Gi Joe Stalker Figure - First Look at the Retro Release

[@alecjones7299]

Good to have it lighter with you just for some quick heat

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Good tip 👍

[@thedarkknight803able]

I want one! 😫 YO JOE!💥😯👏🏿👏🏿😎👍🏿

[@ActionRobotPunch]

You can order them from Walmart.com. Around $13 right now. Thanks for watching.

[@tyson1fan487]

You just run them under hot water? Or soak them? I would love to see how you do it? I love that we have GI Joe's today but I would love to see a nice amount of characters that we know and love. I prefer the smaller figures but these newer ones don't fit and things like the older ones and I saw with the new hiss vehicles and the figures didn't fit very good. Do we know if more of the smaller figures are coming?

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Run them under hot water. Or fill a coffee cup and microwave till it’s too hot to touch. Look up the custom figure video I made and you can see me doing it to pull a figure apart. Not sure if more are coming but I sure hope so.

[@the_flyattractor8656]

I would be so Stoked to Buy these if they did it right and put out the OG Green 13!

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Maybe they will. I think Grunt is coming out.

[@Kanovskiy]

Hasbro was really progressing with these retro figures, some duds there (fang pilot, fortnite looking cobra soldiers and officer) but ultimately this retro Stalker, Roadblock and Scarlett represented steps forward with extra articulation and improved motion: swivel thighs, swivel upper boots and my personal favorite the improved elbow range of

[@ActionRobotPunch]

It’ll be interesting to see where they go. I’m personally excited about o-ring. To me retro seemed like a step back from some of the 25th releases. The plastic and paint in the new ones still seemed to be experimental and not fully worked out.

[@cappeca]

Why would you put Stalker in the Vamp from the side and not from the top?

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Because the doors are on the side. Army regulations 😁

[@studioshadowcross]

Are the Retro GI Joes a new toy line? I haven't seen them anywhere.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Yes, they’re a new line. Walmart exclusive. It’s been challenging to find them in stores. If you go to Walmart’s website they have some in stock right now. Hope that’s helpful.

[@studioshadowcross]

@@ActionRobotPunch Thanks for the tip! These guys weren't even on the Hasbro website (they seem to be favoring the Classified series), so I thought it was an older toy line!

[@MrChristopoop]

I just looked at Hasbro Pulse about thirty minutes ago. Grunt is sold out but retro Stalker, Lady Jaye, Cobra Officer and Soldier, Orginial uniform Cobra Commanser we’re all in stock

[@cyberfrank-bx2nv]

stalker looks good. him and the mobat were my first joe purchase in 82. I had 12 inch adventure team [my logo] when I was a kid. really did nt know I d like them enough to be hooked. then I looked at the catalog, and wanted to have the whole collection. I was saddened to see that the characters were cancelled after 2 years. it was the start of the rat race Hasbro business model. now it s unbearable hell, enhanced but the target exclusive. it drives people totally mad! it gets to people fighting for the last available figures. it s just not toys anymore, it s like trophies or something. army building like I used to do is next to impossible. it takes away my best buzz with these things, having them in ranks for review, like a real army. it s so ironic that the character who fought in Vietnam is now made in that same country... who would have though... good show!

[@jonhahn6557]

Why can't they upscale Vehicles just slightly? I just had an idea unfortunately it would cost a little more. You could buy a second stalker and cut his feet off and he would fit down in there. So you would essentially have to have two of some of characters to make them drive vehicles.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

They upscaled some of the vehicles. But some they didn’t and probably won’t. Interesting idea to make a “driver” version 👍

[@jessespringer7723]

Please make the characters and submachopter from community’s gi jeff

[@dmathiass]

Nice review! That modern Stalker is the "TV Series" inside the 25th Anniversary line. The 25th Anniversary, with or without the silver background on the character bin, has a more darker green painting. Another Stalker is issued with the JUMP jetpack and laser rifle on the Target exclusive box Ultimate Battle Pack. All three are slightly different.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Thanks for the info! I think this was the jet pack one. 👍

[@dmathiass]

@@ActionRobotPunch Correct, this is the jet pack without the attached laser rifle as the JUMP has. It's based on the Stalker from the intro of the Sunbow Cartoon.

[@BiggestDawgEver]

@@ActionRobotPunch actually the "modern Stalker" you have is from the DVD battle pack. His coloring is meant to reflect the color pallet from the Sunbow cartoon. It is the second of three uses of that exact mold and 10th figure of the character. The third use of the mold(v.11) was colored with an even darker costume than the examples you have and was painted as though wearing black gloves. He was included in the Target exclusive "Ultimate Battle Pack". Both of these examples were packed with the JUMP jet pack. One assumes that one is packed with it because the opening credits of the M.A.S.S. device miniseries depicts Stalker using it and the other because he often used it in early issue of the Marvel comic book. The first single carded 25th anniversary release (v.9)has the same darker "jungle camo" as your vintage and retro examples.

[@cptoyscollection]

Cool

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Thanks

[@jamesmcclanahan2558]

If i didn't watch this I would have never have know that mine didn't come with his main weapon.... /sigh wish I had know that before I opened it..... Has anyone have that happen to them???

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Good that you found out now. Maybe you can write to Hasbro?

[@gator5402]

Not to be that guy but I'd much like to see him with his original sub machine gun

[@ActionRobotPunch]

I thought it was the same design? He comes with two different ones if I remember. It would make sense to match since it’s retro. Thanks for watching 👍

[@gator5402]

@@ActionRobotPunch love the video. The original stalker came with the m-32 pulverizer wich is in his card pic. Not the ww2 Era grease gun. To my knowledge that weapon was never issued to a joe . It would have been outdated I guess. Duke also came with a green m-32

[@rjh7101]

I'm waiting for a Gen. Hawk figure....Anytime Hasbro

[@loverofbeers]

I am glad to buy made in Vietnam instead of China.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

I imagine Hasbro just cares about the bottom line. Who will make their product for the least amount of money.

[@jimver2145]

Hope they make it to Canada.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

I think the FANG hit Canada first. Hopefully you’ll get these soon. 👍

[@tooslow4065]

the OG 1:18 are based on a 5"11 man. people are taller now, so 1:18 is based on a 6' guy.

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Thanks for the info and watching 👍

[@tooslow4065]

@@ActionRobotPunch I want to see more scratch builds. Of anything joe. Keep it up!

[@iscariotproject]

its sad how the 1:18 line of gi joe has become so bad

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Have you bought any of the new o-ring figures. I actually like those a lot and the hands won't crack when you put items in them. I do wish they'd make more of them. It feels like they've mostly abandoned the 1:18 scale.

[@tritonh5683]

you talk too soft and quiet. hard to make out what you are saying. o

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Thanks for the feedback. Sometimes I get so into the toy I forget I’m recording something.

[@williamwallace9427]

You’re stuff is so much better than joburgs... you deserve way more subscribers

[@ActionRobotPunch]

Thanks but Joburg are the masters. Their stuff really inspires me. Glad you like the videos 👍
