G.I. Joe was in its hayday when I was a child, so I missed most of the GI Joe Cartoon. Such a bummer, I grew up liking whatever was left of GI Joe. Not to mention the cartoon only played at 5am on the weekends. Hard to wake up that early.
I was pumped for this line until the exclusives took the wind out of my sails. I didn't have access to the locations all the exclusives were going to so that killed the line for me. They all look amazing together though. Great collection
Yeah, I have really enjoyed the line and I am a forever positive fan, but I admit the last two years have been rough. I think we all have gone through every emotion possible with this line. It seems like getting the figures have been easier since the Target restock last year. Slow, but easier.
@@MacDowin I think the figures look great! A friend has picked up a few for me since and I am looking forward to Croc Master. I just don't think I'll ever own the whole set. But what I do have I enjoy.
I've just started collecting them, and it was smooth sailing until the Cobra Island Target exclusives. I simply cannot find them at retail price anywhere, not even through Target. I'd be more than happy to purchase them loose, but collectors are hell-bent on trying to resell loose figures at retail or above.
So surprised to see this video pop up tonight. I have them all, but I've never seen them all together. I also am a MIB collector so this was my first time seeing many of them out of the package. Always love your content. It would be great to keep seeing Joe videos from you. Thank you!
Nice rundown on of the line so far, I'm impressed you made it thru without having a figure fall...just got an alley viper and man it looks great but dam those loose ankle joints.
Best part is the size difference in the individuals. Roadblock and Gung Ho were always monsters in the gijoe community. As was Zartan which they also added. The one I really like even tho he wasn't always huge is Barbecue. He's a big mean firefighter and they showed it here.
I have NEVER seen a Major Blood or Break in store. I only randomly found 1 BBQ and that was recently. It had an imperfect box, but I got it since I knew I probably wouldn't find another one. I almost never find any Joe's in stores except the same couple that no one wants, and this goes back to the beginning.
I have had to order most of them from the internet. The movie figures, CC, Flint, Lady Jaye, & Major Bludd are the only figures I have seen randomly in store.
Great video, the collection looks awesome. To hell with these exclusives lol. I quit the line for a good year and got sucked back in to see more exclusives. Oh well i guess 💔
I just wish this line had went for classic designs instead of the style they chose. With Super 7 doing the cartoon designs that will be what I collect, but I'd love to get these if they had not strayed so far from the OG designs, but I realize a lot of folks want updated looks so I guess there are lines for each collector.
I would call the gold head destro as pimpin Destro. Road block is huge like the original road pig . I remember how big road pig was compared to the rest Zanzibar was also a big figure but road pig dwarfed them all. He was bigger than my refrigerator perry and Sargent Slaughter.
You are welcome. I will be updating it soon. Waiting to see of Stalker and the Twins get released in the next month or so. Yes, Cobras always seem to have the cooler looking outfits. Future figures are no exception.
I never seen 95% of those anywhere. Weren't exactly looking for them. But randomly I check to see. Most online buys only? Seems all I ever see is the storm shadow n snake eyes every time. Am seeing the super7 reaction figures. Kinda cool.
Yes, most were online buys. I maybe saw 1 Duke and 1 Roadblock in different stores back in 2020. The first figures I really started seeing were Flint, Lady Jaye, and Major Bludd in 2021. Since then I have seen most figures in stores.
I literally am beholding how long has the line gone so far, yes it had some very unnecessary troubles but it seems to be going good really. Seeing how you gathered most of the figures here it puts a smile to my heart, just seeing most of these figures, sorta comparing them with each other, wondering which ones i want to find someday, which ones I'll pass and so on. One thing is for sure, i won't be getting all of them and i don't neither expect to find the ones i want to find easier, but within time and preference i would love to see how my desired G.I. Joe classified collection goes.
I did. 🙁 I realized that when I got to the primary field variants. I will have to refer back to the Pulse live stream, but I don’t think Snake Eyes was classified as a field variant. I think he and Destro were just changed.
Sorry, I didn't mean to be THAT guy lol. Destro was definitely just a running change but I'm not sure what Snake Eyes was considered. The change seemed to happen at the same time as the other field variants so I lumped him in with them. It's not like they could really change his color scheme.
No worries at all. Yeah, Snake Eyes was a significant enough change. They also moved the knife into the sheath in the package. I have never seen that version in person and don't want to try and buy it on eBay because I want to 100% know what I am getting.
Anybody know where to get cool posters or t-shirts? I always see cool pictures online but most not available to buy. They could make a mint if they would actually do posters and t-shirts more. Much more.
I dont understand how you were able to get every figure? Do you have a bot ordering system or something? I have never heard of anyone being able to get every figure off the shelf in stores...Tell us your secret!
No bots. I put in the work. Also, not all figures were on shelf. Amazon & Pulse exclusives don't make it to a shelf. I bought Firefly on eBay, but I never should have as he was easily available later from Targets website summer of 2021. I bought Viper v1, Baroness v1, Major Bludd, Akiko box v2, Zartan v1, Cobra Infantry from brick stores. Several of those I stood outside and waited for the store to open. All the rest were purchased online. Even though we all hate pre-orders at this point, I did pre-order most all of them. I usually place pre-orders in multiple locations. Hasbro Pulse is where I order everything because they will send them out, even crazy late. I also order from Amazon as soon as pre-orders go live. I usually have the links ready a few minutes before hand. If they are exclusives, I order from those websites. I won't lie, collecting this line has been stressful at times, but it really has been easy to get all the figures. If you have patience this line is really fun. Even the Amazon exclusives pop in and out of stock. Good luck on the hunt. It will just get easier from here on.
For one thing the Snake Eyes movie figures were ready for release, but the movie was delayed and so the figures were also delayed. A few other shipping and convention delays caused a couple figures to be out of their intended order. With the virus and a new line, it was unfortunately a perfect storm. I think the line has done wry well considering everything it went through.
Hey great video. My boxes were ruined in a flood and im now searching for collectors who prefer out of box, do you or anyone have the boxes for 00 through 09 and 14 through about 18 plus exclusives except the target exclusives i found those. Any help would be appreciated im also looking for vehicle boxes for 25th anniversary to recent in good condition
Dang, that really sucks. I had a fire back in 2014 and lost a lot. I can totally feel for you. The best suggestion I would have is to check out some of the G.I. Joe Facebook groups. I am sure someone out there has some boxes. I wish you good luck on the search.
As a popular Cobra character she was released as a Target exclusive. On top of that she was very hard to find in stores. A lot of people got frustrated.
It’s a fun side figure. Def not a serious mainline figure and not for everyone. It was probably made because they could reuse the Destro build, the designers were having fun for an exclusive, and it was a Classified update of the original ‘90s figure.

