I love this figure. My copy arrives in 5 days. My dad was a Force Recon Marine who had 4 combat tours in Vietnam ('65,'66,'68,'69,) and one advisory tour in '64. He spent '67 as an instructor at the Jungle Warfare Training Center in Okinawa. So, growing up in the '80s, when my dad and I played with my GI Joe RAH toys, he was teaching me all about small unit combat tactics. He died in '87, but man, oh man, he would have loved the hell out of this figure. I'm planning a bookshelf diorama of Stalker, Tiger Force Outback, Spirit & Freedom, Alpha Commando Snake Eyes & Timber, Old Man Hawkeye (Marvel Legends), Classified Origins Scarlett, and Kill Switch (Valaverse Action Force.) Mixing it up against a slew of Cobra ninjas, Firefly, Storm Shadow, and Zartan with Guenhwyvar (Drizzt's huge black panther from the Hasbro set.) This is gonna be a 60" wide 12" deep, 14" high forest diorama just underneath my TV in my Audio Video Monolith. Replacing what had been 2 6" tall shelves of BluRay cases. Also, it was kinda awesome to see the likes at 999, and be the one to kick it over to 1k.
I would expect that regret to last up until the point you see the pegs in the stores are empty, pre-orders are sold out within seconds and the only people that seem to find the figures are content creators. As stated in this video he gives a shout out to another content creator. I don’t mean this in a negative way just stating facts.
@@spoodurmin9742 Yep, Cobra Commander and Lady Jaye…plus all the crappy movie figures. But let’s be honest, who wants those. Fact is Hasbro has done a terrible job with distributing figures and getting them in the hands of collectors. I will say they have done a great job with the designs after Wave 1.
@@Taikuken these figures articulate better than any other domestic retail line, be salty you don’t have them but nothing mediocre about the figures themselves
I enjoy the stills at the end of these videos. It's a great way to show off the potential than an action figure can possess. And you definitely killed it but Stalker, here.
Daaaamn, those pics are hot at the end of the review. Such cool action shots D. Stalker & Flint are my favorite Joe’s & you had em posed out! I can see Lonzo taking out a Predator, surviving mean street gangland Detroit & becoming a seasoned war veteran, he would win the day. Another review I enjoyed.
The 1st rifle in the pack is an M-32 "Pulverizer" like the old figure back in the RAH line. The big machine gun looks like an upgraded FN type machine gun (I don't remember the name, although I'm usually good with weapon classifications and identifications).
Great review D. I've been loving the Classified stuff and thanks for turning me on to the Larry Hama comics. I've started from the beginning on those and it's been a lot of fun.
Stalker's always been one of my favorite G.I. Joe characters. The guy just doesn't get enough of the spotlight, but this figure will be a cornerstone of my collection.
Great reviews, you have a radio voice man. Meaning you sound like an advertiser reviewing the characters, that’s not a criticism just that you have that radio voice as they used to say lol😂good stuff brother
i've been dreaming of a classic green camo, dad-looking Stalker, but i'm surprised they aged him up so much. he looks a good 15 years older than he does in my head.
I got a feeling that if you combined Flint and Stalker, you’d get a pretty good kitbash for a Sgt. Johnson figure and MasterChief being taller works well for this scale because he’s supposed to be 7 feet tall.
Great review as always my guy, this guy is incredible, he'll go great alongside my other Gi Joe figure, and if/when I get him, I'll make him fight my City Hunter
Riley and Stalker in one vid? Absolutely amazing! Just let Riley know we love him even though he can be needy! Also Stalker looks amazing, cannot wait to snag him!
the promo images do the figure a disservice. It made the figures green camo too dark But this review has shown that it is very close to the original color. so glad I have him on order.
The GI Joe classified Stalker is looking good with his new camouflage uniform.. although I like his older uniform this one is Not bad at all .. like the new great colors on it ..good choice 👍.
With this guy going on sale at Ollie's for like five bucks I'm definitely going to pick one or two up to make a custom Sergeant Johnson. Thank you for the review
Wow, you lucky b@stard. You’ve got both Stalker and Outback. They are the two I’m most looking forward to getting. Anyone else getting a Keith David vibe from that head sculpt?
