Many Classifieds don’t have side arms. I generally grab some from another character to beef them up. I’d like to find a cool set of firearms for Serpentor. Throwing snakes and blasting guys with your chariot is nice in all. Needs a couple guns.
Thwipp!
Valaverse Action Force does really well with their gun packs and accessory packs. Alot of them come with side arms, and the accessory packs come with holsters for the pistols as well as knife belts and tac vests and things. And they're not expensive. I bought a shit ton of them and I love them. And they work pretty well with Joe figures, any 6 inch scale line really.
How can we get Classified to make a bear? Deluxe or small vehicle price. Whatever. Freaking Four Horsemen are delivering a bear for the 6.5-7” scale Legions in 2025. It’s $120+. I’d pay for appropriate scale/Timber articulation Classified Bear.
Lenny/Emily…How can we make this happen?
Thwipp!
Thanks for all the responses about your go-to Snake Eyes - I think 00 is my favorite for sure, but that retro one has really smooth ROM and is just a nice figure overall. I don't mind the first wave version either - the sci-fi weapons got some heat at the time but it's a nice change-up from the 00's realistic load-out. I think I'm gonna swap to 00 and gray Timber for a bit. I just like rotating the display with different versions and they haven't released a bad Snake Eyes yet. (And Trunks, I agree that the movie Snake Eyes is a really great figure - I didn't love the movie but all of the figures were really well done, and he fits right in with the collection of other armors as just another suit option.)
Realizing as everyone is posting that Falcon isn't alone in not having a side arm, but he really does feel under-geared compared to a lot of the others. I have two sets of the Steel Brigade sets so I have no shortage of extra weapons to share with other figures, but Falcon definitely felt like he got shorted. Needed at least one other gun.
My project of the night is wondering if they'll ever do another version of Destro. The first version has good joints but mine has some dings to his helmet and weird paint on his chest so I've never been super happy with him, but I bought the retro carded version twice and both have completely jammed up hips. (I just spent a half hour trying to heat and loosen one of them for like the fifth time and I think all I did was increase the stress marks on the ball joint.) I've had fewer stuck hips on newer waves so I'm wondering if a re-release of some kind would be an upgrade or if we'd just get the same body again. I prefer the all-silver gloves of the retro version but never like displaying a figure that doesn't actually work, y'know?
Also never realized that all three Zartans have different colored eyes. I kinda love that Zartan, specifically, has different eye colors.
Huh. I’d totally buy that set.
Right? Like... I've got plenty of Snake Eye's figures but you give me glow in the dark red Snake Eye's and Polar Bear 2-pack and I am 100% in.

Perhaps they could recreate this:
As long as they’re doing anniversary figures, why not?
Received the Stinger yesterday. Thanks to the roof and doors, it feels more filled out than the VAMP, but I know it's just an illusion. It comes with the same blast effects as Scrap Iron, but the ones for the firing missiles have no cannons to come from. They can attach to the missiles, but the rack won't support them. Unless I'm missing something obvious. I've transferred the Ferret driver to the passenger seat, to free up the Ferret for Firefly and eventually squeeze that vehicle into my display. But I don't think this Stinger will EVER make it into my current display without removing about 20 figures. I think I really gotta cut off vehicle purchases now.
Yeah... I skipped the Stinger for exactly that reason. The Cobra vehicles feel a little easier to skip as well in part because their drivers are just nameless drones. The Joe vehicles are harder to pass on when the driver is a named character.
For real, if the Tiger Paw had come out first I might have skipped the Ferret - because it's just a generic "Cobra operative" driver type. But the Tiger Paw has Wreckage with it. That's fun. Of course they cleverly waited to announce the Tiger Paw until I already had the Ferret. Luckily they didn't do that with the Stinger.
But the space for vehicles is a huge concern with this line as it goes on.
I haven't backed the Rattler yet straight up because of space. I probably will because that will give me one aircraft for each side, but definitely going to need to cut back on vehicles going forward. I picked up the Stinger on impulse and it arrived today, but I just moved the VAMP and HISS tank to my basement studio because the office is too cramped, and the studio is NOT a great place to display stuff. Mostly storage these days.
Amazon re-estimated the delivery date of retro troopers to Nov 4th. Not that I really care but.. just saying.
I collected a LOT of the modern 1:18 Joe lines, but I drew the line at vehicles because I knew they’d take up so much space. 1:18 vehicles. And now here we are.
Amazon pushed back Road Pig and Raptor for me. After their shenanigans with my Doc figure I might switch to an order from Pulse instead if they mess with the release date a bunch this time. Not in a rush, just annoying to get all the date-changing emails.
Taking the Stinger out of the box right now and it is HILARIOUS to me how they pack these vehicles into the smallest box possible. It's like IKEA in there.
EDIT: I know I should stop buying these vehicles but they just CRUSH it with each one. The Stinger is really nice. So many little do-dads and moving parts it really brings me back to being a kid again, which is probably why I keep buying them.
