Classified Horrorshow in 3..2..1

>>11696585
Glenda was released with Flash's laser rifle in summer 2024, yet still no Flash. We'll probably be in for a wait with Horrorshow. And that was a good catch. I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out.

>>11696591
Flash was initially planned but held back to not step on Sci-Fi's toes as "the Laser Guy", he's coming though, as is Grand Slam, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a HAL in the mix as well.

>>11697534
She looks more industrial to me. She looks like the kind of woman you can play Nine Inch Nails "I WANT TO FUCK YOU LIKE AN ANIMAL" around without her getting mad about it.

I think I might actually get this Zanya. Don't know anything about her, but looks like quite a cool pack and I like her design, who is she?

>>11698115
Zartan's daughter, and is a modern-age character.

>>11698117
Specifically she's from the Devil's Due era of the comics that ran through most of the 2000s, and is the second Classified figure from that era after Kamakura. Heartwrencher, a new female Dreadnok from the same era keeps getting mentioned as a possible upcoming figure too. If we're lucky Wraith is a possibility too.

they have to be about done with the dreadnoks finally right? they can't possibly keep shitting them out?

>>11698345
I think there's about 3 or 4 more members they haven't done now

>>11698345
Well the only "big" one they haven't done is Thrasher and there's a few people who wouldn't mind a new V.1 Zartan. If they do a HASLAB Thunder Machine, then Thrasher will definitely be included while Heartwrencher and Wraith are probably safe bets as unlocks.

>>11698361
I think Zanzibar is the only other one from the 80s that's still missing, but there's Burnout from the early 2000s and Machete, who replaced Ripper in Sigma 6.

>If their intention is a low price point then I can excuse the simplicity. Basically whether or not it's worth it depends on the price.
The original was about a dozen individual pieces of plastic, in 3 colors, with the color-change gimmick. I feel like this is cheaping out for the Classified series, and an inferior product in a premium line. The Zanya/Chameleon set is going to be at least 50 bucks anyway, so a lame Chameleon ticks me off.

It'll fall in between the $60 for a Ghost Viper and $75 for the MMS or Stinger. They won't sell it for less than GV on general principle of keeping prices upward-moving instead of down even though we all know they could sell it for less since it's an apparently simple design.

There are people out there making 3rd-party 3D-printed Swamp skiers. Maybe one of those would be to your liking.

>>11699870
A sand viper is a nobody, too. It's not even anywhere near high on the list of Cobra troopers people want. Plus throw in Hasbro's "X" factor where they twice successfully got us to buy all-new Cobra troopers no one even knew they wanted (Ghost Viper and GRIM Viper).

Everything looks great except the helmet mouthpiece. It looks too angular at the front. Too artificial when the Cobra-la people pride themselves on organic tech. Pic related custom nails the techno-organic look better.

I don't get wh they felt the need to include a head of him smiling. Most OG Joe fans didn't give a shit about what a generic trooper looked like under the helmet.

Here's my hierarchy
Trooper

I think my collection breaks down in a similar fashion numbers wise, but I may have and equal number of troopers and vipers.

>>11700152
It's just what Cobra-La people look like. Some of the Energon Universe comics have shown Royal Guards unmasked, mostly in Void Rivals, that's probably why they're including some alternate unmasked heads.

If it fits, it would indeed work as a pre-disfigurement Cobra Commander as well.

I ended up with two of these.
Don't want the dogs. I'm sure y'all would crucify me if you knew me IRL, but actually only needed the two heads to customize something else.
The hands will come in handy, and I'm sure I can find some good use for the weapons, his vest and definitely one of the bodies, especially if I can safely get whatever is on his wrist off and match the flesh tone underneath.
It looks like the dogs sell for about $22 to $26+ shipped on eBay. Should I sell them 2 for $25, plus postage? Or sell them individually?
Thanks!

Same here. The helmets just look stupid to me, and I really didn't like the way they sold the female blueshirts as a 2-pack with stupid demon eyes on each of them while no doubt intentionally making them as flat as Keira Knightley to "fight male gaze." Plus the bandolier holsters on the males are over-sized and should be slimmer. The blue-shirts should be the most wanted Cobra troops, but a few little bad details screwed them up.

