Day 79a - Wade Collins - (Marvel) (11/30/25)

It's a new week but we're concluding the final Comic Week of 2025 with Wade Collins. The final surviving member of the LRRP team with Snake Eyes, Stalker, and Storm Shadow, Wade was thought to be dead when kept in a POW camp. After his release, he returned home to find a country hostile toward veterans like him, and in his desperation he turned to an organization where he felt accepted and could gain power and respect. Wade became one of the Freds in the Crimson Guard until he reunited with his former squad mates and switched sides.

Wade could be done a few ways, all of them pretty easy with existing Classified bodies once you do his head. Vietnam War-era LRRP, Crimson Guard, or 'modern' soldier siding with Storm Shadow and Stalker.

 

[d2bruce]

Sure. He sounds interesting.

 

[Damien]

I missed a bunch, but for the record they were all nos.
It's nice to have near-daily reminders of how much I just did not like anything IDW was doing.

 

[DetectiveHoag]

I’d take both a Cobra version, and a US military version.

 

[AceofKnaves]

Definitely want Wade.
If made as a Crimson Guard, I’d want an alt Professor Appel head.

 

[docsilence]

I honestly don't know WHICH Wade Collins I want, but like Kwinn, he's a character from the comics who deserves a figure of his own and has never been given the attention his plotlines deserve. He's as OG as Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Stalker, and Rock n Roll.

Professor Appel

I have him on the list but didn't really think of him as someone I wanted. After you mentioned him, I had to go look into him again from the comics as I thought he was thicker than the standard Fred, but from I saw that wasn't the case. Why did I remember him that way? Either way, yeah I will need a Professor Appel too.

Day 79b - Cobra Air Trooper (11/30/25)

Introduced in the 2000s, we sorta got a version of the mask at least with the Valkyrie set and the CLAW pilot, but maybe we can do something for the fellas. Kicking off a full MONTH of all new, never-in-Classified characters from every medium and iteration, the Cobra Air Trooper.

 

[AceofKnaves]

Cobra Air Trooper is right at the top of my troops wants. Love the look, and this is a perfect time to give us a pinless Cobra Trooper body that is more accurate.

 

[DetectiveHoag]

I told myself that I was done with Cobra infantry.. UNLESS they released some new variations. This would qualify. A couple of these would be nice air support for Cobra, and could have some nice air combat duels with Starduster and the Steel Corps.
So, Yes.

That's a good point about the new trooper body. Have the Scar-Face collar, etc.

Day 78a - Scarlett - (IDW) (11/29/25)

Previewed yesterday in one of the Salvo pictures, Scarlett's look in the IDW comics definitely resembles her classic gear but with a little more of a tactical style.

Id buy her and headswap, cause I already have so many scarlett's but can never have enough women

 

[docsilence]

Air trooper is one of those designs that would just sing once the Classified team got its hands on it. I'd buy one and call him a specialist.

So far I have only one Scarlett... no, two, but I put the hat/goggles from the anniversary Marine Sniper on the movie Scarlett to be a new character (codenamed: Jawbreaker), but if they do this as a figure I'll probably just have two Scarletts. I already have enough redheads in the Joe team when contrasted with blondes and brunettes.

Any idea what his codename would be?