Forgot to get my preorder in on him. Looks as awesome as expected though. Got the twins and said would wait on Stalker. Need to add if can. Highly agree on checking out the marvel comics of GI Joe. Great reads indeed.
good review bro it s worth it to roll back a few mins - months to see your scenes - poses I ve seen Stalker s reviews before this one, but yours are always excellence Stalker ok, I got him now, and... he looks much older some might say more realistic now I m thinking... will retro card be younger, and more attractive as Duke? mmmmmm Gung ho is waaay better too, I have the 'poor' man s classified version he s like Stalker, ok his file says he was a gang member, a 'quick' man, street smart before Doc, I used him as the medic, he s qualified this is why I like fewer members, you get to know your agents, and what they really can do the comics from 1 to 10 is my style for Joes, A - team - mission impossible military elite team after that comes Kwin & Dr Venom stupid liberties which we did not ask for it became like a soap with Snake and switching agents before you can get to know them, forget all about those who were not on shelves except Snake and Cobra Commander ....it was crap, and the cartoons were mostly for kids with lasers.... you were better on your own and pick some ideas basing your concept on Joe s releases and file cards to get ahead on story - script even then, Stormy turning, or Serpentor, Cobra la, Overlord were just confusing hey, I paid, and Serpy is CC s pet project and gives him good pr that s it! the others? nothing but a bad dream bro, a bad dream Hasbro left the best part out, Pythona, she was inspiring ah man, I d really like loose backpacks sold in pairs, I d make him fly like the cartoons, that, I liked! btw, I never took him out of his box yet I pretty much only had class Duke and Scarlett then, that explains it now I have also Hawk and Snakes, Rock and Gung ho, it ll be worth it to open that treasure, mmmm the comparisons ahhh, with Snake, like the ol days! mm, next to Gung ho, I love the size dif, looks so legit now. aahhh, I want loose ram cycles! I love the contrast with Spidey and the troop man, I can t wait to put him next to... Hulk! ha, ha! if only I had General thunderbolt Ross... can t catch em all kids... ah, master chief? so good bro, so good! wow ah the scenes man, the scenes! Stalker taking on the Predator takes the cake and eats it earning $200 when passing the parking bro man, I swear, if I get my money, I ll contact you to laminate some pics in my house psa Hawk ; never pass on a good thing kids! even if it s years ago!!! good show bro
he looks old............which is great! gives the line some subtle history. formulaic as it is.....i was hoping that in Retaliation, the Joes would have to call upon older members, led by Stalker, to help them with their mission. but, no. we got one-note Willis and a bunch of unnamed, almost faceless, extras.
Totally unrelated, but have you gotten your hands on the Amazing Yamaguchi New52 Superman yet? He is amazing! Totally pumped he came with a wired cloth cape.
My mind is absolutely blown away by this Superman bro! I just figured a way to tuck the cloth cape into the neck/upper chest port and now this thing is freaking AMAZING!!! Hes like actual 3D art bro.
Yeah man its Stalker a must buy forreal but I still prefer the 1/6th sideshow version as a younger man so unfortunately this head will be switched out.
💀👑: Be good boy Riley.🙃 & also I'd just use this figure as a hero in general fighting some Predators. & Xenomorphs too.👀 Edit: Literally after I said that, & wasn't done watching yet, there's a Predator in one of his shots fighting him. 😂😂
It looks like a simplified cross between the M249 and the XM250, mainly because they left off the suppressor that comes with the XM. Either way, he's carrying a heavy load!

My man still encouraging people to read the source material. Bless. :)
Stalker looks like my husband when he was in the military
What if it is?
I have him on pre-order. Really looking forward to him now after your review. Keep up the great work!
Every time I see these I feel a little regret for not collecting them.

@@Go_Slinky_Go So true. I dont even collect GI Joe and don’t intend to but i always see the same figures warming the pegs, never new figs.

You shouldn’t feel regret, there aren’t any defining qualities with this series. Just a G.I. Joe branding with overpricing on Mediocre figures.
@@Taikuken these figures articulate better than any other domestic retail line, be salty you don’t have them but nothing mediocre about the figures themselves
In my opinion, this is one of the best Classified Joe figures to date.
I thought this was a Valorverse figure. Hasbro really increasing quality. Just wish they put the same love into other lines.
Loved Stalker in the comics. This figure does him justice!
I enjoy the stills at the end of these videos. It's a great way to show off the potential than an action figure can possess. And you definitely killed it but Stalker, here.
His headsculpt kind of resembles a young Carl Weathers
Daaaamn, those pics are hot at the end of the review. Such cool action shots D.
Stalker & Flint are my favorite Joe’s & you had em posed out!

He’s more snake eyes than snake eyes
Love your reviews D. One of the best in the game. Cheers!
Great reviews, you have a radio voice man. Meaning you sound like an advertiser reviewing the characters, that’s not a criticism just that you have that radio voice as they used to say lol😂good stuff brother
My first GI Joe figure when i was a kid back in the 80's. Stalker is my favorite. Great review as aways!
i've been dreaming of a classic green camo, dad-looking Stalker, but i'm surprised they aged him up so much. he looks a good 15 years older than he does in my head.
