COOOOOOBRAAAAA!  Our first Cobra Enemy has arrived in the Classified line – DESTRO!  The first wave is Joe heavy, but #03 Destro does not disappoint.  He rocks a very traditional black, grey and red outfit, metallic silver paint on the head, open shirted swagger, and his trusty arm rockets are molded in.  He comes packed with a golden pistol, laser gun and Cobra briefcase.  His belt/holster/leg pouch and trademark gold chain can be removed.   We’ve run him through a set so read on to check out 50+ shots and some additional thoughts after the break courtesy of Dorkside Toys!

Next up in our reviews of G.I. Joe Classified Wave 1 is none other than Duke!  A true gem of a figure, Duke is #04 in the line.  He features a very faithful look to his cartoon roots with a touch of upgrade throughout.  He comes packed with a laser rifle, pistol, binoculars and backpack.   He has a shoulder harness, belt and leg holster that can be removed at will.  Sculpt is top notch, especially in the head department – a chiseled mug and military cut really capture the essence of Duke that 3.75 never did in my opinion.   This is one of the best in the wave, so read on to check out 40+ pics courtesy of Dorkside Toys!

Joe Classified Wave 1 is #01 Roadblock.  He’s #01 in line, and features a mix of old cues and new elements throughout.  He ties with Scarlett for wave 1 figures with elements long time fans have concerns with.   Aside from a couple misfires in actual production, the core sculpt and figure is solid.  Read on to check out some additional thoughts on it all, along with 30+ shots courtesy of Dorkside Toys!

TheNTWRK.com – an event driven, app based store for trendy and exclusive items, has listed a Cobra Commander Classified figure in an alternate color scheme. He features a lighter blue, with gold highlights. The figure will be available for sale on June 18th at 8PM. We assume Pacific Time Zone, since they are based in LA, but it doesn’t state this clearly anywhere. You can view the items on the web, but you’ll need to shop via their APP, available via your phone’s app stores. Price is set for $22.99 with a ship date of September 2020. Read on to check out some pics, including a new shot of the box!

If you use code Alex2k99HE in the app, on your profile page, you’ll get $15 dollars credit. We haven’t tested this, but worth a shot!

UPDATE: Added more pics – box and back of figure.
