G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Figure Poll - #235 - Iron Grenadier (Spy Troops)

I like how the art has him standing on one leg so he can prop that fuckin' cannon up on the other knee. (I know, I looked closer and he's taken a knee, but initially it made me laugh. Because of course he has to prop it up; look at that thing!)
 
I don't think there's any way to make Bullet-Proof a figure that I find visually appealing in Classified. He would need a whole new outfit.
 
I'm a sucker for goofy camo. I'm still waiting for a Joe in this camo:

It's always funny to see such contrasting designs for camo.

Clearly the first example is of a military that understands it's home environment and designed their camo for that exact purpose. They look like they would work amazingly well in the brush of their country (at least from that pic).

The second one confuses me. It looks like they are some sort of fire brigade/division. So the camo is probably just for show because I don't see how being camouflaged from fire, or during a fire, is in any way useful. :ROFLMAO:
 
The first is actually from a wild life preserve agency in Zambia, and the second is from the Philippine Bureau of Fire Protection, so I guess it's less about blending and more about being recognizable as someone with a specific purpose. I want those tactical tangerine ones for awhile, and they have some really wild designs out of Africa, but they are super hard to get sets of outside of their home countries.
 
The wildlife preserve camo actually gave me "hidden picture" style eye strain and I think that's probably EXACTLY what it should do - a design that serves its purpose and doesn't care if it looks kinda wild out of context.

That fire camo look actually feels like it could make for a fun action figure, but specifically because sometimes you look at a Joe or Cobra and think: you ain't hiding from SHIT in that outfit but you look cool anyway, and that's how that looks to me.

Hell yeah, Special Ops Chester Cheetah

One more since I've spent the last hour looking at wild patterns: Cobra getting ideas to base a new Viper type around the camo

Fuck yeah, go go Zebra-Vipers.

Special Ops Chester Cheetah would be a great punk band name.

Weird. Looking at this pattern on the screen is giving me eye strain. I don't know if it is the pattern in general, or the combination of all the men wearing it together in the pic.
