I'm definitely getting at least one of these guys. Might pick up more depending how he looks with the Monster Force sleepwalkers. His uniform looks like it would work well with them.
Great review. I was on the fence on wanting to buy them but now I might grab at least 2. They work better as elite troopers in the same vein as the Crimson Guards and yeah that double barrel assault rifle with the flimsy grip piece is abysmal. I'm also not a fan of Big Ben's weapons and prefer they had their own unique weapon molds although the gold painted blaster from Destro makes sense. I might order a couple of G3 SMPs from Gridiron for a better alternative as it matches with their sleek black uniforms.
I have 5 in my pile of loot. They where a favorite of mine as a kid even though I only had one. I plan on equipping them with some MP5 SD Submachine-Guns from gridiron or someone.
Awesome stuff. I really love the look of this one as it reminds me of the Convention offering. Really looking forward to the eventual retro release as well.
I picked up one of these, but I'm undecided if I want more. I think one commanding several BATS is what I'll stick with. It looks okay as an officer or honor guard, but as regular infantry it's a bit much. I would have preferred a toned down, more vintage look. I have to admit, this is one time I agree with you on the Pursuit of Cobra figures. I usually don't care for that line, but those IGs look awesome! One more thing, I wish Hasbro would lose that weapon mold! I'm so sick of those Big Ben guns, especially that absolutely stupid Gilboa AR. It's like they've fell into the Valaverse loop, of just using the same old guns over and over.
Solid review. Solid figure. I would have liked the mouth piece on the gas mask to protrude a bit more. Looks like Pimp Daddy Destro head and Twilight Guard Cape slapped on one of these Iron Grenadiers pretty much gives you that Iron Grenadier Destro.
With the SAW Viper coming whenever it does I'd put money on the heavy weapons Iron Grenadier being on Hasbro's shortlist. Its too easy to reuse the parts
@@starlord157 he looks like he's filling the role of a machine gunner with the backpack ammo ammo box and armor. That's why I'd expect reuse from those parts
@@beesbattlegrounds yeah agreed there, but the heavy Iron Grenadier seems pretty similar and get that auto cannon/alien smart gun looking weapon with the armor set the SAW Viper makes the most sense to me. Sounds like. Fun custom to make too now that you mention it.
I’m so sick of that Big Ben load out I have a whole drawer in my extra accessories tackle box full of them there cool guns but damn let’s switch it up a little bit. Let’s get that M16 that came with grunt and scarlet a little more or something….anyways lol he looks great! I got 3 of them coming I know some people aren’t feeling it but I really like the redeco of the characters
@ yes and they should be in bound in the week or so Bee. Now I gotta decide if I’m gonna break open my boxed destroy to pop onto one of these since you showed that change up 😂 I have one unboxed but that’s my classic destro and I have the for profit one too I could use I guess for that bash up
I just saw 2 of these guys at Target Today. I've already got him preordered from Amazon and not in a big hurry, but he's definitely getting out there now.
After my time collecting. I like Destro as an arms dealer more than military leader. He should definitely have his own body guard tho ..
Sergeant Major is his main bodyguard and the first Iron Grenadier of Destro’s army.

They should all match up nicely

Definitely looking like the con set. I wish they went with a "Classified" design that was more on the Tactical side of things
Until recently I always said 'Iron Gren-ADE-EE-ER"
Great review I do not do a lot of Classified but I got this one

You dont like other Pursuit of Cobra designs??
@@beesbattlegrounds not many of them. I'm an old guy from the ARAH era. Some of them it's not so much the designs, as it is the execution.
I’ll get one and use him as my Sergeant Major. Hopefully they’ll make a retro IG, and they can be my standard trooper
Aaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh 🏴☠️ 🏴☠️ 🏴☠️ 🔥🔥🔥
Liking the Destro head swap. Makes him look more modern and less pimp daddy.
Pursuit of Cobra grenadiers and Destro are the best figures Hasbro has ever released.
Hopefully we get gold mask destro soon with soft good cape and chromed head!
This is a great video!

I'll have to piece that together!
Never seen them Pursuit of Cobra versions where they exclusive or something? They look amazing lol. Maybe get them from a re-tooled Saw Viper?
They were "mainline" in the early 2010s Pursuit of Cobra was a great line!
With the SAW Viper coming whenever it does I'd put money on the heavy weapons Iron Grenadier being on Hasbro's shortlist. Its too easy to reuse the parts
The saw viper looks like a normal viper… is he supposed to be the heavy weapons version?
I can see them (and customizers) doing that
To me, the Saw Viper just seems like a slimmer Juggernaut style Trooper

doesnt have that full black look of the OG iron grenadier. will wait for the retro release
About the weapons .....Gi joe and Cobra have the same weapons ...So who is supplying who ...
Destro is definitely playing both sides 💰
Great figure review 🫡 kool looking figure overall but I’d pick them up only if they come on sale so until then I’m being picky & passing
Loved the video. Thinking of getting a couple as Destro's personal guard.
The Nullifiers were Destro's bodyguards. I'm sure we'll get those as individual figures.

I like the retro as troopers, but these make fine officers
Very nice fine, you def showcase the old to new so well in this figure review. Never had these in earlier versions
Great review
Are you going to be picking up an IG?
@ yes and they should be in bound in the week or so Bee. Now I gotta decide if I’m gonna break open my boxed destroy to pop onto one of these since you showed that change up 😂 I have one unboxed but that’s my classic destro and I have the for profit one too I could use I guess for that bash up
I give this guys the cobra island viper riffle to match his sci fi destro weapons , make sense for mars industries experimental weapons
I like that idea!
A great review of the Iron Grenadier and his cool accessories!
Interesting 🤔
He looks solid but the weapon choices though 🙄
Anyways nice review 🎉
I don't like the skirt. It looks fine, but it'll really affect poseability, I would think.
It does a bit, but I don't see the IG needing to do a full split 😂
Bbts u goth him from Bobby? When if you do not mind sir,they hit my card for alpine not the rest ,so i was just seeing,and punk toys got him also
Yes these came from BBTS, I think they got them in late last week
No love for Metal Head?
I forgot he was an IG too!
@@beesbattlegrounds BANG!!! ha, ha!
Should have put the pimp daddy Destro's head on instead of the silver one.
@@robertott9083 I'm sure we'll be seeing an IG Destro very soon
Looks great! Looking forward to getting this one!
I thought he was just "okay" from pictures and videos, but in hand I really like them
Great review. Hopefully more places get this wave soon. No luck at Walmarts near me. So far, this looks like the best of the wave to me.
My walmarts just got the Quick Kick wave 😅
I just saw 2 of these guys at Target Today. I've already got him preordered from Amazon and not in a big hurry, but he's definitely getting out there now.
