40 years ago I thought every figure and vehicle were amazing!! 40 years later....I think every figure and vehicle are amazing!! The key is to continue looking at this line through the eyes of the 8 year old version of you.....
Great perspective! No matter what these figures are great, especially if you grew up playing with the o-ring figures… Let’s try to forget the first wave of figures and the Snake Eyes movie wave😅
...or the 24 year old version of me! I had no ideal that GI Joe was back (having had 12 inch Joes when I was 8) until I saw a commercial for the Night Raven on TV! I ran right to the nearest Target to grab one! Been collecting ever since! I can hardly wait for the Rattler!
@@Sight_on_Christ Exactly!! The 25th figure did come with one! Pr maybe we could get an extra head with it plus the 5 o'clock shadow instead of the beard.
I think that will definitely happen. I think they’ll definitely do another Ripcord and Crazy Legs since we got the Night Force versions with the Dragonfly.
Back in the 80s, there was a lot of mail away figure they should bring those figure out the ultimate soilder the Refrigerator Perry i would like to see them
I have the original Starduster from his mail away days. But the cereal box means nothing to me. I don't even remember seeing G.I. Joe cereal on shelves when I was a kid. He really needed the three figure carrying case that had the belt attachment. That's what came with my figure.
I have Stardust figure and I love what they did with the character, it totally represents the old military campaign in a fun way, instead of offering stocks he advertises a cereal brand.The sculpt and color scheme is perfect and I'm very happy that they add this nostalgic figure to the classified line.
I'm still waiting for the Arctic B.A.T. I made that pre-order back in June of 2023. In my best Master Shake voice, "What the heck, man? Are you just gonna wipe your butt with my pre-order or are you gonna make with the goods?"
@ViperIsland As of today, Entertainment Earth has given me an estimated arrival time of May 2025 for my figures. What the heck kind of operation are they running over there!?! (In my best Carl voice)
I’m still loving the line and trying my best to get everything…..it gets tough due to some many new figures and vehicles, kinda wish they would slow down just a little
That's wild isn't it? They just pump these out and by the time they reach shelves they got another line ready to take those toys place. I only seen that last wave of joes Doc and Jinx in Stores one time then it was replaced by this new wave. The new wave just started showing up in stores while this other wave is being released. It's crazy. I lost count of whats out there and what's coming. They release stuff too fast for sure.
@TheDidit yeaĥ now that you. Say its hard to get some figures God I really want frag viper and saw. Viper I'm a big viper guy but that's me ì rtract another. I. Wish. They. Would get more out and for Christmas coming. Up👍
I really don’t remember Starduster, I am looking forward to Golobulus and it would be pretty cool if they had the renegades in a three pack like they came out originally, it would be nice to see what they all look like but I’m looking most forward to Mercer.
Ever since I discovered the TF Wiki and Transformers the Basics I’m find myself more invested in the obscure characters and what not. Starduster, Quarrel and Glenda are right up my alley. Honestly prefer the Starduster use of that mold more than Retro Duke (Never had an issue with the original Classified Duke).
Love the content we get on this channel! Very excited to hear about the upcoming figures for 2025 and beyond. Really scratches the nostalgic itch for the toys I had as a kid. And they are 6 inches! Sooo much cooler! Really exciting times! Thanks for what you do!
Glad to hear theyll be more original 13 wave 1 figures coming. Although i appreciate all of G I JOE (collected em up to the BUGG and the Stealth fighter, then it got way too scifi and i was too old as well), the first 2 waves are my favs. I really look forward to Flash most of all, first one i got b/c he looked so cool. Plz Hasbro, plz consider along with his outfit/gear, make sure the visor looks right! Got Duke awhile back, and although hes got the right look, the visor is abit skinny (
I've really enjoyed some of the new characters, particularly Mole Rat and Wolf Spider, but Hasbro should not be letting the comic writers make new ones, at least without some serious vetting. Both those new ones are incredibly lame. The male one looks like he came out of some silly modern anime series and the female one does absolutely nothing to distinguish herself from several others that are bad themselves.
I like Starduster I never had the original one but I used the head for a custom Flint and after I changed my Falcon over to the new head I used the old Falcon on Starduster and now I think he’s one of my favorites but there’s my argument for getting a Starduster the head can be used for a Flint and I’ve seen some people use him for a Falcon replacement as well. Can’t wait for the OG-13 to come out those were my first ones when I was 8.
Star duster is ok cool colors, I think the biggest let down is raptor, his articulation is so stiff and low range of motion, wish he was made on a bigger buck as well
it looks like 2025 is going to give my wallet a break. i will purchase characters that are new to the classified line. but i will not bother with repaints, subteams of characters that have already been released, or retro line.
I cancelled my Starduster. If he had come with the J.U.M.P. platform I would have done it. Also the packaging should have been the cereal box. A mini cereal box replica you have to cut out of the packaging was totally lame. You can just print your own. Overpriced exclusive, not a good value on accessory pack-ins.
Just a matter of time. We did a quick deep-dive on Hit & Run last year - a lot of his parts & pieces now exist. And absolutely, he's a good fit for Night Force.
Great video as always! Kinda confused why you covered up the new breaker headsculpt, was it just a placeholder or something? It looked very accurate to the old Clutch/Rock N'Roll/Breaker head.
It wasn't new - it was a placeholder head. It's very likely Retro Breaker will have the same head sculpt as the first one, just like Stalker, Recondo, & most others.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Ace is the last of the 1983 Joes that hasn’t been in Classified yet? Should he come by himself as the Skystriker is way too big for the Classified series?
Law and Order hell ya! Where is BIG LOB? I need more cartoon Sunbow accuracy I will buy those too. We need a new Nemesis Enforcer! Pythona! The Slaughter House members!
also skipping on starduster. there is nothing special about him. i grew up collecting joes, but i never knew about him. and now that i do and see he is just a repaint of diff figs, i really dont see the sense on spending my money on it. i am already upset about the airborne repaint with the 60th ann para. is hasbro broke? they couldnt at east give him a new head?
Wasn't the original Starduster just made up of re-used parts? No one should be disappointed that the Classified version is the same thing. They definitely should be disappointed with the price, though.
“The mainline falcon head will never be used again!” Which is gonna upset a ton of Amazon customers! For some reason, that pile of garbage figure gets top reviews on that site!🤣
Chameleon isnt that new or rather she was parrt of the Devils Due comic line Gi Joe Cobra Special she is the Baronessè half sister. The character design is different though as the one from DD had Black hair like her sister and skybounds is blonde so maybe this is a different character witth the same codename..
Fake complaint here...and I know you have a day job. But it seemed like forever from your last video! Anyhow great job and always look forward to your drop.
Im not trying to date Falcon so his 1st head sculpt was just fine. But i will conceed the 2nd looks better. I thought roadpig is suppose to be some bad ass. But his face makes him look like a simpleton baby huey.
Most of these are passes for me. I remember being so hyped about the first two years of the line back in the 80s. Every figure was a must have. The package art was so cool and I looked forward to every Marvel comic release especially when I had to backtrack issues because I was a poor kid and had to rely on birthday or Christmas money to get anything. I saved up to get a Skystriker and my brother got the WHALE. I want all those guys in their classic uniforms that made those years memorable. They keep adding all these new characters and passing on a lot of the OG stuff.
I want "The Fridge". Guaranteed money maker!
I second that motion!
💯
40 years ago I thought every figure and vehicle were amazing!! 40 years later....I think every figure and vehicle are amazing!! The key is to continue looking at this line through the eyes of the 8 year old version of you.....
Love this outlook! 🙌
I’m actually enjoying the details the most. But yeah the 46 year old kid in me is enjoying this
Well said and I second that notion!
Great perspective! No matter what these figures are great, especially if you grew up playing with the o-ring figures… Let’s try to forget the first wave of figures and the Snake Eyes movie wave😅

