Released in October 2022 as part of Wave 9, the iconic Joe RANGER finally makes his Classified debut. Sgt. Stalker is a really nice figure that comes with a good amount of gear and accessories while also having an incredible head sculpt that has tons of character. There are Classified fans who have mentioned that they would have maybe preferred a more modern take on Stalker and thought he was too "safe" if you will, and didn't stick out enough. On the flip side of the coin, there are also fans who would have preferred a brighter, less drab and more classic looking camouflaged deco on his outfit that was closer to his 1982 figure.
Sgt. Stalker comes packed with the following gear and accessories: a rifle with removable magazine clip and belt, a sub-machine gun with removable ammo clip, a pistol, a sound suppressor, a knife, a removable backpack gun holster, a removable beret and a removable shemagh scarf. *NOTE* Interestingly, Stalker was listed on Hasbro Pulse's site as Lonzo "Stalker" Wilkinson even though he is called Sgt. Stalker on the packaging. 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!!!

9. Absolutely FANTASTIC figure and one of my favorite characters. The "Stalker Buck" has the greatest range of any so far. The soles of his feet have the perfect bend angle to pull off and hold great "creeping" poses. And those poses are SOLID. That is a feat in itself. A lot or GIJC feet use a bend to some extent. But it was perfected on the Stalker Buck.

Easy 10 for me. Head sculpt looks fantastic. Uniform updates are minor enough where he still looks like the original Stalker, just in a less cartoony way. Really appreciated that they weren't stingy with accessories and gave us a choice between a classic SMG and a more current-looking rifle to use as a primary weapon. Great looking, easy to pose figure.

Yeah, I love this figure a lot and gave him a 9 too. The only thing that stopped him from getting a 10 was I think I would have liked some more colors (maybe a brown mixed in?) or at least slighter more contrasting colors for his camo (maybe a slightly lighter green). I also ended up repainting his boots, webgear, belts and holsters all black because I thought he needed some more contrast.

The mushy camo knocked him down two points for me, just because it affects the whole figure. Otherwise Stalker is perfection.
I really hope the Classified team comes up with some better camouflage combinations going forward. When I was a kid the characters in camo were my favorite, but so far in this line they've been disappointing in one way or another. Except for the Alley Viper, of course. |

Stalker is an icon and deserved to be handled as such. I'm not a fan of his expression, the camo change, or the way his shoulders look without his gear. BUT he is Stalker ... the should-be second-in-command of the Joes ... so he gets a 9 from me. When I watch Tears of the Sun, I like to imagine *Eamonn Walker* being Stalker.

I gave him an 8. Wanted to go higher, but didn't like how old he looks and how outdated his uniform is. Either make him young in the outdated stuff, or old in newer stuff. I also hate the scarf and currently have him displayed without it. The scarf went back in the package, where it will stay until the end of time.

A 10 for me. Great sculpt especially the head and face. The accessories are fantastic. One of my top 10 favourites so far.
