A very comprehensive list. If you want to dive into the weeds of "variants" I would introduce you the not-so-wonderful world of manufacturing hubs and their differing plastics (sarcastic "yay!"). In the first and 2nd year figures were made in one of two hubs: C-3565A or C-3565B. Hub A was the better hub (in my opinion). It had fewer paint app errors, had better texture resolution on the plastic molds, and heavier/sturdier plastic. Even the plastic colors varied. For example, Tomax and Xamot had different hair shades and gloss vs matt on the hair. Version A was lighter and matt and B was darker and gloss. The Alley Viper was dark orange vs light orange. Stalker was also affected in terms of plastic cover variation. In fact, when you mentioned the Viper 3 pack variation, guess which hub was responsible? C-3566B. Check the bottom of the feet to verify :D. This ended during the Zarana and Dusty era where they permanently switched to hub C-3252A. After that I have seen less variants...save the odd arm popping off....*cough* Zarana *cough* ;)

[@MacDowin]

Thank you so much for the comment. I knew there were different hubs, but I missed that there were some differences between the two. I charted individual figure manufacturing dates for a while because I noticed that later figures had less articulation issues than earlier. For example first run TF Outback had a leg/ball joint issue whereas later run figures didn't. Same with Serpentor in regards to arm and torso. I am interested in these other variations you mentioned. I will start doing some research, but feel free to email me and we can talk more.

[@gyrostwogo6779]

Just when I thought I knew the line, you taught me several new things. Especially with the variants. Now I’m gonna have to watch this video again with my collection in front of me. Thank you

[@MacDowin]

You are welcome. I am glad you found it helpful. Thank you for stopping by.

[@GCBrad]

Excellent and detailed list, loved it! looking forward to the 2024 breakdown!!

[@MacDowin]

Thank you for checking it out. As soon as Hasbro drops the last figure of 2024 I will get right to work on it.

[@JCC1004]

You went over the entire line in the time some people take to review one figure. 😂

[@MacDowin]

Yep, let's go! Lol

[@georgelindstrom5362]

Great list and video. Super useful. All lines should have one of these.

[@killaking2880]

thank you for this ! was very late to this line, only need 3 key things hiss tank breaker, and crimson alley viper! also learned i have the 2nd rarest blue troopers in my army!! very happy to learn that! and that my destro has no weird circle on the top of his head! great work! learned alot in this video!

[@MacDowin]

Thank you for stopping by and glad you it helped you out.

Very well done. Time to start my variant hunt. Thank you as always for the great information.

[@alfredodeltoro8500]

This video was informative! I am a new subscriber!

[@lareh5501]

Nicely done. I knew about the beachhead variants (and even recall talks about destro variants w/&w/out a ring), but didn't know about the three 1:13 trooper variants.

[@MacDowin]

Thank you for stopping by. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@CambrieFeldt]

Nice video. I enjoyed watching.

[@TerrenceChilds-xz3xu]

Why doesn't Hasbro just re-release their vintage figures?

[@mattcappelli5822]

Really helpful video! Crazy amount of releases. I’m new to collecting the classified Joes, so what’s a good way to know what’s getting released?

[@johnm5573]

Awesome video. Pretty detailed. I learned quite a bit about the different releases. I did notice that a couple of things were missed. The #17 storm shadow has a blue eye variant. Beachhead has a later run eye hazel color. There are several earlier figures that have pegged bottom packaging variations vs the smooth bottom. I haven’t confirmed this yet, but mutt may have a variation with and without a 5 o'clock shadow.

[@MacDowin]

Thank you for stopping by. I knew about the hazel Beach Head, but forgot to mention it. The others I did not know about. If you find out more information please email me and let me know. I will search out those others.

[@SoldadoColeccionista8927]

Brother, your video is awesome and cover pretty much every detail and facts from the Classified line. You have a new member, hope don’t mind if I mention you and recommend your video on my spanish figure collector’s channel!