Try Hasbro Pulse for some. Just checked and Beach Head, Roadblock, and Barbecue are available.
for people outside US it is a nightmare to collect them. And I refuse to pay scalper price.
They look so amazing but are so expensive. Just to have one would be awesome! Great video by the way.
Thank you. Updated video coming soon.
So surprised to see this video pop up tonight. I have them all, but I've never seen them all together. I also am a MIB collector so this was my first time seeing many of them out of the package. Always love your content. It would be great to keep seeing Joe videos from you. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Same here, most of mine are MIB. Cool to see them all out
As a kid who grew up playing with the 3" figures, I would have loved to have these back then. The size and detail is great.
Even better, you can get them now 💪🏼
Thank you for the figure line-up! Can't wait to see more Joes and Cobras going on store shelves.
I was obsessed with 25th anniversary collecting. I had over 300 figures. But I totally missed out on this line! Figures look awesome.
They are fun.
I am Glad to be all caught up for the moment, I have them all and a few doubles. Nice video 👍🏾
The basic cobra goons(vipers troopers and bats) are my favs
They are pretty cool.
Nice rundown on of the line so far, I'm impressed you made it thru without having a figure fall...just got an alley viper and man it looks great but dam those loose ankle joints.
I thought I was missing more but I'm mostly all caught up except for a few repaints.
Nice!
I’m waiting for Hit and run. Great display.
Hit and Run would be awesome!
thank you! my dreams come true! was waiting to see all of them together so I can choose which multi-versions of were better!
You are welcome. Glad I could help out. I will be doing an update video in a couple months when Stalker and the Twins get released.
What a fantastic collection! Really nice looking action figures!

