The G.I. Joe 60th Anniversary Infantry Action Figure from Hasbro is a standout addition to the G.I. Joe Classified Series, celebrating the storied legacy of this franchise. With multiple head sculpts representing diverse skin tones, extensive accessories, and excellent articulation, this figure captures the essence of G.I. Joe's long-standing tradition while modernizing it for today's collectors.
Accessories: 9/10
This figure comes packed with 25 character-inspired accessories, which truly enhance its play and display value. The accessories include:
Two interchangeable head sculpts (one Caucasian and one African American)
Multiple hand sculpts for varied poses
A camouflaged cloth poncho
A hood to fit over the head sculpts and a neck scarf/bandanna
A detailed helmet and dog tags
A vest with five removable pouches
Backpack, walkie-talkie, and an ammo belt
An array of weaponry, including rifles and sidearms
A figure stand
The sheer number and variety of accessories allow for immense customization, making this figure adaptable for numerous combat scenarios. The only downside is that managing all the smaller accessories can be tricky, and collectors may find themselves needing to store extras securely.
Appearance: 8.5/10
The sculpt and paintwork on this figure are top-notch. The head sculpts are finely detailed, offering a realistic representation of different ethnicities, which is a great nod to inclusivity. The camouflage poncho and military vest are well-textured, adding to the figure’s realism. The paint applications on the weapons and accessories are clean, with very few noticeable imperfections.
However, some may find the overall design a bit generic, particularly in comparison to more iconic characters in the G.I. Joe lineup. That being said, this figure excels in its role as a versatile infantry soldier.
Articulation: 9/10
The G.I. Joe 60th Anniversary Infantry Action Figure features multiple points of articulation that allow for a wide range of dynamic poses. Whether you're setting up action shots or display dioramas, this figure can achieve various stances, from crouching to aiming rifles, thanks to its double-jointed knees, elbows, and swiveling joints in the shoulders, waist, and ankles. The articulation is smooth, and the figure maintains its stability during posing. I did run into some issues with the knees being tight, but heat helped. The best part of this figure though is the head and neck joints that are on ball pegs and allow for spectacular range of motion.
Affordability: 8/10
Retailing at around $34.99, this figure is priced competitively for the amount of detail, articulation, and accessories included. While it's slightly more expensive than some other 6-inch action figures, the quality and accessory count justify the price point. However, for casual collectors, the cost may feel a bit steep, especially when compared to figures without as many extra parts.
Overall Grade:
8 out of 10 ToyBoxes.
The G.I. Joe 60th Anniversary Infantry Action Figure delivers on multiple fronts, offering a highly customizable and well-articulated figure that pays homage to the franchise's military roots. While the price may be a touch high for some, the sheer number of accessories, detailed sculpts, and excellent articulation make this figure a strong addition to any G.I. Joe collection. Thank you for stopping by and, as always, until next time... GEEK OUT!!!
