G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Poll - #67 - Deep Six (RAH)

Yeah, I definitely preferred v2 and v3 Deep Six BUT if they wanted to go all out and fully articulate the diving suit, I’d be all over a v1 Deep Six.
 
How did I fall FOUR characters behind?
  • Airtight is actually my #2 most wanted figure right now right after Spearmax. Removable helm and bad hairline is a MUST. His real name is a top five "WTF was Larry drinking that day" names in the entire line and I love it.
  • Flash is ALSO in my top ten list - gotta finish out the old O13! (He was a favorite character of mine as a kid, too - clearly I had a thing for the "laser guys" since Sci-Fi is my most anticipated figure of THIS year.)
  • Viper Pilot - man, he does nothing special, but I do like just having a bit of variety in my generic troops and giving them a head canon backstory. Sure, I'd like him, maybe make his colors mirror the female trooper who came with the the CLAW.
  • Deep Six is a special case. I HATED the figure as a kid because he had such shit articulation, but I would ADORE seeing him fully articulated for Classfiied, absolutely would buy and would prefer he comes with a SHARC similarly sized to the CLAW. I'd also like him in his later costumes, too, but I am TRULY interested in seeing classified make him with full articulation.

More specifically, a SHARC that'd fit in a box the size of the CLAW so it can sold be at retail. The Classified CLAW is fucking huge for what it does.

I do like how Classified has attempted to give each of these generic looking soldiers more individuality. I'll admit, I never cared for this wave of original figures, but I respect that they were the first wave. They were very lackluster and really, to me they were essentially green army men with articulation. But the modern Classified interpretations at least give them a bit more personality, from Breaker's bubblegum, to Short Fuze's eyeglasses, to Zap's mustache.

The one thing that actually irks me the most is Scarlett. What's with this leotard she wears? Is that standard military issue? She really sticks out like a sore thumb to me. I know it's an iconic look at this point, but it also just seems sexist to put boys in fatigues and the one girl in a bathing suit. She fits in better with later waves when each character had their own unique design and color scheme.

I swapped the legs out for Covergirls on mine (The first CG) and that looks a lot better IMO. Hell Id have probably just kept using the first one if it had double elbows.

Nah, I'm with him.

Something about this thread ends up where I'm 3-4 behind despite posting here daily.

I don't care about Deep Six, but I'd like to see how they do him.
