They look better than most of figures in the mainline. I’m probably getting two and mixing them in with the AF Desert squad I got going on. Definitely having the Infantry commando lead these guys
Waiting on Hasbro to ship mine. Can’t wait to get him. I agree with APWT that the Big Ben rifle is nice up to the double barrel. But you hit the nail on the head, this line is screaming for accessory packs - weapon packs, specialty troop pack (mortar, heavy gunner etc) and a bivouac kit.
Wow! You brought back a flood of memories, I had the same desert storm G.I. Joe. I had completely forgotten about that, thank you so much for bringing back great memories from my childhood!
I like him and his load out! But at the most I may go for two of these eventually😃😃 I am one of the ones who have this and the diver preorder for $25 each! I think they are going to honor it! Nice review✨✨✨✨✨✨
@@beesbattlegrounds yeah it totally is. This cashgrab doesn't offer anything that Valaverse hasn't been offering for 2 years now at lower prices with better quality control. G.I. Joe Classified is extremely poor value-for-money.
@@electricfootballhero1349 I forgot about the Valaverse modular vests and that they coined the look of the generic soldier. But you're welcome to believe what you want and buy what you want. I wonder what the 60th Anniversary is for then?
Good Review! I am waiting on 3 from Pulse. As far as the bulkiness of the kit kind of goes with the territory. Probably will need to position the arms forward a little bit. Definitely looking forward to getting mine. ✌🏽
I have him preordered on amazon. they have him listed for april but hasbro sometimes releases stuff earlier than listed dates so he could come in any time.
Great video🎉think it's cool how there mergeing the original action solders in to the classified line super excited about mine coming here in Tampa FL!!
@@beesbattlegrounds yeah it was dope! It had a water cooled machine gun. A torn up Japanese airplane wing and some mess hall accessories. Ik they had a multiple variations, it was called “Pearl Harbor collection”
Very exciting to see these are making their way out to customers. Generous amount of accessories. They didn't need to do multiple hands, should have just done full finger gloves, waist. Rock and roll legs, belt, holsters. Camo looks like it was done well. Thank you for the review.
I was quite excited for this one, Ive collected the original 60s 12 inch figures for a long time. I wish we would have gotten a few of them rereleased, but it is cool seeing a modern take on the Joe that started it all, and is responsible for the birth of all action figures. A lot of people don't know that the ARAH line with Cobra came nearly 20 years after Gi Joe was first produced and that Joe started its life as a fully posable 12 inch doll for boys.
So far I have 1 on preorder. I want to army build but won't have the budget for it until the Summer. So...if he sells out...oh well. I am not going to pay over-inflated costs after-market to army build.
I'm already all-in with Classified so this is icing. Another great review as always. Not troop building but will definitely enjoy the one. And sorry the Sailor wasn't your cup of tea. I quite like it
I actually like the Recon Diver better. I didn't pre-order this one. Honestly, I'm tired of desert figures. If they would have given him a woodland or multicam/scorpion camo color scheme, I would have pre-ordered him. I hate the double barrel AR. I know it's based on a real gun, but the real gun is just a novelty. The FN machine gun is solid. I already have the Gridiron loadout for Roadblock, so I'm not desperate for the M2HB. I don't care for the poncho either, but it's an extra so why not. The plate carrier is cool, and it'd be neat if Hasbro released some pouch packs. I'll pick one up eventually, but it's not something I have to have right away. As always, great review! I appreciate how you keep it short and to the point.
I wonder, does Grunt's Steel Brigade helmet fits on this guy? I've got four on pre-order -- I had six on order, but knocked it down a bit because I'm trying reign in the spending a bit.
I've never been interested in collecting anything GI Joe though I did like the show when I was a kid. After watching a few of your videos, I definitely want a few now. The ones I've seen on your videos are really great looking figures. Thanks.
I have a question/concern. Love the figure but why is the ammo belt so short? Like everyone i want thus figure to give that .50 cal to my Roadblock but i wish that ammo belt was a lot longer and more flexible so it would hang down instead of sticking out straight. The ammo belts for the 12" Joes i have actually can be linked together to make them longer. Wish these were that way...
These are probably my favourite figures. The only thing I would prefer is a different rifle (scar H or something) but that is an easy fix with valaverse weapons packs. I bought 6. 4 without the cloak, and 2 with to make a small team.
I'm definitely buying this no hesitation I'm a huge fan of realistic green military soldiers G.I. Joe figures can't pass this one. Awesome review as always YO JOE!
Are you able to hang the weapons on the pack pegs? Mine wasn’t able to and I feel like it was a miss since other figures can. Still purchased 3 of them tho and I’m happy with them. That’s my only complaint.
good review bro oh yeah, he looks good hooded and camouflaged... wow I agree, the side pouches need to go, I want him to stand straight I m going for 2, but, yeah, I d go for 4 if I could I like the idea of the US army involved in a script - story, more realistic I did nt see the diver yet here in Quebec, toys r us are usually those that would have it 1 rst went yesterday... nothing, picked Brody, & Belloq in white + agent Woo he s FBI, but I promoted him CIA to contact about Cobra activity to Hawk the infantry will probably be my only 60 th unless marine is just fab... so now you know... good show bro
First of this line of figures I've gotten. Just loved the accessories and overall look. But not a fan of how bent and flimsy the weapons look and feel, they also don't fit onto the pegs on the backpack which is a shame. Weapon storage is always a great feature with toys in general. I will say though, coming from collecting mostly Star Wars Black Series, the posability of these figures are great.
I'm on the fence about this and the Diver figure. I'm mostly thinking of using em for customs. The Diver is an easy V2 Snake Eyes, maybe a Dr. Fumbles, or the original one I was thinking about which was OG MW2 Gulag Mission Soap MacTavish. As for the infantry trooper, I think I'd just make a more modern take on Dusty. I don't hate the one we got, but he was one of a few figures who, IMO, was waaaaay to classic. I feel like right now they have the aesthetic perfect for the line, modern but enough of their classic design to make them distinctly the character. Dusty, Falcon and Spirit are the 3 that come to mind the most when I think 1:1 classic recreation. Not bad, but I'd prefer a more modern take on the Joes with this line, while still going full classic for the Retro Card line. Well that was kind of a tangent.
