I definitely loved these figures whenever I was a kid. I would be playing with Cobra and Joe's and then I would have the manimals just come periodically to ruin the whole battle. Good stuff.

I don't know if anyone has pointed this out yet, but "Iguanus" is also the name of a Transformers Pretender action figure, also by Hasbro. He had a purple reptilian shell over a robot endoskeleton. It sort of reminds me of the Shockwave name crossover...

In and of themselves, they don't seem too bad. They just don't belong in G.I. Joe. They look like they would be good foes for the outer space version of He-Man (remember that?).

Great video, I was glad to donate these toys and help with any research, and I guess you used somewhat my idea to create a mini hcc788, don't forget to say I shall call him mini me, lol.

The name Iguanus was first used with the Transformers, as a 1988 Decepticon Pretender was named that.

I love the amount of research put into this video. As someone who only really got into G.I. Joe about 4 years ago, I'm glad I can constantly learn something new and fascinating about the G.I. Joe franchise. I run a Transformers-and-Transformers-adjacent based lore series here on KZbin and I've been looking for ways to incorporate more G.I. Joe stuff into my content since I think a lot of people are sleeping on what the franchise has to offer. Videos like these are both tremendously entertaining as well as educational for people in my position. Thank you very much!

I remember finding out about these as unproduced Joe toys and then maybe a year or so later is when I heard they were getting released through Kay Bee Toys, so I was super excited. They fit within the wacky Lunartix Empire Star Brigade world pretty well despite having really poorly written File Cards. I liked Slythor and Warwolf more then Iguanus, so I picked them up first back when the line debuted. I'd have preferred something similair to Warwolf's original color scheme as his red pupil-less eyes and green alien skin looked cooler to me then the pale skin with almost cartoonish eyes. Zig Zag, Spasma & Vortex all had really interesting transformation gimmicks so it kinda sucks they didn't put in Zig Zag or Vortex in Series 1 in exchange for Iguanus or Warwolf (since those two have very similair gimmicks). Well done review as usual sir!

I've always been very fond of the Manimals and kind of bummed that we never got the other three. But I like GI Joe's science fiction elements and the contrast of a more or less realistic military force like the Joes battling robots and monsters. And despite the somewhat limited articulation, they're still a lot better then the Mega Marines monsters IMHO. Though I admit, that's not saying much. But I always got plenty of use out of them.

I actually own 8 of the Animorphs figures, but I got into these only cause in 1997 I discovered the book series by K.A. Applegate. My figures are still mint on card/ in box, I want to still complete the collection someday, and own every book in the series. Was a solid series, but the end was a bit dark I thought. The whole thing was HOT with books, giveaways from Scholastic, toys, board games, merchandise, even a tv series on Nickelodeon.

I remember picking up all three of these figures at KB Toys in the early 2000s. Iguanus was my favorite mainly for the reptilian, Egyptian, Chariots of the Gods appearence. I was a huge fan of all that during the late 90s early 2000s. I didn't use the mutating feature either, Iguanus was similar to Predator and he wore a skull chest piece like one of the Preds in the Alien vs Predator Dark Horse Comics. In my Joeverse. Warwolf was my second favorite he reminded me of a Space Jockey from Alien so that was what he was a interstellar humanoid pilot. I also had no use for the mutating feature on him either he did not need it. As for Slythor I never knew he came with glasses...
