FOR REAL!!!!!!
Oh, another movie figure I would consider in six inch is the Paris Baroness.
But yeah... that Roadblock and the Duke were just awful.
The Pursuit of Cobra line was my biggest period of Joe collecting until Classified started. I always wanted Joe figures as a kid, but it was one of the lines that didn't make the cut with my mom. So PoC came out when I had a car & free time to drive around town to look for them. So many awesome designs! That Beachhead was one of my favorite figures for a long time. But the most unique figure I remember that I'd like to see in Classified was the Jungle Viper.
They packed out those bubbles in POC and hopefully Classified as we continue.
Thwipp!
That Jungle viper would be a deluxe and priced at 34.99 by todays Classifieds standard.
Hey everyone. Haven't posted on here for awhile. I think the last I posted was when I got the Dragonfly Haslab in. Which is awesome. But I hadn't been buying the line for a little bit in 2024. I was trying to decide how I wanted to proceed, and what i wanted to collect.
But, I have been buying again lately, getting the Retro card figures. I always want the figures in this line to look as much like the 80's toys as possible. So, the retro carded series of Classifieds is for me.
So, I think I will only collect the Retro Card series going forward.
To be fair, I didn't collect POC at the time - there was a window right before Classified was announced where I started trying to pick up some 3.75 figures used and relive my childhood so I did a deep dive into a lot of the redesigns to figure out who was worth buying used and Zartan struck me as being a super cool reimagining.
It's funny bordering on shameful how fast my interest in that scale dried up when Classified came along though. No regrets there.
@vicious7171 I see a bit of the current alternate BAT head in that Cobra Combat Ninja and obviously Master Chief in the Joe Trooper. However both of them would be great Classified figures, even with just mostly straight upsizing and little to no changes.
As for discussion, I get the feeling we will be doing a lot of non-Classified discussion in the first quarter of 2025 if the delays they mentioned hold true. Lots of discussion "around" Classified, and prototype leaks I'm sure, but actual releases may take a while.
@supercamel-1982 What? You aren't all in on Classified? You're not a completionist? GET OUT OF HERE!!!! (haha)
It's all good man, I'm sure we all have that happen with our collections. I know I do. I'm up and down, in and out on a bunch of lines. Classified is the only line I am trying to keep up with. All the other lines I collect are now in that spot where I only pick up what I really like, and preferably on sale.
Nightforce Tunnel Rat on sale for $10 on Walmart website.
Shooter is $15 as well. Who kept wavering on Shooter? Trunks? Time to pay the piper! (she rocks!)
Yesterday I ordered two NF Tunnel Rats and 1 ML Secret Empire Captain America to get free shipping but dang I would have gladly taken a second Shooter.
Speaking of Retaliation, Ultimate Duke and Data Viper have been mentioned and both would make amazing classified figures, personally I have a need for Cobra Combat Ninja and GI Joe Trooper:
(Although I much prefer then tan cape version)
Guess it must be a slow Classified release month that we're back to talking about wishlist figs lol
Wow, I cannot believe I completely forgot about these two. Both great figures at the time. And yeah, the tan version was the better of the Joe troopers. I really liked the gas mask helmet as well.
I start thinking about GI Joe Retaliation figures and I start thinking about those glorious days when Five Below actually had things that were worthwhile in their stores.
Jasis! I already have regular tunnel rat and a shooter but those prices are so damned tempting. Maybe I can get some different heads...
@vicious7171 I ordered 1. Let's hope Wal Mart actually delivers her instead of something else. It also gave me the ability to order the new Black Series Cody without getting penalized for too low a price. Ill also have to replace her gun if its as flimsy as people say, but that's ok cause I think I have 1.
Replaced her gun but it wasn't SUPER flimsy. The end of the barrel just sagged slightly, which honestly was still too much.
