GI Joe Classified Rock N Roll ?

/ articulatedninja

[@Gnomenutz]

You are so right about him and Trigger, they make a good team. I have been looking forward to Rock N Roll, he was one of my favorite Joes as a kid.

[@JayWoods483]

Thanks for the video Articulated. When Hasbro decides to apply effort towards craftmanship, they can do a pretty decent job.

[@thegillman777]

Really excited for this one. I’m old AF, so he reminds me of the old 12” Joes I had in the mid-70’s

[@cyberfrank-bx2nv]

exactly my feeling for most of the 82 crew - team.
I get this same vibe too.

[@Shay_What]

Just found your channel today, and my man I am an instant fan! Hands down some of the best TH-cam content I've come across in minute!! The OG '82 Rock N Roll was my first Joe, and man were my parents pissed that although I loved all of my Star Wars figures that they had gotten me, GI Joe blew those out of the water!

[@banzaibobA7V]

My favourite thing to do with Classified figures is replace the weapons with Valaverse guns. It pulls the figure up a level with minimal effort.

[@ArticulatedNinja]

True

[@LaserPants]

This is the only one from the wave I want. He looks really dope

[@boriicuashortiix]

This figure does actually look awesome, great job as always for bringing this figure to life !

[@nottopgoon5773]

Dude it’s so good to see Classified stepping it up. Honestly I’m really waiting on that SAS Ben figure and that scuba diver.
Another awesome video again though bro. I’d love to make my own figure channel soon.

[@ArticulatedNinja]

NTG in the building don't rush It will happen when it's suppose to.

[@_Kimberlin]

I agree with almost everything you said (they are definitely beard brothers lol) but the M60 Rock n Roll comes with is perfect for him as it still saw use in the early 2000s and fits him being an “older weapon” with him being an OG13 Joe.

[@ncopictures7182]

Cool seeing you like an OG 1982 Joe member. RetroBlasting shall be proud! Personally, I think the best good guy in the line is still Stalker, also an OG from '82, but both do an amazing job replicating the characters in their own way. Stalker is more faithful to the vintage figure whilst Rock n Roll is kind of a mix of all his toy appearances from what I have seen.
Edit; Rock n Roll head + Cap's body = Steve Rogers if he was in 'Nam.

[@christophermoody6840]

The Tats are a bit much. Look like they're making him look like Zak Wylde or something.

[@ncopictures7182]

@@christophermoody6840 I don't even think Rock n Roll had tattoos back in the vintage era, but after having read the comics it MOSTLY fits him to have some.

[@BigFrankieC]

I'm using a Marvel Legends WWII Captain America maskless head for my Classified Lt. Falcon. Gear him up with my ValaVerse Crimson Arsenal, and suddenly, Falcon's a rockstar.
I also used some of the VV Declassified gear kit for Gung Ho, and that made a world of difference.
I then used the armored vest from Gung Ho, the head from my Marvel Legends War Machine, and some Crimson Armory weapons to make the "Heavy Artillery" Roadblock into a Classified scale Major Earl "Bulletproof" Morris.
When I get the VV weapons kit with the minigun, then the Cobra Island Roadblock becomes Heavy Duty.
Some Marvel Legends figures that work extremely well with the Joes are Erik Killmonger in his military gear, Crossbones from the Civil War 2-pack… really a lot of the MCU characters.
I love combining characters and parts from Action Force, Classified, Marvel Legends, WWE Elite, and Star Wars Black.
Also, the different McFarlane DC Batcycles make perfect bikes for this scale, since actual 1:12 scale bikes are a tad too small.

[@Cincinnatis5StarBarber]

My first ever Joe in ‘82 was Rock N Roll, so i can’t wait for this whole wave to arrive🔥🔥🔥

[@scubapete9500]

Loved it Ninja! Rock-n-Roll is a beast! Popping his head on Duke just makes that fig for sure. 👍😎

[@wilfredodiaz8743]

I agree with you, he looked amazing when I first saw him and thought he would be bad ass to own. I'm hoping when I get mines the paint application won't be so bad, that would suck. Thanks for sharing your video with us 👏🤘

[@gmjr30]

Amazing presentation as always! Im glad he actually...ROCKS!!!

[@yojoejerk]

Amazing Editing and a great video.

[@trustarscreamer]

Damn that montage...pics and editing at an epic level...After Falcon, it is great seeing the quality step up again.

[@whitefriarnerd]

I hope this is a sign they have their QC issues under control, or at the very least improving. He does look amazing though, definitely going to get him.

[@curseoffenrir]

Beard brothers! As a beard brother myself, I gotta say beard bros are my favorite characters, especially the gingerocalypse brothers. When Valaverse makes an M-60 I’ll be all over it for Rock n’ Roll!

