GI Joe Day 2024 Releases -- RANKED!

[@danielherrin]

Where's my Tiger Stripe Bikini Zaranna???

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

I'd buy that. Lifesize? Maybe Haslab it?

[@skullninjaraptor]

I'm amazed by Jinx. I love everything about her. Perfect headsculpt and a wonderful much needed update.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yeah, she's perfect

[@ScottnotBob]

I am in agreement with your assessment.🤣 MY Dreadnocks are as accurate to the original packaging artwork as possible. Hence it took a couple years for me to find just the right knuckle knife! Just have to make the sheath for it. 🤘Cold Slither RULES !🤘🤣 ✌️🤘🇨🇦

[@LandofMert76]

Jinx has everything id want for her. The blindfold was mandatory.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Love that figure. I was getting sick of Ninjas, but she's the ninja I had been looking for

[@demetricsmith471]

I would prefer more head sculpts in classified when there are characters that wear glasses. One head with the glasses sculpted on would be much better than the loose accessories that Classified has been producing

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yes, Hasbro, give more head!

[@ELECTRIKDOOM77]

GI JOE CLASSIFIED DREADNOK THUNDER MACHINE WITH THRASHER!!! PLEASE HASBRO!!!!!

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Oh yes. That should be their next vehicle

[@chloe59k]

Night creeper is great and as odd as that Era was there was some great designs and vehicles were great when destro had the gold head

[@chadfarr6263]

The removable shades are so good and proves i need them with Ripper and other figures,but the flawed Buzzer shades do suck...bad bad. I want all shades in future just done correctly, i cant shake or drop Ripper hard enough to remove em' granted i dont want to glue buzzers on, i might have to, but i love the option...

[@ericbieze5971]

I cannot wait until the Doc figure comes out! Thanks for the heads up about Grid Iron Studios; they have some really cool stuff.

[@billierenfro705]

I love most of these new reveals. Night Creeper is probably my least favorite but it looks good, I just don’t have any nostalgia about that figure. I will probably like it more when I see the final product. The two Dreadnoks, Torch and the other guy I can’t spell, look fantastic, as well as Doc and Jinx. I plan on getting all of those once they are available for pre-order. I agree about the whole glasses situation, I would rather them just give two head sculpts, one with glasses and one without. I know it would probably cost more but I’d be ok with it.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yeah, what can it cost? A buck or two? Add a buck to the price and give us more heads

[@dustindustindontworry-jz8dh]

we need a RETRO Jinx. For characters with glasses, we need 2 head scuplts.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

That could be good. Two head sculpts cost money though, so that's probably why they won't do it.

[@zartanicus]

I think a Welder mask and the acetylene torch with blue flame would work with Torch. Remember the 1980's Exterminator Movie?

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yeah, a cutting torch is a pretty fun weapon. He could have come with both. Maybe paint a Dreadnok symbol on the facemask. I can see Grid Iron studios doing that. I remember Exterminator! Haven't seen it since.

[@rab3137]

Agree with the glasses. I only collect what I had or liked and didn't get so tiger force and night creeper are no buys for me.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yeah, I don't need them all. I may buy several Night Creepers though. I haven't bought any Tiger Force except Outback. Loved the look of that figure

[@rab3137]

@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal I also consider space to put everything. I thought the room i had would do but space fills very quickly. I also have limits i would love a dragonfly or hiss tank but I'm not going into debt for items to dust later.

[@jonkane1312]

Gridiron makes glasses that actually stay on. Don’t know how they are the only ones that have perfected that but….

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Gridiron's stuff looks great. I haven't bought any yet, but I'm tempted

[@JonHoche]

Hey! i like the new shelves behind you :)

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Thanks! Yeah, trying to get a better display going

[@frankharris7211]

My man, great analysis as always

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Thanks!

