G.I. Joe Classified Cobra Viper In-Hand Gallery

Posted on January 20, 2021 at 2:48 pm by Tony_Bacala under G.I. Joe Classified, Photo Shoots

Time for another look at the recent Cobra Island releases – this go round is for the Cobra Viper.  To all my brothers and sisters still on the hunt, I salute you.  As I’ve already stated, these come from eBay.  Obtaining them normally was difficult, had no luck, and I don’t like waiting.   You all know the deal, hopefully Hasbro and Target know the deal, and maybe next go around won’t be as bad.   I won’t hold my breath though.

The Cobra Viper is another great release for the 6 inch Classified Series.  Very classic vibes in both sculpt and paint.   He’s got removable goggles, a neck scarf to differentiate rank, backpack, pistol and rifle (both sci-fi style).  The vest is not naturally removable but can be done with a little effort.  Colors are very OG, a navy blue, red and black palette.  The iconic face shield is there and painted metallic silver using the same style as Cobra Commander from last year.  As with all of Classified, articulation is significant and everywhere, leaving nothing to want.

In the 1/18th scale – I never preferred the Vipers.  I always had some littered in, but I dug the Cobra Troopers more and focused on them for troop building.  Here though, I think the Viper works a bit better than the Cobra Trooper, or at least ties it in overall cool factor.  The bulky vest and helmet work better in the 6 inch scale I think, and this color combo really shines.  It’s just a sharp figure with a good stance.

I hope they repaint him over time in multiple color combos, as I would be happy to build out sub divisions.  That being said, this guy, just as he is here, needs to be more widely available at some point.  For him and the Cobra Trooper – once Target’s exclusivity is up I hope they offer case packs, or even some white box versions like they did recently with the AIM troopers for Marvel Legends.  Heck, toss 6 or 10 of them in a ziplock bag with a Hasbro Logo on it and I’m good.

Bottom line – another great figure made impossibly frustrating to get.  Keep on the hunt, watch eBay for a price that works for you, and grab him when you can.    Read on to check out our pics after the break!

Trick Or Treat Studios has acquired official Hasbro license to produce Halloween items based on the G.I. Joe Franchise.

While specific details are unavailable, it is likely that the company will produce Masks, Costumes, Props, Candy Buckets, Keychains, Decals and other such Halloween related items as they usually do for other licensed properties.

Expect the products to hit store shelves around Halloween 2021; which falls at the same time as the release of Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins movie.

G.I. Joe Classified Series Snake Eyes Variant Found At Retail

Posted on January 17, 2021 at 8:43 pm by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Classified

Much like Duke, Scarlett, and Roadblock, a variant of G.I. Joe Classified Series Snake Eyes has been identified at retail.

Noticeably, the red paint blotch above the visor is missing from the new variant; thus equaling to the 00 Preview Figure.

Speaking of which, the visor is also painted in a glossy black paint to distinguish from the helmet.

Additionally, a slight change in the packaging has been made. The knife is no longer showcased separately and comes inside the little sheath on Snake Eyes’ left thigh.

G.I. Joe Classified Firefly In-Hand Gallery

Posted on January 15, 2021 at 4:13 pm by Tony_Bacala under G.I. Joe Classified, Photo Shoots

We now return to G.I. Joe Special Missions: Cobra Island!  Taking a look today at the second wave of G.I. Joe Classified Cobra Island figures, exclusive to Target in the US.  Many of us remember the first round last year which featured Beachhead, Cobra Trooper, Roadblock and the Baroness.  A stain on the otherwise awesome relaunch of G.I. Joe in the 6 inch scale.  Supremely awesome figures, horrible experience getting them.

That continues this round with the release of the Cobra Viper and Firefly.  Both are extremely well done figures being put out in the worst possible way.  Pre-Orders lasting seconds, videos of bots scooping up dozens at a time.  Stores with limited supply, receiving them random times – some before, some on, some after the advertised street date.  Target employees being annoyed to all hell about them, some knowing and some having no clue what’s going on, and collectors needing to hunt over and over in physical stores for a chance to get them during a global pandemic.

But, it is what it is.  We can all bitch, moan, huff and puff, but at the end of the day we are collectors (see: addicts) and need our fix.   As with the rest of the line, these are great figures, and we want them now.  I struck out in the pre-order phase, and in my one attempt locally was greeted by 8 other fans in a Target isle waiting for the employees to do their job and stock the pegs.  After several hours and multiple attempts to clear the area, a manager came over and said they weren’t there.  3 hours later those stock numbers went to zero online.  Fun.  Luckily a buddy scored an extra Firefly online and hooked me up.   The Viper, caught one on eBay and then another from a friend after eBay was en route.  Still waiting on them to land.

Now, on to the actual figure here.  Firefly is a modern upgrade with classic notes.  He has his traditional grey camo deco, goggles, comes with a bunch of bomb oriented tech gear.  Instead of the traditional vest, he’s got a bullet proof focused one based on real life gear.  The silhouette is different because of that, some think a little too far from the source.  Personally I am ok with it, it’s within the scope of Firefly’s character and a modern remix of the classic.  Many of the body parts are actually from previous figures, continuing the legacy of franken-joes.  Again, completely fine with that, nothing feels out of place.   It’s another core offering in the Cobra ranks that builds out the shelves.   Well done, welcome addition, worth a pick up.

All of these will probably find themselves redone later in less exclusive fashion, and most likely with some changes.  So if you aren’t fully addicted, but would get it if you could easily, just hold out.   For the rest of us, we’ll hunt and pay the stupid tax on eBay.  And then come online and bitch, our God given right as citizens of the internet.  :)

Read on to check out our gallery, some base and fancy shots to show what he can do.

G.I. Joe Classified Scarlett 2021 Refresh – In Hand Gallery

Posted on January 12, 2021 at 3:49 pm by Tony_Bacala under G.I. Joe Classified, Photo Shoots

G.I. Joe Classified launched in early 2020 and 2021 is kicking things off with a refresh of those wave 1 figures! When wave 1 dropped, a lot of folks thought that some of the figures had a bit too much bling going on, specifically Duke, Roadblock and Scarlett. They had a Fortnite / video game vibe with certain paint apps combined with the techy weapons.

Hasbro must have listened, because Scarlett and Roadblock were confirmed to be getting new streamlined paint jobs when they shipped in Wave 3 along with Zartan and Cobra Infantry. Then yesterday, Duke was confirmed to have a new less blingy deco too.

Today I got a box with some Wave 1 figures in it, expecting them to be the original Wave 1 decos, and Scarlett was actually the new 2021 refresh version. So Duke and Scarlett are in the wild now with the new paint, not necessarily coming from Wave 3 repacks. I’d bet Roadblock is floating around somewhere too.

All in all I dig the Scarlett, and from the promo pics of Roadblock and Duke, also dig those. I don’t need things to be 100% retro classic, and the original versions were not horrible or anything. These all are an improvement IMO, a better balance of modern upgrades and retro feels.

I’ve run Scarlett through a quick set of pics showing off the differences. You can see them after the break.

These come courtesy of Dorkside Toys. I can’t guarantee that if you order Roadblock, Scarlett or Duke that you will get any specific version. If you 100% want one or the other, please contact them first to verify!
