Anybody else hope they slow down some next year? I liked this line because there weren't that many figures coming out. Looking at the checklist there were over 50(!) figures released this year. There were only 57 total released over the first three years of the line.

I'm pretty sure they've said they are going to slow down, but at the same time, the last batch was probably one of the biggest batches they've put up all at once.

It wouldn't be so bad if they actually held to the release dates they put forth, because then it might be like three figures that release in a month, but then there's times a bunch of shit gets moved around and like, 6 individual figures, and three deluxe figures or 2 or 3 packs all start dropping within a month or two, that's what makes it feel crazy.

It was awful. Everything Hasbro was hitting early. I was getting new figures in like every couple of days. My wife was getting annoyed since she thought I was just going on a spending spree until I told her it was a bunch of preorders shipping months ahead of when they were supposed to. I haven't bought any new figures since early November just because of that.

Luckily, GI Joe is one of only a couple lines I seriously collect any more. And even at that, I'm really selective about the Joe side, I mostly just collect the Cobra figures and whatnot.

What's worse, is I am an army builder fag, so I want multiples of all the Cobra generics. Although some I've limited myself to just two or three. When the line was a lot slower, I was buying 10 or more of figures like the original Alley Vipers, BATs, Cobra troopers, etc.

The three I really want to see, but I'm afraid we wont because they're tied to something more vehicley are

Astroviper (with backpack, stand, and jet effects parts it'd be a great deluxe figure)
Interrogator (again, I don't know if they'd make the copter part, but I'd love to see just the figure. But if they did the copter backpack and alternate heads to make a little air corps from them...)
And Lamprey. But I mean, it's kind of tied to the Hydrofoil, which I can't imagine getting outside of a haslab.

There's just way too much I want to see them do, still. I hope they go into the crazy sublines. They've gone deep into Python Patrol, Tiger Force, etc, even dipping their toes in the Pursuit of Cobra line, but I really want to see them do stuff like Battle Corps, Eco Warriors, Star Brigade, Mega Marines, etc. and more of the early/mid '90s stuff.

Stopped collecting after our local TRU closed, last Joe I bought was the DG 2013 recolors and 2014 ones for 1:18 scale joes. We've had an Ollies for 3 years here now that ironically opened up in our old TRU building. Picked up a non-retro lady jaye, dusty, zarana and sgt slaughter. Checked my local Ross's as well but no luck there. Walmarts here only have retro baroness and I found a single Scrap Iron. I see there are some classifieds on clearance on walmart.com, some of the preorders look cool but 24+ a pop is rough for a wagie. I check my Ollies at least once a week anything decent, of the snake eyes movies figs, are any of them worth picking up? I've considered just grabbing a snake eyes and storm shadow, especially since theyre 5 bucks each and 20% off all toys right now for christmas.

I think all the movie figures are worth it, except maybe Storm Shadow, I really don't like the off-white they used. Normal Storm Shadow probably isn't that hard to find since retro Storm Shadow is a little more popular. The movie one is probably fine tho and I'm just being a sperg.

The movie figures are okay. Certainly not bad to pick up for $5 a pop. Baroness has a nice butt on her and you can use her as a different female Cobra after you get a proper one. Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow both lack boot swivel which limits getting them into more dynamic ninja-esque poses but for $5 it's fine. SE works as a decent V2 stand in and if you get a normal Storm Shadow, you could use the movie one as a generic Arashikage ninja. I never opened my Scarlett so I can't tell you how she compares.

So what's the backstory of Nunchuck, Helix, Buzzer, Scrap-Iron, and Ripper? Local gamestop has their figures in stock and I'm not familiar with the line's lore and shit....

Nunchuck has no real backstory or lore (and IIRC doesn't even have a face as it's never been shown). All that's known about him is that he studied martial arts in Colorado, was headhunted for Ninja Force by Storm Shadow when SS was a good guy, and he's a Guido given his Italian name.

Ripper's a dumb brute Aussie that is also a teetotaler and only drinks grape soda.

Buzzer is basically Hunter Thompson, if Hunter went native and joined the Hells Angels full time while writing about them.

