I’ve always wanted a figure of Nemesis Enforcer that did his Movie counterpart justice and we’ve finally got it. Can’t wait to get him.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

He definitely looks capable of lifting up a HAVOC and ripping the interior!

Nemesis Immortal looks sick! The one thing that's kind of throwing me off a little is those wings. Maybe it's the angle of the picture on the back of the box, but something seems a little off about them.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

I'm hoping it won't be long before we see official unboxed pics.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

SAME. He's gonna look awesome next to Serpentor!

[@lostonwallace1396]

I got a Stinger from Amazon. I don't mind things like Cobra-La, and can't be offended by their existence. If I don't want something, I just don't buy something. Simple as that. No drama. No fuss. No mess. Fans just need to chill and get real about things. Buy what you like, and don't hate others for buying things that you aren't into. There's no sense in all the vitriol silliness. For me, Cobra-La Immortal seems fine and dandy. I hope I can get one, but if I can't find one, I won't sweat it. He's not a character I care too much about one way or the other. The Stinger was a MUST HAVE though. No question about it. It just looks so cool! Hasbro's still killing it, designing JOE stuff for all the different schools of Joe fandom, and I love that. I really don't want to get into the Mad Marauders repainted figures, so I'm passing on them even though I think Spirit's head is better painted than his original Classified release. I dig that Navajo headband quite a bit! Not enough to shell out $55 for a 2-pack, but I do like it.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Hasbro's Joe team came out this month ready to defend their title against all challengers and made it through June as No. 1 again!

[@rendarchannel]

I heard all my life people bashing that movie and the introduction of these characters and now everybody is wetting themselves over this new action figure. I always loved that movie when I was a kid.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Thanks. I saw them on the figure then got thrown off looking at the back packaging!

[@christophermoody6840]

The version of Sgt Slaughtet that they released already is the version from the Tripple T tank. The vintage OG version had USA written across his belly. That version was a mail away.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Thanks! I thought there was another version and of course, couldn't pull it up fast enough.

[@ericerler8277]

Anything cobra la man. I'm so down for it. Just bring it

[@Kuroketsu]

That previous Sgt Slaughter figure is the whole reason I'm buying Classified. Caught him at Ollie's and couldn't resist for $13. After I got him out and fiddled with him he's occupied a permanent place across from my computer pointing at me and calling me a maggot. And once I saw how great that figure was, it was off to the races. Been having to find ways to generate extra income so I can catch up with all the stuff I missed from 2020-2023

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Yeah, he's absolutely a gateway figure in this line! How many are you still missing.

[@Kuroketsu]

Finally snagged a Major Bludd at a decent price earlier today, so aside from wanted duplicates I'm just missing Retro Snake Eyes out of the ones I want. Not looking forward to eating that late tax on Dragonflies coming up. That really hurt with the HISS last year

[@edeff1119]

I'd love to see Cobra La scientist Cobra Commander. He was a scientist while he lived with Cobra La. Think that would be a major hit with the fan base.

I could definitely see that as a possibility.

I absolutely LOVE Spirit (only Joe that I bought 2 of) so I might just pick this version up.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

He's a great figure!

[@darthtrajk666]

Great review. Hope you are right about adding more stuff from Cobra La that has not been done before.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Thanks! I'd love to see what they could come up with for Cobra La!

[@ryandaly01]

I swear the classic Sgt. Slaughter shelf warmed at my nearest GameStop for almost a year. Surprised he's sold out everywhere now. I actually like the colors themselves for the Marauders, I just wish they employed an actual camouflage pattern. I always thought the broad stripes/sections on the figures looked dumb, but they're better than Python Patrol in my eyes.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

He was everywhere! It's funny how that works out, isn't it? Maybe with camo they would look better? I could see that.

[@marcusgreene8434]

[@SuperAz1981]

I'm willing to bet they make a retro Sgt Slaughter

[@LylesFigureFiles]

What would retro Sarge look like?

[@liquididentity101]

I slept on the Sgt. Slaughter fig because I came into the Classified game later on. When I saw the Marauders Sarge, I decided I'd jump on the original Sarge instead. I paid third party price for it, and its not quite worth it, but he sure looks boss on the shelf with the rest of the Joe crew. No interest for Nemesis here but I hope it's stellar for all the Cobra-La fans.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Ollie's had him for $10 and I didn't regret paying $22 for him at all. Such a fun figure!

