Shown are pictures of both Iron Klaw and his accessories which can be seen by clicking the Title Bar of this post. Would you have wanted this figure in the line? Didn't care of the inclusion of a G.I.Joe: EXTREME! character in the 25th line up?

but he does have the 25th stand... so don't get your hopes up. Dawg99: he looks really cool i hope he's come out sometime Shockwave: Looks cool but what is his background? I know nothing about this guy. Any help please. Konigstiger: He was the bad guy in G.I. Joe: Extreme, that abortion of a Joe cartoon/toy line from 1995, after the original toy line ended. Shockwave: Ohh ok. I didnt get into that series. Thanks Dawg99: how do you keep finding all these goodies? DOC: OMG!!
This is awesome I'm at my uncles house right now with a balls slow computer and this just made the insane loading time SOOooo worth it!!
THANK YOU!! Gyre-Viper: Quote:

They're candy is the sweetest as I have been a victim of sending thousands to Singapore a few years ago. Finally kicked the habit with the help of Dr.Drew. Gyre-Viper: Quote:

ACK. Headman: I never even knew they were considering making Iron-Klaw. Was this cancelled? williamzombie: MAN!! I wish that figure would have come out! I wasn't a fan of GI JOE EXTREME at all, it was terrible, but he was the coolest looking guy they made, would love to have seen him as a 25th! Him and a Sgt Savage. Oh well... anyone at Hasbro reading this... please make thsi figure ha ha. Gyre-Viper: Quote:

This could be something entirely different than the comic pack cancelled 'Trooper.' I dunno. C.I.A.D.: Quote:

Yes Sir. Speculated to be a part of a latter comic pack whereas others thought he might even have seen a single card release.
Sad that he didn't see the light of day as he was definitely one of the "meatier" characters from the G.I.Joe: EXTREME! mythos. JohnJett: That's a crazy find. I honestly couldn't have imagined they'd make a 25th style Klaw. I guess if they can make Matt Trakker, anything is fair game, tho.
Hopefully if they ever produce this, he'll come with a desk and his cat and say "I'll get you next time, Gadget!"
I kid. gdztoyz: Oh man, I hope we still get this one... You thought all the whining about Matt Trakker's inclusion was funny... All the crying about an "Extreme" character should be downright f'in hilarious
He looks cool to me, I'd be glad to have him in my collection...matter of fact, put him in a two pack with Captain Amer- err Sgt. Savage... He was definitely one of the cooler characters out of the crazy show.
Great find! agentmorris: Quote:

Ultimately worth it for the radness, though. C.I.A.D.: Jamar Miller did an extensive write up on Iron-Klaw. JM is one of most well versed individuals when it comes to GIJ:E!, so you can take everything you read as fact.
Iron-Klaw: Declassified
 Faceless: IRON KLAW!!!!!!!!
Hasbro, if you're watching....Please release this figure! I'll buy at least 2 of every G.I.Joe product you put out from now until the day I die if you do. snakeeyes22: That's too cool.
I'm all for any new villain *characters* regardless of their origin. This guy fought nearly naked Xtreme Joe 'roid monsters for a living!
This officially trashes my potential custom plans for him until he's officially MIA for a while. Don't see him necessarily popping up in ROC since he doesn't have huge amounts of new tooling.
Thanks, Gyre, once again, you're the man. tycondrius: um I wanties :P cool cool I hope they stick to his regular colours unless this is for next years joecon set ??? rob0213: I'd really like an Iron Claw figure. It'd be cool to add him to my Cobra army. Gyre-Viper: man. Iron Klaw has totally c)(ck blocked Arctic Destro.
Dessie is gonna be pissed. Blackwaterprison77: Hey anyone here think we should do a poll regarding all the Modern era cancelled figures, and who wants them to show HASBRO?
or you think it will be more harm then good? R2FU: Glad this guy didn't come out. So did he come with an EVIL skateboard or something... To the EXTREME....
Extreme sucked as did Sigma Six. arashikage tat: Gyre you are the King of the Prototypes bro...I hope we get this Zefram: Holy crap, I'd totally buy an Iron Klaw figure! I hope Hasbro comes out with this figure down the line. It'd be a shame to let the molds go to waste. Gyre-Viper: never got into extreme myself but i'd like to see 25th versions of them definitely. COBRACOLLECTOR: wow great news
Thanks 4 the pics Gyre ! State Trooper: Darn,
I wish they'd make this guy. SNAKE EYES: Nice score Gyre, thanks for sharing the pics darth_henning: Quote:

THe characters and their backstories were interesting, but the toy molds were HORRIBLE!!!
To see them in 25th form would be awesome!
There are some great characters that should be made in a new version to give them life.
Hasbro has never let a mold go to waste in the 25th line. We'll see this guy sooner or later, and I for one can't wait. thairestauranteur: It would be cool to have a figure of Mayday too! Not too many female Joes buy Mayday would have been cool. Nemesis*Prime: Son - of - a - b****!
Crap. That's probably one of the few characters, if not the only one I wanted from the Extreme series in 25th/ME format. And from the look of the prototype Hasbro REALLY decked him out, including everything, even a removable beret. I hope we still get this figure somewhere down the line. Hell with the new ROC/POC continuity Hasbro could introduce him as a new COBRA general. Stl_Brgd_PFC_Ramar: 25th articulation GIJOE extreme pieces would be a cool addition to the GIJOE collection. I never got into GIJOE extreme but I'd be interested to see how creative Hasbro can get with tying the Extreme line in. Jay West: Are you kidding me? I just bought the Iron Klaw head from Trigate and put it on a TRU SRO IG Destro body. It's extremely cool. Gunslinger painted it up for me (can't paint). The last time he did a custom for me it was of a figure that there was no way we would ever get in 25th form - Starduster. Now I have 2 of him in 25th form - Con version and SRO... (well 3 if you count the custom).
So the lesson here is if you want an obscure Joe made, just have me commission a custom of him/her! LOL! alcoholic ewok: this looks pretty cool, thanks for sharing!
i wonder what a "finished" version would look like. didn't the character have a cape also? and would it come with an alternate head since the character was also something like the world president or something. ocab27: Dammmmmb it hurts not having these :( Gyre-Viper: Quote:

Compared to ARAH, some episodes were actually pretty dark and deep. Modern Era versions of the characters might work for them! Steel Brigade: HOLY CATS GYRE!!
You are one of the luckiest son of a biscuit's I have ever called my friend!! 
That Iron Klaw is simply AMAZING!!
Tooling exists, so now how is Hasbro going to use it in the future?
No matter what you have my glowing admiration, that IS ONE very cool addition to your already AMAZING collection!! RUNAMUCK: Ta hell wit this iron klaw abortion, don't care for these weird ass figs. that fool ain't no way part of my Joe verse, hell he looks like he belongs more in masters of the universe lol. |
