The fact that this line and Marvel Legends are both coming from the same company is hilarious to me. Classified is LEAGUES above Marvel Legends and proves, at least to me, that the ML line needs a new dev team.
The way some people have addressed this GI JOE is a Hasbro Property so there is no license fee.... So one line has more of a budget to allocate for new sculpts and accessories.... Also Joe's don't come with a BAF.....
I'm trying sooooo hard not to get into this line after not really liking the modernized versions of the classics.... BUT Hasbro pivoting to more classic designs and now watching your killer reviews, my resolve is wavering hard.
Hasbro is sitting on the potential for a best-seller if they ever decide to release the animals separately as a set (like how Star Wars released their creatures set). I say this because I am not into Joes but would really like to get the animal sidekicks.
I think it was Mr Evilcheese who said way back in his review of Zartan that his childhood favorite was Croc Master despite acknowledging as D-list at best, and he jokingly said he'd love to see him in this line, can't imagine how happy he'll be seeing this. I ordered this and Heavy Artillery Roadblock so he'd have another bruiser to go up against, he arrived today but this set isn't releasing for at least another 2 days in the UK. I almost skipped this since I was mainly into the line for the more realistic military characters, but then I remembered that I had Red Ninjas, Robots, the entirety of Cobra high command who aren't remotely realistic, and heck Zartan is what got me into the line and he's more Mad Max than military. Plus when this was announced I literally moved them all onto a bigger shelf to accommodate Fiona, so I can't wait to get a hold of it hopefully by the end of the week.
Is it weird that I love the reuse in this line? All the figures feel complete and separate characters while maintaining a line wide cohesive feel. The reuse doesn't feel like it gets in the way (unlike with some Marvel Legends) and I think the Joe teams deserves something for their smart reuse of parts.
Interesting that Crock Master stands on his own when holding Fiona's leash, the original Crock Master figure did the same thing! Looking forward to getting mine from Amazon, soon I hope.
New from G.I. Joe! In a world were alligators run rampant throughout Tampa, only one man can stop them! * Heavy Metal Music* FLORIDA MAAAANNNN Comes with jumbo action croc with biting action, whip, meat hook,and 2 radical gator daggers. TO BITE PEOPLE IN THE FACE!!!! All new Florida Man, coming to a toys' r us near you!
I remeber when I was a Toddler my Dad gave me some of his G.I Joes and Croc Master was one of them and me being a superhero nerd I called him Bane but when I got older I got to watch the G.I Joe Cartoon so Croc Master is how I got into the GI World
what I like about this review is Robo gets all the details in the sculpts as he looks the figure/s over. Sure, D had a friend who knew more about crocs gators than he did for some extra background info, and HoodCoCo is all about them Joe’s, but Robo’s enthusiasm for finding new things about a figure shines through. I had the original Croc, and I agree that there would have been a Bane parallel had he existed a few years earlier. My guy hung out in the Cobra camp, creeping out the Drednoks with his croc. Can’t wait to get this guy…or Spirit, SS, or anything new……..
They did such a fantastic job with this guy. I had the original 3 inch toy and seeing this... damn I hope it shows up locally. Croc Master wont fit into any of my displays these days, but nostalgia alone - yes.
Great review. cannot wait to get it soon. another great figure to the gi joe collection and love the sauron reference lol. keep up the reviews and enjoy your day today bro 👍
Love the "Beastmaster" reference. Yes I'm that old too!! 🤣🤣 Still one of my favourite movies. I wish there was an action figure line based on it. I'm working on some customs for it though.
Awesome video can't wait to get mad I've been checking it everyday lol been watching you for years first time I've ever commented normally I just watch you on my UA-cam on TV LOL
"How do we fight the Joe's laser guns, tanks, and stealth bombers, Cobra Commander?" "Crocodiles. A guy that's probably into BDSM with crocodilessssssss."
That was a dope review, (especially the introduce,) the baby crocs do have names. Their names are Georgie and Diablo. Question, is Fiona buoyant and how well would a 1:12 animal line do?
Mine finally came today! I’m to the Moon with this purchase! It’s just like he should be: creepy with a stitched-up mask for GI Joe disfigured face character #37! Gorgeous new buck (no taking that suit off, all new tooling of the torso! Just the right amount of pearlescent shine w/o going Elton John. Cool, realistic pistol, whip should be wired, decent control chain but real chain is always better. Fiona! You’d be hard pressed to find a better toy croc this size. I know Bane was mentioned in the video, and now even more certain Bane was DC ripping off Croc-Master. I never had the chance to get him as a kid, so again, Mission: Accomplished, Hasbro! Now let’s loo that Classified HISS Tank price IN HALF OR MORE. You really are not getting me to spend $300 on a PC upscaled version with $2 or less worth of Dollar Tree LEDs. Cry about it or fix it.
@@TheFwoosh maybe the marvel legends mcu Loki can be modded! I’m sure you will find a way haha;) First thing I’m going to try and do to mine.. Have a good day bud!
Love this figure I'm hoping they will give us a ptython patrol version with the another croc or an albino version like the babies would save buying two sets
Fun fact: mama crocodilians hold the babies in their mouths while they leave the nest. It's to protect them from predators like birds or adult males that might eat them. So now I kinda want to see if the babies will fit in Fiona's mouth lol
Love the review, both figures look great, my only drawback is the Croc’s teeth, I would probably strip them and repaint them more realistic, same for the babies, other than that, great set.
I am so excited about this set. Crocmaster was my favorite figure as s kid. Not to be pedantic, but the crocs jaw opening from the top only is biologically correct.
