G.I.Joe Snake Eyes Hasbro Pulse Exclusive Deluxe Classified Series Action Figure Review

I've been waiting for a long long time for a 1:12 scale G.I.Joe line and while I may have my gripes about Hasbro's reveals at Toy Fair, Snake Eyes is just pure awesome. All the right beats, amazing articulation and presence, armed to the gills. I have a few personal preference nitpicks but overall this figure is going to be hard to beat. And more important, makes me look forwards to the other characters on the way. YO JOE!

That torso is a game changer!!! No excuses for single ab crunches from this point from Hasbro.

[@jjboi6008]

No excuse for repetitive sentences either

[@bobigghhb3]

Got mine yesterday. This thing was put together beautifully.

[@TheFwoosh]

I love Snake Eyes, but I love an awesomely engineered figure almost just as much.

And how much $$

Me either but ima start collecting it

I'm gonna buy him to make an army for marvel legends

[@goldenboy0987]

lol same but ima start watching the movies to understand

[@richardwingo3031]

Dev team: How much articulation do you want Snake Eyes to have? Hasbro: Yes

[@Ebuka.MP4]

Hasbro is a toe joint and a wrist swivle-hindge-swivle away from having import level articulation.

[@NoahR_]

I think they're trying those wrist joints out with Marvel Legends. I wanna say the Punisher thats coming with a bike is using them.

[@diegolaradiaz8948]

Get rid of that useless ab crunch abd use a diaphragm crunch then we're talking

[@Cable0828]

I say something like the legends retro 2020 spiderman torso piece would've been great

[@SeanSolo8]

I hope they sell these like the black series, I’d love to buy one for my buddy for 19.99. Thanks for another awesome review! 👊

[@TheFwoosh]

Rumor is that Snake Eyes will be in the main line, like Black Series.

[@wolfftaco9160]

Good luck getting this for 19.99

[@missyboswell5620]

Found him an Scarlett at my local comic shop but his guns were different

[@fununclenerfs]

I wish that every release in this GI Joe Classified Series was given this "Deluxe" treatment. Would definitely enjoy a Cobra Commander in this packaging

[@classicactionfigures3454]

Zartan Deluxe figure (w' Chameleon) is a must !

[@toren2099]

You can tell this is the gi joe character hasbro cares about the most

[@k.bermejo7334]

Snake Eyes has been one of my all-time favorite characters since childhood, and I find it quite unfortunate that the G.I. Joe franchise as a whole has been very dormant lately, almost extinct, so when I first knew of this figure; I was very excited. Man this figure is incredible! It's got basically everything you would want from a figure, great paint apps, sculpt, accesories, and articulation; much like an import collectible! This figure is truly badass just like the silent commando-ninja its based off of, and I'm glad the G.I. Joe franchise in terms of collectibles is now back on the map by means of a 6" figure line just like Hasbro's own Marvel Legends and Star Wars Black series. Great review!

[@k.bermejo7334]

@@Hard70 Sorry for the late reply, KZbin didn't give me a notification for this; but I honestly don't know how he would fit in the Marvel universe side of things lol. I couldn't find any image on the internet where he's sharing a panel with Marvel characters at all though, I just know Marvel publishes G.I. Joe comics. I don't know, try having him in a duel with Udon Taskmaster though if you have him, that'd be pretty cool as they both have that ninja-commando assasin look and skillset. 👌

[@MegaSheen15]

I wasn’t going to get this, but you’ve changed my mind.

[@DavidSmith-vw5eg]

it's sold out in most places I believe

[@MegaSheen15]

David Smith I’ll get it on eBay

[@hendrikschluter959]

haha same

[@divinemirandq5207]

It's so beautiful. I am at a loss for words. This is one of the best 6-inch figure I have ever seen. Great job, Hasbro.

[@reynardyonatan5521]

The articulation segment had me like, oh my god,oh my god, i'm losin it, then drop down leg god damn i lose my mind.

[@TheFwoosh]

Oh man, I could barely contain myself.

[@snowball3753]

I’ve wanted 6” Joes since I was a kid during the G.I. Joe run in the 80s, and I bought whatever Hasbro Pulse offered. The Snake Eyes is amazing!!! Looking forward for the next few waves!

[@darthvestius7771]

On order from HasbroPulse. They messaged and said its acomin' . Be still my beating ❤ ! Great review. Stay safe to you and yours.

[@karabinas]

Are they shipping early? I thought 7-1-20

[@CobraSaboteur]

@karabinas If your ordered when it went live ASAP, then they shipped out a few almost right away. If you ordered within the first 24-36 hours, then they shipped them out this week. If you ordered after that, then they are shipping them on 7/1 per their site.

[@SmileyFaceGuy68]

@@CobraSaboteur I forgot, when did this go live? I ordered on the afternoon of the 22nd of February and it says 7/1 for me. That's a bummer if true cause I was not on the fence of getting this at all. If COVID-19 was also a complication then I guess it's understandable. Still a bummer, but hey there are more things to be concerned about!