[@MacDowin]

You mean the old 80s o-rings?

[@slow17motion]

Got 'em all in the box--except the Cobra Trooper with the black collar and black waist. Not every box is mint, but pretty close. I have a lot of them out of the box, but not all of them. A lot of them at the beginning of the line I just have in the box.

[@ajitesh_ironcreed7257]

Wishing for the days when GI Joe will be available in India at affordable prices. As a kid 15 years ago they were worth 70-80 INR a piece. Now they cost like 3-6K inr

[@kayber76nerdculture]

What version of Snake eyes is the one where the knife doesn't fit in the holster? I seem to have that one

[@MacDowin]

That is the first version released.

[@bctan2291]

Just 1 G.I. Joe classified series is enough to make us broke ... 😂

[@photogijoehero]

Great list!

[@Progfan2010]

Amazing collection. You must have around $3,000 Dlls worth of figures there. Am I right? I'd like to buy a few of the most classic ones but I can't find a place where there's a consistent list of figures.

[@user-xv3zp8gl7j]

They started pumping these out like crazy, i had to stop collecting, rediculas.

[@MacDowin]

Yeah, sometimes a pile of these drop at once and become overwhelming.

Honestly too many repeat figure. Just repaint

[@bobdobalina8910]

From the TOP 0. Very Well Done Sculpt, should have been all black, but it was an EXCELLENT way to Kick Off the Line. High Hopes. 1. EPIC FAIL. Some Dude named Roadbloack with a Bizarre SciFi weapon. 2. This Dude sells, and all in black. Well Done. Disappointed in Weapons Load Out, this will be a Recurring theme throughout line. 3. Big D is BACK. Looks Great. Just needs a Chrome Head, but that's ok. 4. You can see HasBlow work Hard to NOT give the FANs what they want. Again Scifi weapons. LAME. 5. Another near miss. This will be a Bone of Contention throughout the Majority of this line. 10. Looks good, missing some key points, but weapons are a serious disappointment. WHY? 11. Another Dude masquerading as another Dude pretending to play another Dude. More SciFi Weapons. SMH. 12. Almost there, but just can't give the FANS what they want, crave and DEMAND? Hasblow Why? WHY? 13.Coulda been a Hit, but the cycle? WT.herr was that thing? Definite miscues. Another SAD FAIL. 14. Christmas SShadow. HasBlow likes to Double Down. 9. Kinda, ok, decent, NOT right Colors and EXCLUSIVE another PLAGUE of the line. 15. It kinda works in some weird way, if you have a bunch of Anime girls surrounding him, but at least he was COOL. 6a. Yet another close 85% almost there but NOT quite Character. HasBlow STRIKES AGAIN. Told you it's a recurring theme. 7. Never seen these guys before, might as well be the Hand, oh wait, the MLs HAND Figure was closer to this than this guy was. 8. Looks like a reject or red shirt from the First group that went into the Jungle in the Predator 1987 movie. More FAKE weapons. 6b. Almost looks the part, almost. Give em that it is one of the better ones in the series so far. 21. DISASTER EPIC FAIL and EXCLUSIVE so many things wrong, Wrong, WRONG! Awful representation. Forenites was better. 22. Another 85% close to representation. HasBlow STRIKES Yet Again. 4b. Repainted because of FAN Backlash, and thrown out the door, EPIC FAIL in appeasement. 5b. Refer to 4b 1b. Refer to 4b and 5b. More SciFi weapons, a Fake Firearms, wrong colors on 4b. the List of WRONG is LONG. 23. HasBlow likes to tease, but it didn't hit it out of the park. Getting close again. 24. Looking good, not perfect ming you, but maybe HasBlow is on the right Track FINALLY! Just SciFi FAKE weapons. 27. Another EXCLUSIVE FAIL. He looks Bad A though, warming up to the line, only took like 25 figures to get there. 