Straight from the terrorist organization(s) nefarious plot to give collectors across the country heart attacks and strokes, today we are taking a look at the exclusive Cobra Island Baroness and C.O.I.L. set.  The first 3 exclusives – Cobra Trooper, Beach Head and Roadblock V2 came first, with Baroness hitting stores a week or so later.  She is still trickling out, so if you are still looking hopefully you can score without hitting the aftermarket.  I was lucky enough to have a friend of a friend find one in the wild and offer it at cost, so big props to KamenRiderOOO and TokuChris over at TokuNation for that.  That being said, I’ve hit Targets an absolutely stupid amount of times since the end of July, probably more than I have been in that store in the last 3 years combined, and have only seen Roadblock on the pegs, once.   And that’s with tracking via Popfindr, bugging employees, and doing 100 mile circuits (at the start of this mess).

What makes it all that more frustrating – these figures are GREAT.  And Baroness especially.  Modernized suit with classic notes, color palette on point, epic face sculpt, good weapons.  It has it all.  The bike – the sculpt is good for a future techy style vehicle, but there is a lot of raw plastic going on and it feels a bit Playskool.  Some detailed paint and washing to bring it a bit more real world and it could work.

Bottom line – Baroness is a win.  Hopefully she keeps releasing widely at stores, and really – hopefully she releases single packed with minimal changes down the road. Red, blue and alt decos are cool, but she needs to be easily accessible in this black version at some point.

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!

Read on to check over 60 HD shots of Storm Shadow, basic and fancy style, including a little mountain battle with Snake Eyes!

Yesssss.  The Commander has joined his Cobra troops in the Classified ranks with #06 Cobra Commander.  Part of wave 2, he comes packed with Gung Ho and the Red Ninja.  3 to a case, so other than Classified being on fire and blowing out everywhere, he should be relatively easy to find once things normalize.  This is his dark blue standard deco – he also has a Regal variant coming with a brighter blue, and a Snake Supreme variant which is even darker blue with red and gold highlights.  In package he has a dagger and gun – both with a snake theme, plus 2 extra hands – a closed fist and pointing finger.  There is a lot of painted detailing going on with the face mask, helmet, shoulder, buttons and chain, dagger and gun, Cobra emblems and leg stripes.  He also has a molded cape attached to overlay gear that is not easily removable.

We’ve run Cobra Commander through a session, read on to check out 50 HD shots and some additional thoughts.

You can view all our previous galleries for G.I. Joe Classified here.  We will also be updating the HissTank Database with base shots for each figure too.

Next up in our look at G.I. Joe Classified Wave 2 is the Red Ninja!  This is another troop builder, and packed 1 per case along with Gung Ho and Cobra Commander.  He’s using the Snake Eyes body as a base with new overlay gear.  The weapons are plenty and are most of what was in the #00 Deluxe Snake Eyes set.  Colors are a mix of maroon, bright red and black with some tan highlights.

We’ve run the Red Ninja through the motions so read on to check out over 55 HD shots and some quick thoughts.  We’ve also run the rest of wave 2 so check back tomorrow for Cobra Commander!
