Looks like Torch will be my favorite so far, other than retro Zartan of course. I'd like to see Monkey Wrench next, but I'm good with Road Pig or Zandar. I guess Zanzibar would be the only one I'd want after those two, since I'm a vintage fan. I have no idea who those other Dreadnoks you mentioned are. Lol! I have heard of Zartan's daughter, Zanya.
Torch looks like the best one yet! I'm sure we'll see the Flamethrower again sans skull with Blowtorch. The pistols look new to me. They COULD be Dr. Mindbender's, but I see that one so infrequently i'm not certain anymore.
I'm a simple man. I see a new Bobby B Classified GI Joe review video and I have to click. BTW Bobby, I'm absolutely with you that I think the Nocks thing was a legit misspell by someone that they've been playing off. Personally I'm ready for Thrasher next. Need him ASAP.
Zandar, Monkeywrench and Road Pig and I’ll call it good. I had a money snafu this past week and had to take Torch out of my Pile of Loot to cover something and didn’t check to see if he was in stock before I did it. He’s not available from BBTS, so I will wait until Prime or Pulse gets him.
We're on our 4th packaging iteration with no consistency in the packaging. In the beginning it looked good on the shelf having the boxes artwork facing out or numbers facing out because it was all uniform. Now it all looks like a mishmash of poor decisions by Hasbro. I've taken to keeping ONLY exclusive or really hard to find figures boxes.
You know, you are right about never seeing the three core 'Noks w/o their glasses...I'm going to glue Buzzer and Ripper's down. Great review, and I agree that someone needs to step up their game reviewing/approving the tampos.
I'm getting rid of the Flame Tattoos and the Wrist Chains. It's a little too much. I want it to look more like the original Torch. Mine is on the way from B.B.T.S. Can't wait! Great review Bee's!
Fun review Dreadnoks have been my faves since the 1985 Lineup and working on some desk dioramas with them but Monekywrench should have already been out and hope he joins the lineup soon!
My Torch is on the way. Very excited. I think Zandar and Road Pig are next. The Heartwrencher and Falcon pack are exclusives I believe. If the rumors are true then a Thunder Machine is coming. Thrasher is bound to come with it. I’m sure Zanzibar and Monkey-wrench will follow. I have a One-NEF Zartan Chameleon water skiff but wouldn’t mind seeing that vehicle in Classified. Include it with Zandar. I of course want Cold Slither variants. I’m sure I’ll buy and buy as long as they make them and I have funds.
Dreadnok, Burn Out! & Kaos who looks like Jason. And Dreadnok Strom Rider who also looks crazy cool with the bandana covering his lower part of the face.
This guy looks great and yea gotta have 'im to complete that OG line up but I'd love to see Heart Wrencher or Zanya just to throw some of the ladies into the mix but I am really looking forward to Roadpig too love the big monster characters when they come up
I do think Torch is the best looking so far. Also I think his blowtorch is going to be reused with Blowtorch next year (minus the skull). I want Zandar and thankfully he is also forthcoming. Beyond that, I just need Thrasher and the Thunder Machine to complete my Dreadnoks. I did have Money Wrench...so...will need him too. I am betting he is coming up next year. In fact, I am willing to bet the majority if not all of the early to mid 80s will be completed by next year. I think the focus will shift to late 80s and early 90s in the next few years. The vehicles will be playing 80s catchup....
I just got the fig today. Great addition. Having the others as well as Zarana it starts to feel more complete. And I 100% agree with the take on the glasses. What pisses me the most is this. They might do a retro. Especially with Buzzer who has rather different gear than he had with his 1985 figure and I will bet you they will mold on the glasses. Then your regular figs will become useless overnight. Where I do not have that same feel with for example the troopers or the Duke figure. Even scarlet. Though her retro is better. And it just irks me. Because every figure should be good. At least a solid representation of the character.
Great review. Mine's arriving tomorrow! I think I'm just going to reload this review on my channel with the ATKM logo all over it-- but, don't worry; the vid only be 2-minutes long. Hope that's cool!!!
Great looking figure. I just wish they had given him the proper torch. He didn't have a flame thrower. He had an oxy-acetylene torch for cutting metal and such like the other dreadnoks Buzzer a diamond toothed chainsaw and Ripper Jaws of life they were a wrecking crew
Soooo all this stuff came with torch and he’s a regular fig but according to Emily and Lenny if they include the punching bag with big boa (who only came with a set of weights and a unmasked head ) they would of had to make him a deluxe figure 🤷🏻
Just got Torch. Curious if the ankles on yours feel weak/loose? Not sure how long mine will hold up. One of the hands should have had a horizontal hinge (?) so he could grip the flamethrower better. Looks wise, I think he is pretty good.
@@beesbattlegrounds They seem to be supplying influencers and RUclipsrs first which is a sound strategy. Except they’re waiting months between giving those influencers and RUclipsrs the product and releasing it to the general public which by then the interest has dwindled. I can see why Hasbro is losing a lot of money with the distribution issues they’re having.
I want Zandar and Monkey Wrench next followed by Thrasher and Road Pig. I'd like to see Thrasher come with the Thunder Machine, but I don't know how they could possibly reuse that as anything else, there for justifying making it in the first place. Edit: Oh I may have just blanked out and missed if you mentioned it, but do the flames in the skulls eyes come out or are adjustable at all|
The flames on his back pants pockets was a weird and unnecessary addition to the figure 😂 I swear every dreadnok figure they have to just take it that one step to far and do something goofy and weird……less is more sometimes……. I think we are getting zandar before road pig ….im thought zandar is on the list for 2024 as a late summer fall release but who knows they seem to be having issues with there release dates and distribution this year …….but I did just pick jinx, doc and torch up at Walmart even tho there street date is august 1st 🤷🏻 someone fucked up
Really glad to get him (When he's out) his OG never released in the UK back then, only had Ripper and Buzzer of the trio.
I didn't know! 😮
Yeah, we had Monkeywrench though which my kid self thought was the same guy. When I saw them together later on I was so confused.

