Just looking at pictures of them all again and I realized I also don't like how tight Jinx's mask is. I liked the looser mask with that little  "bloop" of the original. Apparently I have strong opinions on Jinx.

1 disappointment out of 6  (or 7) isn't bad. Hopefully the wait for a retro version isn't too long.

Jinx is a nice update, love the look. I love that they put gnawgahyde on the gung ho base, plus more dreadnoks. Night creeper is great, nice that they put the V2 head in for those who like it.

Doc doesn't look very "Deluxe" to me, but he's solid overall and the little pill bottles on his head are a great touch.  Torch is my favorite; digging the reuse from Mindbender.  Night Creeper is a likely yes.  I hope Jynx has good torso articulation.  Is that thing on the upper-left like a little scarf?  Curious how that will stay in place.

Gnawhyde looks like he's going to be huge, Gung-Ho size.  Porkbelly gonna be a big boy.  Fantastic Tiger Force two pack.  Roadblock's new backpack is interesting!   I hope the yellow is vibrant and not a lie like on Spider Wolf.  

Overall, renders don't mean much to me, looking forward to some proto peeks or amazing pictures.

I didn't know I needed an action figure that came with a monkey wearing an eyepatch in my life, but here we are.

I didn't realize he had an eyepatch and now I don't just want this figure, I NEED this figure. Like tomorrow. I love this ridiculous line and how it just goes all in on everything.

@vicious7171 It's a blindfold to recreate her look from the movie when she sparred with Beachhead.

@docsilence That liitle detail just brings Yobbo to the next level.

Someone pointed out that Yobbo could easily have been included with a Classified Zanzibar so we might get a repainted version down the line.

Overall another home run for the Classified team.

Every single reveal was a banger in my opinion.  I love the update to Doc and Jinx.  Night Creeper looks great and I love that they included the V2 head.  GNAWGAHYDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I mean what is there to say about his reveal?  I love absolutely everything about it.  From the Pets (a highly articulate Boar with a nose ring and one broken tusk?  YES PLEASE!!) to the sniper rifle kit, to the bow and arrow, to Gnawgahyde himself!!!  This is a fantastic reveal and I can't wait for him to get a release.

I also loved the TF two pack of Roadblock and Tripwire.  Roadblock gets his Ma'Deuce and I am surprised that they gave Tripwire almost all of his kit from the first release as well.  I would have expected them to leave out M.A.C.L.E.O.D. and just give us the detector and backpack.  Also I love the TF print on M.A.C.L.E.O.D. that they give to the vehicles, a nice little detail.  I will say I can't unsee the "tiger stripe speedo" on Tripwire after someone mentioned that is what it looked like to them.

Another great set of reveals.

Down for Torch, of course.

Doc I was excited for until I saw the only thing making him "Deluxe" is the stretcher.  Lame.  I'll only get him if I can find a great discount.

I'm new to Gnawgahyde and he looks cool, but feel he needs sunglasses to complete the Dreadnok look.  Undecided on him.  Might look good paired w/Shadow Stalker, though.  They don't say deluxe, but he must be w/all those appurtenances. Waiting on pics.

As of now the rest are a pass.  Will see if pics can change my mind on any of them.

I don't think Doc is a deluxe. I think Doc, Torch, Jinx and Night Creeper are a full retail wave.

@mr-potatohead SUNGLASSES FOR GNAWGAHYDE???!!??

How dare you sir!!!!  (LOL)

As lightsyder said I don't think Doc is a deluxe.  They haven't said anything official yet but I think it is mostly speculation based on him coming with the stretcher.  Outside of the stretcher he doesn't have a whole lot that would justify the deluxe pricing.  Two "pistols", a helmet and a holster.  Not exactly a large amount, or large in size, set of accessories.   I wouldn't put it past the Hasbro bean counters who decide where figures get placed for pricing to put him as a deluxe.  However recent history has shown them to be, mostly, reasonable in their pricing expectations for figures. 

It could go either way but I am hoping Doc is not a deluxe.

Is that a blindfold that comes with Jinx?

Ah!  Well, maybe they meant for Gnawgahyde to be listed as the deluxe figure in the batch, not Doc.  Then I'm back on board for him (Doc) 🙃

I hate Jinx but I'm sure she'll get a retro release so no biggie.  Gnawgahyde, Torch, and Night Creeper look like home runs.  Doc is good but I might wait for a retro release for him as well.  I like forward to a steep discount on the Tiger Force 2-pack, and it will be nice to finally own a Tripwire (still waiting for a sale on him).

I was thinking it was alternate ends for her sash, for the blowing-in-the-wind look, but maybe you're right.

I had assumed so. Two animal companions, that feels deluxe.

 

This group of figures deeply rules. Can't wait to get Jinx, especially.

Night Creeper looks fantastic! I loved that original figure. Looks like such a nice upgrade of the original look. And the V2 Ninja Force head looks so cool in the V1 color scheme.