Helix is basically Solid Snake but female and none of the convoluted backstory that the US military created and put on the GI Joe team.

Scrap-Iron basically builds bombs and missile launchers for Destro, but at the same time spends most of his days being Cobra Commander's personal snitch and who CC pays to pretend to be his friend.

Some of those are worth getting just based on the strength of the figures alone. Scrap-Iron is probably in the top 10, maybe top 5 figures released this year for most people.

Nunchuck looks cool, but I don't actually have him yet.

Ripper is great, Buzzer is ok, but the way they implemented his glasses was pretty bad.

Helix is pretty weak. Her weapons and stuff are actually pretty cool, but the figure build and especially the paint and detail aren't the greatest. One of the weaker releases of the year, honestly.

But he can easily be bribed by other high-ranking Cobras to side with them instead.

Scrap-Iron would probably be more valuable to Cobra if kept in a lab building anti-tank weapons, but he wants to use his inventions personally and be in the field blowing things up.

Low Light has an interesting history. His original file card was considered too extreme so it was toned down. His original origin was that he was afraid of the dark as a kid so his dad forced him to spend the night in a county dump with a rifle and not to come home without 20 dead rats.

Random thoughts but I'm new these Classified figures and I really dig them. I grew up with 2000s Joes, so I don't have much nostalgia for the 80s designs that they've really been leaning into after the first few waves, but I like them a lot more than the generic high tech modern looking stuff that Vala Action Force does. They seem high quality, but the designs are really boring.

I've been tempted to grab some of his figures, but I always feel like they cost too much for what's essentially a generic trooper. Like even his villains have no really interesting design elements to em. Just spiked armor, skulls and pointy weapons.

Meanwhile, Grunt, probably *the* most generic of G.I. Joe characters, actually has some interesting stuff going on with his gear and the PDA on his chest. My only complaint with him is that his name is on his vest, making so that I'd actually have to remove that if I tried to use him as the obvious troop builder he was designed to be. It's a nice touch and the paint apps for it are really clean, but I wish it was a removable accessory or something so I could just pop it off instead of stripping it's paint.

I found a Dr. Mindbender listing on Aliexpress for only $27 which seems kind of outrageous to me, but we did see Serpent Supreme Cobra Commander and Regal Cobra Commander on Aliexpress with minor, fixable defects so I guess anything's possible.

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804700733610.html

Should I take a chance for that price? It could be a batch of defects / overstock / boxless figures made it's way to Ali, but it could also be a deceptive seller. I don't know what to expect since this is the first time I've seen Mindbender being offered for less than $150.

I love my Vipers, but the Troopers in this line are just fantastic and come with way better loadouts. Though the Viper 3-pack is an instant mook squad and the gear in that one isn't too bad. If you want them to be generic back ground baddies, the Viper 3 pack is probably the quickest, easiest and cheapest way to go. If you want these guys to feel more individualized in their squad, then an Officer and the Valk pack would work better as they'd all feel more unique (and the Valk girls are also fantastic).

Long story short, just get all of em. They're all great figures.

There was an issue, but it wasn't as common as that guy was making it out to be. Basically, there was a shipment early on that was sent out in which both figures had black-skinned arms under their arm bracers, but the figure had the white-skinned torso, whereas you were supposed to get one white skinned guy and one black-skinned guy. I think it only happened to one or two retailers, Gamestop being one of them, I got mine from BBTS, and mine didn't have that issue.

But realistically, if we wanted to really fuss over the Vipers, I just didn't like the more dull, muted colors of the outfits of the figures in the 3-Pack. The single Cobra Island version had much more rich colors, and it is the better looking figure for the standard Vipers. Though, the Officer in the 3-Pack is pretty nice.

That's honestly pretty tough to say, because we're up to some 120 figures in the line, and I think you can count on one hand the number of truly bad figures in the line, and the number of "meh" figures on the other hand. Most of the rest are pretty standout.

It also really depends on if you're looking primarily for Cobra or Joe figures, or a mix of both. I mostly collect the Cobra side, so if I gave you a list of the top 10 figures in the line, they'd probably all be Cobra. It also really depends on if you prefer the older cartoon looks, or the newer, updated Classified looks.