[@smallvillefan72]

Perfectly describes my art career: “This is almost framable” 🤣

[@themaqueovelic2195]

Still worthy of the frige tho

[@nps1016]

It’s an awesome figure, I already put my pre-order in. Always a big fan of Snake Eyes since I was a kid, it be honor to add him to my shelf.

[@msanseverino78]

I can’t wait till mine comes I also pre ordered the other figures as well.

[@joshua3732]

This figure is outstanding. Everything about it is great. I'm so excited about this line. I have preordered all of them.

[@jessegonzalez6982]

Hey Robo just got my Snake eyes and it’s awesome. When I saw your review I knew I had to have it. You do an awesome job at reviewing figures keep up the awesome work power to you

[@thornprime]

Thanks for the review, you covered things other reviewers don't or didn't think to do.

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

Awesome figure and an awesome review. Thank you Mr Robo sir.

[@shabbacabba]

OH man, I had tons of GI Joe figures growing up and I didn't even know this line was a thing until I saw this video! This is like a dream come true

[@bloodbeastseb]

I always get so exited when I see you uploaded a new video

[@classicactionfigures3454]

This is an amazing looking figure. I really don't understand the hate for this line. The newly released pics of Destro also look great. I still haven't received my Snake Eyes, but I already pre-ordered Destro too. Thanks for the great review !

[@thomasmurphy3591]

If this is an indication of whrre the line is going I'm impressed. A Ram cycle would be awesome in this scale.

[@pe1156]

Not even that into G.I Joe but SE looks so damn good and after seeing you review how good he is ( articulation , the effort put into this figure ). I have pre-ordered him !! And actually excited lol. Useful review thanks !!

[@wilfredodiaz8743]

God i want to get this figure.... Soooo freaking cool looking!!! Thanks for the great review and getting me and others jealous

Man i am super excited about this series im a huge Gi joe fan from the 80's and cant wait

[@tyreejackson2611]

Wow that's an incredibly detailed. I hope Hasbro would put that much detail in their Marvel Legends figures.

[@1perezrene]

Can't wait to get mine. Awesome 👍 review

[@askmeaboutsugma]

GI Joe peaked before I was born so I was never much into it but I love this figure. I probably won't buy many if any at all of the figures but I have to say, I'd bet this line will be great for collectors. Especially out-of-box collectors. For example, the butterfly joints will be excellent for posing with guns. This figure has excellent range, whereas most of the characters in the Black Series line who could really benefit from good butterfly joints either don't have them or the joints are severely obscured by armor or clothing. It's kind of sad and a lot of wasted potential in my opinion. I don't know if Snake Eyes' swords are meant to be completely black so if I'm canonically wrong in saying this, as I am a toy collector, not a GI Joe fan/collector, but I wish Hasbro would have painted the blades on his bladed weapons with the silver on the figure.

[@bz4701]

Super cool, awesome articulation!

[@hitfigures2759]

Just checked my email, and I'm getting mine in July... Guess I get to enjoy this dude vicariously till then. Thanks for the great review!

i completely missed it in my review and realized it the day after, the surpressor goes on the uzi as well! such a great figure and great review as always Robo!

[@TheFwoosh]

Well I'll be damned, it does! Thanks for that!

Mine came yesterday and in my opinion it blows away import figures even! Best thing Hasbro has turned out their best figure ever 🤯

Omg! What an incredible figure! Will be on my top 10 of 2020 figs.

Beautiful review! You and TMan978 can really pose figures.

[@yokaicustoms]

This looks so awesome. Can't wait for the retail release!

[@brucelaborin2124]

I have been enjoying mine for weeks, and finally could pull myself away to check reviews about them again. I know people are complaining about these figures and the aesthetics, but I love them. I bought a 1/12 scale remote control military style jeep from Amazon.com for my Joes, and a Safari brand Timber Wolf figurine that's in scale with Snake Eyes! I'm having a blast with these and I can't wait now for the Baroness with Motorcycle and Beachhead! I'm going batshit nuts!!!

[@JD_Colton]

Excellent review!

[@nealmcdaniel7876]

That's sharp design on the box. It's not a true emboss (a traditional die is needed for that) but digital printing process of polymer powder that when heated, rises up for a 3D, glossy shine. It can even be tinted for added effect - cool stuff. As always, many thanks for the fun reviews!

[@77druid]

exactly what I wanted Sigma6 to be, when it came out. excited for this line, and fingers crossed we get a 4in line too

[@wazmanwaring]

im so glad you took the grenade strap off in those pics at the end

[@TheFwoosh]

It's okay for FULL GEAR SNAKE but it's a little too bulky for my taste, especially when messing around with the figure.

