Released in November 2021 as a special Target Cobra Island exclusive, Barbecue is a very popular figure that many Classified fans have been eager to add to their collections. Barbecue is another figure that achieves that perfect blend of classic and modern aesthetics.
Barbecur comes with the following gear and accessories: a large fire axe, a small fire axe, an extinguisher pistol, a water hose and a water tank backpack. 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 think I'm going to give this figure an 8. I love it and the only real shortcomings that I can think of are the lack of an unmasked Gabriel Kelly head and maybe the lack of some water/fire extinguisher effects that would have been cool. I also would have preferred they used someone else's buck other than Destro's since it makes him fairly tall. But then I guess who's to say Barbecue wasn't taller than the average Joe, right?

I gave this figure a 9. It's a great figure and even if you don't like having a firefighter figure in a military line, you can't deny that this is a fantastic figure and a great representation of the original. I only mark it down one point for not having an unmasked head sculpt. Hose spray effects, like Darth Brett suggested, would have been nice, but I won't mark him down for that, when no one else in the line was coming with effect pieces at that point. This is one of my favourite figures of the line and he looks really good standing next to the rest of the Joes on my shelf.

He's an 8. No unmasked head kinda hurts him and I see no reason for this guy to even be a Joe (he was always trotting around a flamethrower for me) but it's a good figure.

I gave him a 10. It's another fine example of that perfect line between classic and update even without the unmasked head. Without question, you know who he is and he looks great alongside the other Classified Joes. It's a shame he warmed sooooooo hard.

I see no way how this is any higher than a 5.
First - no Joe except Snake Eyes should ever come with a masked head. Joes don't hide who they are. Unforgiveable in my eyes. Second - he's 90% a repaint of Destro. Too big, too bulky. Third - the vest overlay is just a lazy, lazy way to create a unique figure on a repainted base. Not a fan of the bulky vests on anyone... but this is easily the most offending vest in the line.

8, he's kind of boring until you get him in your hands then you see there some interesting things going on, especially with the deep oranges or texture of his suit
It's obvious the only complaints you'll find is that there's no separate helmet or headsculpts but for some I would that was 5 or 6 he seems to be one of the hidden gems |

Honestly, BBQ is not a handsome Joe. Even Falcon says so. The mask makes him cooler, but no way this Joe is more in-demand than 20-30 other Joes ... and that's my issue with him. This seemed more like wish fulfillment for the design team and that's fine, just not a go-to for me. His design was well done, updated out of the '80s but still rooted in the original design. They just needed to release the Viper directly after him, to capitalize on the infamous, "The viper is coming" line from the cartoons.

10. I like him a lot, great accessories. The only other feature that would have been good, would of been an unmasked head.