I wish breaker would come with a bubble gum blowing head haha
@@Sight_on_Christ Exactly!! The 25th figure did come with one! Pr maybe we could get an extra head with it plus the 5 o'clock shadow instead of the beard.
Can I just say I find it appalling that Hasbro released Leatherneck in a wave without having Wetsuit in the same wave.
I'd really like a retro Mainframe, Sci-Fi and Lifeline.
We need Hit & Run, Light Foot, Budo and Muskrat.
Yes! Yes! & yes!
@evamkir That's a squad right there!
Hit & Run! Yes!
I do hope the next video bring us good news about FLASH.
I hope for flash every announcement
@woltersworld Same here, buddy!! He's been rumored since late 2023... 2025 is upon us, and no trace of him yet! 🥹
Am I the only Joe fan that would like to see the Oktober Guard or the Red Shadows in the Classified series?
I am really hoping to see both. Perhaps even some SAS and more Z-Force also.
Still waiting on Oktober Guard. Hard Master. Soft Master. Blind Master and Billy.
I feel you on that one. I wouldn't hold my breath on the Oktober Guard, though.
@jack812 Why? Licensing or today's political climate?
@@charliebronson1274 I wouldn't be shocked if it's a combination of both, tbh.
Maybe some mine like Daina, who is actually Czech.
@@coreybell2223 Good point, because not all of them were Russian. Col. Brekhov was Ukrainian, I think.
Now that the Dragonfly is out I want to see retro carded Ripcord
I think that will definitely happen. I think they’ll definitely do another Ripcord and Crazy Legs since we got the Night Force versions with the Dragonfly.
Wheres mainframe?????😢
Retro Flint… Thank you!
I wish Nemisis Immortal was not an exclusive. Hopefully we get more.
I got Starduster. I gotta get them all 😅😅😅
Amazing. I've been waiting for "L&O"... 🙌
I love Starduster. I had the mail in. I love the small cereal box in the insert. Road Pig is so great. His alternate look is so scary.
Starduster is amazing. I missed out on him when I was a kid so I am very excited to have him now.
That's the perfect way to enjoy your collection - making up for missing opportunities in the past.
Id like to see more Dreadnoks they are some of the best villains in any toy line
I personally love my Skyduster. I am hoping for Super Trooper
Bring the Fridge!!! He would sell!!!
Hope they have Green Shirt Hawk
With the MMS

