had to buy 4 Range Viper for $55 each and I’m very thankful that someone on Etsy has a 3d print of the Range Viper head. Started collecting Classified since they release the Techno Viper which caught my interest in army building.

Ugh. That is disappointing that they couldn’t make more figures. Go Techno Viper!

I love that Sunbow-colored Retro Zartan! Very proud of him in my Cobra collection

❤ this video. Towards the end I was thinking I wish I could see the sub teams together. Then you did that too! Really appreciate your efforts.

You are correct about Dr Mindbender he had a black cape and big silver cobra logo in the middle of it. Loved the old school figure, still trying to convince myself to buy the classified one.

I also started collecting the Classified line from the very beginning #00. And I would have never guessed that the line would be this far within 4.5 years. I love it!

I admit I was an early naysayer. Told several people that we would not get very many figures and not to get expectations up. So glad I was wrong. Had to apologize to a few people also. Let’s keep going! My next highly desirable want is Barricade.

Yes on the suited Tomax and Xamot! Looking forward to the ReAction O-rings of them later this year. Would happily pick them up in the classified range as well.

I am excited for the Super7 o-rings also. I heard rumors that Fresh Monkey Fiction might release a blue suit in 6”, so… that might be something to keep in mind.

This video is awesome. I love these linewide breakdowns, especially for my favourite toyline right now. Really shows how far Classified has come.

This was a great vid! Thanks ✌️

I am pretty sure that the Snow Serpent is wearing a backup chute. As an Eel, I think they went to para-trooper training.

Great video! I really enjoy the logic you used to group them. 🙌 Keep up the good work.

I hope Hasbro repaints the Crimson Baroness to give us a proper Classic look for her. I also wouldn’t mind a blue version, or G1 Chameleon for that matter

I am down for a repaint of the crimson version. Also a Chameleon down the line would be neat.

Good overview. Classified got me back into Joe for the first time since I was a teen and gave my collection to my cousin. My method is to get one of every character, but not every figure (e.g. one Baroness, one Copperhead) though I have made some exceptions (e.g. regular and PD Destro which I switch out periodically) and have done a bit of Army building (Vipers and CGs that surround CoCo).

That sounds like a reasonable and sane way to approach this line. Trying to go after every figure can drive a person nuts.

Awesome line up. I have most of these, except for the HISS which I failed to get :(. And the two other Classified Cobra Commanders. I am like you in that I mildly army build. Minimum 2 or 3 with a leader/officer. One thing that gets overlooked, is that Storm Shadow (classic version) and the original Cobra Officer both have an extra set of articulation over all other classified figures to date. They both have forearm swivel. At some point they must have felt like it was too much cost and cut that feature out. :( Then one other odditiy. If ever I could ask Lenny a question, I would ask WHY.....oh WHY....with the legion of tooled parts and their penchant for reuse.....have they NEVER reused the Cobra Officer torso. Why? Even when they re-painted Python Patrol or 788 Fire team or even the Stinger driver.....the original Officer torso is absent. It has the rank on it -____-. I wonder if it was lost or damaged somehow.

They didn't use the Crimson Baroness arms on the Retro one because the Retro one came out first, and so those arms didn't exist yet. The Crimson Baroness head won't work on any of the other figures because the peg hole is much smaller, unfortunately.

I was able to use one of the Crimson Baroness heads on the Snake Eyes movie Baroness body.

I agree with you on the dreadnok issue. Thats probably about as close to the original as you can get

Btw I do enjoy your videos! The presentation style and the effort. Liked and subscribed.

Your review of these figures are very nice. Thank you. I use lady figures for drivers in the Trouble Bubble and Hiss because so many of the guy figures are bulky and I don't want to stress the seat belts. Have a great day.

@@MacDowin yes I saw the packaging art and I thought hey they got the faceplate right! It sort of has a nanoviper vibe but than the actual figure in hand. 1) mask faceplate let down 2) dreads hinder articulation 3) Zartans chest plate looks way better than his bulky vest. 4) the animal pelt around the waist is clunky. 5) missing his net and other cleaving weapons. This may be the first figure I let go of in hopes of a "retro" version which in his case wld be poc. Only this figure and falcons head and the gummy weapons my only complaints about the line so far. Everything else imo is awesome sauce!

The Mole Rat has Roadblock and Gung Ho legs. The left knee is the giveaway

The boxing gloves are going to be reused for the new Sgt Slaughter coming out.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned but you should be able to hand wash most of the dye that’s transferring to the plastic out of the cape.

Dr. Mindbenders cape was purple and there was no Cobra symbol on it. Unless it was really early or late.

I hate that they made the glasses removable on so many of the Dreadnoks.

The new M.M. Sgt Slaughter is going to reuse Big Boa's boxing gloves, so they're getting some milage out of Boa's molds.

Man, it’s disappointing they didn’t have the foresight to plan that people might want to swap heads.

Pimp Daddy Destro is a good repaint.

NOTE: Range Viper was a Wal-Mart exclusive, which is worse than Target exclusives because Wal-Mart doesn’t even stock GI Joe Classified in stores, and they have very low stock online. Range Vipers sold out online very fast, and have basically been $50+ for some time now. Shame for another troop builder to go the way of the Cobra Island Trooper years later. Didn’t they learn their lesson?

Some Walmarts don’t stock Classified but some definitely do. I’ve already found the new wave of Classified two different times at Walmart. I never found the Range Viper in the store though…..I just checked every day on their website to get the ones that I have.

Vypra is not an exact repaint she has different feet and arms. No the good guy ninja force “arctic” storm shadow has no cobra logos on him. And never should have had a cobra sigil in his packaging.

The serpentor head is not a fail. They gave an alternate head just to address that matter. That is beyond nitpicking.

It might be a nitpick. It just makes the head unusable for those who want to pose it around with the new modern look.
