- Breaking down an awesome set of reveals from Hasbro with its GI Joe Classified Series line from the Slice and Dice two-pack, the MASS Device inspired figures, the AWE Striker vehicle and retro Tele-Viper, Breaker and Flint.
Revisit the fun of the MASS Device with the GI Joe DVD box set at my affiliate Amazon. amzn.to/3ElWuNg
I only collect Marvel Legends, but I still love to revel in your enthusiasm for other lines! Your joie de vivre always makes my days better! Thank you for being you!!!
Thanks so much John! Rest assured, more Marvel Legends content is on the way!
Wow Slice and Dice! I think they are gonna look nice with the other ninjas on display! Thanks for the update Lyle
Man that Flint is PERFECT!
He really did come out so perfect!
Wow. FLINT looks like the real deal! Want all of these, naturally
He REALLY does!!
I was really more of a 90's kid so the 80's Joes weren't really my bag. Slice and Dice on the other hand were two or my favorites, so I'm excited for that 2-pack.
What are some Joes you're looking forward to seeing still?
Nice! Now we need a retro Major Bludd
Yeah! He's about due now, right?
@ Yup. What’s the tentative release date for these? 🤔
Flint will be the retro Duke of 2025: the iconic face of the G.I. Joe brand that they finally got right in the six inch line. I expect him to make a lot of Top 10 lists in December.
Excited for Breaker and Cover Girl, and the AWE-Striker. Honestly, I always thought Crankcase was a bit weird looking with his green sweater, but this figure looks great. I might be more impressed with Crankcase than the vehicle.
As for the SNAKE armor… it’s growing on me. I didn’t love it when I first saw it, but now… I’ll probably get two.
Good call. I think that might need to revisit Lady Jaye again now to make her figure as iconic as the Scarlett Retro we got last year as well. I really think the AWE Striker and SNAKE armor are gonna be some sleeper hits as the year winds down.
This Flint figure is the EXACT figure i wanted. I had a problem with the last ones head sculpt but a lot of people told me i was crazy. but if they keep it close to this render i'll love it. He is my favorite joe. (i find it odd that a lot of people miss remember Duke as being the one who says YO JOE!!! in the cartoon opening). Now i just want him and Lady Jaye's daughter!!
Duke says "Yo Joe" in the original miniseries and The Revenge Of Cobra. Flint did it for The Pyramid Of Darkness, which they also used for the series until Arise Serpentor, Arise if I'm not mistaken, but I am gettin' old
@@samspurgeon4222 I'll have to watch the original mini series again. I did know there were times where duke said it. Thank you for the info.
@Lazrael32 no problem, I may be wrong about the 1st miniseries, but I think on the 2nd he says it when the door goes up and he rides out on the RAM.
Flint is my 2nd fav and I like his intro the best though. They tried it with Snake Eyes, but it wasn't very successful 😂. A big Yo Joe to ya👍
@samspurgeon4222 lol! Can't imagine why snake eyes didn't work out!
I thought the original Flint head sculpt was OK though it didn't quite match up with the far more dashing looking box art that really seemed to nail the character.
Breaker is a highlight for me, actually - he was my first Joe, so a sentimental favorite and I missed him the first release, so really looking forward to getting him. The SNAKE also is insane, can't wait!
Nice. We all have the softest spot for our first Joe. Breaker looks great too.
I feel your enthusiasm!! Great line up coming!! Now, let’s hope Hasbro keeps making the figures we want. They need to do good each and EVERY wave.
In fairness they have to work harder for me to not want most of the figures in a wave.
You can show us your G.I Joe display any day 👀
I'm almost there! Just cleaning up a few more things around it!
I definitely just subscribed. I like the Hasbro reveals but find them to chatty with multiple people talking over each other. This was nice. I'm all in! Yo Joe!
Thanks so much. Really appreciate it and Yo Joe!!!
This version of Flint is PERFECT!!! I will buy every one I see
@@LonewolfDusk save me one lol
Oh absolutely!
I'll be picking up all those Retros. They look amazing! That bubblegum alternate head for Breaker is so great.
I'm so excited for bubblegum Breaker 🙂
I’m pumped the most about the Awe Striker with CrankCase….I’m planning on getting a couple of those for sure!
Nice! I'm very happy with it too!
What a way to start the new month. Take my money
Seriously!! Amazing start and already awaiting the livestream.
If they come out looking like the renders, Flint and Cover Girl are must haves. Also seriously considering Slice and Dice.
Seriously. Looking forward to all of them!
I may have to get that Cobra SNAKE and customize it into a ML Hydra or A.I.M. robot!
There you go!
Bro, Slice and Dice look really cool, nice shirt
They do! And thank you!!