Great video as always, I have him pre-ordered. Oh, and Riley's a good photo-bomber. 👍
Excellent review as always. I can't wait to get mine in hand!

I always enjoy your videos Sir! Especially the dioramas, preciate the fun and great content! 👍
I definitely had to pre-order Stalker. Riley is a Real American Hero!
2:47 The Ghost Rider Haslab driving away!
Great review as always my guy, this guy is incredible, he'll go great alongside my other Gi Joe figure, and if/when I get him, I'll make him fight my City Hunter
Cool ending with Riley in the background haha
My favorite character and figure of all time!
Def need to get this in my Set, Thank you D Amazing!
Might buy him for a custom Metal Gear Old snake figure
👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾Excellent review as always. Can’t wait to get mine.
Thanks for the great review! Can't wait for this one
Great video loved the Riley blooper reel lol
Can't wait to get this figure! Amazing review as always D 🙌🏾
Great Review!!!! Thank you for the hard work💯👍👍
I can't wait to get him. Great review your such a cool dude
Definitely copping this figure and tell Riley they're a great cat!! Great vid!
Great review ! Beautifull pictures at the end !
Riley and Stalker in one vid? Absolutely amazing! Just let Riley know we love him even though he can be needy! Also Stalker looks amazing, cannot wait to snag him!
Wow this looks way better than the proto photos.all of the colors blend nicely and that head is great
His suicide gun is the m32 which is based on an early rendition of the mp5. Great submachine gun,
suicide gun???
@@Notjeff4sure no idea why it auto corrected to that. Obviously I meant submachinegun
Awesome video and pictures. Just picked him up today 🤟🏼
This guy is one of my favorite purchases, I can't give him enough credit!
I love this figure. Can’t wait to get mine. Stalker was always one of my top 3 Joes.
Great review, also please remember to take care of yourself and your health. (Cats included)
The shot with the Predator awesome!!
the promo images do the figure a disservice. It made the figures green camo too dark But this review has shown that it is very close to the original color. so glad I have him on order.
Stalker & Iron Spirit are in my top 10 figs of 2022
Great review and great figure! Hasbro is doing a fantastic job with the GI Joe Classified series. I will definitely get it this SGT Stalker.👍👍
The GI Joe classified Stalker is looking good with his new camouflage uniform.. although I like his older uniform this one is Not bad at all .. like the new great colors on it ..good choice 👍.
With this guy going on sale at Ollie's for like five bucks I'm definitely going to pick one or two up to make a custom Sergeant Johnson. Thank you for the review
Had to buy another one. He´s one of the best classified out there.
Wow this one came out really good!
Glad i Ordered this guy i need more Soldiers
Wow, you lucky b@stard. You’ve got both Stalker and Outback. They are the two I’m most looking forward to getting. Anyone else getting a Keith David vibe from that head sculpt?
Looking forward to mod him with some action force gear
Forgot to get my preorder in on him. Looks as awesome as expected though. Got the twins and said would wait on Stalker. Need to add if can.
Highly agree on checking out the marvel comics of GI Joe. Great reads indeed.
Shout out to Riley!! 👊🏼👊🏼
Does the Valaverse marine cap and Delta chest rig fit him? cause if so I gotta hunt for a 1/12 scale cigar and this will be my Modern day Sgt. Johnson
What's up Riley! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Master Chief wouldnt be the same size cause of him being genetically enhanced
Just FYI that camo is called Tiger Stripe and was used in Vietnam
And the neck cloth is a Shemagh (probably spelled wrong). Hi Riley
awesome video dude! can't wait to get my! have a good day!
They’re gonna have to add more alternate hands.
Was that a NECA 7inch Predator he was up against?
Guardian from predator 2
Huge gi joe fan
Now that I have returned to the usa i can't get these classified figures as quickly as I used to be able to when I was living in Europe. Cute cat
Great figure - i'll be picking this guy up
3:22 agreed! a good read through of Larry Hama's run makes everything right! FraNk is on issue 159 right now
Stalker vs Predator gives me Carl Weathers vibes! He's not going out like Dillion though...
