I remember when in modern comics they changed his hair color to the Tiger Force version. The justification? He was infected by a zombie virus created by Cobra, but his immune system was so strong that it defeated the infection, leaving him just with white hairs. Kinda badass if you ask me.

[@ComicsyCafe]

what comic was this?

[@chrisdaugherty8265]

“It’s not just going to fall off” Backpack falls off. Lol Never change Robo!

[@whozyourdaddy]

Medium!!!! Robo cracks me up.

[@stevereynolds5684]

I laughed at the “I wear a medium” exchange. Caught me off guard, but highly appreciated.

[@ShrtRndKid]

Classified is really hitting it's stride. Head scuplts and details are on point. The rising prices, unfortunately are forcing me to pick and choose instead of going all in.

[@Bt3615]

A sad truth. Personally i am going to skip the regular release of Outback because i like the Tiger Force version a little more. Just two years ago i would have bought both.

[@jamesrodriguez3667]

Have always been a casual viewer of this line but man it really is super tempting to start getting a few (that Kamakura is really neat). I'm a sucker for posing options.

[@foldabotZ]

Majority of my (non-robot) collection consist of 3.75" Marvel Universe and G.I. Joe and I am not looking into building a separate 6-inch scale collection. I have few 6-inch Superheroes and I'll just get Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.

[@davecarolan1284]

I think part of his charm as an older fig is the connection to adult collectors. It’s a nice nod, even if unintentional, to peeps who keep carrying the toy torch.

[@Th3Treasoner]

And the rest of GI Joe is a bunch of teenagers or children?

[@davecarolan1284]

@@Th3Treasoner No, but to paraphrase McConaughey said, "We get older, they stay the same." ;)👴

[@theguardian3431]

Love how Robo goes into the minute details of the differences between the sculpts in the pants of Outback and Duke to persuade us that it's a different sculpt, but then completely missed that one is pinless and the other has pins. Love ya Uncle Robo!😅

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, I never said my rambling was intelligent!

[@jakestrong2603]

I’d love to see a classified full wave overview/ play day. Great video too robo if target was in Canada I’d try to hunt down all the target exclusives but watching others review and mess around with them will do for now😂

[@Mannie_Bothans]

This is the figure that made me start buying Classified. And Target had to cancel. God, I hope it comes back.😭

[@e1mok75]

Me to i realy loved the sculpt

[@viktorkarrillo7343]

Me too bro they canceled my order too

[@padrecocinero7700]

It looks like my local Targets might get some in a few days so you may want to check yours, too. Happy hunting.

[@J_Lee712]

Keep checking and make sure if have the target app you can add it to favorites and will know when up.again.

[@Wolfie1262]

It was Pimp Daddy Destro for me

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

I have zero clue who this guy is, which is probably blasphemy because I'm Australian, but that head sculpt is beautiful! Old Man Arrow to go with Old Man Hawkeye?

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

Puts me in mind of a buffer Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Superb looking figure. I like the look of this and the forthcoming red-headed version. I'd justify both as being father and son. The head sculpt is superb!

[@natedeland9355]

Maybe I'm weird, but I was more excited about this version of Outback than the red haired version

[@Viewmaster618]

I like the older version looking outback. A seasoned soldier he has been thru a few battles in different terrains. Hasbro pulled it off work this character & Spirit. Looking forward for the crimson Guards unboxing. I'm on the fence if to army build The vipers , the bats & now the crimson Guards is on scene. Decisions Decisions But the Vipers might be my choice since they have the 3 pack just wish that all where vipers in package & not one as a squad leader that one they should have sold separate because army building from that pack to many leaders kind it defeats the purpose of army building from that box set.

[@jeffmoeller4522]

Robo, the white spots on the back of the knee are where the pieces of the leg are separated from the sprue. Mine has them as well, but are hidden by the green paint app. So, I'd guess yours were a bit more of a rough cut from the sprue and somehow caught a bit of white paint app from being raised more than they should have been. Either that or the green paint app rubbed off due to being more raised and you're seeing base coat/primer.

