G.I. Joe Classified Series: The Chatty Pointless Thread & Performance Art

Yeah, it's wild to me that I absolutely hated the 'noks as a kid and they are my favorite sub-line at least on the villain side these days. I'm all in for the trashy weirdos.

If this line starts doing dinosaurs anyone ELSE doing dinosaurs is screwed. It's stupid how good all the animals Classified makes are.

How the hell big is a Water Moccasin going to be in this scale? I'd love MODESTLY SIZED BOATS for Classified, to be honest. I mean the WHALE is my dream but I don't actually want their ginormous watercraft, I just want something for Copperhead and/or Shipwreck to chill on, Eels and SEALs to stage missions from...
 
Copperhead needs dat boat to go crabbing with Crocmaster on the weekend.

I don't know if I would be more excited about the Trike or Thundermachine. Trike is more space friendly, but TM is a redneck engineers wet dream.
 
With Gnawgahyde arriving tomorrow, I'm realizing I have all the Dreadnoks but Buzzer. I really hope he ends up with a second pass retro release, because I have no real enthusiasm for the first one. A "we goofed" apology retro wave with Buzzer and Lady Jaye would be pretty nice, not sure who else would need to be included.
 
Yup, especially hips- instead of a drop down it's more of an angle out, and she's perpetually in a power stance and not super sturdy. I don't notice it half as much on Cover Girl so it's probably more the internal parts of the joint, but who knows. As for Buzzer, I let the internet talk me out of him, between the glasses and some floppy joints I got a pretty negative impression. If I'd ever found him in person I probably still would have snagged him, though, because weakness
 
Buzzer might have been a mileage thing. I never had an issue with either. Joints were good and I used hot water to flex the glasses inwards for a little more tension. In fact, it's the one that doesn't have removable glasses that jumps out at me now.

My original Lady j was terrible. I had three, and two of the three had fused double jointed arms. I think that was the first one they put that effort into. And yeah the hips were awful.

I never had an issue with the retro. But I would happily take a reissue anyway because the plastic on the newer figures feels different then some of those older retros and original. It's all fresh in my head because I just pulled them out from my purge.
 
Just sat down with the Adventures in Collecting Podcast mentioned earlier and hearing Tony AND Lenny talk about loving Ninja Force Storm Shadow made me want to scream. If you really loved him, you can't tell me the figure we got is good enough for your collections. Come on, guys. How many years you gonna make me beg?
