G.I. Joe Classified 6" Wave 1 Redeco Figures Official Images

GI Joe

A couple weeks ago we first told you how Hasbro was going to be phasing out the original wave 1 G.I. Joe Classified figures with ones that had updated paint decos.

Hasbro has now released official images for the updated Duke, Scarlett and Roadblock figures which you can check out below. We should note the Snake-Eyes shown here appears to still be the original version. We've seen reports there is a variant of Snake-Eyes with very minor changes. The little red dot on his forehead has been removed and the knife he comes with is now packed in the sheath located on his leg as opposed to packed separately. This is likely due to the fact many of the original Snake-Eyes figures had a problem with the knife fitting properly in the sheath. Destro as far as I know is exactly the same as the original version which isn't surprising since that one was near perfect anyway.

The original wave 1 figures are being phased out so as retailers get new inventory in for these figures, look for them to have the new versions, not the original ones. I believe the new versions are already starting to show up at retail

You can pre-order the new versions now at our sponsor BigBadToyStores.com.

If anyone finds Snake Eyes online without having to purchase all the rest of the figures. Let us know...

Scarlett's head is definitely an improvement, but her uniform is still a bit garish even without the gold. I wish they'd added more yellow to the armor to bring her a little closer to the original. Also, why wouldn't they remove the red from the pants? Therewas a lot of criticism about it.

What was series 2, Gung Ho, CC and Red Ninja? I'm already loosing track.

I was actually thinking of the Target wave, but I guess it depends on who you ask.

There is No reason for anyone who wants these figures, not to be able to acquire them... Unless you have to find them in the stores, then yes they are still a bit hard to find, but pop up here and there. Online on the other hand, is a whole another ball game! They are readily available... Snake Eyes, Destro and Red Ninja sell for a bit more than retail though. I wish these figures would be more abundant like Fortnite figures, per say.

They probably won't redeco any other waves. The first wave featured those horrible metallic gold and silver colors and lots of bright colors that didn't fit, so the future waves were quickly changed before they ever were released. That's why none of them feature these same issues other than perhaps Cobra Commander, but it works for him more than the others.

Hey, I wonder if we can get series 2 redecoed?

What was series 2, Gung Ho, CC and Red Ninja? I'm already loosing track.

Gung Ho could easily be redone in the the more classic teal color.

For CC and Red Ninja, just give them slightly different shades of blue and red respectively (add hooded head option to CC for guaranteed sales).

The chances of me buying these are high. It has nothing to do with whether or not I like the repaints better than the old, it's because it's NEW GI Joe stuff and knowing me like I do, I'll probably end up with it.
