MY TOP 10 FAVORITE G.I. JOE CLASSIFIED SERIES FIGURES OF 2022

[@kgthegreatone943]

GI Joe classified series is way better than marvel legends. Without a doubt

[@Xmanny87]

100%

[@Cerdo_asqueroso]

I'm not a collector, but it's a fact G.I. Joe is much better than Marvel. Not only for the quality of these new line of toys, but for the trama and story, because it's realistic.

[@Noah-vs3bq]

I’d say they’re pretty even I year later

[@shanecastro4325]

I didn’t think I would be this surprised my this line this year. This property has so many weird and interesting characters! And the detail they are giving for 20-30 bucks I feel is just great!! I thought I would see Outback on the list, but then I don’t have those Crimson Guards. They look so good!!

[@Xmanny87]

Sweet! He’s not on the list because I don’t have him. I’ll wait for his classic version. I’m not sure if I want to get any of the Tiger Force team. I’ll get them if I do decide to cave in.

[@fobninja85]

You know it's been a great year for GI Joe classified when Stalker isn't even on the list or honorable mentions

[@masterman5298]

Xmanny, I’m trying to get into GI Joes and I already have Snake Eyes and Timber, and Croc Master and Fiona, any recommendations???

[@Xmanny87]

I have a ton. Everyone on this list that’s for sure lol. You’ll definitely want to get Storm Shadow to rival your Snake Eyes. Are you more into the solo characters? Or the army builders?

[@masterman5298]

@@Xmanny87 What I like to do is get atleast 2 army builders, but overall I like the solo characters, and I’m definitely looking at that Storm Shadow

[@Xmanny87]

The two army builders I’d recommend would be the Cobra Bats and Crimson Guards.

[@jasonking3466]

In your thumbnail Serpentor looks like the world's craziest marching band drum major. W

[@Xmanny87]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Baconlovesreddead]

This line is incredible. Really shows what hasbro can do when they put some work in.

[@Xmanny87]

You’re absolutely correct.

[@atopineda135]

Thumb up for how you posed the figures for this list, great work 👍🏻.

[@Xmanny87]

Thank you! That’s what I have fun with most when doing these lists.

[@Mmantis]

croc master 4 life 😂

[@retrodealer6495]

Yeah they're pretty nice I have some of them. You sure know how to exaggerate and rub it in?. For a nice piece of plastic LOL JK.

[@Xmanny87]

LOL!

[@lanard6564]

The Cobra Infantry Trooper is a pretty sick figure. I love them all! Hasbro did a pretty great job with this line.

[@Xmanny87]

Absolutely. The infantry came out in 2021 so I didn’t include them in this list. I do like the Cobra Officers more though.

[@shakkiharvey]

I'm going to be honest I really don't collect the GI Joe action figures but Zarana and Sergeant Slaughter are the two I kind of want

[@Xmanny87]

Nothing wrong with wanting anything you like my man

[@jamesgreen9228]

Great list you're hit the nail on the head with number 1 great job love the channel

[@Xmanny87]

Thank you so much! Glad you love the channel and content.

[@IgcFilms]

My number 1 is Outback Tiguer Force!

[@Xmanny87]

Nice! I didn’t get that one as I’m waiting for the regular outfit.

[@darklordmordred]

I have two figures, that haven't been revealed yet, that I really want in this line: Night Viper and Cobra Eels. Great video!

[@Xmanny87]

I’d love to get some night vipers. And thank you 🙏🏼

[@Psychof1st]

I hope Night Vipers aren't too far off, either. They're the coolest Cobra troop builder! I would expect Eels coming pretty soon. Who is Torpedo going to have to fight when he comes out, otherwise? I really want some Hydro-Vipers! And some Eels would compliment them nicely!

[@darklordmordred]

@@Psychof1st Hydro Vipers are another one that would look really good in Classified. Their helmets are pretty cool looking.

[@Psychof1st]

@@darklordmordred I never had an Eel. But, I got a Hydro-Viper because, I was drawn to the lagoon monster mask. I also had an Undertow because, it looked like a SCUBA ninja to me. LOL I'm deep in to Classified in the hopes of also getting characters I missed back then. The only way it could get better then that is, if the nonexistent figures from the dreams I had some nights became actual figures in reality.