If I had to give you a small list of Joes I like, I'd probably say any of the Snake Eyes (except the movie one), Grunt, Outback, Rock 'n Roll, and maybe stalker are among my favorites.

Among Cobra...that's a big list. Range Viper is probably up near the top (but harder to get a hold of) A BAT is worth getting (probably the OG black and yellow or the Arctic version are best) Tele-Viper, Zartan, Major Bludd, Crimson Alley Viper, even the Cobra Island OG Viper and the Cobra Island Trooper (and the Cobra Infantry) are worth getting.

Its so hard to decide, because the line just keeps getting better and better. If I had to get rid of all of my collection except 10 figures, I literally don't think I could do it. I probably couldn't even get it down to 20 or even 30.

Well, 50 is just shy of half the figures in the line. There's definitely at least 50 worthwhile figures, though. It also knocks the total way down if you skip out on some of the sub-lines like Python Patrol and Tiger Force, and the most of the Crimson Figures which are all just repaints, unless you happen to end up liking those repaints more than the original, or something.

Like, I might be in the minority, but I liked Tiger Force Outback more than the standard Outback, and I liked Python Patrol Copperhead more than the standard one too.

A couple of the early sets had a figure with white skinned tone neck but black skin tone arms and it triggered a bunch of neckbeard racists. It's literally not even an issue unless you remove the figure's bracers and that actually requires specific effort to do. Hell, the figure even has a scarf so their neck could be hidden as well so you don't even see any skin. While it was a legit QC mix up, it's only an actual problem if you go looking for it. 90% of the packs turned out fine though.

Pic related has the Viper 3 pack, one with bracers and the other without.

>>10791122
Yea, that's really my only complaint with the set overall. I don't mind the grey officer, but the slightly washed out regular Vipers just don't have the same pop as the original CI version. I know *something* had to change between releases, but I would've preferred maybe less paint overall or something so at least the colors stayed consistent. It's not bad if the *only* Vipers you have is the 3 pack, but with the CI one involved, it stands out.

Though as long as we're complaining about Vipers, my biggest complaint about them is their overall boring loadout. They have pistol, rifle, big ugly backpack and that's about it. I guess the scarf and goggles also count, but they're more clothes then gear. It would've been nice if that backpack (or really all backpacks in the line) could actually hold something. Like having the grenades be removable and stored in the pack or something.

It's still a great figure, but other troopers have way better gear.

I had the OG Chuck Norris Outback as a kid so the red hair, white shirt look is always my preferred version. But his TF look is pretty nice, and the tiger t-shirt is so ridiculous it loops around to being awesome.

But I agree on TF Recondo having the better look compared to his OG version. The shirt with the green striped camo pants just feels more "army man" then his regular safari look. That said, if the Retro release has a sturdier gun, I might just double dip on him for the gun alone. The TF Recondo's rifle is like a damn wet noodle, and having him two hand it actually bends it because his joints are stronger then the gun is stiff.

She looks like a former model in her 40s, not one who is still young, if that’s what they were going for fine but it isn’t the covergirl people expected, she just needs a redo in line with the Duke/scarlett we are getting.

They already made an Eel, and it was a great figure, unless you're talking about a different version.

I'm not normally one to go overboard and say a face don't look good, but that face just did *not* work for Covergirl. I've seen it swapped onto other Marvel Legends bodies, and it works as an older boss lady type figure. But Covergirl was supposed to be an in-her-prime super model turned tank mechanic/pilot. Between the almost comically exaggerated cheekbones and the awful make up job, nothing about her looks in her prime, or like an actual model. Seeing as how one of the things that literally sold me on this line was Scarlet's fantastic face sculpt and more importantly paint work, Covergirl coming out as she did was a bit of a surprise.

Something happened in that wave with her and Falcon as they were both no where near the quality of figures we saw prior to them, nor that we've seen since. Those two are easily on the lower end of the line in terms of looks and QC and could really benefit from a complete do-over.

