By 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…

For G.I. Joe fans, Metal-Head was never just another Cobra-aligned madman with missiles strapped to his back. He was loud, wild, unpredictable, and completely unforgettable. In the DiC era of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, Metal-Head burst onto the screen with the kind of manic energy that could only work if the voice actor fully committed to the insanity. 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…

By 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. Add that to the lore of him being a door kicker, and he was instantly running the lead on most missions in the field, right alongside Beach Head.…

By Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios This is a saying that plays well right now. I feel like I am overlooking uncertainty, but for good reason. I feel like I am looking past rising G.I.Joe Classified prices and at other lines, doing my best to see the good in some figures when I am kind of like, “Meh.” 2026 has been such a whiplash from 2025 that I feel like I am in a neck brace. I understand that there are a ton of factors playing into the state…

By Destro Designs – Viper Den Studios We all know the DIC episodes of the G.I. Joe IP are atrocious and an affront to the senses of all G.I. Joe fans. It’s as craptacular as anything to hit the airwaves on a dial TV. From the opening entrance song, to the music, to the plots, to the horrendous voice acting, it fucking sucked. But. They slid into the frame two-plus years after the movie ended, and there were some unanswered questions. There were also a lot of new figures that…
