At first I was disappointed he wasn't a direct copy of the POC figure but then I noticed the grey hair and it hit me this is Shadow Tracker just older, wiser, more seasoned. He's back and he's even more deadly now. I made the tough call to let go of my modern Joes when Classified started. Getting Shadow Tracker this early on is a treat and makes me feek good with my choice. Classified is fixing to be one of the best Joe lines covering 60s to today if the rumors are true. And this is only within the first 3 years
I really liked the Pursuit of Cobra figure, so I'm gravitating toward this one. Only thing I'm not crazy about is how the dreadlocks lay flat, I'd have liked a bit more splay to them. Other than that, he's got the right mix of mystery and menace.
The skull is his face the other 2 are masks , (the clear and the jaguar ) take this from John warden the guy that's design the figure , he says his face skin get eaten by nanomytes , that's why he wear a mask , this was on the rise of cobra era , also the prototype have a neo viper mask but they change the design , but u can see that neo viper mask u can see that detail on the poc figure package the art was from Mike Thompson
Yes, and hopefully Night Adder too. That bright blue ink would look awesome in 6 inch scale. And they could use the first Roadblock torso without the beater and the Slaughter legs with a new head. Easy kitbash/repaint...might have just talked myself into doing it, lol.
Another great review. I love how you a straight and to the point. I’m always looking to see if the figs have bendy weapons. I don’t want Hasbro guns to be Vala stiff (which isn’t a bad thing, but I worry about breaking them trying to get them into the hands), they should have some play so you don’t have to worry about snapping them. Definitely picking this guy up. I love the look. I love it when GI Joe gets weird.
Counter weight for bow. Curious how all the accessories mount to the backpack. Does the head move well, considering the hair piece? Masks look sick. Thank you the review.
love the video you always with the bangers early.....he is a def to buy but I think I'll make a kitbash version on him based on the parts he uses awesome review again
Great review! I never thought they were going to bring that PoC masterclass into Classified! Super hyped to get a few of him! I might have to cut the animal skirt off one for more movement. Also interested in see what GridIron will cook up for him.
@@beesbattlegrounds depends on his popularity. walmart is one of the top scalped companies when it comes to store exclusives. they might as well just make them ebay exclusive and cut out the middle man.
A very interesting aesthetic. I wish they'd fix the weapons plastic. Seen one on eBay UK for £100 and was tempted for about 0.3 of a second. I can wait, but I will definitely want at least one. Nice one Bee.
Bummed that the transparent hockey mask doesn't have the eye holes cut out like the original figure. I liked seeing the white eyes peering through them. I get the feeling we'll be seeing some custom casts of that mask being made available at some point with eye holes added.
Great review. He looks awesome. I’ll order one whenever he goes up for pre-order. That bow though, they have to use harder/stiffer plastic. It gets real annoyIng.
Great looking figure. I normally hate the new designs, but this guy looks like he would of fit right in with the original ARAH line. Yep, he looks like a 1987 release for sure.
Get the $&#@ outta here!!! How in the hell have you been getting these figures so quickly??!!! I recently discovered your channel and have been impressed with the speed in which you get stuff and the detailed overviews. Good stuff, but I'm still in amazement.
Knife appears to be a Kukri shape… famous knife used by Gurkha soldiers, great for outdoors, bushwhacking, survival, and infamous for delimbing opponents.
I want him but I’m not getting my wig split to get him on eBay since it’s Walmart and I will never see it in the wild . Don’t know why stupid hasbro won’t make it a general release which is why I’m not a big fan of gi joe anyway .I see they cheaped out on the weapons since the original had different ones but again it’s hasblow 😒 so yea he’s cool but I’m not jumping thru any fiery hoops to get him .
I didn't want him when they originally announced him, but he's warming on me. So, I will pick him up. Perfect Dreadnok character. Yeah, looks like Zartan re-use on the legs and biceps/shoulders. It's all well done.
That's a cool looking figure. Even with the Zartan reuse he stands out from the Cobra crowd. Menacing as Hell. Not sure how his bow is warped when it's in plastic free packaging.🤔
Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but because it's just thrown in the paper bag with the rest of the stuff instead of laying flat in a plastic tray
@@beesbattlegrounds no I wasn't being sarcastic. I just meant sometimes the plastic trays (which I like) can deform the accessories. For instance my Cobra officer's helmet was squished in at the sides. Black series Boba Fett figure's helmet was also pancaked. It just happens when the tray is a little too tight. Also Hasbro seems to be using gummy plastic.
While I do like the Masks he comes with, they should've given him more weapons, ones unique to his style since apparently he distaste guns. As he comes, he seems too similar to Storm Shadow.
after hearing “zartan reuse” several times i realized that zartan is the real shadow tracker. i just like the head and hair sculpts, and masks, but hes now a pass.
Sucks that it’s a Walmart Exclusive, really lazy that it’s a Zartan kitbash . They should’ve done a Basketball/ muscular etc etc. figure. I don’t know maybe homage the Predator height since it supposed to homage the Predator. Since this line is just becoming a lazy overpriced kitbash exclusive line , losing interest 😴
More unique base bodies in this line than in any other 6 inch action figure line. There are a ton, to be honest, and there isn't a single line that isn't kitbashing or repainting. Not to mention, it's GI Joe, which has always leaned into that as a way to deliver a wide range of characters. Just seems like an odd criticism given that you literally can't collect 6 inch figures without accepting kitbashes. As for the character's size, it's based on the figure from POC which wasn't particularly big.
the piece for the bow is a counterweight stabilizer
You beat me to it! 🤟🏿🤟🏿

