#GIJoeClassified #GIJoeNews
They need to do a Retro Serpentor for collectors that got into the Classified line late, like myself. I think it would sell really well!
It really has to be the #1 retro update that we're all waiting for. They'll change it just enough with brighter colors & only the vintage-style cowl included.
@@ViperIslandyes, that would be great!
I got mine for 150 on Ebay, its not to bad of a price. If you get in the habit of checking regularly you may find it at a good price. TRUST ME its worth it. They will do the Retro figure at some point but the Air Chariot....not sure.
no, not for late collectors, for everyone that was not able to pre-order the extremely exclusive con. at least i was able to get Once A Man Cobra Commander. yet also not able to get Dr. Mindbender.
The retro line should go in the same order as the original ARAH line instead of jumping around and released 2 or 3 a month and not flood the market like the regular classified line.
I would love a Retro Snow Job
The Snow Job we got is pretty retro. Just give him the laser rifle that all the retros got
yes on range viper and a re relist on the ferret
They need to re-release all the classified retro figures that were released with the toilet tissue strength cardbacks
I want Hooded Cobra Commander, Short fuse, zap, breaker with his equipment, flash, the Jump, Flak, HAL, and a ram without a driver
Agreed, need all the OG retro figures, and the wave 1 weapons/vehicles. Hope they’ll get to it, b/c that’s what started the whole line.
For me I think the classic line cant really be classic until they have the OG 13 joes . I think there is a lot of things that classified can do with updated looks but also story line characters from the original marvel comic books like doing a issue 26 origin of Snake eyes vietnam LRRP team with all 6 memebers . Its a real chalange with a toy like like GI Joe to keep everyone happy because we have so many different runs and aspects that were the starting point for collectors , some want updated modern looks some want the classic 82 83 joes just like the 3.75 o ring series and some want others from later runs when they started or maybe the people that like the sub teams like tiger force and python potrol . Its a challange that I think the GI Joe team is doing a good job with and items like the mass device snake eyes shows they are working to get fans as much veriety as they can and get people what they want . Also happy birthday
Well said! The OG 13 are such a core part of G.I. Joe’s legacy, and seeing them all in Classified would really cement the line as a true evolution of the classics. You’re right, balancing all the different eras and collector preferences is a huge challenge. So far, the team is doing a solid job giving us variety while honoring the past. The MASS Device Snake Eyes, polar bear, & Cobra S.N.A.K.E. are a great example of that. 🙌
I know it's basic, but i caught on after the retro Snake Eyes. I'd love the plain black version released again.
Same here, said the same thing, Retro Snake Eyes should be re-released for folks that missed out. Btw they should make a better looking Retro Storm Shadow, just like the later SS urban camo version, they missed the mark.
That A.W.E. Striker looks amazing!!!!
Right?! They really hit this one out of the park!
@ViperIsland absolutely! Hope it'll be easy to procure for everyone
Really? I never would have guessed it was an A.W.E Striker if I hadn’t been told.
Brother you should take a look on Gridiron studios take on the Sand buggy
When is it coming out?
For retro card figures: Roadblock, Major Bludd, Serpentor and Col. Hawk.
The SNAKE armor, AWE Striker, Tele-viper and Breaker are definite orders for me.
We need a Vamp reissue for the people that missed it and Clutch, along with the rest of the OG 13. Getting Sci-Fi before Flash feels like a real miss to me.
That’s a great list - I agree on all of those! Always down for any iteration of Hawk that comes to Classified!
V2 Dusty and Desert Scorpion twin pack. Hell yeah.
Right?? Thank you for putting this out into the universe. Let's make this a reality. Falcon & Quarrel and Steel Corps vs. Twilight Guard proved how popular these 2-packs are. While I don't expect it will happen, a 2-pack with animals would be wild.
That's a great idea! Desert showdown pack! I'll be all in on that.
im still hopeful for a retro dusty with soft goods havelock. but yes desert scorpion,and that will more than likely be my last troop builder i go all in on.
Major blood major blood major blood
Say it loud for the people in the back! 📢
@ViperIsland MAJOR BLOOD! MAJOR BLOOD! MAJOR BLOOD!