[@noegarza7969]

Man you sir need to do more G.I. Joe Classified videos! I definitely enjoy all the vids but I honestly have to say G.i. Joe's are my favorite!!! I definitely enjoy the channel, thanks for what yall do!!!

[@D21BeastReviews]

If I see this in the wild, I'm going to pick him up. Excellent photos and prop construction, Robo!

[@prophet924]

I’ve got a spare on it’s way from Pulse. Hit me up on IG it’s yours.

[@ReconFigures]

When I look at that shirt, I can't help but think of a super old movie called "Sammy's Super T-Shirt." LOL

[@h.b.nielsen5619]

I've seen some people use Red Ninja's lower body for Daredevil customs, but this guy will work even better with those boots. Great video review.

[@theguardian3431]

Great pictures!

[@andrewrash1931]

Soon as you said “theirs sport teams that are Orange with Tigers” that makes me realize that makes total sense for head cannon Outback is just a Bengals fan and had a spare shirt in his rucksack😂

[@Psychof1st]

Thanks to Target dropping the ball so hard, this review is bitter sweet for me.

[@thelazerbricklego]

Awesome overview Robo Fwoosh 👍🙂😇😀

[@DavidMoore-eu3jv]

I just watch these for the intros! This guy should do a show just him playing with his toys lol!

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

It's weird, it used to be I'd see Robo review a Joe figure months before I ever get it, but now I'm the one who got this months ago. Then again, the original was a European exclusive, so I guess it makes sense. For me I don't need the other version after getting this. Not just the hair, but even the sculpt and paint of the skin looks aged. On top of the old man Rambo vibe, the semi-vibrant shirt also gives me slight Rick Flag vibes. My only problem is the looseness of the backpack and the awkwardness of the torso straps, but it's still my favorite Joe so far.

[@gerwal7002]

Thanks Robo. Great review! He’s a really cool figure.

[@TheBane2890]

Target canceled this figure on me three different times, and now I haven’t been able to reorder it! Hoping it comes back, cause otherwise he’d be the only figure I don’t have.

[@markirizarry4851]

I bought mine online on Monday 12/12/22, got it Saturday 12/17/22. Not bad, Target has it available online, not a pre-order, I just casually bought it thinking I wouldn’t see it for months. I pick and choose the ones in this line anyway. I don’t buy everything and the variants.

[@roninjimojisan2572]

Stalker was my very fist gi joe figure back in the early '80's It would mean the world to me if he could get a fwoosh review.

[@natron1973]

Awesome review! The cobra Viper three pack comes with blast effects.

[@gwenb.4179]

I got mine last September and I may say that I am so pleased by this figure and the upcoming younger Outback is an easy pass for me. GREAT REVIEW 👍

[@williamporter7596]

Great to see a new G.I.Joe video. I really like this Outback as well with his hairy arms and grey hair on top. Very expressive face too with just the right accessories. Going to be hard to find this for an affordable price down in Oz though...I will be searching for it though. Thanks for the review and looking for to more new Joe.

[@jacobarruda4019]

love the intros man

[@ComradeCole]

Target canceled my pre-order, after many emails asking me if I still wanted it. To which I said "yes!" Must have missed one and next thing I know canceled....hopefully I'll see one on the shelf or just wait for the other "younger" version.

[@Mightylilpenguin]

I clicked this solely to see that intro lol. Loved it! Love the videos fwoosh

[@prophet924]

Outback was always on my team as a kid. Beachhead, Low-light, and Outback. They were just the best of the best. I too religiously let Target know yes I want it. This figure is awesome. I want Hasbro to knuckle down and create that accessories pack. I’m it will be black and brown fists, black and brown right handed trigger finger hands with up and down hinge. Among other things. Sarge spooled me with the hand options. Tiger Force Outback, Spirit, BAT, Sarge, and Storm Shadow top five…ole Serpentor may challenge but he needs an air chariot to do so.

[@vascotoys]

Loved this figure. I have the other version pre-ordered, but I might have to get this one too.

[@tomhoover8865]

Love your channel especially the go joe classified videos they have really helped me on decisions on which ones to get first. Are you going to be making more gi joe classified videos?

[@boombox6173]

I had the 3 3/4" Outback back in the day and can't wait for the 6" classic.