25. I do beleive they are on the right track, let's hope it stays this way. 26. Looks dam decent, again not quite perfect, but acceptable. 28. Right guy, close to right look, but WRONG Weapon, at least it's a Real looking authentic firearm, if a Massive GAU Gatling. 16. MOVIE was a MASSIVE FAIL, nothing Origin about it, figure was decent, probably the best of that line, not saying much though 17. FAIL 19. FAIL, I see we are back to HasBlow dropping the Ball yet again. Well Done. At least they are consistent. 18. FAIL 20. FAIL you starting to see a Pattern here? Doesn't help the Movie was Beyond Awful. 29. After the Disasters HasBlow has been releasing they did an about face, Ram was really good, so was Breaker SAD no gear for him 32. Looking Good, back on Track, yet again 30. Looking Great, Well Done, but gear isn't quite there 31. Got the Color Change Feature, YES!, but another friggin EXCLUSIVE and not quite OG, close, but so are Handgrenades 33. BEST ONE so far, just minor complaints, more like grumbles 34. YES! YES! YES! As Spot on as you can get. EXCELLENT! 35. WoW! Near Perfect, minor grumbles 36. This is what the FANS wants, was it really so hard HasBlow? Took way too long to get here 37. Looked like he walked off the pages of the Comic 38. Hitting High notes now! Look at you go HasBlow! 51. Back to the EXCLUSIVES, knew it wouldn't last long, and who are these two again? Just like the Red, MISS 52. Yeah Very Cool, yet another SE Redo, but EXCLUSIVE, C'mon HasBlow, this just P, is , s off the Fandom 53. A better ninja rendition, but sadly and unfortunately another EXCLUSIVE, Scalpers love it 47. Took a bit of a step back, Cool yes, but many miscues, and SO TIRED of the LAME as X Pletive Firearms 44. Ok, was getting a little bit rickety there, starting to shape up again, minor gripes 45. Yup, just like 44, Just WISH they would have come in a 2 pk like the originals did, including reflective foil 46. Well, Not only did they get him 99% there, but his gear is definitely an UPGRADE! Took Long Enough. But will they keep it up? 39. Looks Tres Cool, hopefully HasBlow has learned some VALUABLE Lessons along the way, Knowing is Half the Battle 41. Sadly, saw this coming, and all the other redeco ones as well, why let it go to waste, waiting for a PINK one 42. Much like 39 and 41 EXCLUSIVES, this is where HasBlow Loves to go wrong and Screw the Fans aka Consumers 53. Think he is more Sgt Slaughter than Sgt Slaughter was, pays Homage to the Movie, sadly and EXCLUSIVE 57. Grrrrr! ANOTHER EXCLUSIVE, hasblow, Hasblow!, HASBLOW! WHY? Not gonna lie, Face was awful 43. Take 57 and add some more Grrrrr and expletives! Great looking Figure though 48. Pretty darn good 49. Stepped off the pages, Great and weapons loadouts finally realistic and return to originals 50. AWESOME! Near PERFECT. Not gonna lie, a little disappointed in choice of weapon 40. AND BACK to the EXCLUSIVES, he was decent enough 54. Looking good, just EXCLUSIVE 55. Well Done, just EXCLUSIVE 56. Excellent, just EXCLUSIVE 58. Back to the RePaints, great figure, was just a matter of time 59. Near Perfect Everything BUTTER face, this will become a trend with HasBlow on Future releases sadly 60. Gotta have one in every color, even if there wasn't a toy version to back it up 63. There ya go, I knew HasBlow could if they wanted to, but the weapons again 64. There's that sculpt problem rearing it's ugly head again 62. Can't go wrong there 70. Ahoy Matey, looking good, not perfect but good 71. That's the HasBlow I know, taking a step back, don't want to keep the Ball Rolling or anything 72. Bounces back, I think hasBlow likes pendulums, back and forth, forth and back 73. DARE I Say it? First one to HIT it out of the Park? 74. and a Step Back, not bad but coulda done better, the tank missle launcher is kinda sorta growing on me 65. Of course they did 66. RePaint time, I mean I get it, but give more of a breather would ya? 69. Went more Techno in an attempt to change it up, what's that Number 4 now? 81. Second One to NAIL IT, just wish him and 73, came with MP5s or M4s, kinda chinzed out imo and EXCLUSIVE GRRRR! 