Awesome review ^^ Now the baby crocs from my understanding i think they gave them names but I'm not sure who's who but their names are Diablo and Georgie. I may be the only who thinks this but hearing those names reminds me of the song The Devil went down to Georgia, cause Diablo/Devil, Georgie/Georgia.
The soft spot on Fiona's belly is so that when you're photographing her in the water and you finish up you can squeeze that spot to expel the water..........clever bunnies Hasbro....
Glad to know it’s a good set. I had Croc Master as a kid and used him as fodder for a new character Mindbender simply called Parts 2. He was made from mostly Croc Master, with Tomax’ right and and Xamot’s left (or was that the other way around?), and I think he had commando Snake Eyes’ legs. It was stupid, but I grew very attached to him as he tried to find his way, guided by the real Croc Master (yes, I was a weird kid. Heavily into deep story destiny Joes). I might get two Croc Masters and Tomax, Xamot and commando Snake Eyes and recreate Parts 2 to stand by Croc Master.
I was wondering if the Marvel Legends firearm smoke effect would fit in that hole for the hose in the mouthpiece. Might make for a nice cold-morning breath.
I am willing to bet that the reason for the soft belly is that it can squirt water out of it's mouth. When the jaw was open, you can barely see what looked like a tube in the back (just below the bottom rear of the top jaw.
Great review as always! Love this character so much. Also hey Robo you should do a review on the mezco golden age batman and two face if ya ever pick it up! I reckon you'd love it mate
Love the figure an thanks for the review! I am disappointed again by the Classified figures distribution/release/delay issues. As when I spotted the video I got really excited thinking that since you had the figure to review, that must mean the figure is coming out soon... but no. Guessing this one is gonna be another 4 month delay until the rest of us can see it in hand. :(
I really hate that whip shape lol. But man i want that croc so bad. I love the timber figure so much so i hope we keep getting animals. They're killing it.
I want Hasbro to make animals packs from all of this animal sculps we have been getting, maybe a woulf 3pack whit generic colors maybe a couple of new heads, a crocodile two pack whit different deco ,and the future little critters we are getting in the future birds dogs and sneaks
I had the Original and the Valpr Vs. Venom second version. the 25th had a Donkey Kong Country looking thing for a Croc so I avoided that one. have this pack preordered and awaiting along with Storm Shadow and Spirit I think someone at DC was a fan and made Bane as. Croc Master came out in the 80s.
Hell yeah, I got my Croc Master a few days ago. You are right, Awesome! But I have a question about your podcast, you had a Guenavere figure from Dungeons and Dragons. Where did you get it and is there any others, like Dritz, or Wulfgar ? Or any other DnD figs in this scale?
Went ahead and pre-ordered Croc Master, since the likelihood of catching this at Target (our nearest Walmart doesn't even stock Classifieds anymore) is null. That probably means I won't have it in hand for months after a lot of other folks, but at least it looks like it's worth the wait. Now, to figure out how to get some of those Target exclusive vipers and BATs without paying exponentially more. Hasbro, your distribution sucks.
There’s a three-pack with two Vipers and a new Viper Officer figure and it’s easy to preorder. The per-figure price is pretty high, but way less than Target Vipers. Whoooops, you probably meant the Python Patrol ones. Nevermind.
@@toddjones1480 I was talking about the python patrol, but I was also happy to see that three pack. I pre-ordered one set, but I would still love to get my hands on a couple more of the non-officer vipers too.
I wish I cared more about GI Joe because the design choices for this line are all stellar (aside from a shirtless figure not having pinvisible elbow joints). I’ve genuinely considered picking up lots of these figs to use as custom ML fodder.
When I see this in stores the kid in me screams buy it, while the adult in me says no we don't need that. Now after watching this the kid in me says...see we did need this 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤣
I like the figure overall, but the mismatched skin tone for his traps and chest is something I can't unsee. Definitely need two of these for the full croc effect though.
You should get a Transformers Titans Return Skullsmasher so he can have 1 robot crocodile!
And Megallitor from the Beast Wars line.
The fact that this line and Marvel Legends are both coming from the same company is hilarious to me. Classified is LEAGUES above Marvel Legends and proves, at least to me, that the ML line needs a new dev team.
Couldn't have said it better
The way some people have addressed this GI JOE is a Hasbro Property so there is no license fee.... So one line has more of a budget to allocate for new sculpts and accessories.... Also Joe's don't come with a BAF.....
@@alejandromolinac no but they got accessories, and honestly accessories>baf
I'm trying sooooo hard not to get into this line after not really liking the modernized versions of the classics.... BUT Hasbro pivoting to more classic designs and now watching your killer reviews, my resolve is wavering hard.
I feel you man, Robo is solely responsible for getting me into Black Series before his killer reviews I was a mere admirer of the figures
My oldest brother had the O-ring Croc Master. I always loved those figures.
These figures do those justice.
Hasbro is sitting on the potential for a best-seller if they ever decide to release the animals separately as a set (like how Star Wars released their creatures set). I say this because I am not into Joes but would really like to get the animal sidekicks.
Animal sets would be amazing.
Great review for some awesome looking figures. Extra points for the BeastMaster reference 👍.
Can't wait to get this! Great review as always Robo! Keep doing your thing! I always looks forward to your videos!
Fiona is an amazing figure, keep on making those pet companions Hasbro