[@_pulyx]

Last years Classified roster was so massive and good it messed up my finances lmao

[@Xmanny87]

🤣🤣🤣

[@NewDrovack]

Waiting on the Retro Firefly. Not a fan of the “Modern” take

[@Xmanny87]

We need that version. Yeah, I wasn’t a fan of the modern one either. Had QC issues on mine too.

[@Abbotttdesign]

Not "shirukens"; Shurikens. You said shahrookens. Lol🤭😆😂😜 yeah... Remember this "sure he can". Start by saying that real fast. Then you can refine the pronunciation. I'm just taking the piss out ya, mate. I love this video.

[@jamesgunner456]

Excellent top 10 my number one 1 G.I.Joe figure of 2022 is definitely Sepentor, Sgt.Slaughter was a close 2nd #3 was Spirt #4 Croc master #5 Dr. Mindbender #6 Storm Shawdow #7 Bat troopers #8 Cobra Officers #9 Crimson guards #10 Outback

[@Abbotttdesign]

Hey, Manny, 😂 what does Ryu from Street Fighter say when he unleashes a blast of energy?.... shuhrooooken! 😂Lol

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

The cobra officer is fantastic. But the #1 is the python patrol viper. Ooh la la!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😝💯

[@Xmanny87]

I just got them. I really like the colors.

[@jeffreyweiss8223]

Not sure what you’re talking about with the Crimson Guard faceplate. The original toy had a black face mask, it was also black In the Sunbow cartoon. The silver one I. The Walmart line I believe is a reference to the comic.

[@RyanKennedy-u7g]

i just started to collect classified all because of Spirit I'm Native American and grew up loving this character.

[@AlcoholAndAnimeNight]

Great video. Looks like the Cobra figures dominated 2022

[@commonwealthcommunitywatch6036]

great video, in-depth critiques which were well-spoken... no "cool" and "awesome" like other reviewers. make more videos bro!

[@blazegriz]

My favorite ones are... none. They should be 3'75 ~ 4 inch.

[@Courier117]

Crazy to think I’ve been catching up on this line only to see the amount of figures I’ve missed out on so far

[@Xmanny87]

It is growing beautifully.

[@Courier117]

@@Xmanny87 yes

[@darthgutierrez]

Hasbro's BEST line, easily! My opinion. Tight list, sir. 😎👊🏼

[@prophet924]

Joes are my favorite toys/collectibles of 2022 also. Fantastic list! My top ten are arranged a bit differently but it’s all the same guys and lady with ole TF Outback sneaking in there. Your videos sound like well written/rehearsed speeches that come off like having a conversation. I have no idea the time you put into getting your videos done from idea to execution but your hard work shows. Your photography is on point also. Often they showcase the figure not just show them. Army building is really difficult to temper in this line. I first convince myself six are sufficient then it grows as I pick up more along the way. Six becomes eight then ten then twelve…Twelve has to be enough. It’s tough as they look all sorts of awesome in groups. BATs and Crimson Guard are my favorites too. I’ll pick up the variants of those BATs for sure. I know Snow Serpents are coming. If the Eel comes along too I’m going to be a happy camper. This is a wonderful trip along the nostalgia train. Much more coming in 2023. I have to think by 2024 there will be some Cold Slither product offered. Should be a fun ride!

[@Xmanny87]

Definitely man! It’s always a huge nostalgia trip with every release. I’m glad to hear it’s also your favorite line and I appreciate you recognizing the hard work I put into these videos. Means a ton to me that you enjoy them. I do agree with army building. I set myself to 4. Then 6 then 8 and it gets crazier. Such an easy rabbit hole to fall into. 2023 will be another crazy year. Besides the HISS tank, I’m most excited for Shipwreck.

[@NinJa-qr1sp]

CQC poses.... A fellow MGS fan eh

[@Xmanny87]

Absolutely 😏

[@Abbotttdesign]

In all seriousness, what is that word you keep using about Serpentor, "toyettic"?

