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.
Figures really look awesome. That snake armor is off the charts. They better manufacture a ton of them because they will sell. The awe doesn't look right with different size wheels.
Kind of surprised they didn't pack Darklon in with his Evader. Maybe they could do that? Make that a retro vehicle release, since they haven't done that yet. On Slice and Dice, the first wave of Ninja Force figs didn't have they spru setup, they just came with a few weapons each. I'm a little sad they didn't include the big sword that Slice originally came with in that packout, but that's a lot of gear for the both of them.
I need that S.N.A.K.E. armor/robot. I hope it's not too expensive. My favorite Joe vehicles are the Rolling Thunder followed by The General and the Defiant Launch Complex.
All look really good! Flint should have come with an alternate head. Perhaps one with an open mouth for his “Yo Joe” battle cry. AWE Striker should have same size wheels. People already calling it a tractor.
The S.N.A.K.E. has a hinge in the bottom center of the torso. The figure would have to sit in a chair I think, and so it has to be pretty deep and tall! 12 inches tall?
It is a good thing that the visible chest gap of some figures can be hidden with the uniforms, the other issue imo is the long hair of Cover Girl that may limit the head articulation.
Personally I don't collect the retro stuff, just prefer the classified looks instead. All the newer stuff coming out looks great and cant wait to pre order it all.
Wow, these figures are looking very cool Mike. Flint is just perfect like that Covergirl with that cap head looks much better, I have to display her like that, Tele Vipers ooooh yeah I need at least 3😁, Braker, it's OK. The Divers from the mini series looks great. Fantastic army builders since at the beginning of the show the Joes used those yellow suits and the cobras the red one. Darklon... Looks kind of too dark and his shape looks different. I'm not big fan of this version. Slice and dice, I like some of the mask, specially the metallic one for Dice. The Snake looks Very impressive. I need at least one, maybe two... the AWE Striker looks very cool... You can 3 figures?😀💡👍
I wasn't big on ninja force, but Slice and Dice are iconic enough that I need them. I want a classic Wetsuit, not falling for the scuba 2pack though. The Snake armor looks good. The Striker is kind of a must but only if it's easily configurable to make it more classic.
I have been waiting for the AWE Striker for a while now, and it is not like I expected, but it could work. Cover Girl temps me even if I cobbled together one with a Black Widow head.. Darklon, I will pick up. He looks kinda strange but the original design was like that, too.. Now we only need someone to decide to make a Retro Mayor Bludd.
The diver 2 pack is what they looked like in the MASS Device cartoons. Cobra had red divers. GI Joe had Torpedo and the others Joes got in those Yellow suits.
I'll take 2 awe strikers and the 3 retros for sure, maybe breaker but I have the 1st one and wonder if he's going to be different enough to justify, idc for the mass device parts or se v4, the divers are a maybe but darklon and slice n dice are hard passes, after my time and DC about them at all. The snake armor is cool but no way a figure fits in that so I'll pass
So many accessories and hands, someone needs to tell star wars whats up. You know the MASS device is coming, all 3 elements have come out already, just hope its not an exclusive. They are really doing a great job on all these, hope they do different races for the Tele-Viper.
I’m glad all I collect is GIJOE. You said price over 80 times in this video. I never worry about price because GIJOE Is all I buy. The “price is the price.” By the way you’ll pay 120$ for a knockoff but you want the official Hasbro stuff to be less? Got it!
Everyone has their own tastes, but the whole RETRO look thing just sucks. I wish transformers and G.I. Joe would just move forward and create fresh designs. I hope constantly creating two looks doesn't hold back classified. I guess everyone's happy, which is good.
Hard disagree, all most Joe fans have wanted for decades is 6 inch upscaled ARAH characters. There's a reason the "modern look" was luke warm at start and Hasbro pivoted to more classic designs.
Agreed. My retro carded figures stay that way, on card looking like giant versions of what I saw as a kid in the store (if you don’t look too hard at the card art). When I get regular classified figs I open em, then usually buff to myself that they look off just enough where I am feeling “meh” about em. Snow Job and Doc come to mind. I have the classified versions of both, but don’t love em as much as the originals. Now the new cobra commander, Gung Ho, Snow Serpent, Eel, Beachhead, etc, they look frickin awesome to me. But I am an old geezer who played with all that stuff as a kid so what is my opinion worth? Though lately there has been talk that Hasbro realizing these are for adults more than kids, so why not cater to new and old designs, see what sells and doesn’t. I check local toy aisles all the time when I am at a store. I rarely see kids looking, maybe once out of 8 or 9 times on average. When I was a kid if went to a department store etc, I would have been dropped off at toy aisle and stayed there until my parents were done shopping. Different times
Love the Gi Joe retro collection 🍻
Except the packaging.
@rena4050 the packaging is the best part. The art is gorgeous. Just my opinion

I agree with you 100% on the awe striker. It doesn't look right, to say the least.
Yep. That awe is off to me.
The Scuba figures are interesting along with some other characters.
Cool. Tentative release dates?
Kind of surprised they didn't pack Darklon in with his Evader. Maybe they could do that? Make that a retro vehicle release, since they haven't done that yet.

I hate what they did to the awe striker. It looks like it is part of final faction.
How can you ruin the AWE Striker? I've been waiting for this, now I'm sad.
These retro figures look the best by far.
"that bad"? Dude, more optimist! Those are awesome!
Personally I don't collect the retro stuff, just prefer the classified looks instead. All the newer stuff coming out looks great and cant wait to pre order it all.
That cover girl is fire. About time Hasbro. As for the AWE striker it look's like someone at Hasbro thinks they got skills like Grid Iron Studios.
Wow, these figures are looking very cool Mike.

I suppose I'll get Flint, not sure about cover girl yet.

Cover Girl temps me even if I cobbled together one with a Black Widow head..
Darklon, I will pick up. He looks kinda strange but the original design was like that, too..

The 2026 lineup is looking great. (Because 2025 is the year of the Snake so only COBRA! stuff.)
The diver 2 pack is what they looked like in the MASS Device cartoons. Cobra had red divers. GI Joe had Torpedo and the others Joes got in those Yellow suits.
Nice video! Snake armor? I'm getting that!
Cover Girl and the Snake Armor.
I'll probably only get Cover Girl and Flint (maybe), to be honest.
Dang that Skyhawk is pricey, hoping Hasbro can make one cheaper.
I'll take 2 awe strikers and the 3 retros for sure, maybe breaker but I have the 1st one and wonder if he's going to be different enough to justify, idc for the mass device parts or se v4, the divers are a maybe but darklon and slice n dice are hard passes, after my time and DC about them at all.

I’m with you with the AWR Striker. I hope that back rollbar and seat are removable.
I like ninja stuff, but going to pass on slice n dice. My hardcore joe fan friends hate it.
I’m pretty ambivalent towards most of the stuff here but that AWE Striker looks terrible, not what I was expecting to see at all. Super disappointing.
I agree with you. Tha awe striker is so disappointing.
So many accessories and hands, someone needs to tell star wars whats up. You know the MASS device is coming, all 3 elements have come out already, just hope its not an exclusive. They are really doing a great job on all these, hope they do different races for the Tele-Viper.
Yikes.... I might pass on this. Not a good looking vehicle

Hey there cheeseburger. I thought you were done but GI Joe after last year. Now you’re back into buying more? Contradicting yourself again I see.
