BaldyLockz Reviewz:
Modern Retroz Toy reviews and some random tech.
Collecting and reviewing new Modern takes on Retro toy lines from the 80s (and more): G.I. Joe, Masters of the Universe, Marvel Legends, etc.
I like newer tech and plan to share some of that too.

I don’t do Classified anymore but this one was hard to pass on he looks amazing great review
great info Baldy, I have had excelent service from Hasbro Pulse, with any issue from damaged boxes to a figure with 2 right arms, all taken care of with almost no question, and quick responce.
The new illustrations appear to be AI generated. No longer are they commissioned to random comic-book illustrators or other artists, this is bad. I preferred the previous packaging 100%
Damn i have the Cobra island one but i have to get this... especially since flint is my favorite next to Flint....Flint had to put BeachHead in his place...he was getting out of line a bit Lol ...but at the end of the day they were both the most present dudes in command 👌
The crowd ain't the only thing that's going bananas
Where did you order from
His baret is already on his left shoulder.
More females for sure. Not many more left from the 80s: Pythona and Blonde Covergirl from cartoon. More options from modern stories: Dawn Moreno Bombstrike, Zanya, Crimson Asp… Tgey could do more repaints like a Python Patrol Valkyrie or Crimson Valkyrie. We kind of know Heart Wrencher is coming in a Walmart two pack with Falcon. More variations like a Ninja Force Scarlett or maybe an Arctic Baroness. Oh there is the 60th anniversary Marine coming as a lady sniper. There’s Raven which many feel will be a stretch goal for the Haslab Rattler. I would like a new character if they wanted like a female Native American or a black woman Samurai with updated techno armor. Actually I want female frog ladies/divers. That could be another Baroness variant as well. I’m welcome to more. I did order Jinx and my disappointment with her articulation and not one Arashikage symbol on her will lead me to modification. That scene in Retaliation film on side of mountain is incredible. The yellow uniform look is cool too. I’m still looking forward to obtaining her.
Well, Beach was being insubordinate and needed to be put in his place soooo
Side note: I've gotten the McFarlane Batman figures. But not Batman himself. The articulation for this Batman is apropos... Because the back gets broken. It's unacceptable for all other Batmans; yeah it's the same. I misspoke. I do have McFarlane Batmans. I have unmasked Thomas Wayne. And Death Metal Batman. The best figures are the initial Harley Quinn from the 90s Cartoon❤, and Arkham Asylum Joker! I also have Joker-corrupted Nightwing and Joker from Mortal Kombat 11, which is a great starting point, just needs more paint. I'd rather it be inadequately painted than inadequately sculpted; you can always add paint!😅
I like the cover art better. The interior page doesn't make sense physically. And in wrestling, whenever that maneuver is done, it's a forward lunge. One knee touches for support. So the interior artist just didn't think it through so much. Bane's arms should be on top of Batman as the cover art suggests, if the back is to be broken.
I like the way you pronounce her name! 😎👍👍 As for the figure, I'd like her to have the long sleeves shirt and the king fu shoes as in the 80s figure instead.
I bet that comes soon on the retro card. We'll see
I cant wait to get the new one!!
You're gonna love it
I'm waiting for mine to be shipped. I ordered one from Pulse. Beach Head Was always one of My favourite Joes. I never had the OG figure but I have the 25th anniversary. I kinda wish the green Was more "mikitary olive" shade but I understand it's matching the OG look. Wouls love to see extra set of hands.
extra hands would be great
Will not pick him up, I hate Beachhead
Haha not everyone does
Oh yeah I ordered this. Just need retro Flint now.
I bet Retro Flint gets announced soon
Lucky you got 2 and mine get delayed again
Amazons distribution is all over the place
I ordered him from Amazon when he went live and mine keeps getting pushed up, pushed back, pushed up, pushed back. He’ll show up eventually, it’s just irritating.
