That "pattern" on the green is military sweater nicknamed a "wooly pully". the reinforced elbows normal too.
Every time Robo reviews a figure: "I haven't had trouble posing-" *figure falls over "The figure has trouble standing-" *figure stands up straight no issue

The joints on these figures are all over the map. I have three figures right now. Destro’s joints are fine. My deluxe Snake Eyes has very tight joints and his butterfly joints don’t work at all. My standard Snake Eyes is floppier than a defective MAFEX figure.
The crossbow can plug into the port on his backpack. The handle acts as the tab.
When I was 5, a family friend who was living with us at the time called me to the shed in our back yard and asked me to fetch him a bucket that was sitting by the doorway as he took a seat on a chair. Thought he was gonna sit and do some work on his guitar and just wanted me to get him his tools... he pulls on the tabs on the lid of the bucket and pulls out a plastic bag and hands it to me.. “that’s yours” I’m thinking what am I gonna do with tools 🤔 he’s unties the bag and opens it toward me and I see it full of gi joes 😳 had to have been like 20 of them with weapons I was like WHOA!!! at the time I had seen the cartoon a bunch but honestly didn’t ever think I’d own them. I had a blast as a kid with them, probably my first big love before wrestling.

When I was a teen, I donated my joes to my friend's little brother. Our moms were friends so we hung out often and his little bro always wanted to play with my joes. When the time came I passed them on to him. As an adult collector I'm wishing I hadn't lol but it's all good. He was sooo happy!
I was laughing hard at the intro

I said I was only going to watch reviews of Marvel and Star Wars figures. But these GI Joe figures are interesting...
The Beachhead with blue eyes is actually Zartan.

I love how you always compare all the parts of the mold to see what's being reused or new! Great review!!
Beach Head is the first figure I remember owning from the original line so it's cool to see this modern take on the design. Also, as a lefty I appreciate Hasbro kinda vaguely making some figures left handed. Especially where I default to making most of my figures lefty anyway haha.
Beachhead has a red beret on his shoulder in the original figure.

I loved this intro so much! I have heard about the blue-eyed "variant" of good old Beachhead. I do like how the profile icons from the website are an interactive part of the collection this line. Bottom line, this is a great looking figure.
Need more intro/skit like these in my life
It would be cool if Hasbro ends up making the Cobra troopers available on their website, in those $15.00 army builder boxes.

It would be nice if we just got them with just helmets and standard rifles for $15.00. That way you could distribute the extra weapons from the $20.00 figures and get a squad with a variety of weapons.

@@itsdantaylor That sounds cool. Also be a good way to get out variants like the Cobra Officers that came with vehicles. i recall the black Cobra Stinger came with an officer painted gray.
I love the segmented thingy in the playback timeline! Thanks for that.
Nice. I love how u can put all their accessories on the figure, and on all the figures they've released so far.
Robo, I love how much fun you have with Beef Boss 😂 Man, I barely even watch for the toys, hell I mostly just do Mezco exclusively, youre just a great personality! I watch Joes, black series, legends, just because of how entertaining you are. Keep on keeping on, Robo.
These intros are great lol You’re the man Robo!
@ rob the think that look like a missile who is on the backpack is not a rocket. It is a grappling hook and lower part of the backpack is the cord. You can see that on the original Beachhead from 1986. The crossbow is from the 12 inch Sideshow G.I. Joe line
Awesome review as usual and big props to a great guy Dan Drewes👍🏼
Dull muted colors make sense for Beach. He's a Ranger through and through. His entire wardrobe probably came right from the base PX and is ready for field use. No shiny metal bits prevents light reflection making him more stealthy.
Love your reviews and can't wait to get Beachhead. That aerial view of Cobra Island is sick... the island itself is in the shape of the Cobra symbol which is really cool!!
And here I thought it was just me with the snake eyes knife problem, again robo love the intro clip!!! Great review too!
I picked one up today after someone told me they were in stock and he was going to get one. I watched the stock drop from 6 yesterday to 3 this morning. I went and asked an associate, they said no, they're street dated, so I asked for a manager politely. I wouldn't have gone if the stock wasn't going down. The manager wasn't convinced by the asktarget tweets saying these things were good to go way back on July 26, so I asked if she'd scan one just to see if it worked. If it didn't work, no big deal. It worked, the manager was visibly annoyed that it worked, but I got a Beach Head lol. Great figure, but the weapons look completely phoned in.

Nice. I agree his weapons look weak. The Pistol/Crossbow looks too small and the rifle is odd looking. It looks like it has a hinge on the side or something.