>>11701296
Don't forget the Retro Cobra Troopers didn't get a new body at all. It's just the modern Classified Cobra trooper with Cobra Officer head and Classified Stalker webgear. Plus it doesn't come with a classic Dragunov nor AKM rifle.

>>11701226
Look up the "sold" prices to see what they actually sold for because sellers routinely ask fuck-whatever prices then sit on what they're selling for a long time. With Law and Order being so plentiful and most likely a future clearance item, I find it hard to believe that people are paying $22 for just the dog.

>>11700582
I always preferred Vipers as a kid, they just have cooler gear and weapons and just look more dangerous. That said, in Classified, I actually like the Troopers more because they have more gear and stowage capacity. Vipers barely have any gear and come off boring because of it. The three pack is nice with all the extra guns and stuff, but again, no way to carry more then one weapon.

Also for the standard classified Vipers, the weird way they did their thigh ribbing just makes them look unfinished. The Retro one fixes it, but the initial vipers just look wrong.

>>11700762
I always liked the idea of all new recruits starting as Troopers and then working their way up the ranks from there. Troopers can become Vipers and Vipers can then go into specializations depending on performance. Though any exceptional candidates would get selected from the Guard, regardless of where they are in the hierarchy.

>>11701296
Only issue I had with the girl troops is the bright yellow webgear. They should've had matching gear and the Yellow one should've been a single pack "Officer" or something.

>>11701226
Like I said in the DC Gen, I'd buy the rest if you only needed the head. I'm not sure how to communicate outside of 4chan to discuss the details.
>>11701429
That's pretty much how I see the ranking too, once you get to viper level you begin the special training for your field, techno viper or tele viper etc etc or you could go into a leadership path and transition from a viper into a guardsman.

>>11701285
Jarrett wouldn't spend $60-70 just to get two heads. Sorry, I might just be another one of your bogeymen (you assholes have also accused me of being subby, and NecaAnon, unless those are more alias for Valley Forge), but I'm not that attention whore. My father's long dead, for starters, and I danced on his grave. I think Jarrett actually plays with the toys with his.

>>11701309
Thanks. I've already marked some auctions and some recently sold for about $15-17. One guy who looks like he's dumping his entire storefront and closing down his shop has two up for auction right now and the bidding is up to $15 last I checked on each.

>future clearance item
You can't find it on clearance on line just yet - BBTS still has it full priced, for example, and probably won't clearance something like this until this year's Black Friday sales, but it's on clearance at Target if you can find one that still has it in stock. That's where I got these, but it took some searching.

In general, I like Vipers way more than the blue shirt troopers. The retro carded ones look the best, but I do like the Cobra Island OG Classified Viper too. The 3-pack ones look too dull, but I do like the Officer.

I actually never liked the OG blueshirt troopers even back in the day of vintage GI Joe. I like the classified ones quite a bit though. There is actually cohesion between the CI trooper, the Infantry trooper, and the female Valkyries, so they look pretty good together. Biggest issue with the Classified troopers is the stupid ass guns with the big holstering peg hanging off of them.

I can also see why some people don't like them though, since they were in that really early phase of Classified where Hasbro was still trying to give the figures "modernized" sci-fi elements. The retro card version should have been a true classic blueshirt though. I actually hate those figures. The webgear is to big and loose on them.

Son, you called me Jarrett.

If you are one of that attention whore's stalkers, then you know he talks about certain things constantly, one of them being his father and how they play with their own toys together and separately.

It was emphasis.

If you took logic and critical thinking at school, if you even went to school, emphatic knowledge and facts would have been taught to as part of good construction of your counterpoints.

Just like they would have taught you that trying to insinuate something about my mental health is just the lazy path of least resistance - getting personal when you don't have logic or facts on your side, for example.

tl;dr sad sad sad

>>If you are one of that attention whore's stalkers, then you know he talks about certain things constantly, one of them being his father and how they play with their own toys together and separately.
I actually didn't know that since whenever I see one of his walls of text, I just ignore it. Good for him, glad him and his dad get along like that. I wish my dad and I shared a hobby like that, we weren't as close when I was younger, I was never good at physical stuff so that was kind of put a distance between us, but we've gotten closer as we've grown older. Sorry that you and your dad had such a bad relationship. Still, really weird thing to just bring up like that.