I am very happy! I just got him from Amazon today and been messing with him!
I told myself I wouldn't get too deep into this line but once I bought a couple of these figures now I'm hooked. I love the details on these.🔥🔥🔥
Amazing figure set, I have to agree that Fiona is the stand out piece.
As I stated on D Amazing review in croc master, seeing his belt just makes me want to scream out” thunder, Thunder, THUNDER GATORS, GOOOOO” .
Is it weird that I love the reuse in this line? All the figures feel complete and separate characters while maintaining a line wide cohesive feel. The reuse doesn't feel like it gets in the way (unlike with some Marvel Legends) and I think the Joe teams deserves something for their smart reuse of parts.
I never really thought about it, but I totally agree.
I just found this in Target in Edgewater, NJ. I started collecting these months ago, now I have a problem😊
Interesting that Crock Master stands on his own when holding Fiona's leash, the original Crock Master figure did the same thing!
Looking forward to getting mine from Amazon, soon I hope.
I recently got this figure. This is a really cool set!
New from G.I. Joe!
In a world were alligators run rampant throughout Tampa, only one man can stop them!

Comes with jumbo action croc with biting action, whip, meat hook,and 2 radical gator daggers. TO BITE PEOPLE IN THE FACE!!!!
All new Florida Man, coming to a toys' r us near you!
I wasn't sure if I needed this but ooooh yeah
Yeah I need this guy asap.
U can consider buying those crocodile figs from the wildlife series and match with fiona
I remeber when I was a Toddler my Dad gave me some of his G.I Joes and Croc Master was one of them and me being a superhero nerd I called him Bane but when I got older I got to watch the G.I Joe Cartoon so Croc Master is how I got into the GI World

I laughed in beastmaster! Awesome review can’t wait for mine to come in from dorkside!
Great review. cannot wait to get it soon. another great figure to the gi joe collection and love the sauron reference lol. keep up the reviews and enjoy your day today bro 👍
yes! Fiona! A star is born!
Love the "Beastmaster" reference. Yes I'm that old too!! 🤣🤣
Still one of my favourite movies. I wish there was an action figure line based on it. I'm working on some customs for it though.
Definitely saving my money for Croc Master & Fiona by selling my old toys from Fisher Price and Imaginext
Awesome! Cant wait till next year when the little peeps (general public), gets ours!👈🏽👍🏼🤣😎
Cant wait for mine to arrive!
Looking forward to getting my own sometime soon.
Hey Robo, the waist also has a very deep side to side pivot, not sure if you noticed.
I can't wait to get my hands on this!
Awesome video can't wait to get mad I've been checking it everyday lol been watching you for years first time I've ever commented normally I just watch you on my UA-cam on TV LOL
I wonder if the soft belly is for buoyancy? Might work good for poses in water if that’s the case!
Can’t wait to get this one!
I dont know much about Croc Master but it's a cool action figure and Fiona is amazing

