G.I. Joe Classified Series

So now that we’ve gotten Cold Slither, that means these four are up for the next silly box set, right?

Hell yeah!

This can be the exclusive SDCC boxset. Then get together another group of musicians and do another album and live show. They already have 2 songs for Satin. Throw in a cameo by the Average Joe Band and you have 3 songs. Then just write a couple more and you have your album.

Sounds perfect!!
 
Maaan... Just got the cancellation notice from Walmart for Crystal Ball... was hoping it wouldn't happen. Wal Mart preorders are so consistently terrible.
 
Those sons of bitches at Walmart just cancelled my Crystal Ball pre-order. Fantastic. I'm so happy to have to pay 60 bucks for him on the secondary now. Fucking fuckers.
 
I bet mine gets canceled any minute. It's not available in the entire region and I think Walmart's policy is fuck you guys, we shipped all of our stock to five states and that is it only they can have them.
 
It's so weird that mine shipped. Usually my pre-orders get cancelled like everyone else's. Oddly it says mine is coming via OnTrac, while my other orders always ship FedEx. I've never had an order come by OnTrac. The reviews make it sound terrible (but who would bother giving a positive review?).

I'm going to Walmart in the morning to grab a Crystal Ball for Vicious. If anyone else wants one let me know tonight and I'll grab one for you.
To be safe, you may wanna just get whatever is left. I doubt you'll have trouble finding homes for them.

I’ve had a couple things come through them. Mostly from Ali Express. Maybe I’ve gotten lucky, but they haven’t been terrible? Feel like I’ve gotten things in a somewhat timely manner from them.

My Crystal Ball is still sitting at “Placed”. I did get the email about my order being processed soon. I feel like between some folks getting shipping notifications and some folks getting canceled, it’s like watching the Vietnam draft in the 60’s.
 
just kinda sitting here waiting for my cancellation notice, but I did get V4 Snake Eyes this afternoon and he is GLORIOUS. Ripped ridiculous full-on ninja madness. It's kind of hilarious to have my forever displayed 000 SE on the desk alongside the polar bear express stripped down version and then this one. Snake Eyes, GI Joe Fashion Icon!
 
Sorry for all the Crystal Balls getting canceled. I never got an order in so we're in the same boat.

Count me as someone who would NOT be able to get onboard with a Ninja Force Scarlett or her Chun-Li rehash. I remember when those Street Fighter GI Joes first came out being disappointed that they didn't look like the game and were obvious repaints of past Joe figures. Even then my radar for cheap and easy reuse was up (actually, there were a couple of cool ones: Sagat, Dhalism......but Chun Li was not one of them). Now if Classified DID do some kind of Chun-Li, the safe bet is that it would be an awesome release just like 99% of their other stuff. Thing is, the OTHER best retail action figure line out there today already did Chun-Li, they absolutely nailed her, and now I'm never going to need another Chun-Li. So any Street Fighter Classified figures would just be a huge ease on my wallet.
 
Jada and Classified are incompatible art wise to me. I would welcome their exploration and execution for that universe.

But it's not a major want at this junction.

Given how they ramped up Slice and Dice, I'm also curious how they'd do Scarlett. My big character design curiousity is Banzai. Do they tone that down, or just go Fuck It, Pink.