[@ArticulatedNinja]

Yea they need a m60 hopefully we get one soon

[@sirt3abaggins]

Definitely fitting him out with a Valaverse chest rig and once it releases that minigun

[@Rastaphibian]

Dig those beers 🍻 and beards!! Bob and Doug know how to party! 😂

[@ArticulatedNinja]

🤣 ayyeee good eye

[@miragebangbravern2024]

Damn, a Queen's Blade Branwen figure? Man of culture

[@ArticulatedNinja]

🤣 ayyyeeee you knew 🔥🔥👌🏽 I see you

[@miragebangbravern2024]

@@ArticulatedNinja Was a fan of the series you see (⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)

[@stevewegling8070]

Articulated ninja, this was a must get figure. When this wave went up Rock N Roll and Scrap Iron had the most promise to me. Sculpt, concept, and accessories. The paint apps have been inconsistent with a lot of lines recently damn for windowless packaging. We gotta trust quality control? Naw, opportunists switching parts out or just plain stealing? I've seen it online and in the store🙇 Your comparisons are appreciated. I have to wait for mine...banging review ✌️

[@GoblinFootball13]

This headscuplt imo would look better on Ultimate version of Captain America. I remember cap having this badass look during the Civil War in the comics. Although he had longer hair

[@oliversees9443]

Outback feels left out of the Beard Brothers....😓😭🤣 I like the "tired-ass Duke" idea. Definitely could see that. Him after months in the desert.

[@GundamWarrior1]

After the Pinkerton situation I've been VERY close to cutting to all my Hasbro Pre-Orders, Hasbro is on EXTREME thin ice. If the QC issues remain like the last wave.....Classified will be MIA in the future in my collection.

[@kariqdatmenace6642]

Rock 'n' roll looks awesome paint mishaps are minor but he has some great accessories🤩

[@the13thprince]

got to admit the best accessory so far is that "rock on" hand

[@dwoncrawford5823]

Man I got this figure all because of your review. And I’m glad I did!! I’ve been having a not so good time in my life right now but just a small thing like this really helps. Your reviews are a great distraction from the downs of life and this power that they have is better then taking drugs or drinking. And they won’t kill me lol. Thanks alot!!

[@ArticulatedNinja]

Thanks those positive words mean a lot 🙏🏽 , and I agree way better than drugs or drinking my figs help me get threw times as well. Keep ya head up and keep pushing forward, life's short already no need to make it shorter.

[@schadenfreudeind]

I am liking what I am seeing with this figure. You sold me on him. So far, Outback (both versions) and Zarana are my favorite releases in this line, but then you have to be careful about those pesky QC issues. I am curious to hear your thoughts on the recent (today) pre-orders and am good to wait for when/if you discuss them. I like the way the new BATS (I think you already commented on them in a different video) and Tele-Viper/Flight Pod are looking so far. I don't love the prices, but the prices now are what they are. Funny that the price bar has been shifted up, so now I'm thinking, "Oh, hey. That's not bad. They could have gouged me more. Wait a minute, what am I saying?!"

[@willchew4040]

They should've just gave him an all green shirt and gloved hands. If anyone needs gloves it's the dude handling hot a$$ machine gun barrels.

[@justuntheranderson3141]

I wish I would’ve got him from BBTS when I saw him. I had to make a choice between getting Kerick and Sgt.Slaughter wave 2 from Vala or this! And I’m starting to think I should’ve got him!

[@fightincodenames481]

Great review Ninja!! Love the posing shots 🔥🔥

[@carlosalvador3926]

Another superb review from from the one and only Ninja, we really appreciate what you're doing man, Cheers!

[@ArticulatedNinja]

🙏🏽 thank you carlo

[@frostmirage7878]

Great review! Can’t wait to get R & R in hand and I’m with you, I collect both Classified and Valaverse, It’s a great mesh for me 👏🏼

[@markd9803]

I’m glad they got one right. Lately the figures have had some major QC issues and I’ve been thinking about stop collecting GI Joes. I’ll have to see how the rest of the new figure are.

[@andrewsabina8201]

I'm the same way with weapons, all my Classified Joes get Valaverse guns. Flint looks so good with an actual shotgun.

[@Ezilla82]

Let's Rock n' Roll!!! WOO!!! YEAH!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘With Rock N' Roll and Trigger! Beard Brothers Away!!!! Yep, his head sculpt is definitely rugged for sure.

[@findmyfigures2707]

The accessories you chose to pair with him are awesome ! Phenomenal videography & I love that walkie talkie he comes with, I’m going to have to get him now too!

[@tim_tazer]

I agree, this is their best to date

[@DisavowedActionFigures]

Well. Ya sold me!!! I guess I’m getting RR!! Great review love seeing the BEARDS together!!

