Finally! After about 2 months of press releases, toy fair shots, leaked pics and reviews, actual retail shipments of G.I. Joe Classified Deluxe Snake Eyes have finally started hitting front doors. There were two waves of orders on day 1 – the first sold out pretty quick and those shipped last week. The second round were advertised to ship in June/July so if you haven’t got one yet, hold tight it’s coming later this year. Luckily we were able to get in on round one and today we are posting our pics and thoughts on the first 6 inch G.I. Joe figure, hopefully of many more to come – Deluxe Snake Eyes!

Read on to check out over 115 HD shots we took here at home base. These include basic white BG shots showing what he can do as a figure, the parts, some comparisons, and then some fancy shots at the end to get us all hype for some tabletop battles down the road!

118 Building Extreme 17

Extreme Sets have been making cardboard based pop up dioramas for a couple years now, branching out from their wrestling roots and giving us environments to fit all our action figure themes. Most of these have been at the 1/12 scale, working with Marvel Legends, NECA, Star Wars Black Series and the like. Today that changes with the introduction of two new 1/18 scale sets. The Building 3.0 and the Deranged Alley 2.0. Building 3.0 is new, it just dropped in the 1/12 scale. The Deranged Alley 2.0 is a remix of one of their most popular sets, I’ve used it a lot for Marvel Legends and DC figures over on Toyark (Hit that link to see the 1/12 sets in action). Both of these now work with 3.75 / 4 / 1/18 scale. Prior to today, the only other one from Extreme Sets was the Command Station, which was cool but a little sci-fi. These new ones allow for some real world displays and photographing options.

Both sets feature the same modular display system Extreme Sets is known for – cardboard panels that tab together and can be reconfigured to your liking. You can create cornered street scenes or wrap them around into a building. The Building 3.0 set also comes with a roof if you choose to go building style. The Alley comes with flooring as well, and you can buy additional ground packs in the 1/12 scale to supplement that, or use with the Building set.

All in all they are great ways to get some spice into your G.I. Joe toy photography or display areas. We’ve run the sets for some pics to show what they can do and how they can be used, read on to check out over 55 HD images after the break! The 1/18 scale sets are in stock and shipping now at Extreme Sets. If you use code TOYARK at checkout, you’ll get 15% off your order!

Extreme Sets have been banging out cardboard based Dioramas for a while now, starting with Wrestling themed ones and more recently moving into the Multiverse line that focuses on all genres. Waves 1 and 2 are out and you can check reviews for them over on Toyark. Up until now, these sets have been for 6/7 inch scale figures, so unless you were using it as a far away backdrop in photography, it didn’t really work for G.I. Joe and 3.75 figures. The Command Station set changes that. It is designed for 3.75 scale figures and is huge, spanning 2 stories at 16 inches tall, and roughly 60 inches wide depending on how you configure it all. It gives you an instant base for your Joes or Cobras for use in photography or just out on display with your collection. This is not specific to G.I. Joe either, so you can use it with any 1/18th scale line that you think it fits with.

We’ve done up a detailed set of pictures showing what it can do, so read on to check out over 45 HD images of the Joe team hanging out in their makeshift base!

Destro has built his army of Iron Grenadier troopers from his bodyguards. Chosen for their endurance, tenacity, and pure meanness, these troopers are part of the weapon supplier’s plans to take control of the Cobra organization. They are trained to infiltrate an area, spreading panic and chaos that result in a increased demand for weapons (supplied by Destro, of course). Mercenary to the core, their reward is a prcentage of the profits gained from their endeavors.

Cobra Vipers are the backbone of the Cobra legions. This front-line force is heavily equipped and highly trained for battle. If there’s a dirty job that needs doing, these guys are first in line and not only for the sheer pleasure of causing mayhem. They also get rewards as they move up the ranks, making them willing to follow any orders that give them a chance to earn the favor of Cobra Commander.

Every S.A.W. Viper is equipped with a gyro-stabilized, cryogenically cooled mini-chain gun that has an auto-ranging optical sighting system complete with infraed night vision capabilities. This means that every trooper has a highly accurate, low-malfunction machine gun that won’t burn out the barrel during intense rapid-fire bursts. Don’t get pinned down by these guys; their weapons have integral sound suppressors, effective flash inhibitors, and powerful image-intensifiers: you won’t hear or see them coming.

Cobra B.A.T.’s are mechanized troopers built en masses to create an endless supply of “fire and forget” soldiers: combat machines that keep fighting until the enemy reduces them to scrap metal. They go in first to wear down G.I. Joe forces, paving the way for a fresh wave of flesh-and-blood Cobra Troops to try to finish the job. They’re a bunch of computerized tin cans with guns, but they can do a lot of damage before being reduced to smoking piles of circuits.
