Released in October 2023 as a fan channel exclusive, the Steel Corps Troopers are an update of the original G.I. Joe Steel Brigade mail-away figure that allowed you to create your very own G.I. Joe trooper. This time, we get the Steel Brigade (or Steel Corps Troopers) in a 2-pack, with both a male AND a female trooper. While most of the gear, heads and weapons are mostly new for this set, the actual figures themselves are straight repaints of older Classified figures. Which was disappointing to some, more so with the female trooper since she only has single-jointed arms. Despite that, the 2-pack set is still a very nice addition to the Classified collection and because they come with so many accessories, it also allows for a lot of different display options and variety. Which is a reason a lot of collectors love this line so much. The jet packs included are also a good indicator that we will probably see a Grand Slam (and hopefully Starduster too!) in the line's future at some point.
The Steel Corps Troopers come packed with the following gear and accessories: (2) JUMP jetpacks, a high-powered rifle with removable ammo magazine clip, an assault rifle with removable magazine clip, (2) knives, a machine gun with removable ammo clip, a sound suppressor, (2) alternate helmet heads, (2) pistols, (4) jetpack blast effects, (9) weapon blast effects and (4) removable shoulder armor pads (two for the male trooper and two for the female trooper). Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

I love the accessories, but the figures are just lacking I think. The female needs the updated double jointed arms and the male is boring and the vest too restrictive and causes issues with weapons. I think they should have either fine tuned this a bit more or just made an accessory pack with the JUMPs. It got a 7 and that was generous.

Gave the set a 9. I would have preferred a more recent buck being used for the male and definitely double-joints on the female arms. Almost gave it an 8, but the amount of accessories and options elevates it to a 9, for me at least. The set also grew on me and I like it a lot more now than I did a month ago when I first opened it up.

I don't own this set - and I probably won't. Just from the looks of it, I give it an 8.

The male and female should've been offered separately.
They should've used the entire Beach Head buck for the male. |

I'm thinking we're gonna see a separate release of the male down the road. The female will probably be exclusive to this set.

Ditch the JUMP packs and toss in a golden officer head. Easy-Peasy.

Not rating because I didn't buy, but would have been more interested in a JUMP accessory pack than what was on offer here. Fingers crossed for an eventual silver pads Grand Slam or a Battle Gear pack with a JUMP in it some day.

These Midget BRIGADES!!! How dare they give us these ANgry
Dwarf Gorillas. Height jokes incoming!!! Now that's a GRUDGIN. Now to be fair, I was one of the first to make those savage Midget jokes about these figures. Also, I made tons of jokes about how their Armor makes them look like Short Gorillas. And I stand by that, the armor gives them this mono-color green Short squat look that defeats the Vibrant Blue coloring soundly. Why? Is Blue a bad color? Why would I want my Steel Brigades to be Squat Mono Green Midgets? In my opinion, the Green Gorilla He Man Squat armor is a big reason why I was repulsed at the beginning. That being said, the picture used for height comparisons was Zaranna and Lowlight. So what I actually should have learned was that Zaranna was INCREDIBLY TALL. Lesson Learned, Zaranna belongs in the clouds. Overall Set rating? So many accessories I don't want I don't want both figures. My rating is thus pretty biased I don't like this set. 6/10 xxxxx Male xxxxxx You don't have to accept that your Steel corp figure is an Angry gorilla, LIBERATE THOSE VESTS if you have too. Underneath that Angry Gorilla cauldrons is a normal Cookie monster Beach head body top Blue Steel Brigade. Truly.... outrageous!!! Mind the puny Tooth pick legs though. I'm still not that impressed with this figure, but it's okay. Male 7-6/10 xxxxxxxFemale xxxxxxx Not great. Even if you remove the pauldrons so she's not an angry Gorillaness, her Arms parts are not great. Her legs and arms are meh. Overall the Female Midget is a grudgin. She looks good but is the lesser dwarf of the two. She honestly needs a Beard, but a Dwarf can't be choosey Female 6/10 flat. If she was her own release, I would have given a 6.5 At least she looks good?????? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx And if you have something to say against my opinion THEN LET US OPEN A CHAPTER IN THE BOOK OF GRUDGES. FOR A TRUE DWARF NEVER LEAVES A GRUDGE UNPAID. ------A Dwarf MIDGET MANIAC.
