Agreed,that was intuitive(for a lack of a better word)of him..because sometimes I watch the reviews and wonder about swapping heads or the compatibility thereof..
I’m 85% sure that one of the nine retro carded figures for this year will be Roadblock and he’ll have his green color Ma Deuce and a backpack so he can hold the tripod. I also think it will have more saturated colors and fists. Both Tiger Force and the other Rockblock figures were exclusives. Retro card is mainline. This is an intriguing figure. I’m not sure why they didn’t do the M-16 instead of the double barrel gun Big Ben came with. That gun may be real but it seems an exaggerated piece to give to a soldier. Maybe the two guns are on the same part of the mold. It is interesting to count the amount of reuse: Stalker, Rock n Roll, Big Ben, and the vest Doc uses. 5 Classified figures to make one with new stuff. I guess six as Tiger Force Roadblock has the big gun too. Oh yeah Outback’s pack… 7 characters in one. Interesting. I actually like the creative reuse. The new pieces also spice it up. I’m not intending to army build this figure but I will get one.
Solid guesses with the Retro line. I bet your right. The fans have been vocal and it allows the Joe Team to satisfy the ARAH die hards and still make some updated Classified versions.
How awesome would that be? I was really hoping they would have fun with the anniversary and release a flocked beard. I didn't think to do a breakdance pose with a modern soldier. Next time!
Great review! I'm not interested in generic troops for my G.I.Joe team, but I did pre-order this guy to get his accessories for other figures. I think ultimately I'll display him on his back as if wounded, being treated by Doc on my shelf. Oh, and the SAW originally came with Night Force Big Ben.
Great review. Im pretty sure that’s Grunt’s lid. And why the hell is the scarf hard plastic?? They did the same thing with the diver; stuff that should be rubber was rigid and vice versa.
Wished they would start making them vests easily removable. And you are right. That action force swiffer is atrocious. I noticed you chucked that alternate head in the bin, never to be seen again. ;) Great review as always.
Rock n roll has a 240B medium machine gun, and this infantry has a 249 light machine gun and M2 heavy machine gun. Also, any AR type is an assault rifle. ironically, AR doesn't mean assault rifle. lol
There's nothing like a correctly titled video LOL. Dusty also has Stalker's legs. The light and medium weapon are from Big Ben. Great review of the reuse. I was vacillating, but he's too cool not to get. I'm NOT going to army build.
It has multiple meanings and also none at all. Government Issue, General Issue, Garrison Issue and General Infantry, but can also just be G.l. As a general term for infantry in the armed forces.
Thanks for throwing Stalker in the mix. Love seeing head swaps
Awesome, me too. He's such a great figure and his buck is great for customizing.

I love the dog tags on the Diver and this one…such a great detail!
It's those little details that make this for me
Great job as normal,big homie…I love the content..keep knocking them out,very dope!!!
Hey thanks so much for that. I'm trying to balance the time better. Fingers crossed
Great review man
My mutt and junkyard the pieces were vacuum sealed so tight I had to cut some of them out with a razor knife
Awesome figure. Thank you for making this.
I’m glad you liked it. He’s a very fun modern soldier. I can’t wait to see what they do for the pilot and marine
Great review. He looks awesome.
I think so too!
Great to have you back, Baldy. TY for all you do for the community. :)
Thank you so much for sticking around. I appreciate you!

Thank you for the review. Great to see you back at it, sharing the joy of Joe!
Thanks for that and thanks for sharing the hobby with me! I hope to add more frequently
Great review! Hopefully a third party releases updated vintage heads with flocked hair. And where the break dance pose?
How awesome would that be? I was really hoping they would have fun with the anniversary and release a flocked beard. I didn't think to do a breakdance pose with a modern soldier. Next time!
I like this more than I thought I would. Getting at least 1.
Oh its a great kit they put together for us
Welcome back! Nice review! Looking forward to the next one 👍
Thanks so much for being patient and coming back to watch. Hope to knock out more soon
If you bought four or more, you could make a matching squad of rock-n-roll, grunt, Stalker and the actual action soldier.
Yup, great call. I used to do 6-8 but with all the characters coming I'm dropping army builds to 2-4
thanks for the review bud!
thank you for sticking around and watching. I appreciate it
It’s about time! Welcome back sir!!!
Thanks and thanks for sticking around
Got one on the way .. great review👍
Enjoy it
Great review! I'm not interested in generic troops for my G.I.Joe team, but I did pre-order this guy to get his accessories for other figures. I think ultimately I'll display him on his back as if wounded, being treated by Doc on my shelf.
Oh, and the SAW originally came with Night Force Big Ben.
I like that idea. He's worth it for the extras. And I never opened my Big Ben figure haha
Solid figure lot of kit can't wait to get mine .
Your'e gonna love it dude. lots of fun and great for kit bashing
This is the light machine gun that came with Big Ben.
Yup, I never opened my Big Ben thats why I didn't recognize it
Great reveiw. The machine gun came with Big Ben.
Thanks, would probably help if I had opened Big Ben haha
Surprisingly the machine guns on the back of the vamp and the one he comes with are different in design
Can't wait!!
It's a fun one for sure
Curious if this can be used to make a 1993 Duke
A first-rate review of this super cool set!
Thanks. Did you grab one?
@@BaldyLockzYes, I preordered mine from Amazon.
Great review! Where do you get these blue cases from?
Pencil boxes, he has put up links to them on Amazon before
I actually have the links in this vid. I really like them

