A testament to how well the 70s-2000s toy makers did their job; all these years later those kids are still buying the toys! I actually feel for todays kids who are missing out on hands-on play and using their imagination.
This is why I still collect the line because they started doing older nostalgia figures if not for this I would have just stuck with my 3" figures and been happy . Now with this and my hiss tanks cobra will be a force to be recon with . I May start posting up some future videos soon again and playing with my collect :-) .
Looks great! I went to a vintage toy con yesterday and bought a 1986 Serpentor with Air Chariot. I wasn't planning on buying vintages Joes (or Cobras), but I couldn't resist this one.
Phew, I'm so glad you're unboxing this! I watched your hunt video and thought you were leaving it in the box, which would be super depressing, especially with no window. I just got my shipping notice for this and Mindbender.
I’m a new subscriber. What a really good review ..I just got mine this year 2023. I opened it up right away put it all together. Going to buy another one to keep in the box because it is so cool. You probably already have done it, push down on the sides not on the head of the cobra and it’ll pop in a second time and you won’t have that gap it’ll be flush.
Great review Jay and enjoyed watching your hunt for this too. I wasn’t impressed with the GI Joe Classified line at first but they’ve won me over with more recent figures like this. I finally managed to track one of these down and also have started to catch up on some of the older figures I missed out on.
This line is only three years old?? i am so relieved. i JUST started collecting these figures and was worried about missing out. i thought i was, like, a decade late.
Hey Jay I just got my email from Hasbro pulse they are getting ready to ship my suppentor I am very excited. I enjoyed your video so serpenter is one of my favorite figures from back in my childhood. I remember holding the box on the way home from the store I believe we got it at Kmart or maybe Hills, but holding the box and looking at the artwork the front the back I was so excited my grandmother got it for me and she told me I can't open it until I get home due to losing parts in the car. I remember getting home taking him out of the box putting the air Chariot together and just having a high old time reenacting scenes from the cartoon making my own adventures. I can't wait to get the classified version of serpentor just to relive that experience. I enjoyed your video it's great seeing that there's still a passion for GI Joe so many years later from our childhood. Thank you for everything you do it's always a pleasure watching you on TH-cam. Have a good day.
So happy for you Jay I missed the live but he looks neat! I cant wait to get mine I'm going to display him with the second cobra head piece and back! He looks like the best figure they made so far!❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨
I’m definitely getting it for my Gijoe classified series collection to display with Cobra forces but that cobra snake accessory is supposed to be Cobra Commander as a snake from the movie this I command
Its funny I don't see it that way, the colours are not right, and the Hasbro GI Joe team didn't mention it on the livestream (Pulse Con) they just said it was his PET King Cobra. But LOTS of people will use this as their stand in Cobra Commander Transformed. Totally expecting people to re-colour him as well.
This looks really good and I'm a big fan of Serpentor but have a hard time justifying $80 for this. Especially since all the other vehicle packs were just $40.
It is strange that this figure is so popular, I was born in 1978 and gi joe was my thing! Serpentor wasn’t a figure I liked ! Cobra was always the big guy to me in the 80’s
If you were a fan of the cartoon and followed the journey to "BUILD" Serpentor it was quite the series and introduced Sgt. Slaughter so really made those two rivals SUPER popular!
I wasn't planning to get this since I missed the preorders, but I did a random search on GameStop and found that some stores near me were carrying it in stock. The first store I went to had sold out of it, but the second one had it. The price still grinds my gears, but it's still cheaper than getting it from Hasbro Pulse or eBay so I took the plunge. I can't go any higher, though. Just can't do it.
Looking forward to mine arriving. I hope you don't mind but I gave you a shout out 20 minutes after you posted online your find on Infinity Equation on Friday. Cool fig indeed...🐍🐍🐍🏅🏅🏅😁
Great review, beautiful figure cannot wait to receive The 4 that I ordered 2 of which was ordered 1st round which is coming the end of this month and the other 2 I ordered the 2nd round At 80A piece Free shipping cause of pulse premium membership but Just brilliant absolutely gorgeous figure
They should've given you extra hands opposed to the standard cowl that kills the head articulation. It bothers me seeing trigger hands being used to hold anything that isn't a gun.
Awesome review! Just curious you mentioned heating up the Serpentor because of the joints were stiff. Is this something you would normally do with your new figures?
Basically if you feel stiffness or like something is "torquing" the peg/ball and not actually rotating on it heat it up. I recommend microwaving a cup of water 3 to 5. Dip for a few moments. Try to move the joint. If it moves correctly you're good to go. If not rinse and repeat.
@@wwefan4life274 no prob! Some use a hair dryer but you got to be real careful depending on the hair dryer. Some of those things get insanely hot and can warp plastic. I've done it lol. Good for stress cracks though.
Thanks Meg, I originally ordered two from Hasbro Pulse, I've since cancelled the 1st one after finding this one in the wild, and waiting on the one from HP. I like to open one and keep one in box
Congrats! Glad you got what you like! Different strokes for different folks, I would never knock someone for what they collect! But for me I’m not a fan
You could have ordered it off Ebay 2 months ago for $150, and some were a little more expensive(and alot more expensive!)but, it was possible. But, somehow you probably knew that already, huh?
I don’t know what it is but they loose something when they are enlarged from 3.75! I can’t put my finger on it but I have never liked action figures over 3.75
It's a new scale, and its not for everyone. Playsets and vehicles are becoming an issue for sure. But Larger scale means more detail and grown up hands are bigger than kids hands 😜
In this case, its an exclusive and if something missing you can call Hasbro direct and get a replacement, but yeah I am NOT a fan of Plastic Free Packaging. I mean, the toys are MADE of PLASTIC lol.
Collecting action figures and watching these videos are a form of blasphemy, witchcraft and idolatry. If you're triggered by what he's saying, then you probably shouldn't be watching TH-cam, Streaming videos, Netflix, Amazon etc or any other media. Just saying, hypocrisy is a sin too...
@@exoticcarfactsofficialchan7050 don't be presumptuous that Jay doesn't want to be a more polite human being that cares for other's feelings, respects others religious beliefs like a true Canadian.
@@exoticcarfactsofficialchan7050 from my understanding collecting toys is not a sin, nor is videos blasphemy/witchcarft. Idolatry is worshiping something other than God aswell as that one thing being the center of your life, what you think about and love the most. And you can 100% watch youtube as long as you watch something that isnt against God. Not triggered it just erks me when I hear it, im not calling names or being rude. Triggered is getting angry and rude at somebody because they are offended. Hope this helps you understand :)
Even at a larger scale, the simplicity of the chariot still has the ease in holding it, excellent work by Hasbro
Toy makers in the 70s-2000s: Kids are gonna love these.
Toy makers in the 2010-20??: Adults are gonna love these. 😄
Funny how that works

