Cobra uniforms are pretty cool.
I'd have to army-build Cobra Troopers. And get divorced.

They release new figures faster than I buy them. I think my next purchase will be number 37, Cobra Officer, which I believe comes out in July.
Viper 3-pack, Crimson Guard, Python Patrol Officer all likely acquisitions when they come out.
Then Phil flagged more releases for next year which don't have numbers assigned yet, including Crimson B.A.T.
Dearie me.

My Eldrador Creatures outnumber Cobra two-to-one. Even if they team up with Hordak and Skeletor, they will flee before the onslaught of Lava Scorpions, Ice Spiders and Armoured Turtles. Martin |

Cobra also fight amongst themselves.
I'll consider buying another Joe when they get round to releasing their leader in the Classified series.
Until then, Snake Eyes and Scarlett are helped by Eldrador Creatures.

They're really milking it with those boring variations on generic small figures. Quite different from the various glorious B.A.T.s and Vipers available through the Classified line. Martin |

After being initially lukewarm on Classified Scarlett in 2020, I've dipped my toe back in thanks to some sales and am slowly disappearing down the rabbit hole.
My first ever Hasbro Pulse order arrived today, the retro collection Baroness. I was slightly expecting a thick cardback like the Marvel Legends retro figures, but the packaging of this is very flimsy and throw-away. The figure is great though! Wonder if this is the only action figure I've ever owned with removable glasses? It feels like a first.
Also recently acquired the B.A.T. (amazing!), Lady Jaye, and Breaker + RAM Cycle (so that Jaye has a cycle to ride, Breaker is a very boring looking figure, and it helps that the set is incredibly discounted). Storm Shadow and Spirit Iron Knife are on their way.

After being initially lukewarm on Classified Scarlett in 2020 That one wasn't a great figure. The Snake Eyes Origins Scarlett is much better (if you can forgive its lack of accessories). I didn't know this sub-line existed until I saw retro big Lady Jaye in FP today. Let's see... I've got Snake Eyes Origins Baroness, who has removable glasses. Do goggles count? If so, then Firefly, Viper and Python Patrol Viper as well. Yeah, that's what I've been saying! It's truly superb. Martin |

The standard B.A.T. is the best G.I. Joe Classified figure, both objectively and because it takes you back to those 'Action Force' back-up strips in TFUK in which I found them quite scary and menacing. Remember this? (Page 8 in particular.) www.zipcomic.com/g-i-joe-a-real-american-hero-issue-53The standard Viper is the second-best figure. The Python Patrol B.A.T. and Viper don't look as good as the standard B.A.T. and Viper, but they have matching colours so make a better pair. Firefly, the Red Ninja and the Alley Viper come next as they have ridiculously over-the-top arrays of weapons, tools and gadgets. Anyone who invests in any of the above will have no regrets. Martin |

I also found that the Classified figures I did get were generally tossed in a corner and forgotten about. Must get round to charity shopping them.

(Page 8 in particular.) www.zipcomic.com/g-i-joe-a-real-american-hero-issue-53Absolutely, I loved those issues! Though the B.A.T. made more of an impresion on me in #44: www.zipcomic.com/g-i-joe-a-real-american-hero-issue-44I think the main reason the Classified B.A.T. works so well is it doesn't deviate too far from the original, which was an amazing toy. The only thing missing is a holographic chest! Storm Shadow and Spirit Iron Knife have now arrived, looking forward to those two. |