My Walmart took down the display and put everything on clearance. I hadn't seen this wave yet so it seems like it went straight from the back to the clearance aisle. They had around a dozen riot police for $20 as well, but I'm gonna wait and see if they drop further.

Two auctions ended earlier today, both $17 (with free shipping), the dog like this, without his gear, but with the spare head, and the dog as seen in the tray with all his gear.

I wanted feedback from actually collectors, but I guess $20 for both, or $10 each, plus postage, would sell based on these two auctions (different buyers, per the bidding).

Wal-Mart is my biggest obstruction to collecting Classified, especially when they get exclusives that NEVER show up in my whole fucking city while other cities are loaded with them. And when a given figure doesn't sell out because the stores that did get it were overloaded with more than what they can sell, they go on clearance. There would be less clearance if the figures were more evenly distributed because a "Ghost Viper" case of a figure selling out in spite of the shit distribution is a rare outlier case.

That was Hasbro's fault because both figures were shitty. They knew they had to sell key female characters but they wanted to fight the "sexist misogynist coomergooner Hitler-penis evil male gaze" by deliberately making them unattractive. Throw in crap like visible leg pins, bad proportions, too much detail put into the bodysuit to modernize it, half-torso armor instead of full torso, stupid gauntlets, and other dumb crap that completely ruined the Baroness.

Did they expect people to want that shit on general principle of at least having some version of those characters? One out of five versions of Baroness is good, and zero versions of Lady Jaye are good. I hope Hasbro fixes that.

>>11703452
Same thing happened with stalker and grunt right before the 'retro' line got axed. You couldn't find the fang or snake eyes but you'd see piles of grunts and stalkers.

>>11703475
There's still plenty of Stalkers out there.

>>11703429
Out of ten WM toy sections I have hit, including in neighborhood counties, and other parts of the state, almost none have had end caps like that in the toys department, except for mostly kid-oriented shit - and only when a movie is out, like a Disney oriented display for whatever shit was out during that visit (e.g. Lilo & Stitch live action). Even this past year, for Thunderbolt, BNW, Superman or FF, all they had was their little section/area on the aisles and most WM had little of the "adult collectibles" for those movies.

In the original line Hasbro alsays did a pattern of one Black dude and a woman in each wave, which at the time was the whole year's production. Even though he was a mail-away, William "refrigerator" Perry was that token Black dude of 1987. So I guess Hasbro felt like it didn't need (or want) two Black dudes in a single year.

Anyone know if the Gears of War heads off McFarlane Toys awful statue/action figure lines could be swapped and look all right, head to torso wise, on a retro Joe buck? The Fenix bros and that one girl look like they would make great grunts, especially in desert camo?

I suspect they will have the holograms. Bigger series of questions:
1. Are they Joe scale or vintage Visionaries scale?
2. Are they Sunbow and comic style?

>It would be nice if they made the comic book characters that have still yet to get figures after almost half a century.
I think they're edging in that direction based on some of the character choices.
They did say they're expanding the line to 4 figures a wave after testing the waters with just 2 figures.

did that anon treat the comics like a picture book and mistake the future fred for duke?

>>11706337
I must be having a Mendela-effect moment because I remember Duke, SE, and Stalker being the original three that the team ended up built around.

>>11706370
why would you even have a mendela effect for such a non-character? Even in the cartoon he's basically just a sound effect.

Duke was in Vietnam, or South East Asia at least, several file cards reference it, and since they're all around the same age means most probably served in one way or the other. The Snake Eyes back story confirms Storm Shadow, Stalker, Hawk, Fred II, and Snake Eyes though.

TF Duke was generalized to Southeast Asia. I know several other cards had similar references, but I'm not going to go through them all for you. Wild Bill, Spirit, and Mainframe off the top of my head for examples.

>>11706388
There's nothing edgy about calling a boring character with no memorably qualities as being a non-character
No doubt, you think Duke is more important than he really is because he's in cartoon telling the kids what direction they're going in and who they're shooting the red lights at, so you thought he actually mattered in the comics.