Great suggestion! I forgot about Zanzibar!
Ripper turned out great, but Torch looks killer! Love the Lemmy vibe! Great review! Bring on Monkeywrench!
Great review. Mine just shipped so it should be here in a few days. He looks awesome. I would want to see monkey wrench next.

Low key jealous right now brother...great vid! 😁
Great review, can’t wait to finish up the original five Dreadnoks. Mine will be here tomorrow
Let me know how you like it!

Thanks for the support! And I'm sure we'll see him!
Road Pig is my most wanted. He was a key brute back in the 80s on my battlefields.
I'm hoping his Classified is awesome!
Good review very thorough. I like how you don’t hold back on pointing out the inconsistencies. Bit of a let down for the BAT
Kinda reminds me of Lemmy from Motorhead.
Cool looking figure. They stand out from the Cobra troops.
Those flame effects seem well done. Always good to have options.
great job man - cool to see them all lined up like that. passed on buzzer, but this dude looks like awesome 👍
Zandar, Monkeywrench and Road Pig and I’ll call it good.
I had a money snafu this past week and had to take Torch out of my Pile of Loot to cover something and didn’t check to see if he was in stock before I did it. He’s not available from BBTS, so I will wait until Prime or Pulse gets him.
He'll drop soon!

Great review , can't wait to get him in hand
Excited to finish off the core dreadnoks. Disappointed the effects don’t work on the bat but I get that the port would be to small for the effects
You know, you are right about never seeing the three core 'Noks w/o their glasses...I'm going to glue Buzzer and Ripper's down. Great review, and I agree that someone needs to step up their game reviewing/approving the tampos.
Torch was my favourite as a kid. He’s in my pile of loot right now.
Hopefully the Classified can bring back some great memories!
@@beesbattlegrounds , it’s a greatness. I love this line. I’m a big army builder. So fun
Buzzer for me. Actually Buzzer was my very first GI Joe figure. Airtight my second.
I’m keeping the box plastic to make other things. The Cobra logo backgrounds I keep as well. You can keep some of the bigger deluxe boxes as risers.
Good idea! I keep all the GIJoe boxes (I don't know exactly why 😅) but recycle my other brands
Wait game for mine. But he looks dope! Road Pig or Thrasher I would like to see next
I'm getting rid of the Flame Tattoos and the Wrist Chains. It's a little too much. I want it to look more like the original Torch. Mine is on the way from B.B.T.S. Can't wait! Great review Bee's!

I do think Torch is the best looking so far. Also I think his blowtorch is going to be reused with Blowtorch next year (minus the skull).

I dig the fig!!!
That backpack and flamethrower(minus the skull) would be great for a Blowtorch figure. Maybe some reuse in the future.
Oh definitely!
A first-rate Torch review!
How do you keep the glasses on Buzzer and Ripper without them looking like garbage?
I just kept working them to get them on as best I could. They're not on perfect but work at a distance 😂
I'm waiting for them to announce Zanzibar. He's my favorite Dreadnok. He's a Dreadnok biker, who's also a freakin' Pirate!
So awesome!
I forgot about him!
Definitely repainting Ripper's legs to be a little brighter.
Cant wait to see Donald Deluca get his figure.

Don't forget to fabricate a story about being struck!
@@beesbattlegrounds doh! I won't!
Great looking figure. I just wish they had given him the proper torch. He didn't have a flame thrower. He had an oxy-acetylene torch for cutting metal and such like the other dreadnoks Buzzer a diamond toothed chainsaw and Ripper Jaws of life they were a wrecking crew
Want all of them

Where do you purchase from??? I got him and Ghyde from Hasbro and mine aren't coming till early July
This came from BBTS
I wonder if the next Has-lab would be the thunder machine.
I think they mentioned at SDCC that it is small enough to be mainline
If they kept the Packaging consistent with the original Packaging I would have kept them but Now I just dump them in the recycling bin
What’s going on with these release dates? Mines still showing August 2nd. Must vary by region?
I have no idea. It's all over the place

I think they flames are glued in
@@beesbattlegrounds Yeah that's what I figured.
Monkeywrench
Why is torch out of scale w/ other dreadnoks? Taller, head, nose bigger...WTF? After such a long wait to complete set.
We need cold slither box set
The flames on his back pants pockets was a weird and unnecessary addition to the figure 😂 I swear every dreadnok figure they have to just take it that one step to far and do something goofy and weird……less is more sometimes…….

If you heat up the bat’s arm will the fire effect fit?
No, the port is too small
Monkey wrench should be next but I can take Road pig will be pricey due to his size.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I want Monkeywrench & Heartwrencher
zartan and his germs😂😂😂😂😂😂 according to destro
Monkey-wrench was my favorite as a kid. Probably just cause he had monkey in his name. Silly kids.
Thats what's it's all about though! Fun as a kid!
WICKED!!!!!!
I buy and sell figures on Mecari. I would love to buy figures from Hasbro with no box. “The trash around my plastic.” ROBO
