Released in November 2022, Sgt. Slaughter was revealed to fans in a very big way by none other than the man himself, Robert Remus. Met with immediate praise and considered another home run by the Classified team at Hasbro, Slaughter was released as a fan channel exclusive as a deluxe figure and come with a boatload of accessories. The Sarge is one of the first figures released in the new plastic-free packaging.
Sgt. Slaughter comes loaded with the following gear and accessories: (4) sets of different hands (a set of regular grip hands, a set of open grip grapple hands, a set of clenched fists and a set of finger pointing hands), a removable military campaign hat, a removable whistle, a swagger stick, a removable pair of sun glasses, an AK-47 rifle with removable mag and sight (a reuse of the Cobra Officer's rifle) and a special miniature Sgt. Slaughter figure on mini card (which can be removed from the card) that pays homage to the Sarge promoting his toys back in the '80s. 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!!!

An easy and perfect and well-deserved 10 for me. This IS what a 6" Sgt. Slaughter figure should be. One of my favorite figures in the line and was probably my 3rd favorite release for 2022 (behind Serpentor and Croc Master).

I actually don't like how muscular this figure is because the real man looks nothing like this, but it really does look like the Sunbow cartoon so
8 for me. It's definitely very nice.

This is the definitive Sarge. I absolutely love the figure! I easily gave him a 10! He is supposed to be a big muscular guy, like his cartoon/comic appearances. He is easily one of the best figures in the line so far. I would have liked a pistol for him, but that is not a big deal. The mini-figure he comes with is brilliant!

This is a perfect 10, from me. Looks like he walked right out of the Sunbow cartoon and into my display. He even comes with alternate hands! The removeable hat and sunglasses work really well, especially the glasses, considering they aren't pegged in, like Baroness's glasses. I love the mini figure and the swagger stick. My only nitpick, and it isn't enough to subtract even 1/10 of a point, is him coming with an AK-47. I understand the explanations... he took it from the enemy, he's using it for training the Joes, etc... but I would still have rather he came with a different gun.
Edit: One other nitpick... he doesn't come with a saluting hand. Even the real Sgt. Slaughter was surprised at that omission.

Few figures deserve a 10, and this one of them! The only thing that could make the ole Sarge better is if they ever get around to making the Triple T tank!

I've never seen the figure, so I'm only basing this on images ... but ... I liked his appearance in ARAH more than Sunbow and would like to have seen him in full fatigues (not a tank top). Also, he would have been the perfect figure to give an American flag to ... as well as an Army duffel. That point aside, he looks great as both an homage to Sunbow, to his original 3-3/4", and to the mental memory of wrestlers.
