Released in July 2022, Croc Master & Fiona bring us our second deluxe figure assortment in the Classified line. Despite Croc Master being a relatively obscure villain for a lot of Joe fans, the Classified figure is so well done that it managed to grab the attention of a lot of those collectors. Fiona, Croc Master's giant crocodile sidekick, is an amazing figure in its own right and is reason enough alone to pick up the set.
Croc Master comes loaded with the following gear and accessories: a removable oxygen tank pack with breathing hose, a whip, a spiked chain leash and spiked harness, a hunting knife, a pistol, a giant meat hook, an articulated pet crocodile (Fiona) and (2) baby crocodiles (Georgie and Diablo the albino baby croc). 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!!!

Had to vote 10, not because the figure was executed perfectly (although it was), but because it came completely out of left field during a period when we collectively took it as a matter-of-course that we'd be just getting the A and B tier characters. Very ballsy move on Hasbro's part.

That's a great point. I gave him a 10 because he is awesome, but also because he was always one of my favorite Joe figures when I got him in early '87. And the Classified team really did him right.
And Fiona? Forget about it! Even if you don't like Croc Master, Fiona makes the set worth getting.

I agree with the comments. It is an incredible figure, and Fiona is amazing! A perfect set, that I was definitely not expecting. My favorite 2 figures from 1987 were Croc Master and Outback. Now we already have them in 6” scale, which I would have never guessed so early in the line. And yes I give the set a 10 as well.

Wasn't going to post because some threads deserve to be conflict-free. Don't they? Fiona looks fantastic. She gets the bulk of the credit. Croc Master looks too small to me. Like Bane's kid brother with his little lizard. I'm a horror movie fan. CM should be and look like a horror tale, the last guy on earth that the Joes, Cobras, or 'Noks would ever want to be around. To me, he should intimidate the Z-twins, Road Pig, and especially the O3 dreadnoks. He'd be the dragon who adores and abducts the princess and only one brave knight is willing to go after her. Of course, I'm thinking Lady Jaye and Flint here, but that's me.

When I first took him out of the package and set him up next to my other Joe figures, I also noticed he was not as tall as I thought he'd be. But it ended up growing on me and I figured not every muscular guy is tall. In fact, a lot of bodybuilders are like 5'3"-'5'6", so I just accepted the fact that Croc Master is probably about 5'10" - 6'0", but completely ripped and all roided out. He still looks intimidating AF to me lol Now, when Big Boa is finally in our hands I do expect him to be around Gung-Ho's height!

He's one of my favorites plus he is flawless in design which is the only time I give out scores of 10, it's cool to see someone so obscure in the line so soon because it leaves the line open for other interesting characters

I give this set a 9, only because the whip and chain leash are too stiff and rigid. Bendy material would have made all the difference. The leash, in particular, is egregious... you can only set him up in certain positions, or else the rigidity of the leash will just pull him off balance.
Fiona is a fantastic figure. Not quite as good as Timber, in my opinion, but that can be expected with her having much shorter legs.
