Read MoreBy Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios Since the inception of my adult collecting, I’ve been married to Hasbro’s G.I. Joe Classified line. And while 2025 was like a Cadillac-sized ball of crack for a crackhead, 2026, along with other amazing lines, has diminished the light in my eyes of loyalty to the line and the brand. It all started when I opened the $46 Legacy Special Forces figure while having two different Monster Force Delta Reds that were a couple of dollars cheaper and infinitely better, with more gear…

Garry Chalk did exactly that. Chalk, sometimes credited or searched by fans as Gary Chaulk or Gary Chalk, brought Metal-Head to life with a performance that leaned into everything ridiculous…

Read MoreBy Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios Since the moment I saw the Shockwave card art, I was obsessed. The deep blues contrasted with the lighter blue hit so hard. As part of the Balaclava Gang Gang, he was instantly one of my favorites. But when you add in the military cap, it was a wrap. He looked so ready for battle.