That was an awesome video. Thank you for sharing.
Very nice video. 😉
From a collector to a collector, strong inspiration. 👍
Wow, thank you. Glad you enjoyed. 😃👍

I agree, the way they make modern figures give a better sense of size compared to all the 3 3/4" figures that mostly the same size and proportions.
I have NEVER seen a Major Blood or Break in store. I only randomly found 1 BBQ and that was recently. It had an imperfect box, but I got it since I knew I probably wouldn't find another one. I almost never find any Joe's in stores except the same couple that no one wants, and this goes back to the beginning.
I have had to order most of them from the internet. The movie figures, CC, Flint, Lady Jaye, & Major Bludd are the only figures I have seen randomly in store.
You could make a comparison (if it's possible) between the old/classic 84' 85' figure and the new ones.
Do you mean compare a ‘83 figure with a new classified figure in general or a specific figure/character in both scales?
@@MacDowin
83'???
That old am I???
Sorry. Meant ‘84.
Do an update on this video 2020 - 2022 figure checklist!
I absolutely will. Waiting on Zarana, Dusty, and Crimson Guard. The last half of this year has been nuts.
really really want to see a rock n roll version 2 in this line, with both gatlin guns
That would be sick. Fully agree.
Great video, the collection looks awesome. To hell with these exclusives lol. I quit the line for a good year and got sucked back in to see more exclusives. Oh well i guess 💔
Yeah, a crazy amount of exclusives. I hear ya, its gets discouraging.
Great Video brother.
This is Ishalan btw
Thank you man.
@@jasonarnold7562 ha! Ishalan. Imagine seeing u here. -Hulk
Any iron grenadiers coming put or I already miss those too lol. More crimson guards too.
No Iron Grenadiers yet, but I hope soon. Those are great characters.
Yes they are. Thanks for getting back to me on all of this.
I just wish this line had went for classic designs instead of the style they chose. With Super 7 doing the cartoon designs that will be what I collect, but I'd love to get these if they had not strayed so far from the OG designs, but I realize a lot of folks want updated looks so I guess there are lines for each collector.
Nice I am missing about 10 so far
I would call the gold head destro as pimpin Destro. Road block is huge like the original road pig . I remember how big road pig was compared to the rest Zanzibar was also a big figure but road pig dwarfed them all. He was bigger than my refrigerator perry and Sargent Slaughter.
Yeah, when they release Road Pig he will be like 8 inches tall. Massive figure. Hopefully next year. Lenny wants to make that figure.
Thanks for the video there's more awesome cobra figures than Joe's
You are welcome. I will be updating it soon. Waiting to see of Stalker and the Twins get released in the next month or so. Yes, Cobras always seem to have the cooler looking outfits. Future figures are no exception.

Great video 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thank you.
The snake eyes figures he's been an awesome night creeper!
Alley Viper was my favorite as a Kid, It's the only one I have now :D.
Amazing how many we've had in a year and a half.
Really is when you stand them all out together.
That is a lot of Roadblocks and Snake Eyes fast. Sure, Snake Eyes had a movie, but it is still a lot of the ninja.
More Snake Eyes coming.... Yea.... 😐
you need to get a valaverse Sgt slaughter it is meant to be in this line
Great video
I literally am beholding how long has the line gone so far, yes it had some very unnecessary troubles but it seems to be going good really.
Seeing how you gathered most of the figures here it puts a smile to my heart, just seeing most of these figures, sorta comparing them with each other, wondering which ones i want to find someday, which ones I'll pass and so on.
One thing is for sure, i won't be getting all of them and i don't neither expect to find the ones i want to find easier, but within time and preference i would love to see how my desired G.I. Joe classified collection goes.
Personally I like getting the No named characters like the grunts and troopers
A green shirt troop would be cool at some point.
My top 5 figures so far have been
Beachead
Destro
Zartan
Major Bluud
Vipers
That is a great Top 5.
You missed the Destro circle/no circle & Snake Eyes field variant.
I did. 🙁 I realized that when I got to the primary field variants.
I will have to refer back to the Pulse live stream, but I don’t think Snake Eyes was classified as a field variant. I think he and Destro were just changed.