[@liquididentity101]

Pre-reveal, I had zero interest in Gnawgahyde but was waiting on a good Torch before I bought into the non Z-fam 'Nocks. Post-reveal I'm not feeling Torch (unpopular opinion) but I am over the moon for Gnawgahyde. Stellar Jinx as expected, but the weapon is a throw away for me; it may be retro accurate, but I was hoping for something more realistic and practical. Save that weapon for a possible retro Jinx in the future.

[@LandofMert76]

Torch is my favorite bad guy character. Other than maybe grey boots, he's great. Must have

[@bryceerwin6629]

Glue. Glue will attach those glasses permanently. :P

[@LandofMert76]

Tiger force panties on tripwire is the bottom, especially after such a good normal release. I like the roadblock other than the face paint. Easily the bottom selection

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Ha! I never saw the "Panties" but now I can't unsee it

[@liedub]

Most of us OG collectors are not fans of the Joe Sub groups. I’ve never been a fan of Tiger Force, Slaughters Marauder’s etc… We also had the exact same list w/the same likes and issues. Does anyone know when the pre orders start for this?

[@chloe59k]

I'm liking all of them except the tiger force. I'd like them to stay as close as the originals as possible

[@meltedcopper9247]

Hasbro has made enough animals they should release a jungle pack of animals like back in the day there were little sets of things. Snake eyes unmasked with the pizza 🍕 comic face would be great

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Definitely want Snake Eyes unmasked

[@MOCTurtle4911]

I missed the original Roadblock so this would be okay as he has his true gun, not some railgun weird thing. But yeah Tiger Force is not my thing and don't need a second Tripwire. Agree completely on glasses. Just have them as part of the head sculpt. Before the preview I was not interested in Naugahyde. After the release I kind of agree with him at number one.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yeah, Gnawgahyde looks incredible

[@alphaeagle9615]

I don't need the Tiger Force or Python Patrol. I skip all of those. I agree with you about the glasses. They are a pain in the butt. I superglued mine to their heads. But, I don't like the tattoos on Jinx or Torch. Doc, Jinx, and Torch are must gets. Gnawgahyde is a maybe. Nightcreeper and the Tiger Force repaints are skips for me.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Superglue is a good idea. I worry I will screw it up and it'll look messy, but that might be the way to go

[@bobbywold2311]

How did they not include that pet rat for tripwire painted up like a tiger? I guess that's animal cruelty forget sending that rat in to diffuse bombs. Also wasn't the little monkey that came with Mary Ravenwood articulated Wonder why they didn't do that for Gnawgahyde's monkey. I'm excited for them all though but especially Doc, Torch, Jinx and Gnawgahyde

[@RolandofGilead541]

I’m on board with some of these, but WHERE’S ALPINE?!!!!!!!

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yeah, We need to get the duo back together. Who is Bazooka supposed to riff off of?

[@LandofMert76]

Doc is above tripwire and below roadblock. I don't like the short sleeves. Would have preferred dukes arms, rolled up sleeves. This plate carrier just looks off to me

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yeah, the sleeves would have been good. I also feel he could look slightly older. I've always pictured him being a bit older than average

[@chloe59k]

They need to find a way to make army builders in a cheaper way

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Yeah, there's not much cheap in the line

[@mathieuduval7544]

Was not able to get the og Trip Wire and it sucks that they decided to make a 2 pack with another character that i have ZERO interest of getting!! Already have that Night Creeper that came out in that Snake Eyes movie line, so not sure im gonna get him again but Jinx is a must.... and yes she's beautiful!!! 😉

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Good, I'm not only one

[@babylonsquared]

I like the TF TripWire-I found the original one to be too plain for my taste. So will be definitely buying this two pack of TF TripWire & Roadblock👍

[@elonmusksellssnakeoil1744]

You should do a video ranking your Top ___ Cobra characters.

