We just got the Gi Joe Classified Vamp! Let's take a look at the toy and then jump it off some ramps!

you are one of the few people on KZfaq showing the toy being played with and mounting it up with figures. BRAVO! Why aren't other people doing this? the whole point of getting gijoe vehicles whet I was s kid was to load them up with figures and toss them around. now as an adult I'm not going yo toss it around too much but you can be damned sure I'm going to do a diorama with it loaded with figures and flexing that suspension using some rocks.

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed that. Yeah, my first instinct was that this thing wants to roll around! It wants to move. Like you mention, as kids we'd race these around all over the place. Maybe I just never lost that part of me? I do love playing with my kids on the floor. Soon enough my knees will be too old to allow for that LOL Thanks for the comment and watching the video!

I think because the original Vamp was only $9 (or free if our parents bought it for us) compared to $100-120 for this modern version. I'm definitely more careful with expensive items like that even if they are toys. Lots of people don't even ever take it out of the package, but whatever works for you.

My VAMP is loaded with blast effects added but the hundred dollar toy ain't touching dirt.

Most adult collectors just like placing their stuff on a shelf. Some just do different things with their toys to enjoy them. To each their own.

would have been cool if this thing came with some kind of tripod thing to place the double 50 on and make it a stationary thing away from the vamp

I wish the cannons were like the OG ones with recoil action. The .50 cal brownings like Roadblock’s just seem kind of lazy. There’s no place to stand a figure on the back to mount the guns. They would have to be controlled robotically. I’m hoping Gridiron will offer an alternative.

@ActionRobotPunch 3 ай бұрын

Yeah some kind of recoil action would have been nice. I might just model some kind of optics and controls for the mounted cannon. Thanks for watching.

The original Vamp was one of my most sought after vehicles. Unfortunately I never found one and hoped Hasbro was going to rerelease it at some point. This looks good, even though I don't collect 6" stuff, it looks like a fun toy.

Yeah I thought they’d reissue the original or 25th but instead gave us the awestriker.

Looks good! Looks worth the price. But still, around $100 bucks is still a lot of cash for some people. That spare helmet is based on the Steel Brigade/Corps helmets. Classified Grunt also comes with one. I guess the designers are kinda planning to give most of the 82-83 Joes that helmet.

Why are they doing the GI Joes so big? Will they ever return to the smaller figures like the 80s? I get depressed every time I go to Target or Walmart that there is no whole aisle of GI Joes.

@ActionRobotPunch 3 ай бұрын

I think because they can charge more for a larger figure and vehicles while Hasbro cost is about the same. Engineering and designing a 4” figure is the same work as a 6” figure. But Hasbro charges $25, $32 and more for classified. People perceive more value in a larger toy. It’s like food portions. Quantity over quality.

@@joest.eggbenedictus1896 Hasbro did try making 3 3/4 inch inch Joe reissues a bit ago, but they struggled to sell. Probably due to them being sold exclusively as 2 packs costing $40, basically $20 per figure, which is a bit much for figures of that scale for most collectors. It looks like they’ll only do 3 3/4 figures exclusive to the Transformers crossover line because of it.