[@jadenkumar]

I can’t wait to get mine

[@bobachuck7280]

My wishlist for wave 2 is Stormshadow (deluxe like Snake Eyes), Cobra Commander, Baroness, Shipwreck, and Gung-Ho! 🤞🤞

[@youcantalwaysgetwhatyouwan8419]

Was on the fence between this and the bare bones retail release. But now, screw it, I’ll get both. Amazing figure

[@lunchboxandthemastersofthe5982]

I never was a GI Joe guy but this Snake Eyes is kinda bringing me around. This

Great vid/review, robo!!!! Can’t wait til I get this....all the way in July!!! Sigh....

[@andrewgaughen9310]

DAMN YOU, Robo! Now I want THIS version!

[@belislemathieu2061]

This figure is a dream come true!!

[@JERKMONGER]

Great review

[@Cobralalalala]

The embossing on the box is gorgeous!!! It almost makes me wish I'd paid the money for this one. I'm fine waiting for the regular Snake Eyes though, so it's ok. I'm still unsure on the line as a whole. Snake Eyes is great, and I didn't mind Duke and Scarlett too much, but that Road Block just disappointed me so much! If I wasn't given the context for the reveal, I would have had trouble guessing it was him. Regardless of the line as a whole, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow will be mine! :)

[@Getwright-]

Thanks for showing him striped down robo! I like a stealthy sleek looking snake eyes

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, I love that there are options. That all could have been sculpted on but I'm glad they aren't.

[@mahoutsuguy863]

The writing on the side of the box and on the card stock says "Snake Eyes" btw

[@ttz4m3]

I'm from the UK and I'm a 90s kid, so I have no connection to GI JOE. Even then, this figure looks amazing and I want it.

[@dedelebon]

Nobody's perfect.

[@warpartyattheoutpost4987]

Hasbro's 1985 *Snake Eyes* and Kenner's 1979 *Boba Fett* were my favorite figures as a kid. The 6 inch scale feels like 3 3/4 inch scale to me now that I'm grown up.

[@ravenfrancis8803]

Great frickin review bro, well Said 👍🙌💪

[@mikey9906]

Man this is a really dope looking figure!

[@prophet924]

I had loads of Joes! I’m in the camp, I’ll buy all these 6” Joes. But honestly if they put out a squad or two with this same passion I’d be very happy. I want vehicles too. Bubble, Skyhawk, HISS, etc. I’m going to be happy with whatever is made because this hits the spot. Spidey, Indy, Wars, and Joes. I’m 10 again.

[@brianng3414]

Great poses! I will probably get the regular edition $40 is still steep for me even with the nice packaging. For premium figure, they should have a posable Timber with moving jaw and legs even though the weapons rack is nice. The figure is beautiful. People are asking for vehicle; and some said it is going to be hard for 6" figure at a affordable price. My idea is to do a GI Joe/Transformer vehicle at $100. It will be premium and bigger. You can pair it will GI Joe 6" or play the vehicle like a mega Transformers, which will make it worth the $100 price tag. Great video!

[@bobachuck7280]

I preordered about a month ago and I got an email saying I got wait until July!! 😪 Anyway, we need a deluxe Stormshadow like this!! Great review bro! 🤘🤘

[@georgeluevano4440]

There needs to be a Storm Shadow version of this!

[@aaron10146]

I've gotta wait till the end of April for it in The UK! On the plus side I pre ordered it at half price and they seem to be sticking to that price so that makes it less painful a wait!

[@targetrender9529]

That’s the best small snake eyes figure. Hasbro did an excellent job.

[@Redbearart]

Charcoal grey is what you would call that back pack color if you were sticking with the definitions of the tactical retail company descriptions, but it also reminds me of the subdued colors of multicam black without the camouflage break up, having worked in military surplus for 10 years this figure is a double nostalgia hit for me I can’t wait for storm shadow and baroness

[@xer0vi]

Cant wait until mine comes in.

[@Vincent-396]

Thanks for the thorough review. I was not overly impressed with the six inch line. I would probably pick them up if they were a little cheaper. It’s hard to pull funds away from purchasing vintage for the new 6” line that will not work with what I already have to display. Keep up the good work.

[@CobraSaboteur]

Joe is back baby! Yo Joe!!!

[@TheFwoosh]

YO JOE!

[@deadshadow04]

I can imagine how the cobra tropps are going to look. I can already picture them using the Arch Angle sculpt for Nemesis Enforcer

[@zephalmanzar6363]

Gotta love the Thew shout out😂

[@veiledrecalcitrance4314]

Wait, it doesn’t come with other Snake eyes head sculpts? I was really hoping for the original head sculpt. I’ll have to get an aftermarket first sculpt. I also am not real keen on the other figures, but the sculpts look ok, just going to do some repainting. Can’t wait to get this, I really hope it comes before July

[@Paulnikon]

Great pictures.

[@JurassicRod]

I'm so glad he comes with proper weapons. He's probably the only one I'll get. I really don't like the nerf guns that come with the other figures in the line.
