GI Joe Retro Stalker Review 

I agree with you, the retro figures should mirror the original carded releases. I do like the idea of making Sunbow releases.

Honest review as always, loving these retro figures. Maybe a weapons pack made by classified with jetpacks to be purchased might make more people happy.

looks like my husband when he was in Sierra Leone😊

The camo on the beret is based on the card art of his original figure. I’ll use the plain beret but I appreciate the nod to OG card. It doesn’t come from nowhere

Stalker was my first RAH Joe. Had the OG one with no Swivel Arm. Loved that Figure. Oozed 80s! I picked up the v1 Classified fig on heavy clearance, if this one is at Ollie's I may grab it as well.

Highest listed rank I saw for Stalker, was Sargent Major (E-9) in the last line of comics. Idk, but it sounds about right for his looks 😂

I just wish he didn’t look so much older but I get not wanting to resculpting. A cartoon line would be awesome if Hasbro did it and not Super7

Always enjoy your reviews. At this point it getting very clear that retro line is not a complete 1 for 1 with the original 80s figure. Most have been a mash up of what molds are available, original figures, and the cartoon. Actually I like that Stalker is older and more mature. As most ranks aren’t in the figures name I don’t consider Stalker as just an E-5 Sgt anymore. For me he is one of the senior NCOs. Not all Joes should be looking 25ish

Another great video dude! As far as Stalker being old, I fully support it. Stalker was first and foremost a Frontline soldier, and he's happiest being with the troops. I've met soldiers like him in real life, and they have a wealth of knowledge and never quit! ARAH all the way! Where can I get COBRA out houses? Do you sell them?

I love grizzled Stalker, but it's kind of funny to think both Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes are around the same age under their masks.

Get-off-my-lawn Stalker is kinda cool. Didn't purchase v1, so I can't wait for my order to arrive. I might to get a v1 eventually for its hat. Was cool that you showed it on v2. Thanks! My wallet hates you. 😊

I really like the new(old) brighter colors. This Stalker will look good with the classic classified shelf and the 1st version will go with the Skybound shelf with Rock N Roll.

Why would they make a Retro Card version of a figure that is READILY AVAILABLE and give him the same exact accessories, but without paint apps (minus the beret)? Retro card figures, IMO, should come with "Yo Joe" fist or fists, laser rifle, jump pack, etc. Those accessories have all been tooled, it sets the figure apart from the main line release, and more would people would be inclined to spend the full retail price at least once vs grabbing a heavily discounted Stalker that can be in their hand in less than 3 days. It was a lazy move, even from an army builder buck use standpoint. He looks cool, but the lack of imagination on his accessories is disappointing. Yo Joe!!

You bent the peg on the suppressor

I wanted a new younger headsculpt with a lighter skin tone. The other retro figures Duke Scarlett Snake Eyes Gung Ho all got new headsculpts.

Why is Stalker gently caressing Cobra Commander's cheek in the thumbnail?

Molded weapons or accessories on figures are bad. I like them to be used if that make sense. Don’t look to bad at all.a better arm/ shoulder joints are needed to give them a dramatic pose. And Retro should mirror their original design.

If the body is entirely just a recolor, does it still fit the Steel Brigade/Battalion head that came with Grunt? Also the beret that came with Falcon or Flint would probably be the better color green for this fig.

Oh man you disagreed with Bobby Bee.

The old figure does look French. 😂 Like your review and your opinions. 👍

I’m also sick of the fifty different languages and all the other copyright crap they put on these cards

It's a flash hider on his smg, not a supressor

Nothing wrong with Fruit Stripe Stalker.