Fire
That’s that HNIC right there 💪🏾
I am really thinking about buying him.
its only 12 on amazon now
Look awesome and amazing
the machine gun is a m249 saw the smg is a mp40 and the pistol is a Beretta
good review bro
it s worth it to roll back a few mins - months to see your scenes - poses
I ve seen Stalker s reviews before this one, but yours are always excellence
Stalker
ok, I got him now, and... he looks much older
some might say more realistic
now I m thinking... will retro card be younger, and more attractive as Duke? mmmmmm
Gung ho is waaay better too, I have the 'poor' man s classified version
he s like Stalker, ok
his file says he was a gang member, a 'quick' man, street smart
before Doc, I used him as the medic, he s qualified
this is why I like fewer members, you get to know your agents,
and what they really can do
the comics
from 1 to 10 is my style for Joes, A - team - mission impossible military elite team
after that comes Kwin & Dr Venom stupid liberties which we did not ask for
it became like a soap with Snake and switching agents before you can get to know them,
forget all about those who were not on shelves except Snake and Cobra Commander
....it was crap, and the cartoons were mostly for kids with lasers....
you were better on your own and pick some ideas
basing your concept on Joe s releases and file cards to get ahead on story - script
even then, Stormy turning, or Serpentor, Cobra la, Overlord were just confusing
hey, I paid, and Serpy is CC s pet project and gives him good pr that s it!
the others? nothing but a bad dream bro, a bad dream
Hasbro left the best part out, Pythona, she was inspiring
ah man, I d really like loose backpacks sold in pairs,
I d make him fly like the cartoons, that, I liked!
btw, I never took him out of his box yet
I pretty much only had class Duke and Scarlett then, that explains it
now I have also Hawk and Snakes, Rock and Gung ho,
it ll be worth it to open that treasure, mmmm
the comparisons
ahhh, with Snake, like the ol days!
mm, next to Gung ho, I love the size dif, looks so legit now.
aahhh, I want loose ram cycles!
I love the contrast with Spidey and the troop
man, I can t wait to put him next to... Hulk! ha, ha!
if only I had General thunderbolt Ross... can t catch em all kids...
ah, master chief? so good bro, so good! wow
ah the scenes man, the scenes!
Stalker taking on the Predator takes the cake and eats it earning $200 when passing the parking bro
man, I swear, if I get my money, I ll contact you to laminate some pics in my house
psa
Hawk ; never pass on a good thing kids! even if it s years ago!!!
good show bro
he looks old............which is great! gives the line some subtle history.
formulaic as it is.....i was hoping that in Retaliation, the Joes would have to call upon older members, led by Stalker, to help them with their mission.
but, no. we got one-note Willis and a bunch of unnamed, almost faceless, extras.
You just gave an example on why that show should get OVA’s.
Stalker is the best! Can’t wait till this shows.
what's up Riley!
🔥
Hey Riley!!!
This goes so hard!!! Why oh why do they keep messing up the movie?
Totally unrelated, but have you gotten your hands on the Amazing Yamaguchi New52 Superman yet? He is amazing! Totally pumped he came with a wired cloth cape.
My mind is absolutely blown away by this Superman bro! I just figured a way to tuck the cloth cape into the neck/upper chest port and now this thing is freaking AMAZING!!! Hes like actual 3D art bro.
Does your head fit on the stalker body???
Detroit stand up!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
When I get him I'm changing his head to Samuel L Jackson
Hi Riley!
I just realized you're saying Mesco ME as in you because that is your likenes on the figure head.
Best boy Riley ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yeah man its Stalker a must buy forreal but I still prefer the 1/6th sideshow version as a younger man so unfortunately this head will be switched out.
💀👑: Be good boy Riley.🙃 & also I'd just use this figure as a hero in general fighting some Predators. & Xenomorphs too.👀
Edit: Literally after I said that, & wasn't done watching yet, there's a Predator in one of his shots fighting him. 😂😂
M60 might be the name of the Lmg
hey Riley 👋
I can't wait till I get Dillon... I mean Stalker 😁
Shout out to Riley!
Stalker and the twins are on a different size scale than the older classified figures. A little bigger heads limbs ect…..
As boring as repaints can be....they need to consider putting stalker in urban camo, he's just such a perfect figure.
Is it just me or does stalker's LMG resemble the XM250?
It looks like a simplified cross between the M249 and the XM250, mainly because they left off the suppressor that comes with the XM. Either way, he's carrying a heavy load!
Apparently, the suppressor for his pistol works for the LMG as well, so close enough.
It looks more so based off the Stoner KAC to me. Looks similar though.
Yo just so you know it's "Wilkinson" not "Wilkerson"
Lmao why do you keep calling him Stalka? Isn't it Stalker 🤣 anyways dope review as usual!
What's up with the old man face🤦🏾♂️
He's been a sergeant for 40 years. It wears on a guy.
Great review but stalker needs the J.U.M.P jet pack