Target had a spend $75 save $20 toy deal this week. I picked up the soldier, sailor, and added a third figure I already had to get the deal, then returned the other figure at full price to make my after tax cost $25.52 each!
It was just a weird unwritten rule, we had rain jackets (wet weather gear) but the poncho could only be used for wrapping our gear and weapons. I think I only saw it worn one time by a crusty old Staff Sergeant
@@beesbattlegrounds yea I think your right I just got my three in. I like it tho. But it should match up well with the monster force multicam pattern. And other desert colors.
Too bad Hasbro didn't get permission for OCP, but it's overall a good figure still. Since they went out of their way to state it is "infantry," curious if they will do another MOS...
First, I want to apologize, this will be a long text. But how I feel about how lucky we are today Tell you what, we are so lucky rt. now if you’re a military action figure collector today. Don’t care what people say about Valaverse Action Force line up vs Hasbro .GI Joe Classified etc. For me I collect both. And what I see that is a massive win for all us collectors is how these 2 companies are competing against one another for the top dog of the military 6” action figure line up. To many people want to attack hasbro gi joe line and the others want to attack valaverse for his line up. Mean if it wasn’t for Valaverse doing what he is doing with his amazing real world military weapons, his figures with multiple hands, and a stand. We all remember what G.I. Joe figures look like when he first came out. Granted I still like them, but they were a little too kid friendly looking with some of their colors and less not forget those terrible Nerf looking weapons they gave us. Horrible. But they gave you a backpack and maybe a knife.. but they saw how action force was blowing up. Hasbro changed a lot in our lineup. Now they offer almost the same amount as Valaverse does. Granted he still does offer a lot more than them on a regular basis at no premium pricing. But still, Hasbro has been knocking out out of the park lately with G.I Joe. I just wish they changed their plastic on some of their stuff, for instance, they’re guns. So gummy and a lot of times bent. Still in my eyes it’s a massive win win for all us military 6” collectors. So people need to get off this hating on one company over the other when it comes to the 6” military line. Rt. Now let them keep fighting for our $ and top dog status. As long as we keep getting amazing figures in both lines, with crazy accurate looking weapons, extra hands, a lot more gear, stand etc., etc. Bring it on.
picked up 3 each and its good to see someone actually know what they are talking about besides asking viewers for the info , also glad you called it a mag and not a damn clip like some of these DAs , being prior military it irritates the hell out of me to hear the word clip.
Yeah, as real world as it may be, the double-barreled M4 is lame. I got mine with Big Ben and I'm seriously thinking about cutting them off and in drill for a single barrel. Besides the Grunt M-16, you could also use the "stubby" M4 from Outback.
Eh I think its all personal preference. The AF stuff is just the same over and over, which just gets "meh" after a while. If the modular vest stuff holds up, it'll be interstate to see where it goes
I think this is very comparable to the deluxe sniper Blowback & blows all of the reg figs out of the water. $35 vs $55 Blowback. I was considering picking up then sniper Blowback, but this just squashed all of that. Once again, great review Bee!
that doubl barreled ar bugs the crap out of me. it feels like a craptcular scifi gun you'd see on a cobra fig. its also really dispionting to see the guns are that same crummy gummy plastic.
These anniversary figures will be my first passes. I just want the actual Gi joe characters. And I hate to say it, but valaverse blowback sniper looks better than this.
My only real complaint with this guy is I wish they had given him a different rifle. I *really* don't like that goofy double barrel AR. I didn't like it with Big Ben and I still don't like it here. I ended up giving this guy the tan-ish M-16 that came with retro Scarlett.
*** Rock n Roll Legs, not roadblock ***
Doc has someone to carry his stretcher now I guess.
"The piece that everyone's been waiting for..." Truer words, my friend, truer words.
Got two Action Soldiers for the $25 BBTS mess up price. Pretty happy.
looks great. ordered a couple each of these guys. the soft goods piece reminds me of Homer's mumu
They look better than most of figures in the mainline. I’m probably getting two and mixing them in with the AF Desert squad I got going on. Definitely having the Infantry commando lead these guys
Gotta get 4. Need a fire team of these
I ordered multiples of both 60th anniversary figures through BBTS with the pricing errors, and yes they honored them.
Same.
Joel does seem to be great guy hes a retailer that should get more business for good business practices.
How much was it? Just curious
Waiting on Hasbro to ship mine. Can’t wait to get him. I agree with APWT that the Big Ben rifle is nice up to the double barrel. But you hit the nail on the head, this line is screaming for accessory packs - weapon packs, specialty troop pack (mortar, heavy gunner etc) and a bivouac kit.
Wow! You brought back a flood of memories, I had the same desert storm G.I. Joe. I had completely forgotten about that, thank you so much for bringing back great memories from my childhood!
I like him and his load out!
But at the most I may go for two of these eventually😃😃
I am one of the ones who have this and the diver preorder for $25 each!
I think they are going to honor it! Nice review✨✨✨✨✨✨
They honored the price for me so they should do the same for you
Lucky I passed on these dude s lol
Definitely a shot at valaverse but its pretty cool with the acessories i may pick one up
Is it though? It's a call back to a regular "Joe" and everyone's been wanting "good guy" troop builders for a hot minute now
@@beesbattlegrounds you lose me when you say everybody since you dont know that .
Oh, "A lot of people"
@@beesbattlegrounds yeah it totally is. This cashgrab doesn't offer anything that Valaverse hasn't been offering for 2 years now at lower prices with better quality control. G.I. Joe Classified is extremely poor value-for-money.

