Before Hama put her in ARAH, Chuck Dixon wrote her into the IDW continuity where she had the ability to determine the moves that an opponent would make and, if I remember correctly, she could emulate those moves after seeing them. She like to work with Snake Eyes because, in her words, he was the best they had.
@@beesbattlegrounds at 1st i thought you were calling me a douche ..yeah Zartan, Zarana and Zandar are definitely not human!!!.... well Zarana and Zandar never change color on the cartoon!?
Dunno if Hasbro planned it or its just a well timed coincidence, but Helix popping on preorder when Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty came out was damn good. I dont really pay attention to Classified, but she definitely caught my eye with the mantis blades. Cant wait to do a 2077 repaint.
If there was ever a time to include extra hands...this would be it. She definitely needed fist or something. I'm just glad we are getting more female joes.
I have her on pre-order. Still showing as December for release date. They've been moving these up, so I am sure she'll release either mid November or near the end of November. She is one of the unknowns I actually want. She looks like a female done right.
I saw a video of her profile and I immediately wanted an action figure of her. As soon as she's available I am getting at least two or three of her. The others will be for customizing.
Yup, she's a keeper. Good color scheme, nice variety of accessories, solid face and hair sculpt, and a stand-out feature to make her easily identifiable.
Just got her yesterday. I don't know her, but I'm always up for an interesting character. Shackles for the wrist swords were a little wonky, plus her left leg was bent out. Nothing that a little hot water couldn't fix. Very nice figure!
She's a great character in the comics. I think she might be autistic. And I would so want Barrel Roll, Bombstrike, their evil cobra sniper brother and dawn moreno. Bring them all. More than anything this is imo the best figure of the wave.
Thanks for the heads up post last week I actually forgot to check my email notification on her being ready to ship from bbts✨✨✨ Anyways she looks pretty cool and mine should be arriving tomorrow or wednesday. Nice review 🎉🎉🎉🎉
She just arrived in my BBTS pile of loot, and I was waiting for a review to see if there were QC issues with her. She looks great! But I do wish they had given this Classified version the all-black, almost thigh-high boots that the 3 3/4" figure has. Besides that, she looks as good as the Pursuit of Cobra figure.
@@timvanboening9432 The paint of the boots, knee pads, and the sculpt above the knee pads are 99% black. I consider those thigh-highs with knee pads on them. Either way I prefer that to the roughly 60-40 black and grey of the Classified boots.
It looks like the Mantis Blades wouldn't fit well on male figures to me. So in the unlikely even they wanted to make a Razor Trooper they'd have to at least partially remould it perhaps. But you never know maybe it might stretch a bit.
So she was rescued from Child Traffickers and then combats them later as an adult & I guess also rescues some more kids too.. You listening FINN from Star Wars hmmmm ?
She is in the mail right now for me. DHL is slow as molasses with shipping, so I hope once USPS gets a hold of her she’ll zip through their system. All those blades will be put in my bits box and she’ll have those two pistols as her kit. I don’t think she’s a mutant. She is autistic and potentially has an eidetic memory. I like to think of her as the Rain Man of the Joe Universe.
Yes, I pre-ordered her from the big "A"...Then, She showed up at BBTS...Then, Sold out!!!! I will just wait for the hopefully early arrival from the big "A". Anyways, Great looking figure!!! Really good in the comics...Thanks for the Great review!!! Peace!!!
I'm not a GI Joe fan (anymore) but I've bought some Classified figures on aesthetics alone and this one is no different, looking forward to getting her cause she looks dope.
Bright YELLOW maybe not the best TACTICAL color to wear lol. Not a bad looking figure overall but yeah skipping unless see her at a ROSS or something for a few bucks. Good review!
I wouldn’t say being able to keep track of round counts for everyone around you is a premonition ability. Seems more like an indicator for something else…
Uncle Bobby B bringing the fire 🔥🔥🔥! I have no connection to the figure, I might have bought her ROC figure when she came out. Definite pickup b/c I always like have more women in the line. I don’t know if I’ll display her with the blades cause I think they look goofy. Maybe if they weren’t hinged and were straight like MK’s Baraka. Is it your lighting of is the face a lighter plastic? Hoping Hasbro didn’t cheapen out on the plastic. The grey color for the pistols is better, but they do lol like America’s Heroes dollar store weapons. Great review as always although it took me 30 seconds to figure out what sounded like “Valaverse Venom” was! LOL😂
Pass for now... Id like to purchase this fig on sale.... I Been finding alot of good joes for cheap at the discount stores lately. They gotta be really really good for 25.00.
Easy pass. However, I'm an old guy that's only interested in the vintage characters. Glad to see Hasbro is willing to expand outside the ARAH line though.
Honestly I never liked Helix, hated the way she was in IDW and I know some have come around with better stories but I never could. With this specific figure, the swords combined with the wrist blades is a pretty weird design IMO. It’s difficult enough to duel wield anyway but combine that with another set of blades on the wrists it seems you have a recipe to hurt yourself more than your opponent. One or the other is fine but combined it’s chaotic. Maybe that’s what they were going for but to me it doesn’t work.
@beesbattlegrounds yo u got that hong Kong plug and to be honest check uncle ale he's got the goods at times I was gonna do the review of figs but I'd be obsessed not good ..
Her skill set/abilities make her seem a little like Domino.. pretty cool.