79. I think HasBlow might have jumped the barrel here, they are rolling 7s 68. Not a Big Force builder but gimmes, so will let it slide 85. Was Guaranteed a RePaint, decent enough 86. Back to Basics, no argument, like the extras, helmet he came with 67. Some Grumblings with him, mostly little things, looks Great 76. HARDEST EXCLUSIVE to get, Not Impressed, Excellent Representation, but Good Luck, I don't buy from Scalpers, and that's whos got him 77. EXCLUSIVE, you getting Tired of the HASBLOW BS yet? I am. More than Tired. 92. Cool Factor YES, but No Connection to him, I understand why they do this, supposedly 88. Just ok, not bad, but not hitting it out of the ball park either 89. HasBlow LOVES their Repaints 83. Another There Ya Go HasBlow! Give yerself a Pat on the back 84. Dam Near Perfectt if I do say so myself 86. Look at 84 and go yeah, I can see it 106. This guy couldn't get closer to what he would look like stepping out of the cartoon 104. Pushing the Message, no real connection, she's there, but meh 78. See told ya, couldn't stay away from EXCLUSIVES for long, Great Figure, needs minor Tweaking to get that A 93. Very much prefer the Retro, a little over the top, a little too far from OG, but acceptable, shoulda come with an AK, C'Mon HasBlow 95. No Complaints, looks Really Good, just wish it was 2 Males for better Troop Building 82. I do like it but have my gripes and reservations, B- 75. No surprise, EXCLUSIVE, looks good, wasn't a favorite character of mine so no biggie 90. Retconned in? Couldn't care less, sculpt was alright I guess, lil girl 50 lb firearm, sure 91. Rolling my Eyes, EXCLUSIVE, do like him though 94. Looks Cool enough, would get him over 90 any day, maybe a few for a diorama, but no connection 102. Right up there with his buddy 106 105. Almost there, BUT Weapons are a Miss, AGAIN! 103. YO JOE! Can't ask for much more in a Fig and a Reprsentation 96. Yeah yea Cool, BUT EXCLUSIVE 97. same as 96 98. same as 97 EXCLUSIVE EXCLUSIVE EXCLUSIVE 99. EXCELLENT 100. What the Majority asked for 101. Nothing wrong with her, she can drive my Tank any day 100. Well there ya go, now you can also get a Range V but in Non Range V colors, Set looks good, gripe that the reds dont match 80. Does the OG proud 108. Interesting, but much like 90, no connection 109. Cooler than 108? Sure is, but no connectionm good troop builder I guess 113. Well Done, Excellent, BUT can see HasBlow doesn't like to give Original Gear with the Characters, they just can't do it RETRO CARDED FIGURES are much Better and more in line with the Originals, if they had done that from the beginning, they would have had a BANNER Year in Sales by comparison to whatever they did

[@MacDowin]

Thank you for stopping by and for this comment. I enjoyed reading your thoughts on each figure.

[@AlanDavidDoane]

You're not aware that Hasbro would have to pay extra to use Slaughter's name for Slaughter's Marauders, or you're not aware how super cheap Hasbro is?

[@MacDowin]

As you know they already paid Slaughter for his likeness and multiple action figures. I don’t know the details of that contract nor do I know how that connects to the Slaughters Marauders team name.

[@AlanDavidDoane]

@@MacDowin By the process of elimination, we can deduce that most likely they forgot to include Slaughter's Marauders in the initial negotiation because Hasbro.

[@MacDowin]

Yes, it’s possible.