Hasbro knocking it out of the park for nostalgic collectors again
Congratulations on the Find!!! Good unboxing and review video!!!
Looks great!

He's worth the wait!
this fig/chariot are 🔥 ordered 2 and just opened one and put it together ❤️

Salamat Pare! Cobra lalalalalalalala
Great review! Thanks for sharing............Also, nice Cool Device DVD boxed set.
Thank you!
Lenny did a great job designing this thing.
A first-rate review of Serpentor, his air chariot, and his cool accessories!
I just got Sgt. Slaughter today! I can't wait to get Serpentor too! #SunbowFan4Life!
Congrats Jay! Serpentor and his Air Chariot look great. Don't forget that there are also two fangs that come down in the head of the Chariot🙂
Yup everyone tells me since I missed it lol 😅GeekProud

THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing those memories! Dude that really touched me! Especially LOOSING accessories in the car 😭
So happy for you Jay I missed the live but he looks neat! I cant wait to get mine I'm going to display him with the second cobra head piece and back! He looks like the best figure they made so far!❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨
You won't regret the wait Nora! He's amazing!
This figure is very cool..can't wait for the 1/6 scale version from Mondo 👏🤣
lol
Awesome review!! Let’s hope Hasbro does a Pythona. She would look great next to Serpentor
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
You gotta keep pushing (use you thumb on the square in the front) to get the front of the Air Chariot, it will go in so it's flush
Yeah I did that off camera thanks!
I really like your reviews and reactions toward this I personally am a fan of Joe's
Serpentor would have been the perfect name for King Hiss.
lol NICE!
Missed on this sadly😭 Hasbro pulse is the only place I know of that's carrying it stateside
Hope you have another chance brother!
I’m definitely getting it for my Gijoe classified series collection to display with Cobra forces but that cobra snake accessory is supposed to be Cobra Commander as a snake from the movie this I command

