G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Poll - #66 - Flash

I do like how Classified has attempted to give each of these generic looking soldiers more individuality. I'll admit, I never cared for this wave of original figures, but I respect that they were the first wave. They were very lackluster and really, to me they were essentially green army men with articulation. But the modern Classified interpretations at least give them a bit more personality, from Breaker's bubblegum, to Short Fuze's eyeglasses, to Zap's mustache.

The one thing that actually irks me the most is Scarlett. What's with this leotard she wears? Is that standard military issue? She really sticks out like a sore thumb to me. I know it's an iconic look at this point, but it also just seems sexist to put boys in fatigues and the one girl in a bathing suit. She fits in better with later waves when each character had their own unique design and color scheme.

"Listen! Do you smell something?"
Gotta have Airtight. And like Wet Suit, we need him to be able to unmask and have his distinctive hair.

I have no idea what else the term “Airtight” is used for and now I’m scared.
I guess it can be used for males and females, but I've only known it for females...it's when all the holes are full.
 
Definite Yes on Flash (and Grand Slam). Flash would finish a Clasdified replication of my original RAH collection.