Let’s hope Jin Bao will make an upscale of the gijoe/transfomers mash up! That could give us more vehicles for this line!!!!

That's insane you've had to wait this long.
I'm still waiting for mine too!

Same your excited but damn slow down guys unless I have gold bricks lol
No push them out faster and with higher quantity i hate all the sold out crap then having to go to eBay and get scalped.

If they’re making a Mad Marauders Falcon, then maybe Hasbro will integrate the Renegades into the Marauders too.
I hope the Legacy Line will include Joe, Jane, the Land Adventurer, Sea Adventurer and Air Adventurer.
One day = Hard Maater, Kwinn, Dr Venom, and Rock Viper. Also BOTH Gliders.
My poor wallet in 2025! I was expecting Golobulus news… You got me. Sci-Fi is taking forever.
Love the content we get on this channel! Very excited to hear about the upcoming figures for 2025 and beyond. Really scratches the nostalgic itch for the toys I had as a kid. And they are 6 inches! Sooo much cooler! Really exciting times! Thanks for what you do!
Is Walmart restocking Night Force Falcon and Quarrel? I do not see them in stock anywhere. I'm not getting hosed on ebay for the figures.
I still want to see Sherlock!
It’d be really cool to get 6” versions of the Pursuit of Cobra figures. That line had some of my favorite character designs and the concept was cool
I actually really lied Star Duster. I think as our G.I. Joe Airforce is growing, he becomes more interesting.
Glad to hear theyll be more original 13 wave 1 figures coming. Although i appreciate all of G I JOE (collected em up to the BUGG and the Stealth fighter, then it got way too scifi and i was too old as well), the first 2 waves are my favs. I really look forward to Flash most of all, first one i got b/c he looked so cool.