I have never seen that version in person and don't want to try and buy it on eBay because I want to 100% know what I am getting.
No #9 Cobra Commander Snake Supreme?
That was cool.
Thank you.
OVER KILL on Snake Eyes !!! When does Crock Master come out ???
Croc Master has apparently been delayed until August. And yes, Snake Eyes burn out is real.
Once Super7 gets rolling, I'm wondering if this line will be sort of tossed to the side?
Yeah, very interesting to see what happens when those figures land. I am excited to see that first wave.
thks for the video
You are welcome.
You forgot the variant of timber. Some versions have him being anatomically correct and some have him neutered. Lol
Baroness b looking fine!
Anybody know where to get cool posters or t-shirts? I always see cool pictures online but most not available to buy. They could make a mint if they would actually do posters and t-shirts more. Much more.
There are some official posters here: shoptrends.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=+g.i.+joe+classified
Last exclusive ever? Isn't the Tiger Force B.A.T. and Guard exclusive to Target?
I was referring specifically to the Cobra Island themed Target Exclusives. Yes, Target now has Tiger Force and Python Patrol for exclusives.
@@MacDowin But, you said last Target exclusive period, not last Cobra Island, but I get it.
11:34 - “The final two Target Cobra Island exclusives, ever. As far as we know, arrived in September and October.” 😁
@@MacDowin I said I get it. If "final Cobra Island exclusive" wassaid maybe I missed it, my apologies.

What did they skip numbers and not go in sequential order?

A few other shipping and convention delays caused a couple figures to be out of their intended order. With the virus and a new line, it was unfortunately a perfect storm.

I was going to go all in on this line, but Hasbro screwed the pooch with all the exclusives.
Nice!
Can someone post a link if this guy made a 22 video
I have been delayed in releasing it. Hopefully this week.

@@MacDowin man thank you i had to open nearly all my entire run of joe vehicles from around 92 to current. Thank you though. God bless
Proud to say i have major blood
Why was the first baroness controversial?
As a popular Cobra character she was released as a Target exclusive. On top of that she was very hard to find in stores. A lot of people got frustrated.
Where are their accessories? It's driving me nuts.
Off to the side in the containers I keep them in. I am getting ready to film an updated video. Maybe I should include them holding some accessories?
@@MacDowinI was just joking around. I don't collect anymore so I like to see all of the cool accessories 🙂
Noted. I will add in the accessories for next weeks video. Thank you for the suggestion.
Hey mc what season you started to play fortnite?
Season 7.
Thus line is awesome. But too many repeat figure.
Hi
Hello.
You actually like pimp daddy Destro? I hate that figure. Question how that was even made?
It’s a fun side figure. Def not a serious mainline figure and not for everyone.
It was probably made because they could reuse the Destro build, the designers were having fun for an exclusive, and it was a Classified update of the original ‘90s figure.
Neat but overpriced
I would have gotten into these if they werent $50+ everywhere I seen them. Toy collecting has just turned into a rip off nowadays.
It definitely has not been easy.
Do fortnight legend sires
I will, but I have to find about 6 more figures.
Ok your amazing
👍👍
NO ONE is chasing after those trash movie figures. Garbage versions from a garbage movie.
Many might be chasing them now, but many still got them.
I'd get snake eyes just because I need a version of him
Looks like a lot of wastes of money. AND EVERY Roadblock us cringe af
