I had to warm my figure up and put some shock oil in the ankle hinge now everything moves as it should. I wish he were 7 or more inches tall. He should have been the largest classified figure no way Serpentor should be taller than him. My only real issue is with the fist they need to start putting these on a ball hinge.
I didn't see one either. I will double check mine later. My joints were all tight af and the wings seem overly delicate and breakable and was missing movement in certain ways. I agree though, love the look, but the articulation and quality is disappointing.
They have elevated GI joe character designs like Trip wire , Raptor and so on, these characters that were once goofy looking now look amazing and bad ass
Especially Raptor. I remember seeing the original 3.75" figure on the shelves and thinking that he was a stupid looking character. Only Crystal Ball looked even more stupid from the same year. Hopefully Crystal Ball gets a huge improvement in Classified.
This figure is really unfriendly at first, he’s not the easiest to pose and stand, but he really gets a lot better once you mess with him more. Once that articulation gets broken in he’s really not hard at all to pose and get to stand.
That loose torso would drive me nuts. Nemesis looks good and has lots of fun features. I've never cared for Cobra La, but Classified almost got me with this one. Being exclusive and selling out so fast as usual, I didn't have a chance to be tempted with a purchase. If all of Coba La is going to be this exclusive FOMO low quantity scalper-bait, I am SO glad I'm not going to be part of it.
good review . . . I wish the wings were as full as the 25th anniversary version to make him look "flyable". The Classified version wings look cool, but doesn't look like they could support his weight in flight.
Good video Punk! It's funny I started checking your videos before I bought My Figures, I'm not a completist although I am starting to become one in part to your reviews. Lolz!
I missed him because I got confused with all the different preorder dates next to each other and thought he would come out on tuesday with heavy duty and trench viper. I hate hasbro and their stupid logistics.
I like the head with the bone ridge and guards better than the plain one. I do believe that the tentacles are for putting on foes to capture them; like the ribbon/bandage/seaweed grenades used in the movie.
When I saw the pictures on Hasbropulse, I was not impressed. But this video changed my mind. He does look cool. I would get a stand that makes him look like he is in the air and have the wings out stretched.
Well thankfully mine’s torso isn’t as wobbly, but I hate the wings. They don’t look as though they could lift him off the ground, let alone glide. They really convincing to just collect the retro Classified. They are closer to what I was looking for originally and don’t have to deal with Lenny’s imagination
I’m glad your isn’t loose, cause it’s awful. Also remember they want this line to evolve, so you do want to make changes and not just live in the past. It is nice they are doing retro for people that only want that tho.
As much as that might be true. It’s nostalgia that’s keeping the line alive. Best believe if things stayed like wave 1 and just kept going in that direction the line would’ve failed
I almost bought this figure from Ebay but im glad I didn’t yet. I was going to get him off Hasbro Pulse but they sold out and now im glad I didnt get him yet. Ill end up getting him because im a Completionist but now ill get other ones i missed first. Great review like normal I really like your videos your honest bro keep it up 👍
@Apunkwithtoys for one it means alot to me. For responding to me and yes I herd we might see globlus I. Hope. See all of them and. Thank. You again yo joe
I put him on a hasbro flight stand without using the extending arm piece (because he’ll tip over). It holds him like a champ and that’s where he will stay since as you mentioned he doesn’t pose well.
I personally like this figure. The articulation for a dude this size is great. Have we seen better on bigger dudes?....Yes. Definitely belongs in a flight stand. Also, his ears being covered are much better IMO.
Good the original 3.75" figure was there to compare the Classified. I had forgotten what the Nemesis Enforcer looked like since it has been a long time. I remember him having the bat wings in the movie, but the tentacles no idea about those. I guess the best way to display him is flying since that what he mostly did in the movie. And he may have grunted. The head looks a little too small compared to the rest if the body. There is a lot little details on the body.
The o-ring did come with wings and tentacles, but I must have lost those long ago. I think what most people are missing is he’s based on the new comic version of the figure, not just the cartoon movie.
Actually I think I like these wings better than the original I never bought the whole big man with wings but being a living organism makes it more like a jet pack or glider makes it more interesting
The wings are terrible. As for the swords. Instead of placing them on his legs. They should have made them attach to the wings. Extra head looks cool but not for me. The wings should have been like a sturdy version of Sauron from marvel legends.
So the hands are easy to fit on and off…that’s what I noticed about Road Pig as well. The problem was they almost came off of RP too easily when I was working a new wrist pose. Are you noticing anything like that with NE?
This is considered bad? I think hi joees has really improved on their figures in such a short amount of time. Hope they continue to strive. These figure is beyond amazing for a joe figure.