That keeps happening with my Doc and Night Creepers. Amazons' distribution is all over the place
@@BaldyLockzall of my figs are having the same problem with Amazon.
Waiting for my preorder of him can’t wait. Love the channel!
Awesome thanks for that. He'll show up for you before you know it
I love the classic look I wish Hasbro would’ve started the whole classified line in the retro card look. Just my opinion
A lot of people feel that way. I like they have the option of a Retro line now
That’s awesome bro! Amazon canceled my preorder and it wasn’t a funding issue I paid with a gift card and they still cancelled it and refunded my account automatically oh well. I see hasbro pulse still has him in stock, hopefully they’ll last until tomorrow(payday) 😊
You should be able to get one
I made a custom … using Valaverse body.. and multiple 3rd party accessories
Thats cool @Tonys_Figs did the same thing. He has a video comparing the two: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pYqEq8-Am8-tibQ.htmlsi=wXqU0uuCL4r0RYoo
ordered mine , the first classified version didnt do it for me , now we need a new flint and falcon . law and order and big lob .
We'll get them all at some point
Fun review as always! Can't wait for my Kim Kardasikage to show up😆
Not really interested in buying these figures... But that Bane looks like something that I wouldn't be able to keep myself from fidgeting with if I saw it on a table somewhere 😂
He's pretty fun tbh
Say cheese Batman!
I remember looking for all the expanded universe figures at retail. Thrawn was definitely the best. I got all but Kyle Katarn , didn’t feel the need for it.
It was the best subline they had in POTF very creative
Reluctently watched, because , im not getting the figure set , But I should know better. BaldyLockZ reviews are a fun watch , great information, entertaining , always leave me feeling good about action figures in general. Nice job Baldy
Awesome and I feel that because I reluctantly buy McFarlane haha. Pick & choose for sure. Same with Legends. I appreciate all that and thankful you still gave it a watch.
I hate DC and I am still glad you pased on a Ferret review. Media has been flooded with fat white dudes over reviewing it. Stay clutch homey been watching, pretty cool!
Haha I love this reply. When I get to the Ferret I’ll be the only one that does something different for sure. Stay tuned
@@BaldyLockz I am available and even more comical on camera!
Can't wait to get this one! I agree, this is how you do Classified. Great review!
Thanks so much. I think most people will love this figure and few will nitpick the ab crunch like me haha
I collect McFarlane DC too, mostly the Batman figures. My current goal is getting the Titans I missed out on. I hope this set becomes available again.
They'll offer them in a pack at some point I bet
I love flint, but he kind of took that personal.
Hahaha he did right?
Love this retro card line. I wonder if way down the road if they're going to bring the older retros on the newer retro cards
Maybe? Or at least another version of them
Yo neighbor, I also collect McFarlane DC. Hope to see more reviews like this one in the future.
Awesome please share it. I would love to start including my other stuff if there’s interest.
Your reviews are the best!! Awesome!!
Dude thanks so much for that! I’m still working on a formula so that’s appreciated
Flint put Beach Head in his place because he’s kinda annoyed that Duke is 2nd in command when as a Warrant Officer he should be 2nd. Duke is a well known ass kisser & Beach Head is a well known ass kicker ;) Flint actually likes the 3rd spot rank so he can spend more time getting into Lady Jaye’s foxhole & dropping his loadout. YO JOE!
Bwahahaha!! This is now canon in my head hahaha
Flint really needed to step the F off. Beachhead had the rizz and he knew it.
Damn right he’s got rizz. Flint was being a B
I remember I bought the og Jinx in Woolworth’s in Spotsylvania Mall. I picked her out because red is my favorite color and because I had lost Scarlett and I wanted another lady Joe. A Jane? I still have her somewhere, but I’m looking forward to having the Classified version in hand on Friday!