[@rogerpettet5628]

I am not a GI Joe collector but seeing the photos you did damn near makes me want to start collecting them. Now how to explain that decision to the wife....

[@wu-bangya4486]

I wasn't gonna start collecting em either, but I got a few. Even a few rare ones. Great figs overall

[@samfan77]

Serpentor is the prettiest and most well done that I’ve seen in this line. I love the way Stalker looks but this is my favorite figure of the line.

[@daniellenihan9832]

Badass outside pics!!!!🙂👊🔥

[@marcusyee2211]

I was thinking about the Outback figure and how the torso could be good for a Jay Garrick Flash or Alan Scott Green Lantern custom. It is a bit buff but it works and I prefer the articulation style from the Classified Series compared to other Hasbro lines.

[@steverino6954]

Mine just showed up yesterday! I'm from Detroit, so I had to get this version. Yep, in my collection, he is a Tiger baseball fan. (I Pre-orderd the regular version too, for a custom that I am planning.)

[@kerinkellynerdcorner]

Well done brother 👊🏾🤓

[@gablefanproductions01]

Found this today, probably my favorite Classified figure to date. Shipwreck may top it when I finally get it

[@billybaloney3065]

Love that figure! The shirt has Mandy vibes to it. Also, would love a Joe play day Robo!

[@alessandrosignore7500]

I may prefer this head He just looks like the old gritty veteran, one who's been able in the game lot and knows his shit

[@scottskene8387]

I've gotten the "globe" icon on a few of my Joes. It's a graphical representation of a "404 icon not found". Best I could glean is his first icon should be level 3 Environmental Specialist. As for the sculpt, I can't be the only person who sees older Harrison Ford. The lopsided mouth, the crooked nose, the "leave me alone" scowl. I've seen a few in the wilds of Canada, keep thinking I might pick one up for a Thracken Sal-Solo custom

[@mrallmine150]

Robo knows GI Joe Classified boxes but Robo don’t know GI Joe Classified figures….lol great video as always!!!

[@Arrowdodger]

With the grey hair, it's tempting to have both this and the other Outback and treating this as a relative of the other Outback.

[@MangaMan108]

Just wanna give a heads up, this figure is now appearing at Ross stores as of January 5th 2024

[@Sweetdaddy415]

I didn't know outback was a Cincinnati Bengals fan.😂😂😂 I was able to find one at target today. Great review.

[@rhymingbecktionary]

Great video as always! One thing though, I see reviewers often say they need to oil the joints of figures, maybe you could do a short on what oil to use, how much, how to apply etc.?

[@adamsattler4230]

I told myself I would not be getting Tiger Force or Python Patrol repaints but this might be the one exception. Just because the original TF Outback is too expensive. At least I could say I own ONE.

[@julsburn_17]

Move over Beef Boss, Robo's got a new hench man. And he took him outside the house for a photoshoot. 😆😆😆

[@J_Lee712]

Mine came in but at my Aunts and will wait to get as a Christmas gift. Really dig his mug a lot. See some ideas with that. Integration idea for one "Best you can do?"

[@antonioglascoe3063]

I’ve got this figure and anytime i mess with him it feels like he’s Snake from metal gear solid. I ended up taking snake eyes shemagh and putting it on outback. It fits really well and just blends nicely with his pants. Unfortunately it covers up the tiger emblem but it is what it is.

[@K9-King]

Out of the many tiger force figures to come i like this Outback moreso than the original one that will come soon. Dig the design really, can't say the same for the backpack but still good.

[@dtorrey867]

I missed out on preorder, and I'm hoping beyond hope to find this guy in store or back online. Looks like an amazing figure. But I've got custom ideas for him.

[@Psychof1st]

I got in on the pre-order day one last year. But, I still got wrecked by Target's delay email cancellation warpath they went on last month! I hope Hasbro Pulse does another run themselves so I can maybe actually get this Outback. Hope they do all Tiger Force and Python Patrol figs once more through Pulse, as well.

Target canceled my outback order after months of delaying it. That being what it is. I hope to be able to find one. It's one of the few classified figs that would work great in the Action Force line.