📢📢📢 Loud enough for Y'all yet? Can you hear me in Canada? 😁
@@crusader7715 isnt it Major Bludd? 😁😁😁
@@dra.hisyam yeah haha
New animals: Hydro Viper and his Stingray.Or a marine Serpent like blíster of Torpedo and Cobra Eel.
One of my favorites and would love to see it in retro is Gung Ho in marine blues
I would like a retro Major Bludd, retro Serpentor, retro GridIron, retro Muskrat, retro Salvo and Retro Zandar Edit: also want a retro Cross Country
Major Bludd is one of my favorites!!
Let's stop playing. So many people missed out on the original major blood. I think that's what most people want soon. It's unbelievable that they haven't done another major blood at this point.
I definitely want a retro Maj. Bludd and hoping for retro Blowtorch.
Happy Birthday Liam!
Viper Island ROCKS because of you buddy!
Thanks for being one of the best channels on TH-cam.
Happy Birthday my friend!
You're too kind! Thanks for the birthday wishes! 🙏 It's a great day to celebrate G.I.JOE!
Yeah guys, Mutt & Junkyard is definitely one of the best sets so far…..for sure one of my overall favorites!
They really nailed that set - so much detail! Extremely loyal to the '84 figure. 🙌 In hindsight, my rating was too low for Mutt. I'm with you on it being one of the top standouts so far.
The closer to the original the better!
Happy Birthday Bro....im right behind ya on February 4th
Thanks for the birthday wishes, Charles! Happy birthday to you as well! 🤙 Thanks for watching!
I'm going to be in the minority here, but considering they have the retro card line, I really hope they release the Op Blackout Storm Shadow.
It would also be nice to have an updated Arctic Mission Storm Shadow as a re-release that could be just a tweaking of the Retro Storm Shadow v3 that you hope they release (as the Arctic Mission in the Retro line).
The animal combos were always my favorites when I briefly collected from 88-91 (?). I definitely want to see Hydro-Viper with the Manta ray pet.
Not sure a Lion is the best animal for "Tiger" Force. I think you know what we need with that. They already have a great mold with the Marvel Legends Zabu that they can tweak. But hell, make a Tiger and a Lion. There's no reason why they couldn't produce a first, a new Dreaknok character that has a Lion as a Pet. And if we're getting a Tiger for Tiger Force, why not a Giant Python or Anaconda for Python Patrol?
How many people would go for an Animal Pack filled with the already released animals only painted different colors?
And yeah, I'd want all of these, but I'd have to say Slice n Dice are my favorites so far. I think this also goes to show the leaked photos didn't do these two justice, and Lenny and Crew have nothing to worry about with most leaked photos, because they look MILES BETTER than what the leaked photos could even give.
All those accessories, tooling, and masks really bump the figures to ridiculous levels. The Oni Masks will make great additions to the rest of the Ninja line released with Oni Masks.
And the Straw Sun Hat / cloak is clearly giving 80's Big trouble in Little China / 90's Raiden vibes. Things like that allow you to create an entirely new "Super" Character out of these figures. Just phenomenal.
Goddamn I need to win the Lottery. Will also be interesting to see how the "Tariff Wars" will affect the pricing of collectibles manufactured "elsewhere" even more this year.
My favorite TH-cam channel now GI joe news.
Me too! These guys put in so much work, it's fun to see how passionate they are about Joes
I want retro card Short Fuze, Zap and Flash soon if the GI joe team is listening!
Hasbro, I'm going to need that S.n.a.k.e armor in Blue and Red please.
For sure. They will definitely re-use the mold with different colors and pump out as many as possible to meet the demand and maximize their sales.
Id love retro cards of Snow Job, Major Bludd, Shipwreck, Rock n Roll and Clutch.
That's an A-level list of retro figures. Retro Rock n Roll exists - you should still be able to order it. It's from the most recent Retro Card wave of Mindbender, Rock n Roll, and Cobra Viper.
The AWE Striker looks absolutely sick and Crankcase looks fantastic. I love that reveal.
Agreed. I am blown away by the AWE Striker, but Crankcase is somehow even more surprising. They made him look incredible!
Retro Spirit and Blowtorch would be must haves.
