G.I. Joe Classified Series

Well, shit, if I'd known there was a checklist here, I wouldn't have suggested HT. My bad.

No, it's fine. If you get a second, though, could you just pull this knife out of my back?

CLAW update:

Holy cats! The “extra” red mask heads looks INCREDIBLE on the tan-gear Valkyries. Sooooo good!

AWESOME. I was hoping so.

I imagine Mindbender was using it? If I can only get one mindbending Cobra scientist, I'm glad to have the one I do, but I do hope they go for the second one.

Dr. Venom is definitely your more traditional evil doctor. White lab coat, nice tie. Dr. Mindbender has the monocle, villain mustache, cod piece, cape, and he shows you his nipples. There's a clear winner here.

 

[Ru1977]

Venom's nipples were probably blown off by Kwinn's grenade.

It’s only a matter of time before we get a suited body. It would have so many uses - Dr. Venom, Crimson Twins, Cobra Commander, Hector Ramirez, and Risk just to name a few.

 

[Ru1977]

I NEVER would have thought a Hector Ramirez figure would be possible let alone likely.

Y'know, the Classified team would knock a reusable business suit body out of the park, wouldn't they.

I've been assuming the alternate head with Dr. Rand was intended to be Dr. Venom, but I'm not the authority on the character.

Does this match y'all's mental image of him?

Yeah, that's correct. Dr. Toxzen even, heh. But yeah, that's one thing about those Big Bad Workshop lines, they have so many sweet gap-filling designs like that, or the hooded CC alternative, or all the Red Shadows designs in the Crimson Moon line etc.

And as much as I like Venom, I think seeing that figure and not being willing to pay that price to have him made me realize how I want Classified to do him with a little more pizazz.

I fully expect him to happen as an exclusive of some sort. I’d really like to see the Wiper (“the Viper is coming”) at some point too. Cold Slither proved some of those ridiculous cartoon episodes can make some fun figures.

I almost mentioned the Wiper here the other day, then looked him up and realized that figure would be even less exciting than Dr. Venom.

BUT... that joke is so damned entertaining anyway. Now I'm gonna hope for a Classified version of The Wiper, but I don't know how you can spruce that up without losing the essence of the character.

 

[Ru1977]

Thinking more on a more actiony Dr. Venom, I was thinking... maybe even if they ever do a Classified version of other Mindbenders, maybe just include a Venom head?
