G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Figure Poll - #87 - Hotwire

[AceofKnaves]

I want SKAR characters way more than the Extreme good guys. Red Scream is a yes.

 

[Ru1977]

No, Black Dragon was the first Extreme character on this list, then Lt. Stone but it's taken me a couple months to get back there heh.

Red Scream is a kinda weird one because she had no figure and had apparently just appeared in the comic, setting up a mysterious plot, just before the comic was cancelled. So there's a lot about her left unanswered.

Day 86b - Ghost Bear (Valor Vs Venom) (12/7/25)

Another character never done in Classified, Ghost Bear was in the comics and is the son of Kwinn.

 

[AceofKnaves]

Ghost Bear YES!
But we gotta have Kwinn.

 

[Ru1977]

Agreed.

 

[Damien]

Ghost Bear is a lame Snake Eyes knock-off filtered through Jim Lee costume design school. I hate it.

 

[Ru1977]

And wasn't he a repaint of the awesome 90s Black Dragon?

 

[AceofKnaves]

And wasn't he a repaint of the awesome 90s Black Dragon?

Nah, the Extreme guys were 5.5inches and had incredibly limited articulation.

 

[Ru1977]

Nah, the Extreme guys were 5.5inches and had incredibly limited articulation.

Ah damn, I'd always believed he was a repaint for the three months I've known about him.

 

[DetectiveHoag]

Yes. Kwinn sr. then Kwinn jr.

 

[Chooch555]

Yes to both today. The line needs newer figures.

Ghost Bear rings my "every generation of Joes writers since Hama has tried to make their own cool-ass masked buy and none of them hold a candle to Snake Eyes," but I think they could maybe make him interesting enough in Classified to pick one up. I'm an easy mark for non-classic characters if they are female and unmasked; very difficult sell if they're masked and male.

Although in this case, the fact that he's Kwinn's kid gives him significant points. We gotta get his daddy first though.

 

[Ru1977]

I think they could maybe make him interesting enough in Classified to pick one up.

Agreed. He isn't a bad start, but could be made even cooler, especially if they tied him to his dad a little more.

 

[Damien]

Ghost Bear would be probably 50% better right off the hop if they just removed the stupid Jim Lee head sock. Give him like a Street Fighter Vega-style mask or something. Or maybe something similar to Desert Scorpion if you want his head covered as well. Anything but his silly little haircut sticking out of the top of his headgear like a goddamn muppet.

 

[Ru1977]

I can get behind that.