I'm an army builder so I cannot wait 4 both the Retro Bat & Retro Viper, Slice & Dice were 2 of my favorites growing up as I love Ninjas & I really hope they give us a Retro Firefly with the torso issue fixed.My Firefly might as well have come with a Hoola Hoop!
I love how this channel is like a professional high production version of ESPN for GI Joe 🤣 I didn't think a lion would interest me, but you have convinced me. Lenny would design the hell out of a big lion. A tiger and rhino would be my picks. I want a retro figure of the arctic mission Storm Shadow - I wasn't collecting back then but if they can fix the problems from that one then I would jump at getting a retro version.
Thanks for the ESPN comparison. 😉 We put in a lot of work to make this hobby fun for our viewers! It's good to know you're enjoying the channel! 🙏
If the original character didn’t have an animal with him or her, then they shouldn’t be adding one. Tripwire and a rat is horrible.
Tiger makes more sense than a lion. It's called Tiger Force not Lion Force lol
I still want them to do a gung-ho with him and his dress blues
I'm with you!
S.N.A.K.E. armor looks dope. I like the original design of the AWE Striker.
With the release of the Firefighter expanding possibilities. More Animals using the Aventure Team line would be awesome. White Tiger, Gorilla, even a Yeti would be amazing.
That’s an awesome idea, Jim! The Adventure Team has so much untapped potential, and expanding it with more animals would be incredible. Love the creativity! 👍
I think a tiger would make more sense than a lion.
YES YES YES to the first Storm Shadow design! That will be one of the best new (and updated) designs that this line needs!
Congrats on 50 episodes!! The best GI JOE news on the internet! Number 1!
talking of animal companions, I want Kangor and the Kangaroo two pack, Big Boa is my favourite character so its a must have for me!
I think we need retro major bludd and firefly😊
Happy birthday to Viper Island and GI Joe! I love this channel so much! Great episode you guys!!
Thank you so much! We appreciate the love! 🙏
Happy birthday to you, sir. As a fellow Aquarian, I just want to say keep up the good work.
I really would love to see Lenny and the team produce more of Operation Blackout designs. The first wave is still my favorite and i would buy them all again in pinless updates. I would like to see a retro-card Spirit and Barbecue with a removable helmet.
Happy birthday to you too! And thanks for the kind words. 🙏 Good call with Retro Spirit. The first one had an immaculate head portrait.
Think I'll pass on the ninjas and spend that money on Snake armors. I've been waiting for them. They look great.
Can’t wait to get a couple of Awe Strikers!
For Retro card, I want Roadblock but his Season 2 cartoon look.
Tiger for Tiger Force sounds good
100%
The awstriker is an actual vehicle we use in SOF. So it’s definitely a must have. For me at least.🤣
That's awesome insight. Gotta love that they're touching on the vintage design while also tending to those who want more reality-based vehicles.
Definitely getting the SNAKE and AWE striker. Never was big into the ninjas though, so will probably pass on S&D
Right? The SNAKE will be extremely hard to pass up. They've created an incredible troop builder!
Love them all!! They look pretty sweet to me!! Now, how can I fit those all into my budget? 😂😂😂
There will be a TON of new releases & pre-orders in a couple weeks from now! Not sure how we'll all afford it, but there's a reason this is the hottest action figure line going!
@@ViperIsland Can't wait....yet I'm crying because my twin sis and I have a TH-cam channel devoted to Star Wars Black Series figures. Just started collecting G.I. Joes. So, budget wise, you can understand why I'm sooooo bummed. 😂😂 We both played with G.I. Joes as kids, but they were a lot different back then. I'm giving away my age. 😁 Anyway, we enjoy your channel and love that you and your son do the channel together!!
Crankcase looks good. Not a fan of the third seat though. Really wanted this but it looks bad
Possible bad, take... no more Storm Shadow, no more Snake eyes. I know they're iconic, but I'd like to just give them a break.
I hope hasbro moves forward with new characters.
That's a completely fair take! I'm personally in no rush to get new versions anytime soon -- but Hasbro is going to release new versions each year of Snake Eyes & the odd Storm Shadow, given that they have proven to be the brand's top A-tier sellers. It's the same as Marvel making new Spider-Man or Ironman figures each year.
The Darklon looks promising. I always loved the Awe Striker, but even with the updated look, I don't know if I would pay a $100 for it..