Still got my original croc master. My favourite Joe figure as a kid. This version is tempting I must say…
I also had 1 as a kid. It was 1 of my more favourite figures but nothing beats Shipwreck.
Love the review, both figures look great, my only drawback is the Croc’s teeth, I would probably strip them and repaint them more realistic, same for the babies, other than that, great set.
If you want a poseable whip the NECA 80th anniversary Phantom has one that might work
I need to do a GI joe cartoon marathon weekend.
Would Killer Croc find him oppressive or would he follow?
3:30 They're called scutes.
Just got this at Ross for $11.99. 👍
Same!!!
You could just do Baroness and the Viper in the same video, comparing them to the previous released versions. Short n sweet.
I was already interested in Fiona (that's my baby brother's oldest's name) but the baby crocs!?!? I NEED them!
That bit with the leash LMAO
I am so excited about this set. Crocmaster was my favorite figure as s kid.
Not to be pedantic, but the crocs jaw opening from the top only is biologically correct.
It’s excellent. Would love a python patrol version repaint too.

I wants ALL them animals :)
Kodo and Podo... Beast Master reference? Great flick
Hey the FWOOSH, great review once again!!! You think it could go into a swimming pool?
I am willing to bet that the reason for the soft belly is that it can squirt water out of it's mouth. When the jaw was open, you can barely see what looked like a tube in the back (just below the bottom rear of the top jaw.
Or a way to suck in water to make it sink or float?
Stunning figure 👏👌

I’m a Croc Master boy, I’m a Big Boa boy. I love these weirdo crazy bastards, and this is still one of my favorite figures in the line.
You can get another so you can have 2 crocs and also you can make the new body fodder
I hope they do an IDW styled version.
Have no clue who he is but thinking he would work for a bane custom
Imma use the croc/gator from that ''Rampage" movie with The Rock...
I wonder if that rubber underlay is supposed to help with buoyancy if u want water poses?
I really hate that whip shape lol. But man i want that croc so bad. I love the timber figure so much so i hope we keep getting animals. They're killing it.
Never cared about joes, but I wonder how 3-4 would look around killer croc as henchmen.
Croc master was my dream G.I joe toy, but unfortunately I never got my hands on him.
Will be glad when this gets released in 2024.
I want Hasbro to make animals packs from all of this animal sculps we have been getting, maybe a woulf 3pack whit generic colors maybe a couple of new heads, a crocodile two pack whit different deco ,and the future little critters we are getting in the future birds dogs and sneaks
4:49 I'm weak lmfao 🤣
I was really hoping that he had the bite mark scars on his arm like the 25th Anniversary figure had... still a great figure.
I had the Original and the Valpr Vs. Venom second version. the 25th had a Donkey Kong Country looking thing for a Croc so I avoided that one.
have this pack preordered and awaiting along with Storm Shadow and Spirit
I think someone at DC was a fan and made Bane as. Croc Master came out in the 80s.
Croc master look like bane if he have a pet crocodile or killer croc if he was human
Haha i was thinking Bane took out killer croc from the beginning.
I want this badly! Also makes me think why can't our ML Lizard BAF have a bendy wire tail?
What’s with the Roddimus prime frame? Look at the bottom of the box, and bam Roddimus… subliminal messaging? 1:37 in the video.
Quite Fwooshy, of you
I imagine when Croc Master talks he sounds like Bane's brother.

The newer figures have went pinvisible, it's only when they reuse old parts that we see the pins again. Just like with Legends.
Is Fiona a croc? Or Gator tho? Great review Robo. I'm definitely trying to aquire one of these.
Crocogator
I still have the original crock master and a spare one.
@Robo did you ever see the crocodile from the NECA Steve Irwin???? It makes for an excellent second and compairs to this....

Not a GI Joe collector but I really like the Crocodile.
I snorted my drink when you named the babies.
Niche reference
Haha, I don't remember any of the other Beatmaster beast names, but those two are stuck in my head forever for some reason. Because they rhyme, maybe?
I believe the back scales on a crocodile are called scutes
I like the figure overall, but the mismatched skin tone for his traps and chest is something I can't unsee. Definitely need two of these for the full croc effect though.
Dude…the front of his shirt is the belly of a crocodile and his back is from the back of the croc that’s why.
