Okay so funny story, this dude survived everything from my childhood, INCLUDING THE HOUSE FIRE, but I always remembered him as being some kind of laser/fire trooper and not an aquatic troop. He is 100% a buy with that ugly ass armor because he is a SURVIVOR. Even though I prefer the OG Lamprey.
 
I actually prefer this Lamprey and I definitely dig the file card rewrite as a badass amphibious assault trooper, I always thought of him as an evil SEAL.
This guy is pretty high on my want list, along with several other Sonic Fighters like Viper, Major Bludd, Zap and Road Pig. Oh and urban camo junkie Falcon.
 
Somehow I have this vintage figure though I have no recollection of buying it, and stopped collecting Joe long after its release. It’s in very poor shape. I don’t think I need it in Classified but have wondered what it was for a while.
 
Not digging the colour scheme for this version of Lampreys. However I definitely want the figure in Classified and I'm sure I would pick one up if made in this colour.
 
And in Classified, the grenades will inevitably be removable, both for fragging fun and so that we can also have a Bludd in a plain Cobra blue uniform.
 
Bludd is a pass - I was never a fan of him anyway and I'm good with the one we have so far.
Lamprey is a pass - never had or cared about that figure and it still does nothing for me.
NF Spearhead -- Maybe? Probably? I dunno. OG Spearhead is one of my most-wanted figures. If they do that figure first and well, I'm pretty on board for variants. If they pull some bullshit and do NF first, there's a good chance I'd refuse to buy it on principle.