>non-character
He's been part of the command level of the Joes since 1983, and is who the average person thinks of as the leader moreso than even General Hawk, and even Hasbro itself has projected as the main leader countless times. This is you once again projecting your opinions as an absolute that everyone else should go along with.

>>11706463
just because he's leading the charge doesn't make him interesting.

If he was, you'd be telling me all about his character, instead of confusing him with a Fred who has way more charactirization despite being in like 4 comics.

>>11706473
Just because you don't find him interesting doesn't make him boring. As far as the comic books go he's more interesting than all of that retarded ninja crap that derailed the military theme countless times. Even the damn live-action movies kept derailing the overall theme for ninja flashbacks the general audience just didn't give a shit about.

>>11706370
Confusing Duke with Storm Shadow.

Storm Shadow, Stalker, Snake Eyes and comic exclusive character Wade Collins served in Vietnam together. With Snake Eyes moving in with Storm Shadow at SS's uncle's ninja compound after the war when SE found out his entire family died in a car accident while on the way to pick him up when he came back to the states.

Duke's actual service record was never explored in the original series but given his age, he most likely joined after Vietnam like most of the Joes. Though the RotC film explicitly states he served in the GWOT.

You are only misremembering because the cartoon shoved Duke front and center as the franchise main character while never touching the Hama lore about Snake Eyes and Stalker and Storm Shadowpp

>>11706412
Just because you have reddit meme level surface knowledge off the universe doesn't mean you can come here and spout it like its truth.

>>11706501
I like how you keep proving how uninteresting the character is by how you try to shit on everything else.

What does Duke do beyond yelling commands and slogans? Does he have any friends? Hobbies? Was he even born from a mother?

>>11706531
what else does reddit say about Duke?
Because i don't think there's anything but surface level characterization about him anyway.

It's been decades since i read the Devil's Due bullshit, but since they tried to merge cartoon lore with the comics, they must given Duke a character in their comics since he was front and center in the cartoon.
Or did they ignore him there too, like Hama's comics?

>>11706542
Duke is a soldier. Being in the service is his entire way of life in a classic "married to the job" personality.

Duke tends to look "younger" as a recent figure recently. That Super7 Ultimate actually looks older than the Classifieds even if it's a cartoon version.
Not as young, in comparison to other recent Classified figures, as looking at the Retro and then that really neat set of "Hawk" Abernathy but yeah.

>>11706600
so what you're saying is... his entire character is describing what the next scene is going to be about to the children watching the cartoon and yelling slogans?
I can see why you love his character so much.

>>11706395
In '82 I would imagine that 80% percent of the team would have likely had at least one tour in Vietnam.

"soldier" personality who can only yell out slogans and narrate what's going on screen doesn't exist in real life, so of course I've never been around it.

I think it's pretty funny that you haven't once actually described the character that you've been trying to defend. If i didn't know Duke was such a non-character, i'd be accusing you of never having watched or read GI Joe. But since Duke so uninteresting and devoid of personality, you not saying anything actually proves you at least watched the cartoon.

I was kinda hoping to hear that maybe the new Image comics would have fixed that, but it doesn't seem anyone here reads those.

I really miss the discussions we used to have in the GI Joe General, back during its heyday in the 10s. Back then, someone would actually bring up something from IDW or Renegades, because Duke actually had a personality there... not that it wasn't boring too.
Any other oldfags still here who actually watched or read these series?

I like the designs, BUUUUUUT they shouldn't have been used on the toys.
I really liked the Men in Black cartoon too.

I also liked how Cobra became a giant conglomerate, ala Proctor and Gamble, instead of being some Amway business. Makes it more sinister, esecially since giant conglomerates like that were seen as Satanic in the 80s. That perfectly segues into the Cobra-La mythos too, since everything about them is pretty demonic.

If Hasbro/Marvel had used a soulless corporation, instead of sympathetic down on their luck everyman like Cobra Commander who became disillusioned with the American way of life, i guess GI Joe/Cobra wouldn't have been as popular as it got. This may be why n oone really gives a shit about any other Cobra reimagining

Something about the figure looks off to me, but she has existed for quite a while, hasn't she? She had statues of her made years ago, so I don't think she's some "woke" creation.

