Mutt and Junkyard have always been my favorite Joe's so glad that they included the muzzle for Mutt....always thought it was funny that Mutt needs one but Junkyard doesn't...as in you're more likely to get bitten by Mutt than you are by his dog😂.....great set excellent review as always Chris....I hope you and yours have a lovely holiday season...all the best in the new year...can't wait to see more of your positive and always entertaining content coming up in 2024.....cheers

Thanks Scott. My best to your and your family this holidays too - have a great break man, and thank you so much for all your support & encouragement with the channel this year :) Catch you in 2024...

Another gorgeous animal figure to add to the line up. They absolutely knock those larger animals out of the park. I wish Polly had gotten a bit more love, but Junkyard is going to look excellent on display with Timber and Order, when they get around to him.

I absolutely love this set. Tons of fun stuff to add extra value to figures that knock it out of the park on their own. I really like how the Classified line can consistently change which figure is my favourite and put this focus on the characters I wasn't so into in my youth and highlight them and and just deepen my appreciation for GI Joe over all even after 40 years of being a fan.

I agree with that. I started a "Best Joe of 23" vid earlier in December and just got myself so twisted with indecision because of that very reason. Couldn't even get my top 5 down to a top ten! LOL

Great pickup/review, Chris. He was always one of my favorites as a kid. Can’t wait to get him

YES! My Christmas wish came true and you got the review for Mutt and Junkyard up! I had a good laugh at your struggles with the blister pack. I'm already starting to miss the old fiber tie downs - don't love the tiny plastic ties - and it was always fun to open up the little accessories envelope. Oh well, at least we don't have to worry about getting the wrong figure in the box, definitely seen a number of complaints about that on discord. As far as the figures themselves, they look so good! I'm so excited for them to ship stateside. Absolutely a must-have for me and one of the figures I've been most looking forward to.

I’ve never liked blisters - ever since I was a kid. Especially with the tie wraps. Eurgh. They drive me batty and I hate the noise. I truly am going to miss those cardboard trays with the paper-y wraps. I think we’re in the minority tho…

I'm so excited for Mutt & Junkyard! They're gonna look awesome on the shelf. I never had this pair as a kid but my cousin did and I was terribly jealous. Great review! Happy Holidays and I hope you have a fantastic new year!

Great review & an amazing figure set . Received mine the other day and im very impressed, i think the can on the back of Mutt's belt is supposed to be CS spray 👍

Yeah - CS spray makes sense and I should’ve known that really. Sometimes, in the heat of recording, I just blank on obvious things LOL 😂 Part of the charm, I suppose… Thanks for watching and commenting - appreciate ya 🤘🏻

Am really liking the good boy Junkyard head more than I thought I would. A great overall set.

Hi there! Thanks for commenting 😀 The set is great fun, I’m really into it. The head swap for Junkyard was an excellent choice by the Classified team for sure - love the different possibilities it opens up.

Great Review Chris. This guy was a must have as a child since I was a dog lover! Looks great.. the lack of night stick loop is the only bummer.. just like Shockwave! Happy Holidays to you & the family! Have fun with the kids!

I can't wait to get him!!! He was one of the first joes I remember getting as a kid. I'm with you I much rather the plastic free packaging. They should have kept everything with them but put a window to see the figure.

@MoDXtraGC

7 ай бұрын

Yeah - something a bit more subtle and interesting would have been nice. I suspect it was an efficiency decision - just go back to something like the old approach cause they've still got the set up to do that etc

Oh wow You already own Mutt and Junkyard that's sooo freaking cool. I can't wait to add them to my collection ,I've preordered them when they went up for preorder. Sucks that both Shockwave and now Mutt didn't come with a loop on their belts to hoslter their Batons maybe a tiny screw eye will work as a solution ?

It's interesting that the helmet has holes on either side for the old school visor. I think it will be the same helmet that retro Duke will come with and probably Starduster in the future.

Nice review! It looks like a fun set. I just wish that they had included his Mac-10 sub machine gun from the original release instead of the M-16. Not to worry though, off to Etsy for one. 😂

@MoDXtraGC

Funny - I like the big AR, but mostly because I'm re-purposing it over to Stalker (who I think looks better with the rifle, 'Nam Vet style). I don't think we've had a Mac-10 at all up to this point, have we? Like you say - off to Etsy. I hear Gridiron Studios does good stuff too :)

Was my favourite figure in the original series. This set looks great.

He's a banger for sure!

Well I bought these, they are OK, not perfect but OK. The dog has some missing paint and some pretty loose joints overall and his back knees are really tight I had to steam them to free them they were not just tight they were bonded together (timber had the same issue on that joint). Mutt's OK his helmet is a bit to spongy and he could do with an alternative head due to the silly expression. I had to make a couple of small "improvements" to make them useful a strap for the rifle and Nightstick after that they were decent enough. I do think Mutt is a slightly weird shade of green and that Junkyard's carry strap is a bit fragile feeling. I'll never use those alternative hands though they are to hard to swap. I do wish they'd put a loop on the dog collar though to use to secure the dog into a vehicle or add a lead. I think perhaps Junkyard could have down with a Muzzle too. Nice enough set though... No as good as Crocmaster and Fionna though not any worse than Timber & Snake Eyes either.

Mutt's growling face is to point out that he's meaner than Junkyard. That's why he comes with a "muzzle" and Junkyard doesn't !

I was never a fan of Mutt and Junkyard, this was an easy pass, for me. That all changed, when I saw the prototype/ for Junkyard! What's not to love about a fully articulated Rottweiler, with a tactical vest and swappable heads!?!

I strongly suggest that you don't take things out of the packet with quite so much care free enthusiasm as Chris unless you want to break your toys. It made me cringe seeing him nearly snap the barrel of the gun off.

LMAO Yeah - its not just a joke when I refer to myself as a "man-child". This arrested development is real, and I still open toys like I was 6! ;)

Collectors are weird with the plastic packaging. On one hand in general they want to "save the environment" by not dealing with plastic because "ewwww plastiiiiiiiic" but then want the plastic for the figures. I myself cant stand the plastic packaging just because of the irritating sound it makes trying to get the figure and everything else out of it.

@MoDXtraGC

Yep - that blister pack sound is the worst! LOL 😂 we’re in agreement there. I’ve never liked blister packs since I was a kid - but it’s less about the plastic use as it is the experience. I thought the plastic free cardboard frames were nice with the artwork on the back etc. I liked sliding it out and taking it all in. 😁