I never thought of this! I really like the idea that this is the same guy only older and more experienced!

Sup, Bee. The thing that plugs into the front of his bow is a weight for stabilzation/balance
Just picked this one up a few days ago and he jumped straight to the top as one of my favorites of the classified line. He looks so mean and badass.

They stabilizer for compound bows
I'll definitely be grabbing this. Love the weird characters. Hopefully we get tombstone too.

It's a counter weight stabilizer it helps balance the bow and takes shock and also makes the bow quieter when shooting it
Never had the original figure, but I had to get him. Preordered him on Pulse. Figure looks badass!
My most anticipated figure from classified might double up on him
Another great review. I love how you a straight and to the point. I’m always looking to see if the figs have bendy weapons.

I have no knowledge of this guy, but I think he would look amazing on my Merc shelf. 🐯
Thanks for the review. Shadow Tracker and Agent Helix are among the figures that I am looking forward to the most.
It is a counter weight for the bow when you pull it back.
oh and the bow looks like SAS Feud 25-70 compound bow and the "suppressor" it's just a stabilizer I can't make out what it looks like
Oh heck yeah I cannot wait to pick that one up All of them I don't even care that they're not OG I just want them cuz they look amazing🎉😂😊
Thank you so much. These walmart exclusives are they found at walmart?
Nice figure...wonderful detailing.
The piece is to stabilize the bow by adding counter weight.
thanks for another awesome review. I will swap armor and make another variant for Zartan.
DAMN! Great review of Shadow Tracker. Only thing he would be missing would be the bola or that 3 headed mace.
Just mine today, so looks like I found your review at the right time.
Loved the POC era, hope we get more from there and the “new sculpt” era too.
Counter weight for bow. Curious how all the accessories mount to the backpack. Does the head move well, considering the hair piece? Masks look sick. Thank you the review.
It doesn't have full range but it can still turn pretty well
He will look awesome next to the color change Zartan with the skull mask.
Bro, he looks so damn awsome. I love that green yellow Mask
I'm excited to see the Classified line expanding into the Pursuit of Cobra stuff, hope we get more!
love the video you always with the bangers early.....he is a def to buy but I think I'll make a kitbash version on him based on the parts he uses awesome review again
Shadow would be great for some photo shots with Spirit.
Man this is a good looking figure. Definitely looking forward to this guy.
Great review! I never thought they were going to bring that PoC masterclass into Classified! Super hyped to get a few of him! I might have to cut the animal skirt off one for more movement. Also interested in see what GridIron will cook up for him.
With a litte bit of customising this figure will be amaising!!
I'll probably never get this one due to none of the walmarts in my area ever stocking any exclusive figures.
Hopefully you can score him on line!
@@beesbattlegrounds depends on his popularity. walmart is one of the top scalped companies when it comes to store exclusives. they might as well just make them ebay exclusive and cut out the middle man.
Damn looks incredible.
Great review as always, definitely gonna pick this figure up. Just subscribed
Looks badass, looking forward to getting him.
Great review. Just found your channel. I like it.
A very interesting aesthetic. I wish they'd fix the weapons plastic. Seen one on eBay UK for £100 and was tempted for about 0.3 of a second. I can wait, but I will definitely want at least one. Nice one Bee.
Could it be Crazy Legs or Ripcord? They're Night Force.
I didn't want him. Was going to pass. But not no more. Dam it. Great video sir.
Bummed that the transparent hockey mask doesn't have the eye holes cut out like the original figure. I liked seeing the white eyes peering through them. I get the feeling we'll be seeing some custom casts of that mask being made available at some point with eye holes added.
Or carefully drill them out.
Hey Bee, I believe that’s a “Cookery Blade” that Shadow Tracker comes with.
Yup -- Kukri
Great review. He looks awesome. I’ll order one whenever he goes up for pre-order. That bow though, they have to use harder/stiffer plastic. It gets real annoyIng.
I have the POC figure, and love him. I will see about getting this guy and if I can customize him to be what I want.
Great looking figure. I normally hate the new designs, but this guy looks like he would of fit right in with the original ARAH line. Yep, he looks like a 1987 release for sure.
Nice review! Where are you located? How did you receive it so early? Again, thanks for sharing.
Stabilizer, helps with vibration after the shot on a compound bow.
Awesome review. I want 2 of these.
A first-rate review of Shadow Tracker and his awesome accessories!
Get the $&#@ outta here!!! How in the hell have you been getting these figures so quickly??!!! I recently discovered your channel and have been impressed with the speed in which you get stuff and the detailed overviews. Good stuff, but I'm still in amazement.
Great figure, I have the 3 3/4 scale one and this is pretty close.
Is this available for order? Haven't seen this anywhere.
Most def getting him.
Awesome review man! 👊🏿
Definitely gonna get this guy.
He's not due for a while, right?
Probably by the end of the year at the latest
Got to get this dude he will go good with the dreadkocts
Hello friend, already I can buy this figure at walmart?
When does he go up for preorder?
Maybe at PulseCon or the next Walmart collector con
Wow! This is a cool one and I want it! I do lol!
He looks like he is ready to wreck someone nice review🎉🎉🎉
I am going to get him 🎉🎉🎉
Is this a stand alone or army builder character?
Stand alone
a bit confused of the wave released, website guide says this will be out on 2024 so how this was on sale already?
Import
@@beesbattlegrounds i see, the release date is different per country
Kukri blade!
Knife appears to be a Kukri shape… famous knife used by Gurkha soldiers, great for outdoors, bushwhacking, survival, and infamous for delimbing opponents.
DOPE!🔥🔥🔥👏💎
Where did you get this figure so early?
The thing that goes on the bow is a counter weight
Awesome figure
Good video but who is he though, I dont remember him in the cartoon
He came around during Pursuit of Cobra
I want him but I’m not getting my wig split to get him on eBay since it’s Walmart and I will never see it in the wild . Don’t know why stupid hasbro won’t make it a general release which is why I’m not a big fan of gi joe anyway .I see they cheaped out on the weapons since the original had different ones but again it’s hasblow 😒 so yea he’s cool but I’m not jumping thru any fiery hoops to get him .
I am trying to stay OG but damn does he look good
How were you able to get this figure so soon.
Awesome figure 👍👍👍👍
Where can you get this figure at?
Cool fig, wish they gave me him better lower legs. Those big ass biker boots for a tracker dude in the jungle doesn't really work.
Definitely needs green jungle boots
When does the figure hit the store, anybody know
I didn't want him when they originally announced him, but he's warming on me. So, I will pick him up. Perfect Dreadnok character. Yeah, looks like Zartan re-use on the legs and biceps/shoulders. It's all well done.

