarana are older figures, Buzzer and Ripper released last January, Gnawgahyde and Torch are shipping now, Zartan and Roadpig are slated for late '24, early '25. This should keep you busy for a while 😅
2:40 Right off the bat, we have a ... B.A.T.! You missed the wordplay! Welcome to the club, brother! In my opinion, the B.A.T. is the best action figure of all time. You'll want to pick up a retro Cobra Commander when those come out.
Classified hit a lot of people hard. I got sucked by a friend that just wanted a Baroness and now I have more than 30...and I just buy the ones I like. Check out the Retro snow serpent and the Alley Viper. They are top notch.
GI Joe is a great line! Classic or classified. The community on the other hand has been a little wild lately. Do your thing don’t get to deep into “the community”
This is a very dangerous path you walk. I loved my G.I. Joes as a kid, especially being able to play with my middle brother. At $4 per figure, it was pretty easy to go check out the toy isle and beg mom for another figure. When the Classified line first came out, I was all "they're too big, too expensive, and I don't like the G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout look they're going with." But then, I finally caved in and bought the retro carded Baroness - my wife once dressed as the Baroness for Halloween and not to mention that retro card backing was hard to pass up. I thought "eh, it's only one right?" I'm not one of these have to have them all, but I'm 37 figures in and am anxiously awaiting my Haslab Dragonfly to ship sometime in December. My only two problems are 1) money and 2) the regret I feel for missing out on some of these that came out before I started collecting.
I got the croc master that comes with the croc, Is a great figure. I recommend getting that one for another villian gi joe classified for your collection bro.
@ROCCOTHEGREAT yea you might find him for a good price. I found him at ross for 11.99 around last christmas time. If you don't have a ross in your area you might see it pop up again at Ollie's for you. It's a great deluxe figure cuz you get the croc with him too which the croc itself is great.
U picked out very good ones u have a good eye. I just get the ones i like alot im not a someone that needs them all just to complete a line. Thank god. Ok get serpentor next he will not disappoint
Bro, this Classified Line is so fire right now it’s crazy…..personally, I think it’s easily Hasbros best line. Anyway, figures that I think were some of the best of 2023 that you need to check out…..Snow Job, Dreadnok Ripper, General Hawk, Range Viper, Ralph “Nunchuk” Baduccu, Night Force Big Ben, Night Force Tunnel Rat and Mutt & Junkyard(on sale on Amazon and Target if in store) Then as for this year, I honestly don’t think there’s been a bad figure so far, the Retro line has really been great with Retro Duke, Retro Recondo, Retro Beach Head, Snow Serpent, then the regular Classified releases like Airborne, Quick Kick, Doc, Dreadnok Torch, etc, etc
Go back and watch the GI Joe cartoon. It’s really great. Fun watch. Also, Check out the Super 7 Ultimates GI Joe figures. Skip the Snake Eyes movie. It’s not done well.
Awesome seeing a new Joe fan. Ha, if your looking to go Joe crazy you better be ready to go broke. Don't watch any of the new GI Joe movies bro, all 3 are just cash grabs with no soul. Look up GI Joe the movie, the intro is iconic to any Joe fan.
Look for the color changing Zartan, it’s a homage to the 80’s action figure that changed colors. Unfortunately it was a pulse con exclusive, you might have some luck.