Big Lob, mainframe and sci fi please

Starduster doesn't seem to be that inspired. I don't get a sense of his character. But overall CLASSIFIED is amazing.
I cancelled my Starduster. If he had come with the J.U.M.P. platform I would have done it. Also the packaging should have been the cereal box. A mini cereal box replica you have to cut out of the packaging was totally lame. You can just print your own. Overpriced exclusive, not a good value on accessory pack-ins.
You’re gonna have to get over Starduster man. He happened, nothing you can do about it.
Still no Lifeline :/
Starduster is awesome. You have to have it in hand to appreciate it.
I'm waiting for headhunter and the oktober guard 😉
Same. Here brown head hunter or green or both
This is my favorite intro music - please keep it in regular rotation.
Any way to ask about introducing the G I Joe “Hit and Run” to classified and having him be Night Force, I think he’d be perfect to that sub team
Just a matter of time. We did a quick deep-dive on Hit & Run last year - a lot of his parts & pieces now exist. And absolutely, he's a good fit for Night Force.
Retro Flint hell yeah
Can we get the Oktober Guard and some of the odd characters like the Vindow Viper and the James Bond wannabe from the cartoon??
Great video as always! Kinda confused why you covered up the new breaker headsculpt, was it just a placeholder or something? It looked very accurate to the old Clutch/Rock N'Roll/Breaker head.
It wasn't new - it was a placeholder head. It's very likely Retro Breaker will have the same head sculpt as the first one, just like Stalker, Recondo, & most others.
@ViperIsland Ah got it. I didnt recognize it, thanks for the reply!
No Hit & Run rumors? I need him in the AWE striker
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Ace is the last of the 1983 Joes that hasn’t been in Classified yet?
Should he come by himself as the Skystriker is way too big for the Classified series?
Waiting on some Dawn Moreno news
Law and Order hell ya! Where is BIG LOB? I need more cartoon Sunbow accuracy I will buy those too. We need a new Nemesis Enforcer! Pythona! The Slaughter House members!
The figure in the back is from Arise Serpentor Arise. I forgot whose crypt they were in though.
NIce, next releases are sweet for 2025.
The gun Risk has on the picture is a lever action rifle more than likely a 30/30!!
I need G.I.JOE Rise of Cobra microfigures
What do you mean released through fan channels? What are those and how do I find and join them?
also skipping on starduster. there is nothing special about him. i grew up collecting joes, but i never knew about him. and now that i do and see he is just a repaint of diff figs, i really dont see the sense on spending my money on it. i am already upset about the airborne repaint with the 60th ann para. is hasbro broke? they couldnt at east give him a new head?
I want them to make Salvo and Backblast.
The new figure Risk is shown with a level action rifle and not a shotgun as mentioned in this episode.
Curious about Steeler? If they would ever make him?
I appreciate your work
On Starduster, the line that got me back in the day. No collection is complete without him. 😊 man that line got me good.👍
Good call.
Wasn't the original Starduster just made up of re-used parts? No one should be disappointed that the Classified version is the same thing. They definitely should be disappointed with the price, though.
I like StarDuster but there was another mail away figure that you could name yourself he came with a gold or chrome armor & helmet.
Does anyone know will classified prices increase due the tariffs changing?
I'm excited for all but we need a v3 Snake eyes. He will look so bad ass losed with v2 stormy.
I’m totally happy with my starduster. But I feel the same way about darklon and the marauders I have no interest in them
That sounds about right. Most would likely agree with you.
Gracias por el video
“The mainline falcon head will never be used again!” Which is gonna upset a ton of Amazon customers! For some reason, that pile of garbage figure gets top reviews on that site!🤣
What do you mean by "available on fan channels"?
Fan channel normally means the toy websites like Entertainment Earth and Big Bad toys.
Aye thank you for the news about slice n dice
Why on Earth would they make a Joe figure in a shirt and tie?!? Marvel has plenty of those and they sold terribly.
Just keep rollin out new versions of the Cobra Bats & Vipers!!
Chameleon isnt that new or rather she was parrt of the Devils Due comic line Gi Joe Cobra Special she is the Baronessè half sister. The character design is different though as the one from DD had Black hair like her sister and skybounds is blonde so maybe this is a different character witth the same codename..
I want cross country..or Mercer
Fake complaint here...and I know you have a day job. But it seemed like forever from your last video! Anyhow great job and always look forward to your drop.
Wild Weasel!
Star duster was one of the easiest figures to pass on. Zero connection and overpriced reused rubbish. Expect loads to turn up in sales.
Its a terracotta warrior!
Aye does anybody thinC they’ll redo the classic uss flagg they’re doing other classics
Im not trying to date Falcon so his 1st head sculpt was just fine. But i will conceed the 2nd looks better. I thought roadpig is suppose to be some bad ass. But his face makes him look like a simpleton baby huey.
No more Ninjas until RETRO RED NINJA! I need classic looking Ninja army builders and the RETRO RED NINJA would be amazing.
Starduster is boring. Hasbro should at least copy from Lt. Hawk Masterson from Captain Power for an update.
FLASH!!!
Bushido
Most of these are passes for me. I remember being so hyped about the first two years of the line back in the 80s. Every figure was a must have.

Seeing the three upcoming Mad Marauders figures made.
my day 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Meh. Underwhelming. Too many Gen Xers on GI Joe team that only care about GI Joe 82-85.