I'm not super familiar with GI Joe. But they're cool figures and I pick and choose. Might have to pick up Flint, Covergirl and Breaker.
The line is so good it works for non-Joe fans.
Ditto. 💯
@@LylesFigureFiles🤔 ok, so, now I've got to do some research on the SNAKE armour.
Not a gi Joe guy myself but I have to admit that slice and dice 2 pack is tempting 👍
They would work in any line with ninjas 🙂
Cool to see the new reveals, most look pretty good... just need to fix those tiny front tires on the A.W.E. Striker. Looks horrible.
Thanks for the breakdown.
I thought it was just me but the a.w.e striker looks terrible.
Thanks so much for watching!
Once again, I’m in for everything. Classifieds has not disappointed me yet. Even figures I don’t have any attachment to or knowledge of still look impressive enough for me to buy and add to the collection.
Exactly. They do such a great job of making these figures look so dope it's hard not to be down for all of them.
@ Yes. Based on what I said earlier, there is one thing I wish they would bring back for every figure is the file card on the back. I know they do it for retro but I would like for the mainline to have it also. I don’t want to look up on a website for their updated files. Since I’m an mib collector also, it’s just easier to flip the box and read. Plus no chance of the files being altered or lost once it’s physically printed on the box.
Can't wait for the S.N.A.K.E. armor! I do think it'll have to be a Trubble Bubble set up just based on the size of the torso and can act as a cockpit. Going by how the wait and limbs look, they're connected via ball pegs most likely so no way to get a figure's arms/legs to slip into.
And I'm more Cobra but that Flint and Cover Girl looks awesome as Retro! I have to pass as I know if I try to get them then I'll have to start in on the rest and I have neither the space nor extra funds for Joe side haha.
Oh c'mon it's a fun rabbit hole to get sucked into ;-)
Mass device episode figures 👏😎 Outstanding 🎉
I can't wait for more waves of all the mini-series.
Awesome reveals.
Caved and bought a haslab HISS tank for aftermarket price…. Hurt, but hurt more not to have it.
Yessir! Hopefully that HISS wasn't too pricey!
Local
Toy store…. 475. Hurts. You only
Live once right? Not proud of it.
SLICE AND DICE for the win
Yessir! They look awesome!
I've been trying to build army units based on Military structures. I think I am going to have Dusty riding alongside Crankcase since their uniforms are closer in the tan colours and the Awe striker seems like a perfect vehichle for desert operations as it looks more like a Dune buggy.
In the 30th Anniversary wave they had a very cool desert vehicle that would be fun to see brought into the CS line as well.
The flint is right up there next to great muta for figure of the year.
Like a young Busta rhymes use to say, give me some mo
Yes sir!! With them and X-Factor Cyclops, my Top 3 might already be locked in ;-)
@LylesFigureFiles oh man. I forgot about him
Passing on Cobra armour if a figure can't go in it. Striker neat
I think it will based on how big the cockpit section appears.
Great, but where are Wet-Suit, Sci-Fi, Lifeline, and Airtight?
My GI Joe shelf is dull because of all these muted colors. Where is the color?
Meanwhile we're getting more rando army builders and redos of Breaker, Flint, Covergirl, and Tele-Viper because they can't get right the first time.
Also what happened to blowtorch ?
@ I saw Blowtorches renders a month or so ago, his preorder should be right around the corner. I wish he was the retro version though.
@@TheBigBigSean I liked it and don’t you worry they know they can get into fans with both new and old style. So I’m sure that’s in the pipeline somewhere
@@raypaz2947 IMO, they should do retro first, then modern. Waiting sucks.
Im getting 2 SNAKE ARMOR for sure. The AWE STRIKER needs bigger wheels on the front is my only gripe. The figures all look amazing. Im holding off on the ninjas though. Getting 3 Tele Vipers to. Awesome day today.
It seems like a few folks think he wheels should be bigger. How much bigger should they be?
Pass on Slice and Dice, the diver 2 pack, and the Snake Armor.
Gotcha!
Nice salt n pepa reference
LOL. Thanks man!
I am excited about the AWE Striker, but that Flint is great. Nothing there I won't buy. And love Breaker.
Ideas for a code name for the Cover Girl: Downshift, Rollcage, Torque.
I like Torque!
Plays into the wrench nicely.
@LylesFigureFiles Me too. And sounds tough.
I might pass on the Ketchup and Mustard divers...haha...but will have to grab one SNAKE armor even if it can't fit a figure...which is a bit disappointing.
I think they will. Looking forward to seeing a side view to gauge how deep that torso section is and if it can fit a figure.
@@LylesFigureFiles Yeah the more I look at it and zoom in, theres a hinge visible on the bottom of the torso so a figure might be able to sit in it.