I missed any leg cuts when I went over him too. Yours has all the same issues mine does. He's rather disappointing because he's near impossible to stand with the wings on, and who wants to display this guy WITHOUT the wings on? It sucks because the sculpting and paint on him are fantastic. I really wanted to like him more than I do.
It seems like if you have a figure with something heavy on its back, the feet, legs and torso need to be tight. Mine stands okay but it takes work. Fair review for sure.
Mine was also very loose and difficult to stand. I should have heated up the joints a little bit, as I found them really hard to move. But, if the chest, waist, and hips of the figure were as right as the knees and elbows, I'd be happier. Also, with the bat wings on, his weight becomes way too back heavy. I could only get him to lean forward in an un-natural pose, without the swords in his hands because they don't fit either. I guess the best way to pose him would be with the snakes on his back, fist hands, and arms in a boxer stance. At least for me anyway. Honestly, I am disappointed in Nemesis. For such a large figure with special molds for parts, he just didn't do it for me.
I like this figure, at least he looks dope imo. But for an exclusive he lacks. loose trigger hands is kinda wack when he’s supposed to grip swords. At that point id rather claw hands 🤷♂️, along with the torso articulation. Not too big of a deal for me personally but he’s not as great as we all thought he would be
He’s a cool figure. I feel he should have been the same height as Goliath from gargoyles. Also very wobbly and under scaled imo He should tower over Serpentor.
I’m not in on any of the Cobra-La stuff. That said, the figure looks great, but those wings would be a deal breaker for me. I just don’t like the silhouette they cut when they’re on him. It’s made especially obvious to me that standing right next to him is Goliath, whose wingspan does cut a great silhouette.
Hi Punk, great video! Thanks for making these reviews. Did you ever consider using a FEXT Hobby System as a background for your reviews. It's modular, I bought some Sci-Fi 03 sets and made a Cobra HQ that looks like a bunker / hangar, I really like it as a display for Classified.
The wings module is absurdly overengineered and overly large. I don't have Raptor, but I feel like that is the scale and sophistication that was needed. There are plenty of Marvel Legends that have well-rendered organic wings that do the job that are presentable and have articulation. I know they probably wanted to build up to the price point for Nemesis Immortal here, but they could have done it in other ways. There are a number of very esoteric choices that feel strange and unnecessary (in my opinion); like besides the wings situation I don't see why his feet need to look that way. I ended up trying to disassemble and reassemble the wings on my copy to limited effect and ultimately just went to ebay to find a 3D printed custom alternate wings set.
As someone who purchased the figure I gotta say he definitely *isn't* worth the $45+ price tag. He has issues standing up on his own; has a relatively loose torso but thigh cuts that are so tight they're nearly immovable without a generous amount of heat; comes with trigger-finger hands despite having no shooting weaponry; the swords fit poorly and very loosely in the hands he does have; and (more of a personal gripe than anything) the wings are far less impressive with the figure in hand than they appeared on stream. At BEST he's a middling deluxe figure that is still not a value purchase at $34. Not the worst figure Hasbro has put in Classified, but he definitely landed with a loud thud.
I don’t understand how a multi million dollar company like Hasbro lets so many copyrights expire without renew. Disney, Marvel, DC find new ways to get extensions. Somehow Conan and a few others that should be in the public domain mange to get protected.
I swear to god you must be close to black out drunk by the time you get around to these videos. I would have trouble getting him to stand too if the entire room was spinning.
Sorry your torso area is loosen mine is pretty tight and stable but yeah me putting on his wings he is really hard to stand. So the articulation for the wings and the snake backpack subs out the leg articulation for the price point🤔 Got mine yesterday and I like him but I am disappointed 🎉 Nice review
I've watched multiple reviews and how is NO ONE talking about how stupid the swords are? The talon at the bottom makes no sense as it is currently positioned as it would always be stabbing him. Gonna have to drill a hole into the top, cut it halfway turn the top around and glue in a metal rod to keep in place.
I hated cobra la as a kid so if it's you're jam that's great. myself it's an easy pass. I don't mind some scifi in joe but this stuff was a step to far for me as a kid. for me serpentor was a poor replacement for cobra commander and it tainted everything linked to him.
Wait for D Amazing’s review. It will actually be more detailed, comprehensive, and won’t miss things like a thigh cut during the so called “review.” The people who have no skills in posing always have a problem just standing figures up in a neutral pose.
I’ve been told there is a thigh cut that is hidden and really tight. If so then I missed that and apologize for that mistake.
I had to warm my figure up and put some shock oil in the ankle hinge now everything moves as it should. I wish he were 7 or more inches tall. He should have been the largest classified figure no way Serpentor should be taller than him. My only real issue is with the fist they need to start putting these on a ball hinge.

