The Story

Metal-Head holds a landmark place in the G.I. Joe Classified Series as the first official Iron Grenadiers figure Hasbro has released in the modern 6-inch collector line. Originating from the vintage Real American Hero era in 1990, his Classified debut — numbered #118 in the series — was one of the most talked-about releases in recent memory, generating passionate debate across the collector community and cementing Destro's faction as a fully realized force within the line. If you're building out a Classified Iron Grenadiers shelf, this Deluxe release is the cornerstone piece.

This item is offered in vintage condition — the box presents with honest shelf wear consistent with age and storage. The front window displays the figure and full accessory spread clearly, including multiple missiles, an alternate helmeted head, weapons, and hands. The box back (showing "113" on-panel, though community sources consistently cite the series number as #118) features dynamic action photography and detailed callout insets highlighting the Destro-branded backpack and articulated launcher arm. The side panel carries a striking full comic-art illustration of Metal-Head brandishing a knife — a collector display highlight in its own right. The bottom panel retains its clear display window.

The Grade, Explained

Every graded piece is our honest in-house call — not third-party slabbed. Here's exactly where this one lands, and why.

  1. CC-10 Pristine
  2. CC-9 Near Mint
  3. CC-8 Excellent
  4. CC-7 Very Good
  5. CC-6 Good
  6. CC-5 Fair

This piece: CC-7 — Very Good

Noticeable but moderate wear. Card may have a crease or two that doesn't break the surface. Bubble secure but may show yellowing or cloudiness. Some corner wear. Still displays well on card.

Grade is Jay's Toys & Games' own opinion of condition — these vintage figures are not third-party (AFA/CAS) graded. Grading is subjective; please review all photos closely before making a purchasing decision.

The Stuff You’re Probably Wondering Before You Smash ‘Buy Now’

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

How Fast Do We Ship?

Most in-stock orders placed before 12 PM CST ship the same day. We’re label-printing, box-packing machines — without skimping on quality. Your tracking number will probably show up before you’ve even closed the tab.

How Do We Pack Orders?

Every item gets collector-grade treatment: bubble wrap, proper padding, and zero envelope crimes. We pack like your grail’s riding shotgun with us — damage rate is under 1%.

Are You Actually Collectors Too?

Yep. We’ve been hunting plastic treasures since the ‘90s. We speak fluent collector (MOC, BAF, grail hunting), we’ve camped outside stores for midnight releases, and we run this place like the shop we always wished existed. Professional enablers at your service. 😎

What's Your Return Policy?

30 days to decide if it’s true love. Not happy? Full refund to your original payment method. Damaged? We replace or refund fast. Just keep items in the condition you got them, and we’ll make it right — because the only drama in collecting should be choosing a display pose. One exception: trading card game product is final sale, since a sealed box can’t be verified once it leaves our hands.

Pre-Orders: How They Work

Calling dibs costs you $0 today — we only charge your card when it ships. No awkward “I paid months ago” limbo. Mixing in-stock + pre-orders? In-stock ships now; pre-orders ship together once the last one lands, and shipping’s charged on each leg (pro tip: check ship dates before combining pre-orders). Dates can shift — we’ll keep you posted faster than Spider-Man slings webs. And if we ever can’t deliver (rare), you’re not charged a dime.

Still Stumped? Let’s Talk.

We’re real collectors who actually answer — no bots, no scripts, no hold music. Shoot us a message and we’ll get back faster than you can refresh your tracking number.
