GI Joe Classified Series Dragonfly XH-1 & Wild Bill Needless Unboxing

[@kentomlin159]

Nice review! My Dragonfly is coming tomorrow. Can’t wait!

[@NeedlessThings]

Thank you! 🤘🤘

[@wreckship_85]

I always love seeing your reviews bc you intentionally keep your reaction genuine and frankly a bit more child-like in the sense that there’s always a good chance you hear a “WHOA!”, “THATS COOL!”, “AWESOME!”, etc throughout it.

[@NeedlessThings]

I can't imagine watching a dry, clinical toy review. Do those even exist?

[@wreckship_85]

@@NeedlessThings maybe that can be my niche market. Just review everything like Ben Stein 😂

[@farfignewton8607]

Great review! Just a small tip, I had to pop the control stick out and put the grip part in his hand then pop it back in. It’s a ball joint and just pops right out and back in no problem. That’s the easiest way I’ve found to get him to hold it so far. Love my dragonfly! They did a good job on it!

[@NeedlessThings]

Great tip about the control stick! I never would have thought of that.

Good exhaustive review of an awesome piece of modern toy history! The best part of it is your childlike excitement and pleasant surprise at the many cool features this thing has. I'm a 3.75" o-ring guy so 6-inch isn't my thing, but that DF is amazing. I love the black details on it, the pops of white, yellow, and the overall green. The loadout is impressive, blast effects are cool and the opening panels (which are signature GI Joe features) reveal some realistic lookin details. My favorite feature is the cockpit - it lights up, has 2 working 4-point harnesses and has a movable yoke and levers. Very cool toy that I wish Hasbro would replicate with all those same updates and added features for a 3.75" Dragonfly.

[@NeedlessThings]

I'd unload my entire Classified collection if Hasbro would commit to a new GI Joe o-ring line of figures and vehicles with the aesthetics of Delta-17 and Skeletron's stuff in mind.

[@humble1ne]

@NeedlessThings 💯! Delta17 and Skeletron are absolutely killin it! These are my favorite new o-ring figure lines to date. Just imagine the Roboskull MKII and Delta's Hind when they release!

[@NeedlessThings]

Those ROBOSKULLs could start shipping before the end of the year - I can't wait! Another HUGE review!

[@cyriljackal]

Big up for noticing Rat Fink homage stickers.

[@NeedlessThings]

I want to use them so badly.

[@Fedpool]

excellent review, i am a cobra person myself, but that dragonfly is iconic. well done.

[@NeedlessThings]

🤘🤘

Great review, and I'm glad you included Wild Bill. Like you said, he *is* the Dragonfly. My parents knocked it out of the park when they made Wild Bill and the Dragonfly my first Joes. I was, like you, a big fan of cowboys and helicopters, so it was a match made in toy heaven. This one looks like it might have a few small issues (canopy, stickers, and lack of wing lights) that are disappointing for a premium product but overall, pretty fun. Can't wait to open mine up!

[@NeedlessThings]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@palpatine1975]

An absolute stunning piece and definitely a must have. Great review Dave! 👍

[@Roadpigjohn]

Well, I watched the full long review... Looks great. I got mine 2 days ago man... No unboxing yet for me since I still to do so for the previous haslabs after I finish adding more shelves in my garage. 😀☕✌️💡

[@NeedlessThings]

I just had to compress some 25th Anniversary stuff to make room.

[@rehor520]

I love mine! I do have issues, my stand pops out from the back, so I worry about the full weight of the fly on it. So I display it without it. And my wild bill is really loose in the ab crunch and legs.

[@NeedlessThings]

I wish they could clamp down on those quality variances.

[@allangrant1326]

Would’ve been cooler if the missiles had magnetic attachments

[@NeedlessThings]

Agreed. Mass market toy manufacturers seem to avoid magnets. There has to be a reason.

[@kureed79]

Your intro picture reminds me of Desert Strike.

[@NeedlessThings]

Oh, wow! I had forgotten all about the Strike games. Those games ruled!

[@RoninX33]

The front window is nerve wreaking. My copy had a tiny piece of plastic left from the sprue.

[@NeedlessThings]

I am never touching those windows again. 😂

[@aliasangelalias]

Question, once you click snapped all the pieces together for the DragonFly, is it at all possible to remove those pieces so that you can put it back into box for storage? or for moving reason? Because I remember Lenny said it "Can" be removable. Now I'm confused. :/

[@NeedlessThings]

I addressed that in the review. 👍

[@tomhenry9977]

Too big, need FANG

[@NeedlessThings]

😂 SOON! (surely...)