@@Tripwire788 There's a thigh swivel - it's shown on a few other video reviews.
I’m not a fan of Cobra La either but I still want this figure.
Punk, you had me cracking up...."Call him what you want. No one is going to come and take your toys!" Also,"QR code takes you to Hell."
Enforcer for the 1987 OG’S
Immortal for the lawyers .

Range viper and shadow Tracker are great to
as if goofy was anything to be ashamed of
This figure is really unfriendly at first, he’s not the easiest to pose and stand, but he really gets a lot better once you mess with him more. Once that articulation gets broken in he’s really not hard at all to pose and get to stand.
^^ what you said
I recommend flight stands for this guy! I just got the delivery notification for my copy. We’ll see how it goes. Solid review, Punk.

They make most figures look great, even if I don’t like them like Cobra La.
good review . . . I wish the wings were as full as the 25th anniversary version to make him look "flyable". The Classified version wings look cool, but doesn't look like they could support his weight in flight.
It reminds me of the monster from the movie of Jeepers Creepers.
I like this figure a lot ❤
I don’t see it, but as long as you’re happy with the figure 💪🏼
Good video Punk! It's funny I started checking your videos before I bought My Figures, I'm not a completist although I am starting to become one in part to your reviews. Lolz!
I take no responsibility in getting people to spend more money on toys 😂
I missed him because I got confused with all the different preorder dates next to each other and thought he would come out on tuesday with heavy duty and trench viper. I hate hasbro and their stupid logistics.
I like the head with the bone ridge and guards better than the plain one. I do believe that the tentacles are for putting on foes to capture them; like the ribbon/bandage/seaweed grenades used in the movie.
I got two of this figure today man... Very nice details for a humongous figure. Now we need the rest of the team.😃💡👍

great review. I try to use the wings to help pose him better.
Sadly that’s what’s gonna new to be done for most poses, but I want him in an attacking pose, that’s gonna be really hard.
@@Apunkwithtoys I'm trying to find a flight stand to hold him too, so that could help as well.
I almost bought this figure from Ebay but im glad I didn’t yet. I was going to get him off Hasbro Pulse but they sold out and now im glad I didnt get him yet. Ill end up getting him because im a Completionist but now ill get other ones i missed first. Great review like normal I really like your videos your honest bro keep it up 👍
Is it a Parasite on his back? That’d make a lot of sense, really, given Cobra La’s oceanic themes.
That is one way to look at it. Maybe the Nemesis Enforcer and the 2 creatures have a symbiotic relationship
Mine were a little stiff at first, but he does have thigh swivel. It’s just very well hidden the dark purple versus the lighter.
1987 nemesis enforcer can't beat him but this new one looks awesome to can't wait. For mine to come tomorrow I want to see them. Make the royal guard
I think we are gonna see a few more Cobra La figures.
@Apunkwithtoys for one it means alot to me. For responding to me and yes I herd we might see globlus I. Hope. See all of them and. Thank. You again yo joe
Bacon Blades!
I blame you for that 🤣
We should probably check with a cook and see if we are bacon experts and can discuss this.
I put him on a hasbro flight stand without using the extending arm piece (because he’ll tip over). It holds him like a champ and that’s where he will stay since as you mentioned he doesn’t pose well.

The design I think is great, but he seems very problematic, but I’ll see if I still say that as I mess with him more.
We need 3rd party Wings. I'm glad I watched your video before mines came in I'm not opening him at all lol
You have the swords backwards. If you look at the back of the box it shows which way to hold the swords.
He needs better wings
I'm glad they covered his ears. ORing looks like a purple monkey. I completely missed this. I wasn't paying attention when it went up 😵
It seems like if you have a figure with something heavy on its back, the feet, legs and torso need to be tight.
Mine stands okay but it takes work.

