G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Poll - #22 Multo (IDW)

Day 22 - Multo (IDW)

Penultimate day of the straight week of characters with no version in Classified yet. Multo is, as far as I know, the first Joe member from the Philippines.

If done with a distinct head/face, I would get him for my jungle ops team. At first glance, I thought the lady on the comic cover was holding a giant syringe. Need more sleep.

Yes to Multo on the Pinoy representation factor alone but he’s clearly not iconic not proven ti be essential.

 

[canprime]

I would need to see how they implemented him as a figure before saying yes at full price.

 

[DetectiveHoag]

Can’t say I’m familiar with Multo, but on the surface, I see nothing to set him apart from any other Joes in terms of speciality. Doesn’t seem like he would stand out. I’d love Hasbro to prove me wrong. Until then, likely pass.

And less horse tranquilizers apparently.

 

[AceofKnaves]

I’m new to Multo.
He looks like he was designed more with “interesting comic book character” in mind than “cool toy”, but I would be open to seeing what Classified could do with him.

 

[Ru1977]

I'm sure they'd look at him and say "alright, lose this, that, and this... Now give him some of this, add a few of these, alternate head, and get something from the drawer with accessories cool enough that some will have to buy no matter which figure they come with."

 

[Chooch555]

They'd have to Classify him up, but yes I'd lile Multo. Latter IDW ARAH had pretty soft art/design unfortunately.

 

[Ru1977]

Right, the diversity is great but kinda original-13 level of blandness. If they do him, I would be surprised if it's exactly like on the page.

 

[PantherCult]

Yeah... I would need a little more design in that design. I like representation in my collection, but that just looks like a dude I'd see at Costco or something. He doesn't scream 'elite military force member' to me there.