Went to Target last week. An open Beach Head box was on the pallet with two figures missing and the teenager, I mean “associate” still wouldn’t sell one to me because of the “street date”. The Baroness is gonna be IMPOSSIBLE to find. I hate that I’m reduced to having to ask kids who weren’t even born when the cartoon was on for “permission” to buy toys...This is NOT fun...what has become of my life?!
I love your intros! Amazing review as always, hopefully I can find some soon, aug 14th is so close!
Hahaha that Beef Boss cameo!!! I was lucky enough to pick up two Beach Heads, and cut the vest off of one of them. Oddly enough, the lack of ab crunch doesn't come from the stiffness of the vest, but its because he actually doesn't have much of an ab crunch at all. His shirt looks cool beneath the vest with battle damage cuts on the torso. Not sure why they decided to give him such shallow ab articulation, but like you said, he's got an overall great silhouette!
I'm praying for this magical truck of GI Joe's to show up at Target on the 14th. I wont hold my breath.
My main focus is G.I. Joe now too. Great review 👍👍👍
I love your channel and your intros.
Every time a get figure I always watch your review on it. I noticed the slot on the back of the backpack and I was like "wonder if Robo knows what goes in there?". Thanks :)
Love the intro. End of September these guys haven't gotten any easier to find.
This review is bittersweet - I loved Beachhead as a kid, I love the look of this figure, but I can’t find this set in Canada at all.
Always love the intro

Awsome Action Figure review bro
Fingers crossed I'll be able to start finding these Target Joes come the 14th. Once I have Beach Head, though, I'm gonna have to look into some acrylic paints to upgrade his weapons. Both for the fact that the plain green plastic weapons don't look very good on their own, and they just stand out among the other figures' accessories.
I love ur reviews! Makes me wanna buy em! Im a Joe fan in the 80s. Have some toys too. Read the comics as well. My God these toys are beautiful!
Gus is life! Love the intro hahaha!
Great review! Really looking forward to these. Hopefully the 14th makes them a little more available. Not sure how other stores are but mine has those code name things on the price holder like Mayfly and whatnot. If I go in Friday and they have figures on the pegs I'd be stoked, lol.
The handle of the crossbow can fit in the slot on the backpack. Love the details!
Ohhhh Gus! Good ol' Gus nicely surprised to see the old man... but not gonna lie, I WAS expecting Beef Boss. Nice fake out Robo. Very nice. And of course Beach Head is a must. Great Review.
I did think it was gunna be beef boss! Haha love it
I love the green weapons. Hit's me right in the nostalgia. :D
Great Video, I just got mine at Target.
I’ve been collecting Classified for the last couple months, and I was today years old when I learned that the symbols on the side of the box were the new file card system, and that there’s a slot for the crossbow on BH’s pack. Now I gotta download that app.
Got the Baroness today at Target. It wasn't on the shelf. I just asked one lady if she could point me in the direction where the GI Joes were. She was kind enough to walk me there and they had the gray camo variant of wave one Roadblock. She asked me which one I was looking for and I said all of them but this one because I got it already. She came back with the Baroness!!! 😁❤️ Then I got home and Amazon delivered Gung Ho, what a melon size noggin.!!!
These reviews of the Classified series from Robo reeeaaally made me want these figures, they just looked awesome and fun, whereas GI Joe was firmly before my time, being born in '91, my main personal tie to the property was the Fenslerfilm GI Joe PSA parodies on early KZread. But I'm now very much into this line, these are my Joes. Just completed wave 1 (repainted that hair on Scarlett though), and have Gung Ho, Cobra Commander, and Profit Director Destro on pre-order.

Even though I watched the cartoons and read the comics way back in the day, I never got deep into the stories and such, even forgetting most of what I did know. But these new figures are so good it makes me go digging back in. It's crazy.

I was the right age when G.I.Joe 3 3/4 inch came out, had all the straight arms. I lived that toyline as a kid. My next love was He-Man and my last live was MASK before I outgrew toys
Great Episode! .... Those green guns are pretty rough.
I loved this intro so much!!! lol
With the beret that came with Beach Head and Duke mold, I think we have the recipee for Flint. I just hope we get a new head sculp.
A cool review of a cool action figure!
Agree on the dropdown hips. I have some figures where it doesn't function properly, leaving uneven legs.
Lol you got me, I thought it was going to Beef Boss
That sci fi weapon art on the side of the box means we are getting a regular release.
I'll be damned I thought it was going to be Beef Boss!
Great job with the review as always. I wish they gave him NVG googles or a gas mask instead.
Robo!! I just got my Beachhead and there is a place for the crossbow on his backpack it's in the middle right next to the arrows. It looks awesome on the self.