Great review. Im pretty sure that’s Grunt’s lid. And why the hell is the scarf hard plastic?? They did the same thing with the diver; stuff that should be rubber was rigid and vice versa.
Dude you're right. It is Grunts helmet. Great eye
Yeah man I got three on the way may get one more to create a squad Joe’s need more builders only thing missing is a head with frohair head
This is a solid army builder too
where ya been
I'll just say...family is always first for me. Thanks for asking and sticking around
Finally, a new video!!! 😂
Bwahahaha!! Thanks @tonys_figs
Really want to see the Action Marine before I get this. Although the Ma Deuce alone for my heavy artillery roadblock screams for this figure.
Thats one of the things that sold me on it. I can't wait to see what they do with the Marine figure
🔥🔥🔥
Wished they would start making them vests easily removable. And you are right. That action force swiffer is atrocious. I noticed you chucked that alternate head in the bin, never to be seen again. ;) Great review as always.
I like the Action Force stuff I have but the swiffer? Not so much haha
@@BaldyLockz Oh, I like them as well. I have 6 I think. :)
Rock n roll has a 240B medium machine gun, and this infantry has a 249 light machine gun and M2 heavy machine gun. Also, any AR type is an assault rifle. ironically, AR doesn't mean assault rifle. lol
All we need now is a few vehicles and an accessories pack. A Lotta of the guns l've gotten weren't very straight.
We would all love some accessories packs like we used to get
The most Delco sounding Delco dude in all of Delco.
Montco here 🙌
I'll take that as a compliment haha Are you a WMMR fan? Thats 10 pts for Delco!
There's nothing like a correctly titled video LOL.
Dusty also has Stalker's legs. The light and medium weapon are from Big Ben. Great review of the reuse. I was vacillating, but he's too cool not to get. I'm NOT going to army build.
I knew someone would like that title. Yup, its Big Bens. I think for customizing I'll just stick to the 2 I have...maybe one more...or 2 more haha
I think alot of the guns are from Big Ben
You're exactly right. I never opened my Big Ben. I'm gonna fix that mistake now haha
I believe rock and roll had a Vietnam era M60 machine gun
I believe you are right. Good eye
Probably get at least 2 of these to start. Maybe more….
I think I'm sticking with 2...or 6 haha
I thought gi meant general infantry?
It has multiple meanings and also none at all. Government Issue, General Issue, Garrison Issue and General Infantry, but can also just be G.l. As a general term for infantry in the armed forces.
Me too but I believe it was Government Issue
All of the above
I think other than the M2 machine gun, the Soldier comes with Big Ben's weapons.
thats my issue, I never opened my Big Ben haha
@@BaldyLockz 🤣🤣
What case is that that you use?
Hey, I actually have the links in this vid. I really like them
ua-cam.com/video/H0KhPEXs3TM/v-deo.htmlsi=ShoQsvSe0mq331oN
@@BaldyLockz Ty!
I don't think thats a scarf. I think it is a "down" version of the poncho hood.
And I think you’re right. I misspoke. Especially since most of the ninjas have a similar “hood down” accessory
I find it weird he doesn't have a knife. All that gear and no knife. Almost every Joe here lately has come with a knife of some kind but not him.
So with all the re use hasbro is a bigg kit bash company now lol cool fig
Ha, kit bashing Joes since 1964
Those plastic trays are very snug
So it's not just me right? Haha
