G.I. Joe Classified Series: The Chatty Pointless Thread & Performance Art

Giant Cobra Poodle is an instant purchase!

I can't believe it. Several days ago I was haunting eBay for affordable Ghost Vipers like the D.I.R.E.-Beast-deprived ghoul that I was, having just lost an auction that went over my 70 dollar limit. Lo and behold, there appeared a buy it now listing for the Ghost Viper for 55 bucks with free shipping! I don't think I've ever purchased anything faster or harder in my life.

Only in the post-purchase refractory period did I look at who I bought it from; a seller called vipoutlet. My heart sank, I just bought a Wal-Mart Exclusive Transformers Retro-Carded Seaspray from them last month and what I got in the mail was some old-ass busted up Transformer I didn't even recognize swapped into the Seaspray package. It took a few weeks to get a refund, which necessitated me shipping the bunk swap back to vipoutlet for inspection. So I tamped down my excitement for the Ghost Viper, figuring when it came it would be the G.V. box with a bath toy, some goldfish crackers and a play-dough approximation of a dog instead of the glorious green and ghostly goodness I so desired.

But no! I picked it up from my local FedEx drop today and it's really real! The box is beat to shit but it's all there! I'm over the moon right now, in absolute disbelief that I actually got this great set for under 60 bucks after tax and shipping. Y'all keep looking, keep hunting, and I hope that everyone that needs a Ghost Viper will get one expeditiously.

Now I gotta bust Cristobal back out of his box so I can pose up the ectoplasmic villain duo together!

It's so weird remembering Lifeline's ARAH figure as a smiling guy, like he was handing a plushie to a impoverished child, and now the new one looks like a freshman college student who really just hates waking up early and going to class.

I think they really missed the mark here, just in terms of channeling the look of that toy. Still looks like a great action figure though. Maybe ARAH accuracy never their goal. But it should be! The "RESCUE" on his leg just looks so sad on Classified.

They should make v2 Dr. Mindbender and give him an armoured poodle.

v2 Mindbender was the one I had as a kid and would adore a Classified glowup. Although I do wonder what a mind-control specialist needs a dildo launcher for...

Man, look at this loadout. Us 90s kids were spoiled!

I dug him, totally bought him as a teen and had fun with him. I don’t know about the yellow, though: maybe go black or grey.

It's Mindbender, you already know the answer.

You shut your fucking mouth you fucking fuckface fucker. If that figure comes out and it's not eye-bleed yellow, I'm holding you personally responsible.

I also insist that he have the card-art 'surprise orgasm' face.

What would my mom think if she saw the way you guys treat me here.

 

[AceofKnaves]

You shut your fucking mouth you fucking fuckface fucker.

SEE??
Cyber-bullied. Every time.

Fuck.

Fuck.

If we get a v2 Big Daddy Brainpower and you point out all the new parts he gets, then you're gonna see some goddamn cyber-bullying.
