Please check out the Vamp review if you want to see how it compares. GI Joe Classified Clutch & Vamp Review kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpe2loijjq2Gqpo

[@George-de6hd]

Did you try putting that back plate with the figure pegs on the vamp ……lol that shit don’t fit the gas can box makes it impossible……fucking Hasbro …..I wanted that on the vamp where it actually makes sense not the stinger

[@studioshadowcross]

The Stinger and the Vamp look like the same vehicle. I think Destro has been selling to both sides! 😆

[@FantasyDisruption]

😅😅😅

[@randomposter5665]

Just like Henry Ford

[@rodneysessoms8804]

Yes Destro will sell to anyone. Only loyal to himself and his bank account

[@RGRIII]

Dude, you were giving me anxiety with that piece, I don't have one but I was like it goes right there man.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

The grill bar?

[@RGRIII]

@@Apunkwithtoys YES..LOL

[@walterwright8454]

Just got mine on Saturday! Love it!! The figure has an extra "loop" on the back of his belt. Could it be for a suppressor that isn't included?

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Yes it’s for the flashlight that goes on the AK.

[@walterwright8454]

@@Apunkwithtoys Got it!

[@ICECREAMAN1701]

I've had mine on order for over almost two months!!

[@Lowlight23]

I kind of wish the windows on the doors were open like the 3.75 scale Stingers. Yeah the driver/passenger are more exposed, but it’s more like the classic toys. Plus with the closed windows, I can’t even see the figures inside. 🤷‍♂️

[@Orcicorn]

Would love to see the Stinger with some of the GridIron Studios vamp upgrades installed. In theory should fit and work

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Actual Stinger upgrades from Gridiron are coming

[@scottyphillips7799]

@@Apunkwithtoysthat’s what I’m holding out for. Also AliExpress has tons of 1/12th and 1/10th scale off road accessories. Just a thought.

[@funken079]

That figure step on the back is better suited for the Vamp, cause as you pointed out they would meet their end on the Stinger when the rockets fire. Good review Lawrence.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

This is what they need to include in accessory packs, something like this that would attach to the Vamp.

[@guccinaenaebaby2928]

Really like this, a big reason is it’s the only vehicle that’s been easy to get. Just wish they would’ve flipped the blast effects paint but I know that’s a lot for them 😅

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Yeah the blast effects, can’t really defend that.

[@gunbunnycustoms4302]

Great video! I was really looking forward to this vehicle as it was a childhood favorite, but I’m honestly disappointed with it. I really like the vamp but this has some big issues. The lack of a hand rail in the back like the original is the biggest. What are the supposed to hang on to. Second is the inclosed windows. Really destroys the overall visual profile of the original version and blocks from taking pics of the driver from the side. I’ll definitely be opening those windows up and adding the handrail like my dreadnok custom version.

[@adrionjones]

Great video, dude. Appreciate the full breakdown.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Thank you

[@markd9803]

I’m just glad that they finally explained how to put the helmet on properly. I’ve been putting them on upside down this whole time and it just wouldn’t stay on.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Many companies do stuff like this.

[@cookingwitherik101]

Great review. I can see what you mean now about not having room for vehicles. The tiger paw is definitely bulky.

[@christopherduran5121]

Can the doors be removed? Great review!

[@frankschuler2867]

Thanks for the review! I like the missiles and the rear step...wish the VAMP had the step. I kinda FOMO ordered this, lol. It just showed up today, but I haven't opened it yet. I really like the VAMP, but since I already have the Ferret and Trouble Bubble (and will get the upcoming CLAW), I didn't think I really needed any more Cobra vehicles. My display space is pretty limited, so, I can't get too deep into larger vehicles without doing some more rearranging around here. What was I thinking, lol. On the bright side, at least I have one in case I do decide to move some stuff around. Or, I'll have a chance to help out a fellow collector who missed out and doesn't want to pay crazy aftermarket. Decisions...

[@dgray3771]

I get the ramp makes little sense, but you could use it for 2 cobra troopers to be loading the rockets. However I would suspect "in universe that is" that these rockets get loaded with a crane. But couldn't you swap the machine guns from a Vamp to the Stinger, that way you got 1 with a guy manning it.

