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!

Yo Joe!  Next up in our looks at G.I. 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!

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.