[@Cyril29a]

Hey. Hopefully you see this because I have been racking my brain as I am certain I have seen you on TV playing supporting roles in various things. I looked you up on IMDB but I can't seem to find what I think I have seen you in. Is your name Mark Fogerty? What have I seen you in? I recognized your face and voice as soon as I started watching your channel but this is driving me nuts. Please help me identify where I have seen you act. Thanks. and keep you the great work on this channel.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Ha, I wish. I have been in very low budget movies, but that's about it. I was in Atomic Brain Invasion, but I'm pretty sure that's not what you are talking about. There are a few people I look like, so that's probably it

[@Cyril29a]

Really? Who do you look like? I have been obsessing about this for the last three days. Please help me figure this out. @@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal

[@Cyril29a]

It has been driving me crazy. Can you please tell me who the people you look like are so I can stop trying to figure it out? @@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal

[@user-fm9rv1jo8j]

Unfortunately for me, the Tiger Force OG 88 guys are gets because having a channel that reviews Joes I feel compelled to buy them - even if I "don't want them." Roadblock, though - with the .50 cal and non-deluxe Tripwire I kind of actually want.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

They just come out with so many I can't keep up. I'm going broke on these damn things

[@user-fm9rv1jo8j]

@@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal It's definitely better to not get everything, but it's definitely tough between nostalgia and great new takes.

[@mamunestor]

Funny that toy fair 1964 was on March 8th… 😂 so I dunno where the Feb 2nd date comes from.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

I had no idea it was even a thing. But I suppose if Jesus' birthday isn't really Dec 25, than Gi Joe's BDAY can be off by a week

[@mamunestor]

@@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal sorry someone pointed out to me it was Sunday March 8th and Monday March 9th 1964. 🤷‍♂️

[@mathieuduval7544]

Yeah the Dreadnoks with the removable glasses was kinda of stupid and thats on Lenny form the Gi Joe team at Hasbro, cause he's kinda of in charge of the design and he loves the Dreadnoks so that was a mistake on his part and im glad Torch will be with sculpted glasses.... i not kidding when i say it took me 5 min to loose those Buzzer glasses, thankfully the extra pair that came with Gen. Hawk was a good match!

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

The biggest one where I'm desperately trying not to lose the glasses would be "Profit Director Destro" Those things don't stay on at all, and since they are faded lavender color, not easily replaced

[@mathieuduval7544]

@@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal Cant believe no one did a Iron Grenadier custom with PD Destro.... well its been a while since i checked on google or YT so maybe someone did it in the last year.... anyway its such an easy custom to do

[@entityedgenetwork2252]

Fantastic video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Thanks!

[@LandofMert76]

Night creeper is my number two. Great later figure as a kid. Should fit in nicely. Gnagahyde would be two but my ferry custom is still better. Will just have to buy some of that gear by itself

[@LandofMert76]

I think night creeper falls into a category where he was already a "classified" style design.

[@zartanicus]

You said Buzzer looks like he's in an 80s Hair Metal Band without glasses? You know Cold Slither is coming ?

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Please. bring it on!

[@zartanicus]

@@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal Lenny has been dropping many hints on boxes. He loves Rock music and the dreadnoks. He celebrated the rock aspect of Clutch and RockNRoll. Removable glasses = costume change. Bald Zartan = wig ready. we are so lucky to have Lenny because he understands the brand properly.

[@felipecastillo9805]

Awesome videos.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

Thanks!

[@docavenger1560]

Yeah I’m passing on the Tiger force, will probably get three of the Night creepers i usually go for three of troopers 3 or 4 man squads , everybody else is a get

[@Blackbird26155]

FINALLY someone who's not throwing a fit over the bare arms & tattoos on Jinx! So many manbabies have been whining about all the tattoos and it's SUCH a petty thing!

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

I dig that tattoos. She's a ninja. She'd probably have some tats

[@Blackbird26155]

@@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal Exactly! Plus I think she looks badass with the torn sleeves & the tats. But, man, some fans freak out at ANY changes the Classified line makes. They just want upscaled versions of the figures they had as a kid.

[@mws755]

Night Creeper's arms look too thin

[@willr7284]

Yes just stop with the removable glasses