[@nelsonmorales5576]

Great review I saw Rock n Roll on BBTS yesterday and snatched him up. So This is perfect timing as he just shipped.

[@Shellbackrc]

Great review I'm definitely getting him and now Trigger as well they pair up perfectly together as the Beard Brothers! Kicking @$$ and drinking beer!

[@ArticulatedNinja]

🤣

[@BlkRamGuy]

I'm not gonna lie, I was waiting on you to take a look at this figure and give your always welcomed honest opinion on it! I really like how this figure looks, hope I can find him at my local store soon!

[@hectormijailrosas4648]

From all the reviews I've seen so far about this figure this is the one that I've enjoyed the most. Love the lights and the set you put for the figures. It inspires me. I'm new at this lovely custom craft/art got some paint and some tools to start with little things and I'm so happy that I was able to put my hands on this one for a good price
S/O from Mexico 🇲🇽

[@thesavageland8815]

Good point about the yo joe fist and good imagination point on his head sculpt as a new rougher Duke.

[@ArticulatedNinja]

Thanks savage 🔥

[@MasterSkywalker86]

The music tells me you got the gist of R&R (Craige) My second favorite Joe of all time...My original 3-inch figure was the very first Joe I ever had in the 80s. It was poetic he and the shipwreck came in the same wave. . But this is about Rock n Roll. Yeah, it says in his original file card, he was a professional surfer, and pro weightlifter ('m glad they made him stocky like he was in comics. and also played the bass Guitar. I plan to find a 1/12 Bass Guitar. His personality is basically a dude who is into hard rock, parties. He is also one of the easiest people in G.I Joe to Joe along with. He is over-loyal and over-caring about everyone close to him. LOL He is also very knowledgeable with l NATO and Warsaw Pact, so he gets along well with Big Bear and the rest of the Oktober guard. (a special Russian team we have been begging Hasbro to make. I get my Rock n roll Saturday. Woooooooooooots!! He may be the number 1 classified of 2023. For sure number 1 on the Joe side. His only threat is Snowjob. But for others to think that they would have to be into Arctic guys. I loved all my artic figures as a kid. That and diver..anyone involved with water.

[@Diesel0306]

Yeah, this is actually the first Joe I've been excited about in a little while. I do buy Joe's too, but I'm just very selective of them.
AN, do you have a marvel legends retro carded or walgreen's exclusive Punisher? I'm curious how that M60 scales with him.

[@alexrosado3933]

One of the OGs bringing in the dub. That head swap on Duke looks like they pulled Ole 1sg out of retirement lmao

[@ArticulatedNinja]

🤣 true

[@alexrosado3933]

@Articulated Ninja Reviews I can hear it now, " These damn new Joe's, gotta activate me mumble, crumble where's my coffee and rifle" lmao least that's what I'd say

[@ironic_bionic]

💥💥Y'know, I'm not a #GIJOE collector, but your video/reviews sure make me want to grab some now!! 💥💥 Diggin' those posin' skills btw! #DAAS #beardbrothers #iwannarock 💥💥

[@venomsjunkmail]

If they released this body in the right colors I'd use him for some kind of custom I'm sure. Speaking of AN have you ever considered doing vids about customs by fans? I personally don't really do any customs that would fit in with your general tastes but I still like seeing what you get up to. Hell seeing your Batwing is what made me decide to grab one. Which I fiddled with a little but can't find any pieces to really add steering handles or seats. Dollar Tree/General didn't have any of the stuff you usually use so I'm kinda stuck with the base Batwing just painted. Anyway I'd still think it'd be neat to see what your fans put together especially if they were inspired by you to do it.

[@ArticulatedNinja]

Damn usually I just use those final factions pieces for seats and ect. And yea people reach out or tag me on Instagram for me to see things.

[@TheToyOdyssey]

He looks great! Definitely up there. I still think Spirit is the best Classified Joe release.

[@robertsinfiniterealms1308]

I like him and can’t wait to get him. I’m pretty attached to the original but I like they did some changes. I have to admit your right about being a good Duke head. Not sold on Cap though. Works as a place holder but I think there might be a better option.
Anyway cannot wait for mine to arrive.

[@furiousstylez8888]

So dope bro! I saw bbts had him I put him in my cart but got busy at work and totally forgot to purchase him lol. Oh well I’ll have to wait around again. He sold out quick

[@WeTalkAboutSpaceships]

Heckin’ yes, I’m looking forward to this one

[@RoleKeeper]

Wasn't expecting the jontron appearance. LOL. Way back when in oh 1982ish my brother and I got our first Real American Hero G I Joe figures, he got Rock N Roll and I got Flash. So there is a bit of sentimentality for me with Rock N Roll, I Should have mine before I leave for Joefest. Hopefully.

