G.I.Joe Classified series.

Anyone who knows me, knows I remember the Joes (1/18 scale) from my childhood. I was at that age where I actually remember Action Man disappearing from shops and being replaced by Action Force figures. Eventually, the Action Force guys gave way to Joes that had been sold under the action force banner, and quite frankly, they were much better figures.





I recently picked up some 25th editions Joes, which I really like, but they are expensive and in most cases have to be imported . Recently however, the G.I.Joe Classified series has become available  rebranded and resized, they now come in at six inches tall! so I took the plunge and ordered a Cover Girl figure. Gotta say, really impressed by the quality

I’m really really loving the last two pictures.

That looks a great figure. I remember my brother had dozens of Action force/ GI Joe 3 3/4 back in the day too. As I've discovered recently with my Joytoy 40k stuff, it's cool to go off scale sometimes.

I was 24 years old when I walked in a toy shop and discovered this and it still traumatised me!

Those joytoy marines look awesome! gotta say, I'm quite tempted by Comander Shadowsun! The new line of Joes are really nice. Being the same age as your brother, I can understand him having so many small action Force and Joes. I gave all mine to Kie .

@ Steve, about vam, disappearing! As a kid, it was something I never understood

She is a very well detailed figure Dal , and a great set of photos.
The Alien looking praying mantis is very cool to.

Cheers Allen! They are great little figures. The green bug is from the Star wars line of toys .

Nice shots of the little ones Dal!
Your backgrounds and surroundings are always awesome!

Lady Jane looking very cool, although she perhaps could of done with a shot of the Carl Gustav bazooka  .
I also liked the Jeep and the 2 dinosaurs were very cool.
It All looked very well together.

Hi Dal the 1/18 scale Action Force and the later GI Joes were pretty cool I used to pick them up for James when he was a kid, Recently James picked me this miniature version of a carded Duke GI Joe from our local The Works bookshop the boxes they come in have three or four different Retro Vintage miniature toys, thought you would like to see these Cheers Ian

Those are really cool Ian! thanks for posting them!

No probs mate they do lots of the retro toys a lot in packaging theyre really cool people are selling individual pieces on eBay just to give you an idea what are available

I really like the miniature carded g.i. Joe , along with the toy box picked up by James, well done James   there's a tiny action man available but I think the g.i. Joe you have there is even smaller than the action man equivalent. Excellent it put a smile on my face with a   And thought that is so cool . A really nice item to own Ian .

Many thanks again guys! I'm hoping to get a few more of these little guys at some point

A few more shots of the classified Joe series.

That is a dynamic looking figure! I could be tempted to begin shifting my alliance away from 1/6-scale and toward smaller figs... maybe.

I mean, they look like fun figs to set up scenes with and to photograph. They have a lot of "play value," and the designs look pretty cool.

Maybe I should get a couple of these Classified figs to see what they are like.

Hmmm... ... I wasn't expecting these pics to be so thought provoking.

I agree with Dave , very Dynamic looking .