YO JOE!!!
Yo Joe indeed, Justin!
They really need to redo Lady Jaye they've cone along way with female hea d sculpts.
I also hope we get the Baroness from the Rattler as a single release.
I'd love to see both of them get one more (or two more) cracks at definitive versions of them.
Leave it to Jeffrey Lyles to work in a Salt-N-Pepa reference in a G.I. Joe reveal video! Love it!
Anyway, ALL of these are incredible reveals! I can't wait. Speaking of waiting, I remember hearing that the classified series releases would be delayed this year. Any word on when these might be coming out?
LOL good catch, my friend!
No news on my end. The Dial Tone wave was announced as coming in October, but folks had them in hand in January so I think it's just a matter of shifting expectations so folks aren't mad with delays.
I would love action force stuff like quarrel . Maybe red shadows, z force, etc
They seem open to it!
Woukd love the last three retro cards of 2025 to be Roadblock, Major Bludd and Flash. I mean they've already got most of the parts made from previous figures....
I hope they just go retro style for Flash without the need for a double dip Flash. We're overdue for a retro Major Bludd. What would you like to see for Roadblock or did you miss this one? amzn.to/4hFNDo7
@LylesFigureFiles no I have him and gave him the action soldier .50 cal. Just want the ammo belt to be longer. The Tiger Force one is the wrong caliber. It would be no extra/very little cost for Hasbro to make retro Roadblock. Look what they dud with Stalker just a simple repaint nothing extra or new. I agree about flash. All the og13 should just be retro cards imo. Heck I wish they'd just do all retro cards except for the deluxe figures.
If they do an all black Darklon, I'd get it. (Even with a red sword blade 😉) Was hoping they would update it a little more than what we're getting as I wasn't a fan of the original color scheme of this one.
When did he have an all black look?
@@LylesFigureFiles Never, as far as I know. :)
Another round of great Joes. AWE Striker was the only Joe vehicle I had as a kid.
I didn't actually get the AWE Striker as a kid, but did get the 25th Anniversary wave redux.
I got into gi joe classified early on in the line had about 10 of them needed money so I sold em off good thing I did cause I realized I only really like the retro designs I am basically just going to wait for all the figures to release in their retro costumes
Your collection is gaining steam lately with these great retro reveals.
Was there any word on if Flint's beret is removable? Regardless, him Breaker and Cover Girl look friggin awesome!
No words yet. They just showed them. I'm assuming they'll break more down whenever we get that livestream.
See the SNake Armmor being $55-60 each basicly 2 figs if so want 5 of them. Was hoping with the mass device would get the cobra diver and Joe Diver Yup want 5 of those also much needed. Breaker Retro is favorite on the new Retros didnt hate 1st Classified Breaker but did not say breaker in the least. Looking foward to everything announced. The only thing iffy about is Crackcase doesnt really stand out as character looks to be a random army builder fig> Can see Gridiron making the Canon For the Awe Striker as part of a upgrade kit. I am auctually planning on that happening so will get at least 1 or 2 extra just so when they do it have extras to use with
Yeah, a cannon for the AWE Striker really would be a nice addition!
So that's not actually RETRO Breaker? Because he's still got the modern joe pro and the computer on his vest? I'm thinking I'm going to hold off, because they will surely release him as a RETRO figure as well, right?
Pretty close to retro.
Maybe? That would be three breakers and they might run with the blue outfit like the cartoon too.
@@LylesFigureFiles I think we got what we got. How many breakers are people really going to buy. As much as I love breaker from the comics. I think I’m good with these two presented. Also I would say to me it looks like a cool dark grey (a gray that has blue in the mix). Maybe that’s why you’re thinking it’s blue.
Wish the tele viper had different mouth expressions.
That was my thoughts too. They should have retooled it so that the helmet/visor was separate and gave us alternate mouth expressions. All the Tele-Vipers are gonna be grimacing all the time.
Makes sense.
I'm all in on the SNAKE armor for sure, awe striker looks a little off, but I'll probably still get it. And yes on Cesspool please.
Cesspool would make for such a cool figure.
What are the chances we do get cartoon lady jaye in the retro line
She seems like she'd be a good bet for either Revenge of Cobra or Pyramid of Darkness.
We need more Official COBRA FEMALES in the line, such as, Leila, Raven, Zanya, Heartwrencher, Pale Peony, Biggles Jones, Crimson Asp, Munitia, Stilhetto. We have enough official females on the Joe side for now. The Cobra females only have 3 characters, which are Vypra, Zaranna and Baroness.
They've name announced that Heartwrencher is coming.
@@LylesFigureFiles Really? When was this? I follow them closely and they haven't name dropped her to my knowledge.
