As requested, I'm started a wishlist thread! Jump in, the water is tepid!

My top ten most wanted Classified figures:

  1. Hooded Cobra Commander
  2. Snake Eyes V.3
  3. Jinx - Retaliation version
  4. Serpentor - IDW
  5. Krake - Cobra Commander
  6. Destro - Iron Grenadier
  7. Spearhead & Max
  8. Red Scream
  9. Desert Scorpion
  10. Glenda - single release. Night Force repaint, whatever it takes.
 
I struggled to come up with 10. Just about everything I REALLY want has been made. I need more arctic themed characters for sure and I'm always a fan of the aquatic guys. Hopefully the Fridge's likeness is something they will pursue.

Ok Iooked up the ones from your list and removed Destro from mine to make room for Spearhead and Max. I can't resist another animal in the line and a bobcat??? I didn't even know he existed
 
Ah yeah, der. I didn't even pick up on those two themes.

I wouldn't mind seeing how a Classified version of the later Snow Serpent V2 would look.
 
I had to look up V2. I'm not super well-versed on Joe's. If it wasn't in the cartoon often I probably don't know about it.

Those Snow Serpent V2 colors leave a bit to be desired for me but the Classified team improves just about everything so it would be interesting to see.
 
Oooooh yes please!
Disclaimer: my top ten changes, frequently and A LOT. At least beyond the top few.
But:

1. Hooded Cobra Commander, darn it!!!
2. Zombie-Viper
3. Snake-Eyes v3
4. Cesspool
5. Destro Iron Grenadiers
6. Snake-Eyes v5/Ninja Force
7. Headman
8. Toxo-Zombie/Toxo-Viper
9. Overkill
10. Robo-J.O.E.

Yeah this is always way too hard. But I definitely want the weirdos from later in the line. And MAN I want the Ninja Force Snake-Eyes design to get redeemed in Classified, it was so cool in the comics and especially on the file card, and yet the figure was ruined by awful t-crotch action feature nonsense and it’s never had an update.

I completely agree! The colors are goofy, though I know some collectors would love that. But I think it could be a cool design if they had their way with it.

Still a good list, but yeah... it's kinda more of 'well... these are kinda the first ten I looked on my excel sheet'.

I still can't say I'd get the ninja force Snake Eyes, but damnit I'd love if they redeemed him too. There seems to be enough fans for that!
 
Tougher to narrow it down to a to ten than I thought it would be.

  1. Spearhead (and Max)
  2. Flash
  3. Airtight
  4. Lifeline
  5. Wetsuit
  6. Muskrat
  7. Voltar
  8. Scoop
  9. Ambush
  10. Astro Viper

Couple of random runners up: Rampart and Stetcher, who were characters I knew almost nothing about but who survived childhood destruction of toys so long they were some of the last guys standing, and I respect that.
Bonus round: Listen n Fun Tripwire repaint
 
Special accommodations to Night Viper and Slice & Dice who would be on this list if they weren't at least rumored/shown to be coming to Classified.

1. Cobra Commander v6 (black hood)
2. PoC Jungle Duke
3. Headhunter Stormtrooper
4. Retaliation Cobra Combat Ninja
5. PoC Desert Storm Shadow
6. RoC TRU Exclusive Firefly (2009 v20)
7. PoC Zombie-Viper
8. PoC Dusty v14
9. Gung-Ho v3
10. Alley Viper v2

This list would be way easier to make if Pursuit of Cobra wasn't a thing. There are so many amazing designs that only need to be blown-up to 1:12 scale. I'm shocked they gave us Shadow Tracker, I wasn't expecting the team to give newer figure designs any attention. Worth noting, I'll buy each and every Ninja Force figure they give us.
 
I removed POC stuff from my wishlist on my collecting excel sheet, but if they were to make a lot of those, yes, I would be desperate for them. Just as is, like you said.

I tried to avoid the obvious "upgrade" figures and stick to the weird unique stuff. Like Dusty has a cloak and oxygen mask, which just looks so damn cool and unique to that particular figure. Maybe someday I'll come back and edit it to be two lists, one of '82-'94 and one of everything later, because in the end I cut a lot of early stuff in favor of PoC. Admittedly there is something enjoyable about seeing the old basic looks updated with modern sculpting, but at the same time, the newer designs have a lot of slam-dunks that really I just want in a larger scale with more articulation.
 
I am putting no restrictions here. Do a dozen top ten, "Top Ten Classified figures I want from 1982", heh. In fact, the more structured you make it, the more fun it may be.

But you're right about that Dusty, and I would absolutely love to have that as a different character on the shelf. Sandstorm or something. And yeah, the POC line really just... I loved that stuff. Not just the ton of accessories but the designs. Hell, I'd take another subline just for that. Classified, Retro, then... I dunno. Pursuit of Cobra... something. And just blow them up to six inch. And plenty more Snake Eyes!