Yup, I think it's meant to shove the grip into the pack, holds on much better.
Popfindr showed 6 In stock in my local Target for days. Then one evening, only 2 in stock. Went to Target in the morning. Nothing on the pegs. Spoke to employee: oh, those are street dated. I left the Target. 3 hours later, 0 in stock.
Nice video Robo. Such a great line. May I ask who did the photos towards the end? Those were really good
I just got my special edition Snake Eyes last week and it's got a pretty loose torso.
OG '86 Beach Head had the crossbow molded onto the backpack. Is there place to mount it on the backpack... @11:55 Yup it does. Awesome.
I have something of a sob story. I was 7 when I got my first GIJoe. I opted for the Cobra Officer figure. The silver Cobra emblem sold me on it. From then on, GIJoe figures were king for me. I used to have over a hundred. Then...my Mother remarried. When I turned 14, my Step-Father decided to throw every single toy I owned in the trash, while I was at school. All my GIJOES, vehicles, Legos, Battle Beasts, Visionaries, Army Antz, Centurions, Robotech, Transformers, Star Wars; everything. My sadness, anger, and frustration were profound. Somehow, I managed to store away and block that pain. I hadn't really revisited it, until 30 years later and I discovered these Classified Joe's. Suddenly, I have a near uncontrollable urge to reclaim that which was taken. I have been fervently ordering these figures. Sadly, I came to this game late and some of my faves are already hard to find, like Beachhead.
I'd love to get hold of this figure. It's sold at everywhere in the UK and I'm not paying silly money for it
"Cdog Cdog" here bro, this is my 2nd account. Absolutely LOVE this GIJOE line! I bought wave 1 & 2 collectors option from BBTS because those first 8 *CLASSIFIED* figures, I'm sending away to get graded for further future value (along with all the popular Earthrise Transformers figures in collectors option). *Question. Where do I get these?* I haven't even heard of these new CLASSIFIED figures i.e. Beachhead & Cobra Trooper. (anymor characters? Hopef not Target f'n exclusives?)* Having NO Target here, i missed out on JW Brachiosaurus & TMNTNECA TOON figures. I BETTER NOT miss the THUNDERCRACKER SKYWARP 2pk exclusive lol!
the one time I don't skip an ad during any video and it's a rick roll.........thanks KZread
Nice photos/poses at the end of the video. I totally agree -they seemed to be lazy with the paint this time. The buckles should be silver or different black. Or the weapons should have different areas being brown, black or silver -same with the backpack. The plain green looks like the green soldiers we had as kids -they need to be painted!
You can also put the handle in the backpack as well.
I would =love= to see an army builder release of the Cobra Trooper, along the lines of the Hydra and AIM troopers.
Now you have me very curious about what’s under those shin guards on Beachhead and Duke.
I wasn't really looking at the G.I. Classified series until I started watching Robo's reviews of them. Now I'm all in. Just bummed that I was late to the party and didn't get the exclusive Snake Eyes.
Hey Robo great review! Could you share where you picked up that custom Outback please?
@TheFwoosh

I made it. Head from Ebay, torso is ML Shatterstar, legs are ML MCU Killmonger, arms are ML Shang-Chi.
My prediction for the next wave of Gi Joe’s will likely consist of Shipwreck, Tunnel Rat, Breaker (Or one of the other Joe computer techs), a cobra viper, and atleast one named cobra officer either going to be a new storm shadow variant for the main line or I feel Major Blud would work. I would also love seeing Dusty and Spirit made in the classified line. And are both reasonably possible characters we may see in the future. I feel spirit with his Modern Rambo inspired appearance would fit in well with the line.
Have you noticed the front plastic window of the package is a portion of the star in the GI Joe logo? I have a feeling we'll get another version of the Cobra Trooper as a Cobra Officer with different paint aps.
Hey @thefwoosh, About 12:09 looking at beach head… is it me or is he standing leaning more towards the left. Or could his right leg longer than the left? I love my figures standing perfectly straight. Probably my ocd hope someone could explain and understand my view.
His weapon is the Nerf Nitron from 2011.

Waiting for “hit and run” to come out. Beachhead was my first gi joe.
Mine has finally shipped from July. Still livid and the only one I’ve seen at Target is Roadblock.
Do you have a video discussing your custome Outback?
I freaking love g.I.joe
Just curious, will the reese head fit on this figure to make another reaver? does it also fit on gung ho body? im in australia and will be sometime until thee are available to test it.
Are you able to mix and match backpacks between characters?
army builder right here.
I can totally see a great six inch version of Low Light. 😎😎😎
Super cool frkn figure!
They aren’t over flowing. They will be available but #s at the distribution warehouses are maybe one more restock...the numbers I was told are not the plenty we are hoping for. At least at this point. I’m confident I’ll get a Baroness and Beachhead. I’m not so sure getting 8 more troopers or even 4 more will be as easy.
Those.. intros.. what piece or art.
Is there a review of the wave 1 snake eyes? I can’t find it...
I painted my guns a dark grey and added blue accents to the magazine, barrel and scope
Would the new cobra commander work for a hope fully praying for a cartoon line
Hey fwoosh I don’t tell people about my toys that often but I was wondering if you’ve heard of the Star Wars at at that can hold umm the old g.i.joe figure size it came with a speeder bike and a at at pilot
the intro is so damn funny awesome job my site
I hope they make a classified series lifeline or cobra viper or cobra bat
Yes, best intros! Robo please start a new segment of an ongoing serial type series! Gus: Origins, Beef Boss Goes To Hell, Snowball Pete in the 25th Century, I’m sure you’ll come up with better stuff but please spend more time and money entertaining us!
