Deep Dive Discussion of Cobra Classified Figures 

Yes on the suited Tomax and Xamot! Looking forward to the ReAction O-rings of them later this year. Would happily pick them up in the classified range as well.

I love that Sunbow-colored Retro Zartan! Very proud of him in my Cobra collection

❤ this video. Towards the end I was thinking I wish I could see the sub teams together. Then you did that too! Really appreciate your efforts.

This was a great vid! Thanks ✌️

Great video! I really enjoy the logic you used to group them. 🙌 Keep up the good work.

This video is awesome. I love these linewide breakdowns, especially for my favourite toyline right now. Really shows how far Classified has come.

I also started collecting the Classified line from the very beginning #00. And I would have never guessed that the line would be this far within 4.5 years. I love it!

You are correct about Dr Mindbender he had a black cape and big silver cobra logo in the middle of it. Loved the old school figure, still trying to convince myself to buy the classified one.

Great breakdown

Awesome line up. I have most of these, except for the HISS which I failed to get :(. And the two other Classified Cobra Commanders. I am like you in that I mildly army build. Minimum 2 or 3 with a leader/officer. One thing that gets overlooked, is that Storm Shadow (classic version) and the original Cobra Officer both have an extra set of articulation over all other classified figures to date. They both have forearm swivel. At some point they must have felt like it was too much cost and cut that feature out. :( Then one other odditiy. If ever I could ask Lenny a question, I would ask WHY.....oh WHY....with the legion of tooled parts and their penchant for reuse.....have they NEVER reused the Cobra Officer torso. Why? Even when they re-painted Python Patrol or 788 Fire team or even the Stinger driver.....the original Officer torso is absent. It has the rank on it -____-. I wonder if it was lost or damaged somehow.

I am pretty sure that the Snow Serpent is wearing a backup chute. As an Eel, I think they went to para-trooper training.

Btw I do enjoy your videos! The presentation style and the effort. Liked and subscribed.

I hope Hasbro repaints the Crimson Baroness to give us a proper Classic look for her. I also wouldn’t mind a blue version, or G1 Chameleon for that matter

Good overview. Classified got me back into Joe for the first time since I was a teen and gave my collection to my cousin. My method is to get one of every character, but not every figure (e.g. one Baroness, one Copperhead) though I have made some exceptions (e.g. regular and PD Destro which I switch out periodically) and have done a bit of Army building (Vipers and CGs that surround CoCo).

They didn't use the Crimson Baroness arms on the Retro one because the Retro one came out first, and so those arms didn't exist yet. The Crimson Baroness head won't work on any of the other figures because the peg hole is much smaller, unfortunately.

I've been wanting the red and blue ninjas, and they're on Amazon.. I just don't care enough to pull the trigger 😂

Your review of these figures are very nice. Thank you. I use lady figures for drivers in the Trouble Bubble and Hiss because so many of the guy figures are bulky and I don't want to stress the seat belts. Have a great day.

The python officer 2 is based off the original python officer. The first python officer they came out with the green shirt was the mislabeled one and is what the original python trooper looked like. I guess they labeled the second one as the officer to try and right the ship.

I agree with you on the dreadnok issue. Thats probably about as close to the original as you can get

Great deep dive with good thoughts and opinions (knowing is Half the battle). But not a fan of the Dreadnoks?!?, Noks 4 Life!, Cold Slither you'll be joining us soon!, a biker gang addicted to grape soda and chocolate donuts!, the controversy of Zartans original file card! (He was described as a multiple personality paranoid scitsophrenic). THE NOKS RULE!😂. Some of my favorite Joe characters. Yo Freaking Joe!

The Mole Rat has Roadblock and Gung Ho legs. The left knee is the giveaway

Shadow Tracker was a big phat dissapointment!! They should hv scaled up the 3.75in scale figure...from POC

The boxing gloves are going to be reused for the new Sgt Slaughter coming out.

I have a couple of these figures, I like them .my favorite it the artic b.a.t so cool

The new M.M. Sgt Slaughter is going to reuse Big Boa's boxing gloves, so they're getting some milage out of Boa's molds.

The water moccasin will probably come with a pythonized lampreys.

Dr. Mindbenders cape was purple and there was no Cobra symbol on it. Unless it was really early or late.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned but you should be able to hand wash most of the dye that’s transferring to the plastic out of the cape.

I hate that they made the glasses removable on so many of the Dreadnoks.

Pimp Daddy Destro is a good repaint.

their re-using the boxing gloves for Sgt. Slaughter

You’re the ultimate completest

The crimson baroness head does not fit on the baroness’. I had to take a neck from the Cobra Valkyrie. Also had to paint it

NOTE: Range Viper was a Wal-Mart exclusive, which is worse than Target exclusives because Wal-Mart doesn’t even stock GI Joe Classified in stores, and they have very low stock online. Range Vipers sold out online very fast, and have basically been $50+ for some time now. Shame for another troop builder to go the way of the Cobra Island Trooper years later. Didn’t they learn their lesson?

Vypra is not an exact repaint she has different feet and arms. No the good guy ninja force “arctic” storm shadow has no cobra logos on him. And never should have had a cobra sigil in his packaging.

I DO NOT HAVE ANNY RANGE VIPERS YET

I don’t have any Arctic Bats yet

I US TO BELIEAVE HE WAS A TROOP BUILDER

hi

your Amazon storm shadow legs are on wrong.

I recognize your voice. Articulated?

CYLONS not cyclones 😅😅😅 Breast plate armor or chest plate armor

I don’t like the Crimson Baroness her head looks too big. That’s why I didn’t buy her.

It’s Cylons, and not what you said💁🏻‍♂.

The serpentor head is not a fail. They gave an alternate head just to address that matter. That is beyond nitpicking.