He does have thigh swivel.
Thanks for the honest review, I almost dropped $100 for this guy.
Always complaining just cause you don't know how to play with toys!
Yep
Great review I was on the fence about this one but I am going to pass
I couldnt get one so idk if its good or not .
It’s all in the eye of the beholder
@Apunkwithtoys yea
How bad, beyond every sense of the word ! Lots of poor design choices. I was expecting them to do a great job with this figure.
Mine has the super loose waist as well
im curious about what you mean with the different artists on classified leading to bad box art? which ones in particular did you have in minds?
If i were you, i'd put Nemesis back in the box, take the wings and put them on Once A Man CoCo. Then the wings are a plausible size.
Wonder if he'll get a retro with better legs
I like this figure, at least he looks dope imo. But for an exclusive he lacks. loose trigger hands is kinda wack when he’s supposed to grip swords.

Terrible we need all the sunbow looks and characters from the GI Joe 1986 movie. The Duke with that crazy jet pack too from the intro.

Figure looks great but is REALLY hard to stand up. All the Classifieds should come with stands
Maybe you should have reviewed that M Bison in the background instead 😆

Cool figure. Got one,, just don't like the wings. That is unfortunate.
Yeah the wings are the only negative to me. Otherwise I love it.
Mine pose well and she not loose at all ,mine is very stiff
I’m happy to hear they’re all not like that.
Not a big fan of cobra la either, good video!!

I swear to god you must be close to black out drunk by the time you get around to these videos. I would have trouble getting him to stand too if the entire room was spinning.
Great video
This figure has it's flaws, but to say it's the worst Classified toy of the year is a bit of a stretch.
I mean, everyone has an opinion. I do have to go back and look at what else has come out this year but this figure is one of the worst for sure.
Sorry your torso area is loosen mine is pretty tight and stable but yeah me putting on his wings he is really hard to stand. So the articulation for the wings and the snake backpack subs out the leg articulation for the price point🤔
Got mine yesterday and I like him but I am disappointed 🎉
Nice review
I like him. Mine stands & poses no problem.
Did you have a bet with someone when you did this video about how many times you could say "organic"? 😆
Glad I didn’t pull the trigger on this one. Those wings look terrible. Way too small for a fig that size.
In Cobra-La, Bacon slices YOU!
Flight stands would solve a lot of his issues.
You had his swords in his hands backwards. Alot of people are making thay mistake.
Those wings look kinda dainty though 🤣🤣🤣🤣 especially for a figure his size
Wasn't he like 65.00 after taxes and shipping or close to it.
$45. I have Pulse premium so I don’t pay shipping.
He definitely needs a stand to stand him up
The wings are huge disappointment. While I love the somewhat transparent bits, there's just not enough wing! Goliath does it much better.
But this is supposed to be from the new comic, which from my understanding is what they looks like.
@@Apunkwithtoys Noted. But his wings are too small to fly. He can't even stand on his own! 🤣
I wanted him, but seeing some of these reviews, I'm not liking the wings at all. They could have done much better with him.
Also, my Nemesis's waist cut is baby tight, so ya must've got a shitty one.
Glad to hear not everyone’s is awful
I've watched multiple reviews and how is NO ONE talking about how stupid the swords are? The talon at the bottom makes no sense as it is currently positioned as it would always be stabbing him. Gonna have to drill a hole into the top, cut it halfway turn the top around and glue in a metal rod to keep in place.
Mine stands just fine. And not loose. Could just be yours.
GarbageLa
They Dropped The Ball On The Wings !🤦🏿♂️
They made them to be like he is in the new comic book.
Cool looking figure. Bought one for a friend. But my thoughts are "it looks like a marvel legends...poses like a classified". Pass.
I hated cobra la as a kid so if it's you're jam that's great. myself it's an easy pass. I don't mind some scifi in joe but this stuff was a step to far for me as a kid. for me serpentor was a poor replacement for cobra commander and it tainted everything linked to him.
God here, I'm coming to take your toys.
Stop doing that with Nemesis Immortal! I can see you. That's nasty.
Wait for D Amazing’s review. It will actually be more detailed, comprehensive, and won’t miss things like a thigh cut during the so called “review.” The people who have no skills in posing always have a problem just standing figures up in a neutral pose.
He does have a thigh cut you just have to break it loose
He is a little loose and the wings could be better.