Where's the Cobra Fang??? They tease us with the picture and they make us wait?!?! Sounds like an evil Cobra plot to me. 🤬🤬
AWE is great but wish it had the OG canon instead of the VAMPs 50 cal
Spearhead and his bobcat Max
Anyone else love the travel mug accessory? I think it's cool to include some everyday items.
This also means there's a cup holder for it. 😉 Fun details!
1985 retro snake eyes timber plz
Let’s get a move on with the FANG and Sky Hawk!
I'm probably in the minority on this but I've avoided buying the retro carded releases. Classified was taking the line in a new direction and showing us something familiar with a modern twist. The retro stuff is a literal regression set at the same price point which makes no sense; I'm against paying the same for less. The retro line should be $5 -$10 cheaper with less packaging/manufacturing costs on their end. The retro line just seems like one more element for Hasbro to detract from their focus and divide their efforts. They already couldn't agree on consistent packaging (or sizing) with the Classified series. Plus, I really like the way the artwork on the classified boxes displays on my shelves and the retro stuff throws a wrench into my setup. It's all just a personal grievance.
I agree and am in the same boat. I haven't picked up any retro figures yet because I'm partial to the newer designs since it gives me an updated version while enjoying the nostalgia. I prefer the newer packaging (even though they keep changing it). I also totally agree that the price should be different and less for the retro line. I'm on a budget as it is and can't get my hands on all the figures I want, let alone pay the same/more for less. I will say that retro characters like Scarlet and Duke make sense and I do want them because they are completely different from their Classified versions.
Happy birthday dude
Thank you, Frank! Much appreciated! 🙏
you are welcome
You now Gridiron is going to have a lot of fun modifying the SNAKE.
Still waiting for my Wet-Suit!
I wish they made the stands that come with the retro card backs available for purchase. I would buy a ton!
That S.N.A.K.E armor looks great but I was really hoping for a more retro design allowing us to put a fig inside
Agreed.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Thank you! 🙏
@ I hope it is a great one! Yo Joe!
Just got Mutt and Junkyard. Very pleased. Keep up the good work and happy birthday
What an epic set - enjoy! Thanks for the kind words. 🙏
They screwed up retro Breaker. That harness is not in classic form. At least Flint looks good.
Happy birthday Liam! and Cobra Island too! Thank you for all the GREAT work you do and the words you and Dax speak!
Thank you very much! 🙏 It's been a great day for G.I.JOE fans. 👍
We want some Golobulus and Pythona. :)
They can't be too far off.
That AWE Striker looks too tall. Still getting it, but I think it's ugly.
They added height so that figures won't be crouched when standing on the rear and firing the cannon. It should make more sense when diorama images are released in the future. But that's a fair comment! It won't appeal to all.
Gawd, I love your channel! I am BEYOND ecstatic for Slice & Dice!!! They’re in my Dream 5 figures! I’ll be buying all of these new reveals as they ALL amazing! I lean heavily into the 90’s style figures as they were my speed as a boy in The 90’s! More Ninja Force @hasbro PUH-Lease!! Great video guys! And yes, more animals like Lions & Tigers!!!
Thanks for watching! 🙏 Slice & Dice are incredible. I’m so stoked they’re getting the Classified treatment!
Well I think Crankcase needs his Galil 7.62 assault rifle. One of the best rifles in the 1985 line in my opinion. I would like a Spearhead and Max with a knife size that makes sense, unlike the OG. Retro card Crazylegs, Zap, Shortfuse and Flash. That Lion would look good in an Adventure team them with that Amphibious vehicle! That's nostalgia right there!
The awe striker is not really like the original because the og never had a seat in the back
They always add some modern improvements, while trying to stay as loyal to the original as possible. Not everyone will love it, but the entire set looks pretty fun!
To be fair, the og didn't have a machine gun and rocket launchers either, it had a recoilless rifle.
Maybe it's just me but the a.w.e striker looks terrible like it was designed by kindergartner 😂😢
Happy Birthday, Liam 🎂🎁🎉🎊🎈🎈🎈… Mine is coming up on the 15th 😊😊😊
Thank you, John! 🙏 Happy early birthday to you as well!
Serpentor retro card!!!
