G.I. Joe Classified Series

[vicious]

I still think the old ones look amazing as just guards standing around. Something about the long sleeves and big gauntlets make them look more menacing than the new Retros.

Is anyone else wondering if they'll release this Retro sculpt in a color scheme closer to the Vintage figure/the Viper Island release? The blue on these Vipers keeps turning more red/purple toned with each release, while the original was a green-toned blue.

Here's a comparison image:

What I want is this new retro Viper build in Sonic Fighters colors! Fan channel exclusive two-pack with that and Sonic Fighters Lamprey. I’d buy 5.

I imagine that is almost definitely gonna happen.

I...
I need those figures to happen. I love when Cobra goes full "f*ck color theory, we want this to hurt to look at"

 

[AceofKnaves]

Serve them up with spray-tan Super Sonic Fighters Road Pig!! Gotta get some use out of that mold!!

The way you put that completely changed how I see such repaints.

Honestly: the more ridiculous the ARAH figure/color scheme, the more I want Classified to just go apeshit and INSIST on it until it’s awesome. Robo-J.O.E. or bust!!

My youngest saw Zartan and his exposed midriff and basically asked what's that about. I can't wait for her reaction to Mindbender.

Got in my retro Rock n Roll yesterday. Love him. Been with RAH since the beginning, so I always like seeing OG13 characters made. My only issue (and it's not really an issue) is the ammo container plugging onto the belt. It's an interesting idea. But it doesn't quite stay in very well. I have RnR using an ammo belt anyway with the gun, so I'm fine with just putting the ammo box in a baggie and not worrying about losing it.

I think it was over on the old boards where I mentioned how as a kid I thought Mindbender was so strange, but as an adult I could name at least a half-dozen of my very good friends who would be SHAMELESSLY hitting on him at the bar. Zartan's midriff is one of the tamer weirdnesses in this line.

I'm 99% sure I still have that Sonic Fighters Lamprey in a box at my parents' house along with a very battered set of Centurions I keep meaning to steal before they give them to the grandkids to destroy.

 

[Ru1977]

I believe so about the old board, and yeah that made me see him with new eyes too.

I mean I figure when you are an evil dentist who has mastered mindcontrol, robotic, and gene splicing technology as well as , by looking at his physique, hitting the gym about 3 hours a day, you can dress however the fuck you want.

 

[Ru1977]

Clearly he agrees.

I picture them going to a bar or something and Destro said "can you put something on for God's sake?" So he threw on the cape and that was that.

 

[AceofKnaves]

Bruh Mindbender was absolutely goals and also an absolutely unattainable standard. A massive nerd who is also such an absolute unit that he rocks a bare chest with industrial suspenders, knee-high stormtrooper boots, PURPLE LEATHER PANTS AND A CAPE?!? Even the mustache is amazing. “Silly looking”? Are you kidding!!?! That is my ideal fashion right there, seriously. Dude would CLEAN UP on the floor at any goth club. Epic.

Tell her that if she had abs like that, she'd only wear crop tops too.

This. Gimme the crazy or GTFO with your cowardly bullshit.