[@reupertjohnsonongsy7834]

Yo Joe! I love your storm shadow pose!

[@Xmanny87]

Thanks! Yeah, I love it too.

[@LAJohn]

My fave release was Storm Shadow

[@Xmanny87]

He’s amazing!

[@stridin]

Thanks for sharing your list.

[@Xmanny87]

My pleasure!

[@ethereall187]

is serpentor coming to retail? how can they justify con exclusives?

[@bassettjj]

That serpentor looks amazing, hope I can pick one up someday somehow

[@MOCTurtle4911]

I recently ordered Spirit Ironknife. Had the original, and this one is a great homage.

[@docavenger1560]

I agree with you the Joe’s was my favorite line but i did pass on the blue ninjas didn’t see a need if I see them on sale I’ll pick up other wise easy pass

[@ro-landocalrissian4633]

Hi, do u know where I can pick up some dog figures for the gijoe classified line?

I never thought I'd collect another line but GI JOE Classified is it. Granted I'm only collecting my favorite JOES. As a kid I had alot of 3.75 GI JOES and vehicles. Seeing Stalker(in which bought recently) in a review, childhood memories came rushing through. Anyway I digress.....a great top ten GI JOE Classified list, Manny.

[@Xmanny87]

That’s awesome man. Always love hearing everyone’s childhood memories. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Paul-qw1yf]

My Sgt Slaughter arrived today!!! 2 Viper 3 packs are on the way and 9 Crimson Guards are coming now too. I need to make a lot of space. Awesome video bro.

[@Xmanny87]

Whoa 🤯 awesome! 9 Guards! Let me know how you’re enjoying that Sgt. Slaughter. And thank you for watching. I appreciate your support.

[@dougshrum967]

Im hopinh for a Big Boa i loved that figure as a kid

[@aceraider7792]

I agree, GI Joe Classified was the best line from Hasbro this year! Your previous Classified video of the cobra troopers motivated me to start army building! 😂. I agree that Serpentor was the top figure, although Spirit is my favorite. I’m looking forward to Shipwreck! Thanks for the awesome video, bro!

[@Xmanny87]

Thanks man! Yeah, I’m freak’n ecstatic for that Shipwreck.

[@robertokratosrage102]

Awesome video man! A well deserved follow!

[@jaimedelaguarda7539]

Top 10? So what you didnt include like 4 figures lol they only released like 14-15 figures this year

[@Xmanny87]

Technically about 25 lol. But I wanted to do this for fun.

[@Psychof1st]

Pretty solid reasonable list. I don't differ by much. My top 10: First, some Honorable Mentions: It was a brutal battle to get in the 10 spot, between the Officer, Alley Viper, and Blue Ninja 2-pack. My final metric, I got 4 Officers, 3 Alley Vipers, 2 Ninjas.😜 I got two Blue Ninja 2-packs. So, I could have 1 of each head displayed on a BN figure. (The 2nd pack's unused male Oni/demon masked head, I put on one of my Red Ninjas.) 10. Cobra Officer 9. Crimson Guard 8. Croc Master & Fiona 7. Tomax & Xamot (should have just been a 2-pack) (6 & 7 are a toss up) 6. Cobra B.A.T. 5.Tiger Force Outback 4. Zarana 3. Sgt. Slaughter 2. Dr. Mindbender 1. Serpentor

[@Xmanny87]

Great list! Thanks for sharing. I didn’t put Outback on my list as I didn’t buy him. Not sure if I want to cave into the Tiger Force squad just yet as I want all the original looks more.

