It could still happen. A lot of it is speculation. But nothing official has ever been said by Hasbro. I think the most we ever heard was from Brian Flynn. Who said he was told he couldn't do it at the moment. its not like we have had a ton of CoCo figures in classified. Its really only been the one repainted a couple of times. I do hope they formally announce the retro one before the HISS comes in so I'm not tempted to open that one.
I have been considering buying a custom one but I feel as soon as I do Hasbro will release one. I'm seeing this a lot with the customs. in the last month I saw bunch of great custom Metal Heads only for Hasbro to announce theirs.
On a unrelated side note. I wonder if Super 7 will ever do a playset for the Ultimate's Joes. The Cats Lair and Snake Mountain are pretty sweet. If they made a Cobra Temple I would buy it for Classified. I could see it out selling the previous mentioned ones.
Every time I think I'm slowing down with this line I end up getting a bunch of stuff all at once. Got desert SE showing up today, Big Ben and Range Viper showed up this week, haven't had time to open Grunt yet (forgot I ordered one from Pulse and one from Amazon so I could use both heads, which I probably wouldn't have done if I knew they were making Steel Brigade already, but eh, tis fine).
Got charge notifications for Vypra and the new Flint - forgot he was shipping this soon. I bought a second of the original Flint to try to remove the vest from so he'd look more like the old school figure and still haven't had time to try that out. (I always feel bad permanently altering a figure even if I intentional got an extra and didn't overpay, but it'd be cool to have him without the bulky overlay for a different display option.)
With all the preorders arriving, I can't believe I'm missing, of all figures, the tan Snake-Eyes. BBTS hasn't gotten that thing in yet.
@docsilence Flint will certainly get a retro figure at some point. Granted, with him getting a Tiger Force figure recently, it may be a year or so. It'll be interesting to see just how often retro figures are released. We were shown renders for three (Duke, Recondo, Scarlett) and know of a few more (Beachhead, Eel, Snow Serpent). So that's at least two waves. Will we get more per year?
It's Shadow Tracker and Wolf Spider for the Walmart Collector Con, right?
10/13 should be Walmart Fall edition of Collector Con. There’s to be a preview 10/5.
Thwipp!
Just received Firefly from Target. He's fantastic, but a little lacking for his storage. While I can accept no storage for his suppressor and magazine (they just go on the gun), the lack of storage for his dead man's switch (RC car controller?) is pretty glaring. The ab crunch on mine is also very loose, it will barely hold positions and there's no click. Otherwise his quality is very nice, he has a harder plastic much like Low Light on his arms and legs. Shame on Hasbro for showing us green paint on his gun and his knife handle on the box render artwork when they're unpainted black plastic.
Got the Range Viper today. What’s the square gap for on the bottom of his backpack? And is there a place for his axe? I like both the grenade launcher and the machine gun, but displaying with both is overkill. It’s a nice sharp sculpt, especially that helmet. The black arms look like another case of Televiper skin syndrome, but no one seems vocal about this. I don’t have any attachment to this Viper from childhood, so he’s not a favorite but looks cool enough to diversify the Cobra troop ranks.
Square gap is for hanging his canister gun thing. Axe pegs into the top side.

The Square gap is for the Grenade Launcher and the axe can fit on the peg on the side. Yeah its funny people hate the black bare arms on the Tele-Viper and not the Range Viper. I'm pretty sure the Range Viper is on the Outback Buck
I was charged and got the shipping notice for the Crimson Strike Force from GameStop Canada. The Onslaught continues. September is was an expensive month. I think in total I got about 30 figures
@snake-eyes-8181 thanks so much, I don’t know why I couldn’t figure that out. That’s very helpful.
I joined the $12 Grunt club.
I love this line, but stuff's coming out too fast.
Wait did you get your Range Vipers from Walmart Canada?
I have yet to see anyone mention getting either Big Ben or the Range Vipers from Walmart Canada. If you did that is great news. Was it a preorder, or did you find them in store by chance?
Also nice to see TF Flint, Vypra and the Snow Serpents showing up at TRU.