👏
In my opinion, retro cardback figures should actually be old school retro figures like the originals...
That really does make the most sense.
MASS Device and Weather Dominator playsets coming! I am going to be naughty!
Range viper for the retro
As someone who was not able to order any Range Vipers, I strongly agree.
@ViperIsland I ended up ordering him from China when we wasn't able to get him. I have 7 now but will get at least 10 of the retro
For Pets, my opinion his that a rat should be in. Fro retro my next 5 years picks should have à Marina (Baroness redeco with new head), Valkyries (With pony tale head) and some of the pilot and support that are exclusif with a dial down look for small budget collector and playset organiser.
There is a rat which came with the deluxe Tripwire. Great suggestions for the retro line!
The AWE looks awesome. I'd like to see pretty much all pre-1988 figures retro. But let's say Ripcord, Major Bludd and Firefly
Tube worms, brother. Tube worms.
YES! What a fantastic idea. Good call. 🙌 Based on the success and popularity of the M.A.S.S. Device figures, maybe it's a possibility for the future?
Retro Firefly is the only retro I want.
For new figures: Crimson Asp and Dawn Moreno
I want a rerelease/repaint of Range-Viper, Bludd and Wolf Spider because I have none of them
I concur on Firefly...returned the other one because of the ridiculous quality issues shown in the video.
@ i got mine in a great pose and he will stay that way. The belt fits just high enough to solidify the loose torso for the pose I wanted. But yeah, QC issues on him were unacceptable
A retro crazy legs, Ricord, Wild Bill and Major Blood would be awesome
Hydro Viper and his Manta Ray 😁
I am all for changing up the A.W.E. Striker a bit but don't like this version at all. The small wheels in the front make it look like a go kart and the extended roll cage looks like it is just stacked up on top of eachother to make it tall enough for the gunner. Compared to the Vamp it looks like a low quality vehicle lacking the refinement that they bought to Vamp, Stinger, and Ferret . Very disappointing as this was one of my favorite vehicles as a child! I hope new shots of it in a diorama show it off better and change my mine.
Appreciated this preview, can't wait for more Ninja Force figures to come out. Awesome finding this channel
The retro stuff gets my attention more but there are absolutely some figures that blend modern so well that I completely happy having them over a Retro.
That being said, I'd like to see a Retro Roadblock, Serpentor and Lifeline.
Is it me or can you use the extra head from slice and dice for hard master?
Not a bad take. Perhaps along with the hat and cloak combo over Slice body?
Wish they would go back to the 3 inch figures....the 6 inch classified series just doesnt appeal to me.
I am positive that you can remove the 3rd set from the Awe striker to get a more classic look
Wet Suit and a Dolphin. I hope he will look like Thomas Jane in Deep Blue Sea.
yes on road block
Happy Birthday! Today is my mom's birthday as well. Can't wait for the AWE Striker and the Cobra Snake.
Thank you, Hugh! 🙏 Happy birthday to your mom!
I would like these additions
Retro Line: Serpentor, Major Bludd, Dr. Mindbender
Classified Line: Mistress Armada, Budo, Mercer, Lifeline, Salvo, Zanya, Sea Slugs, Cesspool, Overlord, and Thrasher
S.N.A.K.E armor looks great! Also, Fatal Fluffies with a little fatal fluffy would be cool for 'animal' companions.
You forgot Tripwire's rat 🐀. If they are making a polar bear I say Fatal Fluffy w/ little space furry and COLD SLITHER YOU'LL BE JOINING US SOON!.
Yo Freaking Joe!
Throwing that shade at the off brand awe striker 😅😅😅
Happy birthday..many happy returns
Thank you very much! 🙏
S.N.A.K.E. is hands down my favorite. Definitely very interested in Breaker and Flint.
The team really knocked it out of the park with the S.N.A.K.E.
Happy birthday, Liam 🎉🎂
Thank you, Derrick! 🙌 It's a great day to be a G.I.JOE fan for all of us!
An Attack Hippo would be awesome!
I think the operation black out storm shadow would be an awesome addition. So far I have every version of Storm shadow and Snake eyes
When will they be available for preorder?!!!!!!! 🎉
I would for sure buy the modern Storm Shadow! Let's get it in the "pipeline".