Welcome to the world of GI Joe. They got a lot of cool looking figures & some charmingly silly ones. Beware of some weirdly specific exclusives & recolors though. Those can be a pain at times. Hope you make some more videos about them, as seeing you have fun with the figures in this video was fun to watch. 8:12 GI Joe has a sub-group in it called “Eco Warriors”, so maybe global warming can be an enemy for them. Although they haven’t been incorporated into the Classified line yet. Hopefully someday, as I love the silly designs of those characters. B.A.T’s literally stand for “Battle Android Troopers”, so yeah, they are army builders. One of the best ones even. The other army builders of this line I can think of are: •Cobra Troopers & Officers - the more well known basic bad guy troopers •Vipers •Crimson Guards •Tele-Vipers •Alley Vipers •Snow Serpents •Steel Corps - basically the good guy troopers •Iron Grenadiers •Grunt, if you ignore or customize the name tag on it •And some weirdly specific recolors As for the Snake-Eyes movie…it’s not exactly well liked by most. So it’s probably skippable. Your better off watching the old animated movie that literally introduced a society of snake people into the story.
Its funny, I just picked up 3 of these GI Joe classified figures this month in Retro packaging for carded collecting. It feels like 1984 all over again for me. Try watching the cartoon.
The retro figures are the best on my opinion. The B.A.T.s are troop builders, COBRA has a lot of army builders, you COBRA Troopers, Crimson Guards, Vipers, Televipers to name a few. The Snake Eyes movie sucks though. Hopefully we can get a good G.I. Joe movie one day.
I love collecting some of the Gijoe classified Series Figures. I'm favorite ones are Heavy Weapons or Guys with Animals too, love your channel keep up the good work
Im a late 80s early 90s kids and im the baby of the family. All my older brothers and cousins played with Joes and i was way into Joes and they started dying out in the 90s and it was a challenge finding them in the toy stores but damn it im a Yo Joe kid
Just to let you know The Last Samurai was Ken Watanabe and not Tom Cruise. People think it's Tom Cruise because he is the star of the movie and is featured on the poster.
Yo, that snake eyes movie is absolute dog shit, avoid it. Gotta get the terror twins man, Tomax and Xamot, Cobra Commander is a must if you're really into things, the Helix figure is probably one of the best in the line. The night force figures that have been released so far aren't bad, Tunnel Rat, Big Ben, Shooter, Shockwave with the motorcycle, and Wolf Spider for night force. Flint, if you're really taking a dive, and a Lady J, the two are like peas and carrots.Pick up the dreaknoks, they're fun, along with Zartan, if you wanna go big pick up the SDCC three pack of Baroness and the twins, along with Sepentor and Mindbender. Army builder bad guys, gonna be rough, cobra troopers sell for a stupid price in the secondary, same with the cobra vipers, alley vipers if you dig blue and orange I guess. The line's hit or miss, the gummy weapons fucking suck, the arms are sometimes not all the way on at the bicep cut so just a heads up about that.
The snakeyes movie is trash, storm shadow in it was dope. But the film was sooo bad. I think I got a play list of joes incase you wanna skim them to get an idea for your next joe fix.
Ok the snake eyes movie is garbage...so that fig gets overlooked. Its actually one of the best snake eyes fig they have. People just wont admit it because the movie sucks.
Wasn't given a fair chance but they're the most realistic looking in the line. I like movie snake eyes much better than the others and akiko goes great with the blue ninjas vypra and jinx

