I love action figures, always have, and the only thing better than getting an awesome action figure is making an awesome action figure! Join me as I hunt, search and scramble up different parts and pieces to bring one of a kind creations to life, be it from our favorite stories and universes or even wholly unique characters. I'm talking Hasbro, Mezco, Mattel, McFarlane, you name it! All the toy tribes united under one golden tent.
Caught the replay and enjoyed the content. A very cool lead-in to the history of Classified GI Joe origins. Thank you. My introduction to Classified was unexpected after not collecting anything at retail for years. I had not known Hasbro had made any announcements, and I certainly wasnt looking for GI Joe (it was dormant) when walking back into a Target toy aisle just out of curiosity, when I had discovered the treasures before me: Classified wave 1. There they were... Snake Eyes, Scarlett, Roadblock, Duke... I was mystified and grabbed doubles of each! The Classified series is everything I have ever wanted GI Joe to become... Detailed, realistic, and tactical. Of course I raced home, Googled everything I could about the Classified line, grabbed the Snake Eyes 01 off of Ebay and consumed everything since!
What a show my brotha! I love hearing how classified came to existence. This is the second time I’ve heard Corey speak about it, it never gets old. This shit makes me feel so good inside. 🥰😎👏🏽👊🏽
This was such a major milestone for your channel to have another distinguished group of creatives and pioneers of the figures products over the many iterations and have them share so much of their experiences with the products and the people they worked with and currently work with in that same industry. Awesome interview KJ ~Namaste 🙏🏽
Sabir, thank you so much for the kind words! This is a really special conversation for me and I appreciate that you recognize just how special it is. Be well and have an excellent holiday weekend!
Thanks for posting this KJ!! To Cory and Fred and everyone else that ever contributed to Classified…thank you for creating my favorite adult toy line BY FAR!! 🤘😆🤘
SERPENTOR should not have been an exclusive. Exclusives should be reserved for odd repaints like Tiger Force and Python Patrol. Making mainline characters exclusives only infuriates and alienates fans. I really don’t understand why HASBRO keeps making mainline characters exclusives. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I could not agree more. I understand wanting to drive interest through scarcity, but what they have done with these exclusives is counter productive and just aggravates fans.
What a cool livestream! Sadly i didnt catch it live but the content is great! I just started collecting action figures this year again. Im 30 years old now and i played with action figures a lot when i was kid so collecting figures again hits me with that nostalgia and that general good feel. Since im from germany i never was really into GI JOE because the marketing for it just didnt work out here i guess, but when i started collecting and i saw all these new 6" figures that were being released, GI JOE classified caught my attention. I love the GI JOE snake eyes origin figure. The body sculpt is simple and its design is clean imo. Its funny that in the US you can get that snake eyes for like 5 bucks and here in germany he is still around 30 bucks. You've earned a new sub with your real attitude!
Caught the replay, what a great breakdown! How about these for future Classified Retro Cardbacks: Cobra Viper Major Bludd Breaker Barbecue Dr. Mindbender Serpentor Snow Job Tripwire Tele-Viper Chuckles That's where I hope Retro can go, to give collectors another chance to pick up a figure or two they missed or couldn't afford at the time.
From the moment I heard that a 6inch GI-Joe line was coming.... I was so excited! And then it happened.... Snake Eyes #00 was announced and available for pre-order! I wish I would have pre-ordered more than 1. The box design, along with the art print made the very first Classified figure something special. Wave 1 was shockingly odd. But I was still happy with them. However, it only got better from that point on!
As promised, just got done with this and as usual, good stuff always happen when you and Tony join forces. That new GS mounted weapons, maaaaaan talk about game changers. The only crap thing about watching the replay is missing out on the discount haha. Keep up the great work, KJ.
Great interview, big fan of Gridiron. I buy so much from those guys to improve and take all my Classifieds over the top. All the new pieces for the Vamp make it incredible and I received the 2 weapon cases today. I can't wait to see what they do for other vehicles if they will or the new Waves.
The Joe community really has been spoiled by the phenomenal work of Gridiron Studios. I look forward to putting more orders together and see what else they bring us. Great stream crew!
