There's a lot you don't have. Phil would have that whole list in bold by now.

Why are there two Outback/Stuart Selkirk's?
Why do some of the Joes have their real name and codename but others just have their codenames?

I've acquired quite a few of these this year now, I feel like this line has really been taking off!
I've decided my focus is mostly on collecting the figures from the UK Action Force card back of the first ... wave? ... from back in the day:
1. Footloose
2. Dusty
3. Cobra
4. Snow serpent
5. Flint
6. Lady Jaye
7. Storm shadow
8. Eel
9. Barbecue
10. Bazooka
11. Crimson guard
12. Tele-viper
13. Airtight
14. Snake Eyes plus timber
15. Ripper
16. Buzzer
17. Shipwreck
18. Alpine
19. Destro
20. Quick Kick
(plus other bits and pieces I like)

Why are there two Outback/Stuart Selkirk's? White beard and orange beard. But I have no idea why some relatively obscure characters have multiple variants, while they still haven't done characters like General Hawk, Wild Bill and the original Dreadnoks once. (Or characters who had big roles in the live-action movies such as Ripcord and Jinx.) I didn't know, but Phil's answer makes sense. Edit: On this occasion. Martin |

This year Martin has mostly been buying Masters of the Universe Origins and G.I. Joe Classified. But which has he bought more new releases of?
Masters of the Universe 2022 releases bought by Martin
Jitsu
Sorceress
Anti-Eternia He-Man
Horde Trooper
Trap Jaw (Mini Comic)
Leech
Teela and Zoar
G.I. Joe Classified 2022 releases bought by Martin
B.A.T.
Alley Viper
Storm Shadow (Classic)
Cobra Officer
Croc Master and Fiona
B.A.T. (Python Patrol)
Cobra Viper (Python Patrol)
Edit: Zarana
Crimson Guard
Crimson Guard (Retro)
Baroness (Retro)
G.I. Joe wins 10 - 7.
Edit: Zarana makes it 11 - 7.

I could stand getting a classic-style Snake Eyes with wolf Timber at some point.
But it's the Crimson Guard B.A.T. I'm really hankering for in 2023.

The classic-style Snake Eyes and Timber is great! Packed with accessories, and Timber is really impressive.
Given how the set has remained steadfastly in-stock on Pulse though (especially given how quickly other Classified releases seem to sell out, at least on the EU site) I wouldn't be surprised at a good discount in the not too distant future.
If they are always going to do the animals this well I think I may have to take a look at Croc Master after all.

It's just as well for Timber. He would not have fared well in a fight with Fiona the Cobra alligator.

It costs twice as much!
I'm not saying I won't ever get it (the figures that come with Timber are different), just that I've opted for the basic figure to address the fact that I was lacking a non-movie Snake Eyes figure in my collection. Now I have versions of Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Scarlett and Baroness in both their movie styles and their non-movie styles.

Seems reasonable to me. Karl |

Filled out a few more on my list before Christmas!
1. Footloose
2. Dusty
3. Cobra
4. Snow serpent
5. Flint
6. Lady Jaye
7. Storm shadow
8. Eel
9. Barbecue
10. Bazooka
11. Crimson guard
12. Tele-viper
13. Airtight
14. Snake Eyes plus timber
15. Ripper
16. Buzzer
17. Shipwreck
18. Alpine
19. Destro
20. Quick Kick
I saw on Twitter earlier we are getting a classic style Bazooka sometime this year, and on a list of so-far unrevealed figures there was Ripper, Buzzer, Snow Serpent, and Tele-Viper. With Shipwreck also coming soon, it might not take long to get through this list!

Yeah, but there's not much point in having him in the Classified line, as it's too big to give him a boat.

Whereas I think he's rubbish. A shelf warming **** that would not go away back in the day and yet could you find Snake Eyes or Stormshadow? Then they brought Shipwreck back for a second year and dumped the superb gear laden Alpine. Madness