[@CoutureThug]

First thing I thought was to put his head on a Captain America figure and I'm glad you did it. It looks awesome

[@zshakur]

You a fool for that intro yo!

[@demetricsmith471]

Beard brothers, go! Yo Joe!😂

[@marvinonstage]

I don't have mine yet but based on your video I gotta give the best good guy head sculpt to Tiger Force Outback. Also why wasn't Outback and Cobra Island Roadblock (aka Isac Hayes) part of the Beard Brothers? or at least be the Band of the Beard Brothers?

[@hickettsisepic989]

Glad this guy is so good, they did my favorite Joe justice

[@sirt3abaggins]

Just thought about it as I was looking at some figures for a custom Im surprised they didnt do a better sleeve tat on RocknRoll like they did for Hanzo from their Overwatch line, he had a full sleeve even on the joints. and Ik Hanzo has a full concept art and digital renders with the tats but this is a custom figure with what somewhat look like custom tats for said character so why not design a full sleeve and use that same technique like on Hanzo...still love the figure tho thought Id share this here since you touched on the tat and paint apps

[@Choom89]

I feel like one shirt change and this dude could be a DOOM Guy haha

[@mickeybrodrick131]

Great head for the SENTRY fig as well! Great show bud!

[@Beaker709]

The only issue for me is the grey in the shirt. I collected OG - original green - as a kid and a fully green shirt is missing IMO.

[@Dunecoone]

This IS my 1st Classified/GI JOE Figure ever. Awesome figure. Very happy with it

🤣 foam he is pretty good and your will probably have better paint apps than mine he's def. One of classifieds best

[@jesusfernandez974]

Bro your the master of thumbnails👏.

[@ninarouse2712]

So happy to get my order in at big bad he looks freaking amazing

[@ArticulatedNinja]

Yes he sold out again quick on big bad that's cool if you got it threw.

[@xyphir-0054]

I’m really glad I picked this guy up; at first I only wanted him because he looked cool and I could probably use the head for a modern Eddie Brock from the Donny Cates/ Ryan Stegman run but I’ve come to love the figure as a whole!

[@fortressmattimus3984]

I've been falling out of Classified. I've gotten figures from the last 3-4 waves and they've all had QC problems.
I'm afraid to handle the figures because they all feel like they're going to break at the joints, because some of them have. He looks good, but I hope he feels better in hand than Classified has been

[@gerumguamil2580]

still waiting on this still stuck in customs 😅 but nice to see what i will be getting now i have some one to hold my mezco punisher mini gun yeah as always nice review waiting for the next

[@AlcoholAndAnimeNight]

I think you sold me man. After I pick up Zarana he may be next

How Ninja?! my pre-order ain’t supposed to be here till September‼️

Sold me on him. I was going to hold off, but now I am fully convinced.

Been waiting on this one! Looks like I should have pre ordered him😂

[@ArticulatedNinja]

I'm sure he will be everywhere unc no worries but he's def. Worth the price

Now I was debating on getting trigger after seeing your review I’m gonna get him and R&R

[@ww2historicanimation247]

can you please what are the girl figures called at the end of the video?

[@andrewgaughen9310]

"Beard Bros"?
"Thousand Yard Stare" Duke.

[@ArticulatedNinja]

🤣

[@travisbrown1893]

He looks like a younger version of the guy that plays Red Guardian in the MCU.

[@kimrice394]

I’m not picking up many Joes but Rock n Roll was one of my OG favorites. I’ll pick him up for Merc Squad.

[@soldier4life_PR]

I just came from my local Target and Walmart. There's is NO "Rock n Roll" action figures available for months, they only had "Shipwreck" available in special price $14.00. I personally talk to the store manager to see when more Joe's coming to stock and she checked the sistem but it DOESN'T said anything about items coming to the store anytime soon. So how can "TARGET EXCLUSIVE" G.I. Joe Classified Series are not available every week in the stores ??? Same thing happened every year over and over. We are forced to buy online.

[@willwaggenspack6411]

I feel his head sculpt is chuck noris and obi won kenobi

[@Darkmonster7689]

Yoo Articulated areyou ever going to do a collection video😅

[@gilchuson6050]

Got mine yesterday at Target with a clearance price of $12.49, best deal and the right price for this classified line!!!!

[@Victor-mc1sz]

Hopefully this is a good sign that Hasbro pulled a 180 and QC is going back to the way it was. I swear they better not botch Shipwreck.
Ninja, I would be careful with Pandora and Zarana now. You didn't do the drop test on Rock N Roll. You know they will be going after you now! Watch out for Zarana's arm missile!🤣😂

[@chadstahl6052]

Exceptional review!

[@Darkcur]

Duke and RocknRoll do be looking similar, there's like a familial connection to them.