@jonathanhampshire6856 definitely and it's let down
why the back mask does not come off.....
His original face was eaten by nanomites, so his skull/nanomites are exposed
when is this being released
Hopefully we find out friday!
suppressor so you can shoot quiet arrows.
😂😂😂
The knife is a kukri. I watch a lot of forged in fire
I was almost close 😂
While I do like the Masks he comes with, they should've given him more weapons, ones unique to his style since apparently he distaste guns. As he comes, he seems too similar to Storm Shadow.
Shittin bricks, lol
Can you remove the mask off the headsculpt.
The green and black skull is his face. It was damaged by Nanomites
after hearing “zartan reuse” several times i realized that zartan is the real shadow tracker. i just like the head and hair sculpts, and masks, but hes now a pass.
I wish they had alternate heads instead of the masks. Those masks will definitely be lost in my son's Joes toybox.
Kukri knife
im going to buy them all and re-sell them for big $$$
Bee's all dissing me. Uncool.
What?
You pulled my reply to the douchebag that telling me how Shadow Tracker is gonna kill me while I'm taking a shit.
*weight
it is very strange idea to put a mask over another mask.... smh... we should have got his true face instead, then incorporate the mask...
I guess the lore is that Nanomites ate his face off so it's just his skull/nanomotes that make up his face
@@beesbattlegrounds oh... i see. hmmm... lol oh well~
Waaaaaaay too pricy
Kukri
Sucks that it’s a Walmart Exclusive, really lazy that it’s a Zartan kitbash . They should’ve done a Basketball/ muscular etc etc. figure. I don’t know maybe homage the Predator height since it supposed to homage the Predator. Since this line is just becoming a lazy overpriced kitbash exclusive line , losing interest 😴

Yeah but no
No connection to this figure, will be a pass for me
Good for you.
why do the masks go on top of another mask? thats annoying
His green skull face, is his face. The nanomites ate his skin off
@@beesbattlegrounds that's awesome...thank you for the info! I knew there had to be a cool backstory
Kinda gross
