SKIP IT?

This Night Creeper (D.I.R.E Tech) from the G.I. Joe Classified Series looks great at first glance…

…but the more I handled it, the more I started noticing something.

Reused parts. A lot of them, as well as other issues.

So now the question is simple:

👉 Is this actually worth your money…
👉 Or is this one you should skip without regret?

In this honest review, I’m breaking it all down — no fluff:

And the final verdict: buy or skip
If you collect G.I. Joe Classified figures, watch this before you decide.

G.I. Joe is a highly skilled, on-demand, special operations force of men and women from around the globe tasked with defending the world from Cobra, a ruthless criminal organization bent on total domination. Wherever there’s trouble, G.I. Joe is there.

New to the G.I. Joe Classified Series line, Night-Creeper (D.I.R.E. Tech) comes ready for adventure, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability. This Night-Creeper figure contains 8 character-inspired accessory pieces including alternate head, 2 knives, crossbow, crossbow bolt, backpack, and 2 D.I.R.E. projection swords. Because of their Zen-like discipline and the organization’s own delvings into areas of arcane mysticism, Night-Creepers, Cobra Ninja troops, are particularly well-suited to manipulate D.I.R.E. (Dread-Inducing Responsive Energy) Tech manifestations to conduct their field intelligence and covert operations for Cobra.

I know it goes without saying that Walmart doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to exclusives; Either none can be found in store, or online orders are canceled after months of waiting. Hopefully that isn’t the case here, as I know many collectors are looking forward to adding this troop builder to their collection. Me personally? I’d have preferred a dip in to the Plague subgroup, but I’m sure we’ll cross that bridge eventually.

Thanks as always go to @sharkys_pix for the review. Consider giving him a follow if you aren’t already!