I think the legs are Rock’n Rolls legs actually. Could be wrong.
Did I mix up roadblock? They are Rock and Rolla
Good Review!
I am waiting on 3 from Pulse.
As far as the bulkiness of the kit kind of goes with the territory. Probably will need to position the arms forward a little bit.
Definitely looking forward to getting mine.
✌🏽
I have him preordered on amazon. they have him listed for april but hasbro sometimes releases stuff earlier than listed dates so he could come in any time.
Great video🎉think it's cool how there mergeing the original action solders in to the classified line super excited about mine coming here in Tampa FL!!
I had that AT4 figure too lol thats the era that I also started receiving Joes. I always remember this old 12” Pearl Harbor set I got for christmas.
I remember that one in the TRU Christmas catalog!!
@@beesbattlegrounds yeah it was dope! It had a water cooled machine gun. A torn up Japanese airplane wing and some mess hall accessories. Ik they had a multiple variations, it was called “Pearl Harbor collection”

I pre-ordered a set of 4, 3 to army build and one to use his vest and accessories for kitbashing
Great review. I have 2 ordered from EE with the price error. Hopefully they don’t cancel.
Dang! Ma Deus looks sweet! I’m kind of interested. More so just out of curiosity. Maybe one to play around with looks.
I’ve been waiting for this video. I need a couple of these guys.