>>11708583
She was made during the woke years in comics, which begin around 2013, a year before Gamergate. She was made and treated as a woke character in her introduction and people were pissed about her for awhile, and there were people angry that Snake Eyes is a white man, and an issue of the Aubrey Sitterson comic around the same time had Snake Eyes get beaten up by Quick Kick, since he's asian. Eventually they made that Snake Eyes movie where he was asian too. Eventually people started simping for fictional pussy, but the character represents a period of woke bullshit in G.I. Joe and she's seen as an attempt to get rid of classic Snake Eyes.

>>11708588
Oh. Guess I thought she was older than that. Then again, I've pretty much stayed entire away from pretty much all American comics for the last 20 years or so.

This is why people are actually able to describe female snake eyes and not the non-character.

Still not sure whether female Snake Eyes is widely known because she's actually a good character or because of outrage though.
Personally, i think she's just okay. Made for an enjoyable story, but it wasn't great or anything like that.

>>11708588
Not true.

Hama killed off Snake Eyes to try and boost sales in his GI Joe continuation, which only existed because IDW was legally required to publish at least one GI Joe book a month or lose the license to all Hasbro properties.

He ultimately introduced TWO Snake Eyes replacements. One was the female Snake Eyes, the other was Wade Collins' son who's status as a ninja via Devil's Due was wholesale ignored by Hama because fuck you and was introduced into Hana's Marvel lore as a generic green shirt rookie Joe who ironically got disfigured around the same time as SE dying and took over the mantle of SE, resulting in the book having TWO Snake Eyes legacy brats.

As for why we are getting girl SE? DEI shit from Black Rock requiring Hasbro put out female figures and the fact that more people liked Collins's Devil Due ninja persona than they did him as SE.

I just remember seeing her years ago and thinking "oh, Jinx picked up the Snake Eyes name I guess, neat" then being dumbfounded at the absolute retardation of the actual characters story.

>every other crossover
>Make the turtles look like the other brand, make the brand look like they came from TMNT
>Playmates
>Make the Turtles cosplay in the most minimalist way

They don't even scale with either type of Joe figures. What is the point of this?

Noo I wanted to get more...

These are just renders right? I've been desperately waiting for them to release a proper Micronaut but now that i've seen the Time Traveler it's like the monkey's paw curled around my cock, they look like shit. There weirdly chunky and the arms are all stubby, and what the hell is up with the "Servant to the Micronauts" bullcrap? They were always part of the Mirconauts team, MEGO had them as cool space warriors.

This wave looks pretty much finished like it's ready to be in hand. I'm not sure what Super7 means by them showing up later this year.

yeah, i normally stay quiet about them, but since you're speaking up....

I get nostalgiafags like old shit, but come on... that shit is awful on purpose. I actually got excited in the 00s when Hasbro "remastered" their o-ring figures with brand new, modern quality sculpts and slightly better paint.

The figures being posted looks worse than the stuff from the 80s. Literally Corps and Bronze Bomber tier sculpts.

I don't understand the want for shit that literally looks worse than what we got in the 80s. Are the people who buy these figures even nostalgiafags who grew up with the line? It's like zoomers who like 2d games with sprite graphics, but don't understand sprite games looked almost like cartoons thanks to how CRTs showed it on screen, but champion the raw pixel graphics like it's so great.

Since people are speaking about Micronauts, I’m guessing most people already know about Cromantron correct?

Those 2000s comic packs have really bad quality on the plastics. They feel very brittle and are known for breaking and plastics turning colors, Scarlett's a good example. Some of the new head sculpts in the comic packs are very ugly too.

>I don't understand the want for shit that literally looks worse than what we got in the 80s.
People don't have to justify their collecting to you, it makes you come off as a dick who doesn't like things because they fill a need for another collector.

They are making the shit that hasbro didn't or will never do. Nothing more.

Who fucking cares? They're trash, and you're pathetic for posting that shit.

>>11711819
He's a troll. He's shitting up the TMNT thread too. He thinks people want to see these o-ring figures when nobody cares.
