Next up in our G.I. Joe Classified galleries is the Amazon exclusive Arctic Mission Storm Shadow.  This is a play on the Ninja Force Storm Shadow deco from the 90s, right down to the white blocking on his navy blue torso.  He also comes with a white ice pick (sickle) like the original.  Sword, sheath, grapple hook and cord, bow, arrow and non-functional quiver are  also included, so he is ready for action.  The hood is removable exposing a sharp navy blue head wrap revealing just the eyes.  I preferred it this way once in hand.  Structurally – he was very loose.  The torso bend and waist joint are floppy.  Hips are a tad.  Makes for some very insecure posing. Once you get it there, so long as you don’t try to fine tune much, he can stand though.

All in all a solid design, but I am eagerly waiting for a traditional Storm Shadow to take top billing on the shelf!

He is currently sold out, but has been randomly coming back in stock at Amazon for short bursts.  Keep checking here and good luck!

As many of you know the Amazon Exclusive Blue Ninjas 2PK #51 is now shipping out from Amazon. We got ours in today and wanted to share out some quick photos and some thoughts on the new release. While I’m not a fan of the Blue Ninjas in G.I. Joe IDW comic lore the 2PK of Classified Figures are still a welcome addition to my Ninja army build. Adding a female Cobra Ninja and a nice blue color splash to the collection shelf was worth grabbing a few of these.

Pros:
-Extra Heads especially the red Oni mask that can be used with Red Ninjas for even more army building diversity.
-Lots of weapons and gear.
-Army builder 2-packs and 3-packs are a very welcome addition to the line and I hope it happens more often.

Cons:
-Windowless plastic free boxes. Not a fan at all of this direction.
-No arrow for the female Blue Ninja

Cooobraaa!  The Commander is decked out and ready to rule in the Convention Exclusive Snake Supreme Cobra Commander.  This was originally most likely going to be a SDCC exclusive, and was eventually pushed back to September for Hascon.  A round hit during the online event, and preorders are in progress for a second round later this year.

He starts with the base retail edition of Cobra Commander then adds a new shoulder / belt harness, soft goods cape, new gun, new staff, and globe accessories.  He also sports a black, red and gold deco with a very ornate print on his chest, back and legs.  All in all he is decked out in a crazy over the top get up that is fitting for the Commander.    The packaging matches this with great artwork and a fold open gimmick.

We’ve run him through a set, read on to check out some basic, comparison and fancy shots after the break!

ICYMI: You can view all our previous galleries for G.I. Joe Classified here.  We also updated the HissTank Database today with recent reveals and our base shots for in-hand figures.

The countdown to SDCC 2022 continues with out next custom by CrimsonPrimus. For the second time today we have another G.I. Joe Classified 3D printed custom. This time it’s a mix of Wolverine Ripsaw with MMS and Cobra versions. It would seem 3d printing is here to stay in the G.I. Joe Custom community and you can see why.

The countdown to SDCC 2022 continues with out next custom by CrimsonPrimus. The G.I. Joe Classified Megatron Flak Cannon. There seems to be a small shift at Hasbro to provide us with G.I. Joe vs. Transformers toys and this one is something I would like to see in Classified scale.

It’s been a banner month for action figure collecting and it would seem the exciting announcements just keep coming. Today Carson from 3DJoes has launched a new O-Ring style action figure Kickstarter project with an all-star cast of original G.I. Joe Hasbro creative teams. Ron Rudat, Mark Pennington, Larry Hama, Ed Morrill, Kirk Bozigian and Bill Merklein! The goal is to create an extensive line up of O-Ring action figures in four waves (totaling sixteen figures), plus two bonus figures! There is a ton of information to digest on the official Kickstarter page, far to much for me to outline in one post, so make sure to visit the Kickstarter page for the full breakdown.