Loved her in IDW run you talking about . She alongside Alpine and Iceberg were on Snakeyes , "Team Foxtrot" 🔥
Always nice to add a female character to the classified series.... btw Zartan was the 1st "mutant" in the GI Joe line!
Ah, touche'
@@beesbattlegrounds at 1st i thought you were calling me a douche ..yeah Zartan, Zarana and Zandar are definitely not human!!!.... well Zarana and Zandar never change color on the cartoon!?
She has Mantis Blades which equals instant buy.
I think the band-aid on her arm is from the comic that tied in with the Rise Of Cobra video game.
glad they are adding newer figures to the line. ordered her from big bad toystore.
Badass addition ❤
Helix was actually my first Joe while I was in college
Dunno if Hasbro planned it or its just a well timed coincidence, but Helix popping on preorder when Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty came out was damn good. I dont really pay attention to Classified, but she definitely caught my eye with the mantis blades. Cant wait to do a 2077 repaint.
Nice review for a nice looking figure. I'm glad I'm not the only one wanting a Bomb Strike figure for classified.
Shell be coming too Im sure
If there was ever a time to include extra hands...this would be it. She definitely needed fist or something. I'm just glad we are getting more female joes.
I plan on seeing if any ML lady hands will work.
I have her on pre-order. Still showing as December for release date. They've been moving these up, so I am sure she'll release either mid November or near the end of November. She is one of the unknowns I actually want. She looks like a female done right.
She’s available now at Big Bad
I can’t wait to get the figure. Nice review. I wasn’t for sure when this character was created.
I saw a video of her profile and I immediately wanted an action figure of her. As soon as she's available I am getting at least two or three of her. The others will be for customizing.
I was going to grab her Fri but bugs sold out, now I have to wait for hasbro
Females are starting to feel complete, hooping for jinx, bomb strike and zanya.
She's an interesting character. Might need to pick her up along with that other sniper lady. 🔥🇺🇸👍
She has the band-aid on the covers of the Silent Option comics miniseries, but I never read that so unsure of the reasoning.
I figured Zartan qualifies as the first mutant
I like this one. Not really familiar with the comic run she came out, but the colors work and I am always up for female Joes.
Yup, she's a keeper. Good color scheme, nice variety of accessories, solid face and hair sculpt, and a stand-out feature to make her easily identifiable.
No clue who she is.
She's definitely being added to my 'mercs' shelf. 😈🍹
I'll pick her up if I find her. those mantis blades look badass.
She'll make a great Ninja April O'Neil custom once that head is removed.
Pre order waiting game..
A new era figure I am down for!
Just got her yesterday. I don't know her, but I'm always up for an interesting character. Shackles for the wrist swords were a little wonky, plus her left leg was bent out. Nothing that a little hot water couldn't fix. Very nice figure!
Check out JLS Comics on TH-cam! He does some solid videos about characters!
@@beesbattlegrounds I actually watched his rundown on Helix before I decided to grab her. I definitely appreciate the info though brother!
She's a great character in the comics. I think she might be autistic. And I would so want Barrel Roll, Bombstrike, their evil cobra sniper brother and dawn moreno. Bring them all. More than anything this is imo the best figure of the wave.
Awesome review. She has General Grievous vibes 😄