I’ll grant you that the sculpt is different from the other females like Scarlett (who’s definitely prettier imo).

It's a shame too, because I am the sort of retard who'll buy and collect both. I was in heaven for a brief period, getting a Stinger Driver for the first time, easy to find modern troopers and an officer which I was lacking from my modern figures. The o-ring 2-packs were and still are overpriced, but it's still the cheapest troopers I'm gonna get, as well as SE+SS. CC had a nice new head and some cool accessories. The modern stuff was more reasonably priced, but the distribution wasn't great, I never found Scarlett or Destro. But I liked the new HISS and FANG drivers, and they were plenty easy to get.

The bar's really low for me as you might guess, and it still feels like they somehow can't clear it when they can't keep a line on the shelf.

Yeah, not sure what else to do. The other side is fine, but the left side, if you’re looking at the HISS is still slightly up and not resting where it should. Makes me worried about the Dragonfly’s canopy covers now.

Got Classified Retro Snake Eyes today. He's so fucking dope. I didn't already have Stalker so I didn't know how great the body mold he uses is. He could have easily been completely black but the painted bits of dark green all over it are a really nice touch. Just standing in a default pose, all geared up, machine gun in the air he looks ready to fuck someone's shit up.

Its based on a vintage version of the O-ring Cobra Commander that had an error so that the Cobra logo looked like it had Mickey Mouse ears. They did the error version to include in with the HISS Tank as one of the tiers, and everyone sort of assumes they're going to release this vintage inspired CC later again in the line with the corrected logo.

I don't know that he really has much backstory anyway. He first appeared in the Pursuit of Cobra line, back somewhere around 2011, or 2012, or something like that. He was just kind of a generic guy who could track people through jungles, and darkness, and used mostly traditional weapons like knives and a bow and arrow, etc.

He was pretty much completely inspired by the Predator from the movie.....Predator.

This was the line that killed gi joe collecting for me as a kid. Clean Sweep was the last Joe I got till classified came around. I was in high school and feeling like I was kind of too old for them anyway, but wasn't ready to let them go just yet. Then I distinctly remember picking up an eco warrior Barbeque package in kmart and just staring at it thinking yeah, its time I stop with these. Literally ended my childhood right there. It wasn't just joes, that was the end of toys for me all together.

I imagine if you were that old, you were just "out" of toys anyway. I wasn't in high school until the late 90's, so I loved all the goofy shit that came out in the early 90's. Eco Warriors, Mega Marines, Ninja Force, Star Brigade, etc, was all cool shit to me. But with Joes, people seem to be firmly in two camps: They love the ARAH era early stuff/mid-late 80's stuff, but hate the 90's stuff, or they think the ARAH stuff is boring, and love all the weird 90's stuff.

I'm more in the latter.

Although, I came back to Joes in 2007-ish once 25th Anniversary came out. I collected until maybe 2012, so I got a lot of stuff from 25th Anni, Rise of Cobra, and Pursuit of Cobra. A lot of the 1/18th Modern Era stuff was really good, but I kinda jumped out when Retaliation (the second move) dropped, and only got back in with Classified when it started a few years ago.

I got both of them from BBTS several months ago.

I don't think the BATs are really based on anything. They probably just made them as hordes for Snow Job to fight. Snow Serpents are a pretty well known Cobra Army builder, but the Classified versions were beefed up with tons of extra, re-imagined accessories and stuff, like the wolf pelt.

The Arctic BAT is maybe the best BAT they've done. It has tons of accessories and parts unique to that version that none of the other BATs have, like the unique head and chest plate, the sniper rifle, the chainsaw arm, and some of the other parts and armor strapped to his arms and legs.

ARAH kind of redeemed itself with 93' Battle Corps, that line had some really great molds and I love V6 of CC. But it didn't have the vehicle support and ARAH shit the bed with the second star brigade wave when they introduced aliens & shit. ARAH died with that crap, fucking nobody asked for aliens. I remember seeing a whole four foot section of Star Brigade Joe's at Target & WalMart full of alien figures that no one was buying then ARAH died all of a sudden after that.

