Iron Klaw himself probably has one of the coolest and most dynamic villain designs in the entire world of GI Joe. The character designs are good and the toys are colorful. Taken as a 90s superhero toy line in the vein of Kenner or Toy Biz, it’s pretty decent. It does kind of succeed as its own thing, though. Some of the figures are terribly pre-posed and don’t even feature moving legs. It doesn’t gel with GI Joe’s standard super articulation and interchangeable accessories. GI Joe Extreme is not a good GI Joe toy line. This is the worst GI Joe toy line Hasbro has ever done. It had some decent releases, but it’s a GI Joe toy line, so that’s expected. This was a soulless cash-grab toy line that no one put any sort of love or thought into.