My 3 will be in Monday or Tuesday. And my 3 vamps ship out Tuesday also
These dudes look good. Waiting on mine from Amazon any day now
Sweet!! BBTS fulfilled the error price orders , yay ! , great review!!
I wonder, does Grunt's Steel Brigade helmet fits on this guy? I've got four on pre-order -- I had six on order, but knocked it down a bit because I'm trying reign in the spending a bit.
I'll have to try it out
Very good video. Thank you for sharing.
A first-rate review of Action Soldier and his awesome accessories!
Great stuff as always, my friend.

Great review! I’m going really excited for this guy due to the variations and kit bash potential. I’ve got six preordered.
He looks great! 👌🏼🙌🏼👍🏻
Looks awesome
I wonder if Hasbro will release a simpler version of this guy just with basic accessories as a more affordable army builder?
Ooooh that looks good 🔥🔥🔥
That Infantry Soldier looks awesome
I have a question/concern. Love the figure but why is the ammo belt so short? Like everyone i want thus figure to give that .50 cal to my Roadblock but i wish that ammo belt was a lot longer and more flexible so it would hang down instead of sticking out straight.

I wonder if the Marine and Pilot will get made?
They're rumored to be coming late Summer
Are you able to hang the weapons on the pack pegs? Mine wasn’t able to and I feel like it was a miss since other figures can. Still purchased 3 of them tho and I’m happy with them. That’s my only complaint.
Where did you get the Hesko baskets from? "Bee's" something in the back.
A buddy made them for me, they're just folded cardboard
The LMG is based on an FN Minimi...so basically the European version of the M249 SAW.
Hey bee great review! 👍 Is the set an Amazon exclusive? Also did you show the black head and hands that came with the set or did I miss that?
I do towards the beginning and it's available every where
good review bro
oh yeah, he looks good
hooded and camouflaged... wow
I agree, the side pouches need to go, I want him to stand straight
I m going for 2, but, yeah, I d go for 4 if I could
I like the idea of the US army involved in a script - story, more realistic
I did nt see the diver yet here in Quebec, toys r us are usually those that would have it 1 rst
went yesterday... nothing, picked Brody, & Belloq in white + agent Woo
he s FBI, but I promoted him CIA to contact about Cobra activity to Hawk
the infantry will probably be my only 60 th
unless marine is just fab...
so now you know...
good show bro
What is the scale of these new Joes?
I’ve preordered 17 Action Soldiers so far and will be getting more!
Thank you😺
Awesome looking figure 👍👍👍👍

Roadblock so much better the proper gun. I know they're doing a retro version with the tiger force version backpack eventually
Does the vest inhibits his ab crunch?