[@Psychof1st]

@@Xmanny87 I got the original look of Outback pre-ordered, as well. OG Bazooka is in render image phase. I'm willing to bet regular Recondo will get announced sometime this year or next. Hasbro is doing alt versions of some characters first, probably to help sell retailer exclusive sub lines. And some people will buy it (for FOMO sake) and then also buy the classic version, like me. If we got regular Bazooka and Recondo already, I too might have skipped their Tiger Force versions. But, my OCD is Hasbro's greatest weapon against my wallet. I caved and ordered all the Tiger Force and all the Python Patrol figs. That PP Officer is a bit of an eyesore but, I gotta have the numbered box on my shelf. *sigh But, the old man Outback head is pretty cool, and the O-ring version never came out in the US, that sold me on the Tiger Force Outback. I'm almost going all in on Classified! I had a good amount of Joes back in the 80's but, lost a chunk of them. I'm pretty much living the fantasy I had as a kid of getting them all. And army building troop characters. When Hasbro starts really having to rely on sub teams made up of repaints, like "Night Force," D.E.F., and "Sonic Fighters," etc, I'll start skipping some. (I've got some of the Ninja Force on my most wanted list. Because they are new characters that I like.) I pre-ordered Marauders Barbecue because I like the look better and I could always use it elsewhere. But, I strongly believe I'll beat back the OCD and not get any of the other Marauder repaints. So, expect Hasbro to put out Marauder color schemes of Mercer, Red Dog and Taurus before the original ones. "Curse you, Hasbro!" Then there are dozens of unique characters I don't have any nostalgic connection to, like Big Ben and Tripwire that are coming. It'll be coin toss for those. Lest my obsession never wanes. LOL P.S. Sorry for the essay.

[@overlandrcadventure]

Good review man,you definitely earned my sub😎 thanks. I just picked up my second classified figure-Outback and he’s a great figure, I remember having the 3/4” figure as a kid and he was one of my favourites.can’t wait to get my other favourites.

[@jesusfernandez974]

I'm with you man I'm also a sucker for weapon storage that's what I like from the classified series, awesome list 👍.

[@Xmanny87]

Right? It’s so satisfying lol

[@actionfigpacked_captrickjames]

Awesome vid Manny!! The Classified series killed it this year!!! The figures I really want to see are Alpine, Jinx, Nemesis Enforcer, Golobulus, Tunnel Rat, Law and Order, Mainframe, Hydro Viper, Slice, Quick Kick, Shockwave, Annihilator, H.E.A.T Viper, Dice, Bushido, so so many more.... Do you know of any products that tighten the hip joints on the figures? ✌️✌️

[@Xmanny87]

Thanks man! Amazing wishlist you have there. I’m down for all of them. Surely Nemesis Enforcer and Golobulus will be the tallest in the line. As for your question, try applying dry nail polish. That’s something I know some people use to tighten up joints.

[@actionfigpacked_captrickjames]

Gi Joe is what really started my love for action figures. I'll give that a try the Lady Jaye figure I ordered came in with a way loose hip joint...

[@Flipmodehaarlem]

[@Xmanny87]

Thanks man! I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

[@Synapse928]

My favorite line of the year! So many awesome figures, and they seem to only be getting better. The BAT is my favorite. I'm up to 10 so far. I couldn't put it down, I was constantly picking up the two I had at my workstation and kept reposing them. The accessories and battle damage make this the most worthwhile troop builder because of all the diversity it offers on a shelf. I divided my Top 10 down the middle, with a Top 5 Cobra (Serpentor, Mindbender, Crimson Twins, Croc Master, and BAT) and Top 5 Joes (Spirit, Outback, Stalker, Dusty, and Slaughter). I had a personal attachment to Croc Master too. When I was kid, I had the 3.75 version, and accidently left them on my dad's tailgate not knowing he was leaving. Croc Master was recovered, though battered and missing fingers. That version of "Fiona" is still MIA 36 years later.

[@Xmanny87]

Oh wow man. Thanks for sharing that funny story. And yeah, great list you have. I didn’t add TF Outback as I don’t have him. I’m waiting for the regular version. Not sure if I want to cave into Tiger Force yet.

[@Synapse928]

@@Xmanny87 LOL! NP, it was awful for 7 year old me, but I look back and laugh now. Yeah I get that ... the promo pics for TF Outback reeled me in though. Such a cool rugged looking figure. I'm getting the main line version too. Not sure which I'll use. Recondo is the only other TF I plan to get.

[@jareddavidmanifold313]

Great collection I'm really liking the classified series. I'd love to see hasbro make a rare cobra figure no1 ever talks about. That's right I'd love to see a Cesspool figure in the near future. He was such a cool looking cobra trooper