[@shawnrich1230]

Wonder when they're going to do Pythona and Golobulus and Sgt Slaughter's Renegades

Nice! Seems like this is more of a fan favorite than I thought ;-)

[@aznsketcher]

9:42 *surprise SurPrise SURPRISE!* ...... "Nemesis Enforcer! dispose of them..." .....I did not pick up the floppies for Cobra Commander, but def going to get the trade when it comes out in a few months🔥👍 14:08 the artist is ever fire JOHN GIANG. love his style of art. he *KILLED IT* on this box art. I have BarBQ box and he did the art on that box also... 15:38 how freaking cool would it be if they designed those swords he has to be able to pop them into his forearms and have the swords double as his SPIKES like the cartoon? I found 10 of Sgt.Slaughter at Ollie's and wished I bought 2. When I got him, I bided my time when the Hasbro Joe team would reveal Nemesis and dang-nabbit, he's finally coming

[@LylesFigureFiles]

The trade will be a fun and quick read for you. It's hard to have any patience with it! Ah. I did like his art for Barbecue. Thanks for that info! It seems like that's what they did. They're attached to his forearms on the figure. I panicked when I saw the back image. Nice that you were able to grab Sarge at Ollie's!

[@caseysmith3329]

I am so excited for Nemesis Immortal to put him against Sgt.Slaughter. Slaughter will get beat down this time. 😮

[@LylesFigureFiles]

That's gonna be a fun rematch!

[@JamilynParks]

But Jeff, what do you think about the Marauders' colors? 😄 I plan to get these guys, but I'm gonna carefully play the waiting game. Gotta love that Back To The Future pose with The Stinger. I just hope they reverse the smoke and fire on those Scrap Iron effects in the actual production copies. I did get one from Pulse. Nemesis Immortal looks AWESOME! He does have the forearm blades. Check those inbox shots. I wouldn't mind other Cobra-La denizens. I never really liked the Cobra Commander v4 figure, but a Classified figure of his similar Cobra-La outfit from the Skybound comic could be cool. By the way, Titan Toyz has the original Sarge for $38.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Man, I'm becoming one of those KZbinrs, aren't I? Constantly harping on things I find goofy LOL The BTF homage was so clever I missed it until y'all started pointing it out for me. It's funny. I saw them on the figure and then got nervous with the back package artwork. Me neither. That comic had me thinking that wouldn't be a terrible outfit in CS.

[@JamilynParks]

@@LylesFigureFilesNah, you're good. You have just made it very clear that you absolutely hate that color palette 😄

[@joshb.8217]

I wonder if that "once a man" Cobra Commander will come with the Clam shell/Venus fly trap thing on the back of Nemesis Imortal box.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

That would be really cool!

[@FreedomCompatriots]

I wonder if this is going to be hard to find? I hope they make the Pythona figure. Emily said a few years ago she wanted to see Pythona made so that'd be great! Hopefully these amped up Cobra LA figures won't be difficult to find exclusives.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

I remember her saying that on one of those livestreams! With this kind of effort for Nemesis Immortal, I'm assuming they want as many folks as possible to be able to get them.

[@lol_cow]

Big Bad Toy store has the stinger

[@SuperAz1981]

I would only buy a Golobulas if he comes with that flight pod so he has stability instead of that snake tail

It makes you wonder how Gi joe team will do Gelobulous. He will probably would come with a bende wire tail and a solid plastic one, maybe.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Maybe segmented articulation? A bendy wire tail might be hard to get him to stay in poses.

[@I_am_Fred-788]

Damn, Enforcer is everything I thought he would be, I am thinking he'll go for about $41.99 because he's a deluxe figure. However, he'll be exclusive to SDCC and could be $54.99 or more? Thoughts anybody?

[@LylesFigureFiles]

I think Raptor is the SDCC exclusive while NE is coming another route. I'm hoping he isn't more than $45 even with his size.

[@TheDuke013]

You know the neon green retro nemesis will be coming, hopefully it won't be an exclusive.

[@LylesFigureFiles]

Neon green retro?

[@Lazrael32]

I'm skipping the marauders. unless they go on super clearance like BBQ did. Nemesis looked pretty solid though. and of course i orderd the stinger. because i have no self control when things are that awesome. I always enjoyed Cobra-la as a guest villain. even if they are a bit silly they were a lot of fun!

Oh yeah. I had to grab the Stinger right away! Such a cool addition to the Cobra vehicle ranks without looking like they just stole the Vamp.

[@BladeStar-uq6xe]

I'm really not familiar with this character, but he looks Bada$$! I can easily see him taking over Cobra from the incompetent, cowardly Cobra Commander. So of course I will be looking out for him, and finding out who he is. Actually, I have my cobbled together Sgt. Nick Fury Jr 'New Howling Commando's' taking on Cobra as I have Kitbashed a General Thunderbolt Ross and given him command of the Joe Team, which means 'Hulk Hounding'! LOL. Poor Joes are getting battered! Using the generic Joe's and alternate Figures to make my Fury Team. Roadblock with the actual mini-gun became Blockade. The 2 pack, the guy became 'Sky High'. Movie Storm Shadow became Shinobi. Generic soldier with the big machine gun, became Rattlesnake. etc. A couple of Valaverse thrown in too. Easy to build 2 Elite Military Units. Even throw in a headswapped Black Widow as we know there's a whole lot of them running around unemployed now. LOL