One of my absolute favorite figures as a kid was Recondo

Those figures look a lot bigger than the ones i had as a kid
Mindbender is awesome, Chuckels is awesome, serpentor obviosly, zartan so many great figures in the line
Classified hit a lot of people hard. I got sucked by a friend that just wanted a Baroness and now I have more than 30...and I just buy the ones I like. Check out the Retro snow serpent and the Alley Viper. They are top notch.
You need a medic immediately! Get Doc!!! If you're into reading try out the original Marvel comics run of GI Joe. This will make you an elite fan! Lol
GI Joe is a great line! Classic or classified. The community on the other hand has been a little wild lately. Do your thing don’t get to deep into “the community”
G.I. Joe episodes are available on TH-cam. Worth watching even today.
Welcome to the club. Joe's was out of my era also.
glad im not alone!

Bats are great army builds
I need more!
Keep checking Ross for Joes. This past winter they had a ton of them, probably will get more this year as well.
I got the croc master that comes with the croc, Is a great figure. I recommend getting that one for another villian gi joe classified for your collection bro.
thanks ill look him up!
@ROCCOTHEGREAT yea you might find him for a good price. I found him at ross for 11.99 around last christmas time. If you don't have a ross in your area you might see it pop up again at Ollie's for you. It's a great deluxe figure cuz you get the croc with him too which the croc itself is great.
These are also good to kitbash, to make new Joes if you gt cheap dupes. Change the heads with Marvel legends, and change the weapons up.
yeah, they're very fun!
U picked out very good ones u have a good eye. I just get the ones i like alot im not a someone that needs them all just to complete a line. Thank god. Ok get serpentor next he will not disappoint
There is also a cobra viper (army builder) three pack that comes with a bunch of guns and blast effects
damn those look sick. I need the effects

🇺🇲YO!! JOE🇺🇲
For Army building the BAT is good start but for me i would recomend the Red or Blue Ninjas awesome video!!
Look for the color changing Zartan, it’s a homage to the 80’s action figure that changed colors. Unfortunately it was a pulse con exclusive, you might have some luck.
you definitely need a cobra commander and some cobra troopers
yes! I got 1 CC so far. after thes video was filmed

I used to collect gijoe and thx for the amazing video
Gi Joe Classified series is What I thought marvel legends was going to be, A Good toyline
I love collecting some of the Gijoe classified Series Figures. I'm favorite ones are Heavy Weapons or Guys with Animals too, love your channel keep up the good work
Hunt the Drednoks. Those are good bad guys
thank you, will check these out
Empire Toy Shop is THE BOMB! I get ALL my Mezcos from Empire. Partially because I live in NY and they ship FAST .
Enjoy the g.i joe journey Rocco, pick and choose, some classified figures are great, some are total garbage. Any viper figure is an army builder.
Im a late 80s early 90s kids and im the baby of the family. All my older brothers and cousins played with Joes and i was way into Joes and they started dying out in the 90s and it was a challenge finding them in the toy stores but damn it im a Yo Joe kid
There’s even 1/12 scale GI Joe Classified vehicles Rocco
It happened to me 😂😂
Just to let you know The Last Samurai was Ken Watanabe and not Tom Cruise. People think it's Tom Cruise because he is the star of the movie and is featured on the poster.
Your gonna get addicted, trust me! You gotta get Covergirl and Baroness with the cycle! The Snake Eyes Movie, not so good!
Number 1 fan
Duke is more like the field commander. General Flagg created GI Joe and General Hawk is the leader and field commander for the first 13 issues or so
Yo, that snake eyes movie is absolute dog shit, avoid it. Gotta get the terror twins man, Tomax and Xamot, Cobra Commander is a must if you're really into things, the Helix figure is probably one of the best in the line. The night force figures that have been released so far aren't bad, Tunnel Rat, Big Ben, Shooter, Shockwave with the motorcycle, and Wolf Spider for night force.

THANK YOU! this is all good info,
so far I got the baroness 3 pack and a cobra commander! I might do an unboxing for the 3 pack, it looks awesome
@@ROCCOTHEGREAT sure man, no problem. Good luck on the new collection
For the ninja snake eyes it’s the movie one and in the movie the actor is Asian. And I got ninja snake eyes and 2 other figures for $30 on bbts
Wsup Rocco have a good day today also I wanna be a member so I might buy member today.
That’s awesome! Either way I appreciate your support 🙌🙌
Yo Joe. Go Rocco! Wlecome to GiJoe Collectibles
thank you!
The snakeyes movie is trash, storm shadow in it was dope. But the film was sooo bad. I think I got a play list of joes incase you wanna skim them to get an idea for your next joe fix.
thanks ill check it out & I agree, i got 5 mins into the new SE movie, was really bad 😌
Movie is ass but the figure is good just never put the unmasked head lol
People didn't give the movie line a chance because they didn't like the movie but there actually the most realistic looking figures in the line
One does not simply decide to be a GI Joe classified collector on a whim. What planet are you from
“Global warming”😂😂😂
Ok the snake eyes movie is garbage...so that fig gets overlooked. Its actually one of the best snake eyes fig they have. People just wont admit it because the movie sucks.
Wasn't given a fair chance but they're the most realistic looking in the line. I like movie snake eyes much better than the others and akiko goes great with the blue ninjas vypra and jinx
Yooo Joe!!!
JOE!!!!
dont watch that horrid SE movie bro
