One of my biggest gripes with the GI Joe Classified figures is the method they used to attach backpacks. It seems barely adequate. The backpacks tend to fall off with a gentle touch at times. And how BBQ's pack fits is another example. Some room for improvement here, Hasbro! :)
I 100 percent agree with you. I think if they would have made the pegs on the backpack just a little longer this would fix the problem. But still over all, Classified is one of my favorite lines, next to WFC for Transformers.
My backpack fits nice and flush. I just got mine (6 months after this review) so maybe they tweaked it? Or maybe try pushing it in further? Anyway, cool figure. (If you mount the big axe with the blade end down and facing rearward, he can reach over his shoulder and grab the handle.)
Found one in store. Target app showed only one in stock. None were on display but asked an employee and they brought me one from the back of the store.
Just got my BBQ and his backpack peg is angled down on mine so it looks flush to his back more. Running change maybe or heat up peg and put some pressure on pack to it doesn't stick out much.
Just opened mine....backpack is fine. Buy another and swap the backpack. I do prefer the black and yellow uniform though now that im not 12yrs old. Thats how the target exs shouldve been handled...regular colors for wide releases and special team colors for target.
Nice looking figure. Would've been great if it had an un-helmeted head as well. I saw another review and his copy didn't have a back pack that stuck out like yours. Maybe try the hot water trick on the peg?
You should do a comparison with the original o-ring at the end as far as paint theme and accessories/outfit accessories. "It's comparison time!!" Uh, maybe something different, lol!
This thing looks great! That fire EFFECTS at the end lol Weird situation there with the tanks … I think your right and this could be the first time they reuse cobra parts on Joes! Great one sir!
Funny thing. I thought in my youth never had this guy then was going thru boxes and found his Slaughter Marauders version. I forget if ever had the 25th/30th or other modern fig if him. Mine should be coming tomorrow but after the mess had with 2 other items hope won't be 3 days later. Well hot water cold air so be steam how could see that smoke working.
Thought these weren’t showing up at target anymore… they are a pre order in the u.s so they should be shipping whenever they become available and not available in stores.. I didn’t pre order him and feel I may regret it cuz yeah except for the back pack issue the figure does look good,
I found this figure yesterday along with the Marvel Legends Surtur, thought it was a pretty funny pairing to get. Being in the UK the Cobra Island stuff isn't exclusive to one store, and it's been getting easier to find (aside from the first wave which released during lockdown). My local comic shop is where I got this figure and they've had Firefly there for months, crazy part is that they had a bunch of Barbecues, even though he's not set to release here until December. I love the look of this figure, my only problem is mine has a big scratch on the mouth area of the mask that bugs me, otherwise it's probably on my top 3 from this line, right up there with the Cobra Infantry and Zartan for me.
Hi MCU Collector.. have been following your videos for a while.. is there any way you can help me get zartan master of disguise figure at a good price.. I live in India.. thanks
I'm just trippin' off of the fact G.I. JOE needs to be "more international," to sell overseas, but people overseas are steady buying this line with American characters.

I just got this figure on sale for $16 🥳 Woot woot!!
Bbq and Breaker both look great.
Something is a miss with your backpack, the example we have in hand fits flush, super nice never a hint at falling off.

That is a great looking figure, I'll bet a little hot water could adjust that peg. Also this tells me we need neon gi joe classified figures

He is one my All Time Favorite Joes as kid!! I'm going to definitely look into doing something about that backpack on mine!

I'm in the Netherlands and got mine in a Dutch store about a week ago.
This thing looks great!
That fire EFFECTS at the end lol
Weird situation there with the tanks …
I think your right and this could be the first time they reuse cobra parts on Joes!
Great one sir!
A first-rate review of Barbecue and his cool accessories!
He looks like a Rescue Heroes character with their foam shooting backpack.
You think you can heat the pin and rubber band it to the figure for a few days and maybe it would ride better?

Really looking forward to this guy! He’s orange, he comes with a bunch of stuff (axes!), and he kinda looks like Kylo Ren’s mask!
Another awesome review for another awesome classified figure! Love your channel, and you’re one of my inspirations, keep up the great work!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Actually his gun/hose-piece did shoot fire in the cartoons @times.
amazing.
Where is the unmasked head sculpt? A serious oversight for a character who spent a lot of time out of his helmet in the animated series 😳
Glue the backpack lol!
This was a dope ass review bruh...BBQ look dumb clean!
They made BBQ big I bet him and destro could have a hot one.
Breaker really looks like he skipped leg day standing next to Barbecue.
Hi MCU Collector.. have been following your videos for a while.. is there any way you can help me get zartan master of disguise figure at a good price.. I live in India.. thanks
eBay is the only option I believe
Ebay is showing 600 USD!! So thought will check with you.. anyways thanks for the info
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
His weapon is a flame thrower
❤👍

Maybe that's a respirator or something like that for his mask.
What about a blue blast effect from a Iron Man for the nozzle gun?
That would be awesome, but those pegs on the effects are bigger than that smoke effect
@@MCUcollector24 ahh, ok 👍
Your voice reminds me of a much more soothing version of another figure reviewer, minus the gross-out name and 3rd grade humor 😅
Lmao Prime!!
That's weird my tank look an fits better than that must be what you get.
Yo the way the pack fits on to the figure straight up sucks
