Wow, even more reveals - did they announce this was happening? Night-Creeper looks perfect, Jinx is a fantastic update, and Gnawghyde has a great kit (PORK BELLY?). They really are knocking it out of the park with this line.
Not done I see…
Love the look of Jinx. Her portrait is striking. She looks like a bad azz with lot the sleeves. They preserved the blindfold option. Great Classified Jinx look.
So much fun today!
Classified is like no Live Stream, no problem. We’ll still be the talk of the day. McFarlane released some cool Super Powers preorders today too. Classified and their here’s more.
Just fun.
Thwipp!
Gnawgahyde and Night Creeper look great as well. I need a decent amount of Night Creepers. Four. Six? Four.
Jinx is okay. This is shocking I know, but the vintage look is overall better to me. The bare arms don't do it for me, and the tattoo even less.
Once again every release a winner. I'm giddy.
Nothing but more reminders why this is the best toy line at retail. Most excited for Jinx, but they all look like winners.
I think the sleevless Jinx is a great update, makes her look like a fighter and not somebody in silk pajamas. I was curious how they would do Doc, I'm glad he has the flare pistol instead of the mortar from the original. All the others are great as well.
I’m in for everything. A more classic Jinx is bound for the retro card in a year or two.
Oh man oh man. Gnaw and Night Creeper were at the very top of my wish list for this line. I've never cared a single tiny itty bitty bit about the Dreadnoks, but for some reason I adored the ARAH figure of Gnawgahyde and I am so excited to get him in Classified. And the original Night Creeper is one of my favorite ARAH figures as well. Need a proper orange-and-black NC Leader, please.
I'm not sold on what they've done with the shoulders having a part on them to imitate partial-sleeves, if that's what that's supposed to be. I'd much rather it was just a normal partial sleeve upper arm sculpt or whatever. That seems like it's either going to get in the way a lot, or look pretty silly in most poses. Minor quibble, of course. I haven't been this excited for a Joe release in quite a while.
I just got the Action Sailor. I think the Joe community will have gripes. The weapons are gummy. They are not deformed as much as they were in the plastic tray. I also have some concerns on the tolerances for the holster to hold his secondary/pistol. It’s a bit loose. The pouch to hold the silence/suppressor is really tight. The clip to hold his sub machine gun on his pack is a bit loose too. They hold on okay. They are a bit loose.
So much gear! Yes reuse. But man the new stuff is cool. I wish there were one of those ARAH technical drawings that called out what all the gear is. I mean I know knife and gun. I know the dog tags and charges pack Snake Eyes has. But I guess the thing with the “24” on it is a rebreather. The two handled thing that looks like a camera without a lense. Some depth reader thing? The submersible has a propeller that turns. It’s a bit stiff. The lenses are clear. I wish Torpedo had those type of lenses.
Man I love the portraits! They both look like bad asses. I still see one as Duke. The other has a younger Stalker look. I think I’m in for one more. I have three Eels and I’ll have three divers, for now.
Thwipp!
LOVE Jinx. I'm all over that one, and prefer the updated look to the original. Can't wait for Torch, since I haven't opened Buzzer or Ripper til I get him! Doc is looking solid too. Gnawgahyde looks good, but those animal packs get discounted eventually. Even Mutt/Junkyard is hanging around, and they're both excellent.
Porkbelly !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Must have for me, gnaw look superb. will also buy Torch, he looks incredible. NOT into jinx and creeper but they do look good.
Awesome reveals, as usual.
My only gripe are those shin guards that Roadblock and Gnawgahyde are using. Those boots just don’t look that cool to me.
But anyway, I’ve been itching bad for more dreadnoks so seeing 2 today was a pretty nice scratch.
The v2/Ninja Force Nightcreeper head in v1 colors is an amazing inclusion. All the reveals are incredible, but NC and Gnawgahyde *really* get my pulse pounding. I was born in ‘78 but my Joe interest was a constant crescendo with no cutoff for age, so I associate some of those late-80s/early-90s figures with a time when I was truly picking out characters on my own instead of just what was given to me for holidays and such, so some of those later characters/sculpts are very special to me and those two were absolute favorites as a tween. If they bust out a v3 Snake-Eyes looking like the vintage card art with the pointy-tipped silver shades and removable trench knives on his chest, I might just lose my cookie.
And definitely place me in the camp that loves the updates to Classified Jinx and also wants a retro version in full pajamas with the little shoes and painted nails.
