G.I. Joe Classified - News & Updates

The one open hand on BL may be Starting Lineup, but I don't think the trigger finger hands are. Hahah.

Now that X-Men 97 Gambit, that's all SL, and it's terrible.

I stand corrected about the arms, but the non-trigger hands are definitely SL. I guess the arms must be all-new but yeah the trigger hands are Classified and too small for the frame. Ironically, Lifeline’s giant hands would probably be more appropriate.
 
I've always had a soft spot for Lifeline. I never got to collect Joes as a kid, but I randomly felt something under-foot in Lake Erie on vacation & it happened to be a 3.75 Lifeline! Thrilled to get him in Classified. I ended up giving him some smaller hands from the Law & Order set.

As for Lifeline: quick swap with spare greenshirt/bear Snake-Eyes/Duke/etc hands fixes him right up. I also glued the glasses to his head and cut off the strap on his helmet and glued the goggles down on top. MUCH better and also the lack of strap makes the helmet’s shape look more like the classic figure.

Holy crap, a clean swap, no tinkering with the pegs? I'll have to dig out the spare hands I JUST put away in the studio last night to fix him cos he's got the sort of mitts that make a dude feel bad about himself. He could palm his own skull.

Doing unrelated research, I just learned among Metal-Head's many working names was "Squash-Head Harry". Not the same, but real similar. Would be cool if this was an Iron Grenadier character, maybe even the rumored Mistress Armada.
 
Having received the Night Viper, I took some time to appreciate all of the Cobra troops I have that are post '87, which is the cut off for my display. That includes the Alley Viper, Frag Viper, Saw Viper, Range Viper, Night Creeper, and Desert Scorpion. I like how sleek the Night Viper is compared to all of these others who seem very heavy on gear, armor, and fire power. I really do prefer these as individual characters rather than troops. I'm just not as familiar with rosters after '87, so I don't have a lot of requests for those that haven't been made. I haven't even POed the Hydro Viper because he just looks too outlandish to me. Maybe I'll pick up if I spot in person. I'd probably want a Rock Viper, because that's the only one I could name off the top of my head.