[@bostontoys]

Good review. I had to go buy one after.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Nice. I provided links in the description of you don’t know where to get one.

[@frankdoomonyoo]

Great review. I cant wait for this to arrive. Now my HMS has a vehicle. Cheers!🤘🧙‍♂🍻

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Yeah this will probably help sales on the HMS.

[@Punisher_bill]

Great Review!!!! You really covered all there is , thank you … where’s Roman …. Your pal Bill

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Thank you

[@Buff88]

I just got one. Only thing that bothers me is the front bumper piece does not stay on good. Any hacks or glue it?

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Only sticky tack, but you’re right, that thing is not secure at all.

[@Buff88]

@@Apunkwithtoys Used the sticky tack. Works great. Thanks

[@Apunkwithtoys]

@Buff88 that shit is our best friend as collectors.

[@lunchboxkilla8052]

Mine are on the way from BBTs and sgt. slaughter mm from Hasbro. Wonder which one will get here first?

[@xxjennajamesxy]

Great job.

[@martinpoirier1254]

Seing you attaching the SMS to the Stinger makes me want even more the Canadian exclusive M.S.V. Combat set (Black Vamp & Black SMS)

[@Hurricanelive]

WOW It's HUGE! And people still want a Whale, Hydrofoil, Night Raven... and HQ, TD and Flagg. If they made the pogo/buzzboar two pack people would buy it, and they'd still get their panties bunched if it were also an exclusive.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

😂

[@rtd1409]

I went to get Gnawgahyde based on your review I watched on him last night. I get to Gamestop and this set was just about to get put on the shelf and I grabbed it without question!

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Nice, it’s a pretty good figure

[@fightincodenames481]

Awesome Review Punk.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Thank you

[@alexalexandre1574]

It looks to me the driver is more a Trooper than an Officer. That guy need to be promoted.

[@johnreeder5286]

I think they forgot a extra head, so you can have a black driver or a white driver, like they did in other vehicles some reason they left the other extra head out, i wonder why they didn't give you a choice?

[@AlanDavidDoane]

Because the driver is black. Die mad about it.

[@Vexxed_]

Someone had the dropsies...lol. clumsy day.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Every video 😂

[@ICECREAMAN1701]

Can you please measure how tall the vehicle it is with the missile rack installed?

Maybe pulse will ship some to the rest of us sometime soon

Great review. 👍😎

Thank you

[@CocoasmoothTheCasualColl-yo8bc]

Man Amazon is taking too long to send me one

[@Astro319]

my Amazon tells me not till Sept 7th or 9th or something right now 🤷‍♂️

[@CocoasmoothTheCasualColl-yo8bc]

@@Astro319 same lol. That's way too long lol

[@liquididentity101]

I still maintain the Vamp missed a lot of easy opportunities to make it better. Stinger is no different. Those rocket effects are offensive. Just lazy. The missile rack barely fitting on the peg. Those side pegs being almost useless. Lack of paint app detail. Still wheels that dont turn. Classified is not built for play like the old toys were. I'm going to have to put some washes on those doors because that bland grey with no paint just looks cheap.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

The blast effects and the peg I will agree with you. Not giving wheels that is no issue for me as that would just lead to more tooling and higher price point.

[@FantasyDisruption]

I didn't know they already shipped. Let me check my account

[@TheRealGrievance]

🤟😎👍

[@jeru13]

Just take the tires off the rim and put them the right way...not hard

[@Apunkwithtoys]

I’m not sure what you’re talking about, they’re all the same direction now.

[@AlanDavidDoane]

@@Apunkwithtoys Which means you should reverse the direction of two of them, I believe. My VAMP came with 3 one way and 1 going the other way. I don't care enough to "fix it," though.

[@clintjorgenson5261]

I still think Classified will get to 300 figures.

[@Apunkwithtoys]

Easily

[@aliteralchad7128]

How drunk do you get before recording these?

[@aliteralchad7128]

I dislike the figure enough to almost wish they didn’t include it. How hard would it be to include a modern and retro head especially because in my head cannon cobra does not allow blacks to be officers. 😂 just kidding