My take on retro Breaker
What was your take?
@@LylesFigureFilescan't get the pic to upload grrrrr
Stalker buck with Recondo arms painted dark green. Black stalker web gear and boots. Crimson guard pistol since he's a leftie. Covergirl iPad and holster dyed black. I do like the backpack, helmet and headsculpt. Slap those on the figure I just described and perfect retro breaker.
The Snake looks good, but I think I can pass on it. It's not quite as iconic as other vehicles like the Trubble Bubble. It didn't get much screen time, and I didn't know any kid that had one.
That G.I.Joe buggy looks great, but it's not the A.W.E Striker. Maybe FansProject will make a very faithfully adapted version of it. But it is a great set. Tons of gear for CrankCase.
Really don't know yet if I'll get it. 🤔
Darklon looks good, especuially that badass alternate head.. 💀
He'll go on my "If I can find the cash" list, along with Storm Shadow V2, MetalHead etc.
Figures I want, but aren't must-haves.
Slice and Dice is a great set. And I did have Slice when I was a kid, so I have a fondness for him.
I'm mostly passing on Classified ninjas, bit I'll get these ones.
Covergirl looks awesome, a definite buy, and like you, I will likely consider her a new character.
Flint's perfect, and the Televipers look better with their correct bare arms. I'm getting quite a collection of redundant figures..
I don't care about Breaker. The Green 13 are boring.
Maybe you can sell off the older versions of figures?
Flint looks good, but they screwed up Breaker. Does not have the appropriate harness.
If you have a spare Snake Eyes or Stalker you can fix him up.
@LylesFigureFiles on a positive note, I also love that Retro Rock n Roll
CoverGirl names? Get 2. Call one Revlon and one Maybelline!
Seriously, bravo. That cracked me up.
pretty happy w that snake armor i need a functional look at it to say for sure. that awe stryker is disappointing as fk, it needs the option to configure the arah look n accessories. this feels like a different vehicle altogether. at least grid iron has something close but neither quite nail it.
Wonder if Hasbro's AWE Striker will be $200 like Gridiron?
Face sculpt still doesnt look like Flint, the Awe Striker is terrible too
Okay
Hasbro said that it’s a 6 inch figure! Damn y’all thick headed!
Which figure are you talking about?
@ the snake armor….read the Hasbro pulse face book post it says it’s a “6 inch figure” I would assume the parts that open are to show internal mechanisms or like one dude said maybe a drone
I’m so glade I didn’t pull the trigger on super7 stuff as they where to expensive
Right!?!?
Looks like I'm going to be spending some money. G.I. Joe! Yo Joe! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
There you go! Welcome aboard!
@LylesFigureFiles I have just about all of them so far. Multiples of the Cobra Troops. I can't really afford the Vehicles. At $100 average they are a little more than I can handle. Retired, fixed income. I am hoping those Robots are affordable. Definitely would like Multiples of them. Right now I'm using Warhammer Armored Mechs Green for the Joe's and Warhammer Blue for Cobra.
Use Covergirl as Glenda.
Oh, I've got Glenda. Pretty fun co-pilot in the Dragonfly. She's gonna be my Sky Hawk pilot when it arrives.
Unpopular opinion but I never really liked Flint. He was a bit pretentious and it seemed like he was always eager to climb past Duke for rank and leadership. And I really resented him after he scolded Beach Head in that one episode. Uncalled for. Beah Head is my favorite Joe and I think he could mop the floor with Flint. You could tell he was close to doing it too in that episode.
How dare you, sir! ;-)
Hey, you like who you like. I dug Beach Head too.
I think the Crankcase, CoverGirl & Flint are good but the rest are an easy pass .. I wish we could have got Joes that we don't already have, like Flash or Air Tight .. even with the SNAKE Armor I prefer the Super7 Ultimates Retro look.. hopefully we'll get more real Joes next time before anymore DIC Joes
What do you mean by real Joes? The DIC characters were part of the main Real American Hero line, they just got saddled by a lame cartoon.
@LylesFigureFiles You know who the real Joes are .
be real flints almost perfect but his holster is obnoxiously large.
To be real, a holster's size is not going to hinder my enjoyment of a figure.
I wonder if Trump's stupid tariffs will raise the price on these figures 🤔🤔🤔
Well let’s hope someone takes some sense into him. Maybe send him a Big Mac and you can convince him to not do the tariffs. I want my toys on the cheap lol
I hope not.
They finally gave Flint a proper shotgun and not the weird pump/break action one that never made any sense from the first release and Tiger Force versions lmao.
I was ok with that first one, but REALLY like this new one!
Thats not black googles Thats the back of the helmet
