We love G.I. Joe here at Geek’s Oasis and we have been making sure that we salute the epic G.I Joe classified series 6-inch SGT. Slaughter action first figure we have on display in the break room each morning!
In all seriousness, many people were a bit nervous when Hasbro announced the G.I Joe Classified series as 3 ¾ was the standard size for G. I Joe.
However, the incredible sculpts on these larger figures soon turned many fans around and it is one of the premier lines that Hasbro has right now.
How Did We Complete This Mission?
We sat around the briefing table of the war room on the USS Flagg and decided that this line is so massive that there was no way we could make everyone happy with our picks for the best G.I Joe Classified figure.
What we did was look at our collections and decide to share with you the ones that we feel are awesome and that would be great in your own G.I Joe collection.

Attention maggots! This amazing G.I. Joe classified series 6-inch SGT. The slaughter action figure is just so cool. Sarge is an iconic character from the G.I Joe line and a WWE hall of fame wrestler too!
We just love how this figure captures his big burly chest and pointy chin, and you can just hear him yelling orders at the Joes to get ready for the next strike at the heart of Cobra. This is a must in a G.I Joe collection!

You cannot have a list with the best GI Joe Classified Series figures and not have Snake Eyes on there!
We love this one as it is a two-pack, as it also comes with his brave and badass wolf, Timber, and a bunch of cool accessories as well which is great if you like to get creative with your posing.
While this does have windowless packaging, we love the art on the box and think it deserves to be saved as you rip open the box!

Is there a tougher and more badass Joe than Roadblock? We freaking love this figure, it captures Roadblock in all his jacked glory and he is packing the major artillery here with that giant gun of his too.

When you are putting together a G.I. Joe Classified Series collection, Cobra Commander is sure to be close to the top of the list of characters you want to add.

FAQs About G.I Joe Classified Series
Here we have some secret intel to help you make the right choice when it comes to purchasing your next G.I Joe Classified Series vintage figure.
Lose or on the card?
One of the big dilemmas we toy collectors, have is to crack them open and pose them or leave them on the card or in the box. With the G.I Joe Classified Series, Hasbro has kind of taken that choice away from you.
The older figures came in packaging where you could see the figures. However, if you check out our Boba Fett action figure guide, you know that new figures from Hasbro come in windowless packaging so you cannot see the actual figure inside the box!
What version of a character should I buy?
Hasbro has certainly not been shy about releasing different variations of the same character! You can get a standard Storm Shadow, or the deluxe figure we have on our list. Many characters have more than one version.
We suggest going for the one that you think is the coolest vintage look or the one that you feel best captures the character the way you remember them.