I think once Hasbro saw the sales of Star Brigade combined with Exo-Squad coming out was the final nail in ARAH. They were too dug in with Star Brigade and along comes Exo-Squad that does futuristic space military a million times better. To this day there still hasn't been anything like Exo-Squad, that was a fucking legendary toy line.

And having a peg-hole in their back would be nice for some scabbards and backpacks that can hold swords/knives/bows.

So is there some trick to getting Shadow Hunter's clear mask to stay on securely or is it just a purely a loose friction connection?

On mine while the mask will stay on with some massaging, a good shake and it falls right off. The animal skull mask is super secure in comparison.

Heat her up, pop apart the torso, then carve out some space around the socket for a forward crunch. I used a Dremel, could probably carve it with a hobby knife or exacto though. Do it to both to upper and lower ball-sockets of the stomach piece for best results. Just don't cut up the actual space where the ball rests or it will be loose. You just want to create room for the peg to lean.

I mean, lucky you I guess? I don't have much problem outside of Bumblebee, I'm sick of the AWE, and it feels like a bad fit overall for Bee's color-scheme and shape.

They seem like kind of expensive vehicles for someone who doesn't care for Transformers though. You could probably resell the vehicles and keep the figs.

I think the allure is pure fantasy nostalgia brought to life. Ever since that 1st Gi Joe vs Transformers comic in '87, people have been dying for Transformers that GI joes could drive.
I just think Hasbro has leaned to heavy on nostalgia instead of aesthetic. Nemesis should have neen Soundwave/Thunder Machine and Hound should have been the AWE Striker instead of making robots that only look good from the front.
Even if doesn't make sense Starscream should be the Skystriker

They squeezed some Aliens homages into the PoC line too with Duke getting the Pulse Rifle and the Iron Grenadier getting the Smart Gun. They had a ridiculous amount of fun with that line and they seemed to have a lot of freedom to try some crazy things.

>>10799055
The ME line really milked the hell out of the AWE and I can understand being tired of it. I somehow managed to collect three different versions of the damn thing despite not being a particular fan of it. How they didn't start with a Vamp Hound I'll never know, and I'm not all that crazy about a Mobat Prime either. I liked HISS Megatron and even Thundermachine Soundwave worked for me, but at this point the only other crossover figure I'd be willing to buy would be a Stiletto Starscream. Though if they do make Starscream, it'll probably be as a Rattler....which I'd also probably pick up in all honesty.

Shadow Tracker is supposed to be a former Range Viper who went a tad bit too feral/cannibalistic for Cobra's taste. So he was taken out of his Range Viper outfit and basically transitioned into the role of being an assassin for Cobra who they send into wilderness/jungle environments when they need someone killed.

IIRC Hama didn't actually realize Tunnel Rat had been modelled on him until after he'd already written his filecard.

While I get him struggling with the idea of including real people like Sgt Slaughter and The Fridge in GI Joe, It's a shame he didn't really care for Serpentor or Duke, especially considering how well he wrote Serpentor.

A lot of his distaste for Duke was because he replaced Stalker and Hawk. Hama used to hate how they just replaced characters with a specialty, like Stalker as the Ranger or Rock n Roll as the Heavy, with Beachhead as the Ranger or Roadblock as the Heavy. You can also see that with Serpentor replacing Cobra Commander.

Its because, at the end of the day for these toy companies, the cartoons and comics and stuff were just commercials to sell more toys. That's all they cared about (for better or for worse) for the "source" materials. Every toy company in the 80s and 90s was swapping in and out new character among all their franchises. They didn't really care about the character's integrity, just get 'em out so we can repaint a toy and sell it again.

Larry Hama's often overrated. Sunbow's where it's at. The comic spent too much time on the original 13, and then Larry becomes very reluctant to add in new characters. He makes Snake Eyes his self insert and spends a lot of time ignoring other team members. It's bummer if you like guys like Duke or Shipwreck.

Hasbro probably doesn't allow the vehicles to be too big without them being a Haslab. It sort of means we'll probably never see a Starscream who turns into any of the iconic planes or jets.
