GI Joe #1 Offers New Looks for G.I. Joe Classified Series Figures? 

I was reading the new Transformers. It’s fun. But I’m really digging Void Rivals. Especially now that Springer has shown up.

Awesome brother!

I would love to see a new animated series come out of this.

Cobra Commander #4 was a banger!!!! I would definitely love to see a mix of comic influence for the Classified Series. Yo Joe!

Glad to see they're going to incorporate new charactersin the main storyline

I'm diggin' what you're theorizing here Jeff. That would be a lot of fun to have a modern comic driving the GI Joe Classified series line. GI Joe has always felt like "Super Hero" soldiers to me so having these comics tie in with the toys would be really cool.

I would love to get a better head sculpt for Stalker! Current one makes him look too old.

Yes they need to include these in Classified. Yes Original Line died in year 5 even though a few of the characters where great but hope Hasbro doesnt do to many 89 up at one time. Best option is 1 per wave mixed with updated outfits and incorporate figures like Agent Mouse, Para-viper a ton of FSS Designs, Pursuit of Cobra, CObra Extreme Condition Sets to keep line fresh

Transformers had me with Daniel Warren Johnson on art and writing. Its going to be adjustment for Vol 2's art. I could really go for any of these gersuons. Ill by anything Cobra Commander or BAT related it seems so id be down for those as new figures.

that cobra commander was also a custom someone made out of a starlord 3.75 marvel universe fig.

I would buy all these comic versions in the classified series.

The blonde woman in red & black on the COBRA side is more than likely "Chameleon" who temporarily replaced the Baroness in the figure line when Hasbro momentarily lost the rights to the "Baroness" name. We all know they would get the name back, but Chameleon continue to develop into her own character since. Looks like they have flipped allegiances for her and Baroness in the EU, as Chameleon became a Joe / good guy in the long run in after her introduction. This new iteration of Chameleon will appear in Destro #3, and you can see more of what she looks like on the covers of that issue. What Skybound is doing is interesting and I've enjoyed all the comics so far. The brother with the shotgun looks Native American and might be my favorite design out of all the Joes; could he be a redesign of Spirit? If so, he looks incredible. Might be my favorite character redesign since Terry Bogard in "Garou: Mark of the Wolves".

Ok, you got me. Just ordered it all. 😂

1:35 holllll up, Megz with a ripped off arm & Optimus is *_wearing it!?!?!!??_* 😳😃

I'm really looking forward to this first issue! I could see myself being tempted by Classified figures based off the new comic designs. Specifically, Tomax & Xamot, Mercer and Cover Girl. Most of all, though, I'd like to see a figure of Duke based off his shaggy, bearded look from his mini-series. 😂

I would definitely go for this as a classified line of figures especially if we get transformers as all the vehicles

I like Xamot and Tomax with the upated looks. I was hoping that these are done for Classified. I'm just not sure, based on them being on clearance. And I used the gray extra Viper from the 3 pack for Mercer.

I think the most likely ones to be drawn from the comics are the female figures, since they tend to want to have good female representation in the line. Although I think Dawn Moreno from ARAH is more likely than any of the females on that cover, b/c never can have too many Snake Eyes figs in Hasbro's eyes. Although you're right, I'd bet that's Mercer and he's a logical choice. The other one from here is Destro, since he hasn't been represented much. Although I'd bet we get IG Destro w/ Despoiler now that they're going heavy on the IGs. We're never going to see another non-exclusive Tomax and Xamot after they've been retail death both times. :)

I love all things Gijoe, especially this new take and lore. A else worlds per se. Its awesome. I could care less about DEI crap. Doesnt bother or will it ruin my love for Gijoe. People are so sensitive to everything, talkingabout being woke. Whatever. Im not going to lose any sleep over it. Sure people are entitled to their opinion but its not going to discourage me from my passion and love for Gijoe. Classified figures are the best figure line ever in my opinion. So is this new story arc from skybound. It couldnt be any better. Love the videos Jeffrey keep up the great work my friend. YO JOE!!

I’m happy folks are enjoying the new comics but gijoe comics for me start and end in the 155 marvel comic run. That’s cannon it’s the “real” GIJOE continuity.

they used my Duke custom with the grunt vest lol

I see Mercer

I don't read Transformers comics, but I do appreciate the information. I will probably pick up those graphic novels.

Interested to see how the new designs work as upcoming Classified figures. Also great video! You're making me want to pick up the new comics.

I have GI Joe figures. I want Void Rivals!

Who is the blonde cobra with the black and red uniform?

Black suit Joe has what I'd call a lever action repeater rifle. Not a shotgun.. and I want him in classified. Also give us the void rivals figures in classified style

I think the guy with the shotgun may be Flint. The belt,gun, and cocky look make me think that. I’m sure I’m wrong and it is a new character. That said, I am pretty sure Flint has already appeared.

honestly id rather get a new lien of the 1/18 figures with these designs

Something that really bugs me about how they draw/pose these military characters is how the characters handle their weapons. You point the gun at the ground if you're not shooting. You don't point it up. If it misfires, the bullet fires off into the air, it has to come down. It very well may hit someone when it does. You point the barrel at the ground, the idea being the bullet goes into the ground/floor if there's a misfire.

Is Void Rivals Volume 2 necessary?

I can see a few figures from the Energon comics being pulse con exclusives. But by that time it will the be the end of the Classified line. Gi Joe Real American Hero 3.75 figure line peaked at 1988. Then fell off a cliff by 1990. Classified line is 4 years in. So I feel ot has only 4 to 5 yrs of being a top line.Where Hasbro can release good recognizable character figures There is still a lot Joe and Cobra character figuees they have not made figures if yet.

how many variant covers does this one have? I'm guessing like 32

I’ve never been a fan of Tomax and Xamot. I guess I never liked their look and I especially disliked their portrayal in the cartoon. But I have to say, in looking at the cover to #1, I would buy figures based on this new design. And I even like this new iteration of the characters from the Destro mini.

New guy is prolly Latino with how to type Joe usually goes and him being Western themed. South Asian would be dope for that theme but I don't think they're gonna go off brand with the "making stereotypes empowering" thing Joe has done since the 80s.

To be honest, it's kinda weird that they made the baroness a joe. They might have her betray Duke and maybe also his heart. Then again, who knows.

Bring a netflix animated series. Just like they did with transformers a few years back

Not feeling these new looks at all. Every time they try to reinvent the wheel w/ the various looks of the Joes and Cobras, it comes off looking very late 90's/early aughts style, which was not the best time for comic character designs, unless you're Rob Liefeld. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

man i'm ok with updates usually but some of this looks awful. destro, cobra commander, and even baroness (i think?) are the ones i really don't like.. duke is okayish. the cobra sniper is ok. tomax an xamot are okay. so really just a mixed bag for me.
