I said it before, I'll say it again: the way the IG BAT looks now makes it worth purchasing! I'm not one to be psychologically invested into battle robot bipeds. It's a poor concept in my mind. But now those look GOOD! and the added options to switch out... the IG trooper with robotic head and hands... reminiscent of a certain villain in the first Hellboy movie. 😆 Somehow that concept of a cyborg is more attractive to me. 😅 OR it could be a mask.
Thanks for the shout out, Trav. Looking forward to chopping it up on Wednesday night. As for your top 10, good to see you had Leatherneck in there. No love for Raptor? 😂
@Abbotttdesign the beginning?? Haha. But, funny.. I was NOT there for day 1 but like day 3. I had to buy 00 SE on Ebay and I actually cherrypicked the first wave months after release. Funny times, those were!
Good list. I’m also pumped about the Night Force Ripcord, that figure looked terrific in the Dragonfly unboxing. I’d have Dial Tone in my top 3, he also looked really good and I also thought the Night Force Crazy Legs looked good as well.
Moody, I’m with you on the top 2. V2 Storm Shadow and Ripcord are going to be great. Also, you know damn well retro/standard Ripcord is going to be a close follow, hopefully.
nice top ten mate. I am really "looking" forward to that Stinger Driver. I loved the Infintry and any chance to get another one I will grab if I can. I managed to get three before they got really expensive but I have one Officer to round out the squad. all they need is transport and some heavy weapons support 😊
Blowtorch, Wild Bill, Rip Cord, vac-metal Cobra Commander, and Alpine for me. Honorable Mention to the Iron Grenadier. And I'm really curious to see what they do with Raptor and the Cobra-La stuff - should be wild.
Nice list. Original Recipe Ripcord is my most-wanted figure. Obviously, we're going to get him; the Night Force version is a pre-paint. I just hope I don't have to wait more than a year to get him in hand like it took to get classic Recondo.
@@AToyKindaMood Objectively, I can say the Night Force version looks awesome and makes me excited for the classic look. However, this version doesn’t appeal to me as a collector. I’m not getting any of the sub teams or repaints (except for Shooter), so I’ll be selling the Night Force Ripcord and Crazy Legs once they arrive.
@@AToyKindaMood Haha! I’m actually limiting my collection to characters that debuted from 1982 to 1985 (again, except for Shooter). The reasons are part nostalgic, part financial, and part mental health (so I don’t lose my mind trying to get a SDCC exclusive). It does mean leaving some awesome-looking figures on the shelf, but as DeNiro said in HEAT, “That’s the discipline.”
Great list, but I'd swap Stormie to #1 and Rip to #2. Glenda (not on the list) would replace that Sawed Viper imo :) We need Sci-Fi, Airtight, Wetsuit, Red Dog, Taurus and Mercer!
GI Joe. Captain John Walker. Codename: Sideburns. 1 Hasbro Captain America John Walker figure. Remove head, hands and boots. Yellow synthetic dye, turns limbs green. Add poncho and down hood accessories from the 60th anniversary infiltrate figure. Thin ribbon, or string as a paracord poncho belt. Reconnect John Walker unmasked head, hands and boots. Add Stalker's beret and weapon of your choice.
@@AToyKindaMood it was an easy throw together that worked out extremely well. And deliverers a John Walker figure pre the Falcon and Winter soldier saga. He stands with my Joe's
need NF Crazylegs in hand will be a top figure with that slight tint of brown. he will not look like ripcord and will have a different look and feel. Bank on it!!!
Not feeling need to get all these. Got 10 retro troopers, 3 retro CC, 6 Retro snow serpents. Blowtorch will be cool and a Night Viper would be as well.
A tip of my cap to Lenny for deciding to paint the gold on those IG BATS. It’s such a killer detail.
It was Tony's idea!!

Lol... yeah, no lol.. let's talk about it on Wed 😂
The list is solid. Outside of pipeline and renders I am looking forward to Airtight, Taurus, Redbone, and Mercer.
Yeah, that would have to be a sep video, but damn good choices :)
I want a regular Ripcord and hope that it also leads to a Freefall figure too.
👏👏
Liking the list we’ve got coming bro !!! It’s a good time to be a classified collector 🔥🔥🔥 ✌🏽
No better time than now fam!
Can you describe a bad time to be a Classified collector?

Awesome video Travis! The editing was great! And yes you will see me at Joefest. Yo Bro! 🔥🤘🔥
Whoohoo!! Thx so much man
I'm with you that Storm Shadow v2 is one of my favorites!!
@@photogijoehero 🤟🤟
Hate hate hate hate lol! Moody gets hater of the year award 🥰 This was a fun one, Travis!
Hahaha who did I hate on??? 😂😂😂
Great list. I would agree with 1 and 2.
Niiiiiiice!!! Thx David!!

But do you LIKE the prepaint? Or is it more of a matter of want over what they've made?

@@ryandaly01 I don't know how you do it 🤯
Completely agree with one and two
😮😮😮🔥🔥
Roadblock w/ Fully transformed snake CoCo 2 pack. Yes, we need another Roadblock.
Hahahaha!! That would be better than my #3 choice ALONE, but we'll see!
Great list, but I'd swap Stormie to #1 and Rip to #2. Glenda (not on the list) would replace that Sawed Viper imo :) We need Sci-Fi, Airtight, Wetsuit, Red Dog, Taurus and Mercer!
Now u guys got me pumped to do a wishlist video lol
It'd be great if Hasbro sends out an apology backpack to those who order Alpine.
Hahahah! That won't ever happen. They know that there are third party companies that can provide wasn't in their line budget....
awesome videos! surprised that is your most anticipated, but he is a cool looking figure!
Thanks, man!! I was surprised too but I did LOVE the o-ring version they gave us w the S Striker sooo
TRAVIS ' you know your Stuff. I'm with you all the way. Love Ripcord ❤
😁😁😁
Think of this guys: Regular colored Ripcord or Crazylegs in the twopack with NF Flint.
Thats be crazy! I think Reg Ripcord is a standalone

Every figure should be Lifeline. There all done
They haven't announced him yet....
@@AToyKindaMood and that is a crime that I hope they soon rectify
@@Stygian360 lol 🏥
Lol dude I literally live 2 blocks away from hasbro and will probably be the last to get my dreadknox and jinx figures
Smh
Still waiting for a Budo
Slice n Dice

Which one r u waiting for?
Um, it's cartoon accurate.