I just looked at the ROC figure. She doesn’t have thigh-high boots on, it’s upper calf boots and knee pads.
@@timvanboening9432 The paint of the boots, knee pads, and the sculpt above the knee pads are 99% black. I consider those thigh-highs with knee pads on them. Either way I prefer that to the roughly 60-40 black and grey of the Classified boots.
If I see her most definitely picking it up
Dope review as always. I'd love to see the Stall family in Classified.
Some other characters in the cartoons and comics had near or full blown clairvoyant abilities like Airbornes brother.
Mine just shipped!
It looks like the Mantis Blades wouldn't fit well on male figures to me.
So in the unlikely even they wanted to make a Razor Trooper they'd have to at least partially remould it perhaps.
But you never know maybe it might stretch a bit.
Im sticking to mostly ARAH cartoon but her arm blades made her an easy buy for me.
A first-rate review of Agent Helix and her cool accessories. Yes, I've preordered her.
Great review buddy!!
Good review .Badass character.
Looks great, I did a repaint of her variant artwork with red and tan “ Target employee “ , her ME figure has that band aid as well.
Mine came just this AM, haven’t unboxed her yet but another good review!
So she was rescued from Child Traffickers and then combats them later as an adult & I guess also rescues some more kids too..
You listening FINN from Star Wars hmmmm ?
Excited for her, and I would
Love the Stalls too
Yes I am picking her up.
Yea i remember her from the game. The mantis blades from cyberpunk are an interesting addition.
She is in the mail right now for me. DHL is slow as molasses with shipping, so I hope once USPS gets a hold of her she’ll zip through their system.

Hate to be obvious, but could the band-aid just mean she got a cut on her arm and put a band-aid on it?
Great review. I ordered her from bbts and hopefully arrives at the end of the week.
Yes, I pre-ordered her from the big "A"...Then, She showed up at BBTS...Then, Sold out!!!! I will just wait for the hopefully early arrival from the big "A". Anyways, Great looking figure!!! Really good in the comics...Thanks for the Great review!!! Peace!!!

I just made her good job

Already picked her up from BBTS. She'll be getting an expedited review. I'm a ARAH diehard, but I like these newer characters as well.
The bandage is for the mosquito bite😢
The joe team has been a lil lacking in female warriors, ill have her and Jodie shooter craig in hand this weekend and now the squad is complete
Damn this is out already? Wtf
Classified preorder dates have routinely been moved, this isn't exactly new information
@@beesbattlegrounds it’s not but my credit card bill is ridiculous. I’m hoping they chill out with moving this stuff up.
@@raypaz2947 They won't.
big bad toy store has her in stock
I wouldn’t say being able to keep track of round counts for everyone around you is a premonition ability. Seems more like an indicator for something else…
In the comics she had a borderline psychic "battle" sense
@@jonathanhernandez3292 you do get my reference don’t you?..
@@starlord157 Was that a comics reference? 😀

Guys are hawk or mutt gonna be available everywhere? Haven’t seen em up at Target or Walmart yet..
Now we need Pythona, Bushido, Raven, Globulus and Cobra Trooper Leila with sculpted blonde hair.
Easy pass. However, I'm an old guy that's only interested in the vintage characters. Glad to see Hasbro is willing to expand outside the ARAH line though.
I like her, but they could have done better with the hair in the face
When you're first, you're first.
I’m gonna pass on this one
