Chuckles Bio and Skills

We still had the image from the retired GI Joe Meet the Characters page, where it lists out Chuckles bio and skills! His bio reads: “Chuckles works deep undercover for GI Joe, infiltrating Cobra operations around the world to gain valuable intel and put a stop to their schemes. He’s and incredible actor who can talk his way out of most situations…and fight his way out of the rest. For Chuckles, the end justifies the means, and he’s not afraid to break the rules to accomplish his deep cover missions.”

Chuckles SDCC 2023 Exclusive

Since this is figure is an SDCC 2023 exclusive, beginning Wednesday July 19 at 5:30 PM PT, you’ll need to find the Hasbro Pulse booth #3213 where you’ll get a “one-time use code, which can be scanned for preorder on HasbroPulse.com.” The limit is one set per code. Like last years Dr. Mindbender exclusive, we expect that they will make the left over stock available on Hasbro Pulse.

With Chuckles being an undercover agent, he comes with accessories so he can don a disguise, like a pair of sunglasses, a manila folder filled with top secret documents, a portable cassette player, and other fun accessories like a lay and hand cuffs.

The box art looks like an old fashioned radio or TV, which is very fitting for the character.

Here is Chukles with his alternate head and a rear shot! Gotta love that classic Hawaiian shirt!

Chuckles SDCC 2023 Rumor

We are unsure what an “Armory” packout will look like just yet but Chuckles is a figure that needs a ton of weapons. One look at Chuckles and you wouldn’t have given a thought he was an undercover agent. Most undercover specialists try not to stand out too much, their interaction with the enemy is often limited, most of their efforts are concentrated on the source for information, and they don’t wear loud Hawaiian shirts. With his burly figure, Chuckles already stands out from the crowd. He has a gregarious personality that makes him the life of the party, quick-witted and possesses a natural likability. He is very conscientious of his work that he’ll volunteer for dangerous missions just to keep up his cover. He has shifted from one undercover assignment to another for so many times, no one is sure who he works for anymore. He started as an investigator at the South-eastern Insurance Group in Fort Lauderdale. He still feels a debt of allegiance there. He eventually made his way to the US Army’s Criminal Investigations Division.

GI Joe Classified Series Concept

We love to see concepts that might come to fruition and yojoearah is one of our favorites so this is what Chuckles could look like when he comes to the GI Joe Classified Series!

Crimson Strike Team Tease

You can also see the Crimson Twins and the Baroness on the box art! The Crimson Strike team is rumored to be a Hasbro Pulse Con 2023 exclusive so it’s great to get further confirmation of the rumor!

Crimson Strike Team Rumor

We could have seen this coming a mile away with the reveals of the Crimson BAT and the Crimson Viper (along with the Crimson Guard of course) that we were due up to build out the subline! We don’t have images or reveals for this set yet so we are using the versions that came with the Crimson Strike Team 2009 GI Joe Convention exclusive.

Crimson Baroness

We have seen a couple iterations of the Baroness in the GI Joe Classified Series but a Crimson version will be the cream of the crop! According to General Joes Reborn, “Crimson Strike Team Baroness uses the first 5-pack body and as such suffers from the same flaws as that figure.  She is slightly hunchbacked, her legs are spindly, and she has thin gangly arms.  The second 5-pack figure is much better and would have been my preferred choice and I don’t know why the Club didn’t use it instead.  However the one saving grace of this figure is the head sculpt.  Using the head from the second Baroness figure (the one in blue) with the square glasses was a much better choice than the original head with the wind-swept hair.  It’s a better sculpt and more fitting for the character. The paint scheme also really saves the figure.  The crimson and black with silver highlights really brings out the sculpting in the mold especially in the torso which has nice detailing in the belt and collar.  She’s got a slight tan too from the looks of her face paint (a theme for the figures in this set) and her glasses are painted gold which I really like.  It sets her face apart from the rest of the body and does a good job distracting you from the flaws of the mold.”

Crimson Twins Tomax and Xamot

We have also seen one version of the Crimson Guard Twins Tomax and Xamot and they would look amazing in crimson! According to General Joes Reborn, “The Crimson Twins are the other named figures in this set and they really are pretty spectacular in their ho-hum-ness.  These are the same figures available in the comic pack only done in the Crimson Strike Team colors.  The molds themselves are really good with the right detailing in all the right places.  The main change here is in the paint. In primarily crimson, these two look good.  There are just enough highlights of silver and black to break up the crimson and the paint applications are nearly perfect.  Like Baroness, Tomax and Xamot have a nice tan.  The flesh parts of the figures are done in a reddish tan flesh tone as though they’ve spent a lot of time in the sun, almost too much.  The arms and head are cast in this darker flesh color and the neck is painted.  The paint matches up well with the cast parts.”