You’ll really enjoy her. I’m gonna try to fix the an crunch on mine but other than that she looks fantastic
Zen, bro… it’s “Ah-RA-shka-gay,” it’s a hard “g”, swallow the i, and try to avoid putting too much emphasis on any syllable.
I’m trying haha one day I’ll get it
Nice job Baldy, good review!!
Thanks so much!!
Def want more females in the line, Raven, retro Vypra, Munitia, Zanya, Leila, Dr Biggles Jones, Mara, Crimson Asp, Bomptrike, Carle Doc Greer.
I agree. One every other wave would work
Amazing review in my most Anticipated shipment for today (at work of course lol).. you nail the history lessons and points. You're the best... AROUND!!
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good review bro I agree that class is and should have differences with retro I don t like the n creepers s purple, and no Cobra logo... I d want dark blue, or c red WITH a logo Voltar, Darklon, circus colours.... give us dark grey, or dark red retro can be as they were, ridiculous. the packaging it looks good to me, perhaps best ever, except... I miss the locker and accessory bag, the plastic now is super tight, to the point where I fear breaking weapons or else. I never was zealous about the window either, but, I appreciate to see torso - head the art is light years from some butchy drawings in early releases though, much better! pfff, those comic - cartoon references... just the Billy name makes me nauseous, who ever thought I d want to know about a CC son? there were about 40 characters released by that time, I want to know about those! I want Rambo - commando comics, not this soap.... I stick to the files, as long as they don t inspire from the comics - cartoons. oh yeah, we re at this point where face sculpts sell figs I don t want her red, but green camo, but even then I m tempted because she looks amazing, she even has some make up... I did nt get her in the 80s, I was more picky at that period too much joes, not enough cobras, and had enough ninjas already I think it was ok before the ferret and valkyries, military is like racing, very few women... it has to reflect life, not an agenda.... illusions, deception. I put my women in safe places, they get hurt, but don t get killed... I admit I learned a new thing with these Japanese women warriors, and I know quite a lot. aside from Pytona, which is a mysterious mystical and exotic type of woman, only Destro s faction could improve by getting a new woman no, Baroness stays with Cobra... you can never leave Cobra ever... I really appreciate the dif posing and comparisons at the end, great finish! so now you know... good show bro
Interesting perspective, you dont like the comics or cartoons, just the file cards, and of course you know the cards are based on Larry hamas bios, that he used to inform the character depictions in the comics, It kinda seams like your not that into "Gi joe" but are more a military enthusiast, thats cool, And I enjoy that perspective , but you might be in for alot of disapointment with GIjoe, As it is military ,but also has a long history of being very different to a "commando comic". IF I were you I might focus on customizing GIjoes to your liking . That would be cool to see. or Find a line that focuses more on "real life military" like ultimate soldiers or vintage 60s joes. The Classified line references heavily the Arah era of gijoe , which is less a reflection of real life military, And more of an example of an ultimate friend group wrapped in a military context. The Brand found huge success in visualy depicting both military specialty/skills, and personality and background traights, This is why we get less od green and camo uniforms/prodtctive gear, and more "costume " decisions that show individuality. While Jinx wearing bright red wouldnt make sence in a real life military op, It does alot to tell us about her background / personality and speciality. WIthout needing to even read the file card. In the Arah, and now classified context the personality depiction will often out weigh the combat reality. This is how Baldys Grandmother was able to show him that He can be proud of the strong woman that are in his family, and that he could bring there traits and values into his own moral development. The depiction of woman in gijoes military isnt so much about an agenda to get woman into combat, Its more about examples of stong moral traights that can be emulated by people regardless of physical form. The Idea is for us to be able to see the personality inside the uniforms. So we can relate to the types of people our military is made up of. IM not trying to poo poo your perspective on gijoe, Or even say my perspective is correct, Lots of ways to enjoy the Brand, But just offering some perspective I found helpfull in tempering expectations.
Man, those end poses are top notch!
Thank you!!
Great review bro, keep em coming!! ❤
trying haha