Well that was kind of a tangent.
What are the pegs on the sides of the backpack for? I can't figure it out
It holds the weapons, peg goes through the trigger guard
That’s the gun we should have gotten with Roadblock.
Target had a spend $75 save $20 toy deal this week. I picked up the soldier, sailor, and added a third figure I already had to get the deal, then returned the other figure at full price to make my after tax cost $25.52 each!
Why were not allowed to wear the pancho?
Mr Bee, any idea which classified figures come with grenade ?
The Retro Snake Eyes
Thought they shipped on the 14th??
From Pulse maybe, this isn't an exclusive
Why weren't you allowed to wear the poncho?
It was just a weird unwritten rule, we had rain jackets (wet weather gear) but the poncho could only be used for wrapping our gear and weapons. I think I only saw it worn one time by a crusty old Staff Sergeant
@@beesbattlegrounds Got it
Probably get a few eventually.
So the camo does it look like multicam/ocp? Or at least similar colorway?
Kind of, but looks more like their own thing
@@beesbattlegrounds yea I think your right I just got my three in. I like it tho. But it should match up well with the monster force multicam pattern. And other desert colors.
Nice! I’d rather buy this than the TF 2-pack Roadblock.
Too bad Hasbro didn't get permission for OCP, but it's overall a good figure still. Since they went out of their way to state it is "infantry," curious if they will do another MOS...
Agh don't have the money for them yet want them three each of all four for variety and mint in box
The Action Soldier would be a great base for a greenshirt.
It’s definitely warped
Thanks valaverse for pushing hasbro
I guess that argument can be made, but you could also say how the line wasn't exactly shooting for the stars until after those Movie figures
Gonna get him but sell off most of the accessories like the poncho and probably the maduse
I cannot WAIT for my marine.
They aren’t going to be released for a while. (Yes, I’m a couple months late).
@@betaswitch1 it’s all good yea I saw the news said it was next wave.
Man it’s gone be good times when this baby hits Ross 😂👍🏾

This looks more like a Valaverse figure
They're called rucksacks!
That big gun is warped looking in many places wth...
It would be cool if they included a boonie hat.
Yeah, as real world as it may be, the double-barreled M4 is lame. I got mine with Big Ben and I'm seriously thinking about cutting them off and in drill for a single barrel.
Besides the Grunt M-16, you could also use the "stubby" M4 from Outback.
Definitely the better of the two. He looks good. Would have been better with a single barrel rifle.
Strange he never came with a Knife!
Oh boy can’t what to pick it up at Ross for 10 dollars
“Invisible lat syndrome” lmao 😅
eh Hasbro is somewhat trying here i guess. can't beat valaverse unfortunately. $35 can do better.
Eh I think its all personal preference. The AF stuff is just the same over and over, which just gets "meh" after a while. If the modular vest stuff holds up, it'll be interstate to see where it goes
I think this is very comparable to the deluxe sniper Blowback & blows all of the reg figs out of the water. $35 vs $55 Blowback. I was considering picking up then sniper Blowback, but this just squashed all of that. Once again, great review Bee!

Not impressed by the weapons it comes with. Will have to replace them with some Gridiron studio weapons!
4 for a squad lol
It’s imaginary lat syndrome, not invisible 😂😂😂
Im not sure I like him.
My only real complaint with this guy is I wish they had given him a different rifle.
I *really* don't like that goofy double barrel AR. I didn't like it with Big Ben and I still don't like it here.
I ended up giving this guy the tan-ish M-16 that came with retro Scarlett.
Not a bad swap!