It looks gorgeous!
Very cool. Can't wait to get mine.
Serpentor and Mindbender both on the way. I am super stoked. Great review man!
I think that was the sword of Hammurabi that he was searching for in an episode
WOW Thanks for the info
Great review I’m going to use the cobra as Cobra Commander once a man😂
OH YES THE SPORES!!!
This figure is definitely one to have on display to really appreciate it but also would be cool to have MOC if you were lucky to get two.
I think u were like all of us and got harder than ever when we saw this.
@@sithlord519 lol
Thanks @WWEFan4Life yeah got a 2nd one on the way for just that reason!
Awesome toys collection
This looks really good and I'm a big fan of Serpentor but have a hard time justifying $80 for this. Especially since all the other vehicle packs were just $40.
Badass hope to also see him in Super7 ReAction Style to go with Galvatron🐍
Great review

Add a vintage Heman battle axe instead of the lame sword ,would make the perfect Skullsplitter from the episode my favorite things
Paint apps on staff would've been nice
Got serpentor and mindbender on round 2 pre order wasn't sure if I was going to keep serpentor this helps to see what I'm paying for

Totally agree! Congratz Brother!
I miss the old blueprints
They should've given you extra hands opposed to the standard cowl that kills the head articulation. It bothers me seeing trigger hands being used to hold anything that isn't a gun.
Yeah the sword doesn't sit well either.
Wonder if they will do a cobra la set? That would be super awesome
I hope they reissue him and Dr Mindbender for us regular plebians some day. I am NOT paying scalper prices.
In the usa that price would have just about cover the cost for two of them... I paid $160
Yeah Exchange Rates SUCK up here in Canada 😭

@@AnimalTTC ok good to know about the hair dryer . Thanks!
Did you figure out the fangs on the cobra chariot?
Cam we get a print of that artwork, and a shirtless version of Serpentor? He looks awesome in that artwork.
TOTALLY Agree!
Just curious, why'd you order a couple of Serpentors from Hasbro Pulse instead of just one or two?
Thanks Meg, I originally ordered two from Hasbro Pulse, I've since cancelled the 1st one after finding this one in the wild, and waiting on the one from HP. I like to open one and keep one in box
Congrats! Glad you got what you like! Different strokes for different folks, I would never knock someone for what they collect! But for me I’m not a fan
Was there supposed to be a stand
No Will, no stand as far as I know.
The belts crooked!! Does it move?
I think its not crooked, I think the Ball Joint is in a slightly different position. All I really need to do is move it
The air chariot snake head has drop down fangs.
Yup everyone tells me since I missed it lol 😅
The Air Chariot Cobra Head has Teeth that Fold Out
Yup everyone tells me since I missed it lol 😅GeekProud
you know his fangs comje down on the chariot
So plastic free?? I see a ton of plastic! So they got rid of the plastic so you can’t see the figure but it is still inside a ton of plastic???
EXCATLY!!!
I just can’t get with 6inch figures! I’m a modern 3.75 Star Wars guy and I honestly think a lot of the faces look better in 3.75!
The head could have been different
Yeah, but there is a swappable extra
As cool as this is, I can’t help but think they skimped out on using metallic gold paint.
It's there but very slight.
Looks like 50 caliber machine guns
Yup maybe even bigger!
Indiana Jones hates this video. 🐍
eh?
@@megajayretro Indiana Jones hate snakes 🥸
All it needs is a flight stand.
Lol. That’s what “he” said? What a minute! Lol. Definitely, not for kids.
Yup That's What HE Said!
You could have ordered it off Ebay 2 months ago for $150, and some were a little more expensive(and alot more expensive!)but, it was possible. But, somehow you probably knew that already, huh?
Yup, and I won't pay $150 for a $80 US fig / $130 CAN retail figure.
Thee is no reason WHY this toy cost that much. Hasbro really got us by our balls... :(
I don’t know what it is but they loose something when they are enlarged from 3.75! I can’t put my finger on it but I have never liked action figures over 3.75
It's a new scale, and its not for everyone. Playsets and vehicles are becoming an issue for sure. But Larger scale means more detail and grown up hands are bigger than kids hands 😜
this nw packagin sucks...you literally have to go through every ince, nook, cranny in the box to make sure u have everything
In this case, its an exclusive and if something missing you can call Hasbro direct and get a replacement, but yeah I am NOT a fan of Plastic Free Packaging. I mean, the toys are MADE of PLASTIC lol.
This figure sells for $100 and in reality it's a $40 figure. Typical Hasbro price gouging their customers.
you have cool vids, but You say the Lords name in vain every other second, I may have to mute the vids while watching or watch some one elses.
Agreed
Please say o my gosh
How about golly gee wilikers gosh darn, was that too much for you guys?

Is worth $130 plus tax Canadian?
For Me Peter, yes... But its is still an OUCH moment when I clicked OK on the Debit machine. Still been wanting Serpentor forever!
hi~ Mega- you did useufl . have a good day!😊
