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

Yeah, I've posted these here before, but I actually would be cool if they kept all the repaints they've done on the Cobra Island Viper just for them, then do any and all of these with the retro body. Or half of them, and the other half with a female Viper body:

Dammit, Ru, now I want the rest of those.

Hey here's a question for the more knowledgable folks out there - what the hell is Wetsuit's pistol called? I want to look at one in real life and I don't know what to search for. It simultaneously looks legit and real but also like maybe Han Solo has one on the Falcon in a desk drawer.

Whoa you mean FOUR.

Because Talking Battle Commander Cobra Commander NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

I'mma be honest; I forgot that line had Cobra Commander because I never liked blue CC, and so never owned or wanted to own that figure.

There’s also the OTHER Python Patrol Viper colorway. And the OTHER Python Tele-Viper.

Well let me tantalize you:
The same sculpt was used for Battle Corps Cobra Commander, so even if you don’t want to *buy* it, you definitely want them to make it.

Oh yeah, I want them to make that body - I just don't care if they make it a blue one because I won't buy that.

I never liked the Python Patrol colorway, but I think it looks really good as an alternate colorway for an officer. I almost bought the long-sleeve Viper in the PP scheme for that reason but I just... can't make myself love that old figure as much as I want to. So I'm hoping they do a Python scheme on the Retro Viper.

Those fuckers know they can get me to army build him again on the retro body.
Those fuckers.

I want all three of the Talking Battle Commanders variants SO bad. Those were MY versions of Hawk and Stalker, and Overkill was awesome.

Yes! Those were my commanders as well. Definitely need Overkill so much!

Overkill is a character where I need ALL the versions, even that weird “evil Robocop” version from the waaaaaaaaaay end of the 2000s “new sculpt” era.

I’d get every version of Overkill as long as I get the first fully robotic version with the big claw gun hand and a 50 cal double barrel machine gun that flips out of his chest!

the big claw gun hand

Hahahahahaha that crazy thing!!
Overkill v1 is just the most bananas design, even by 90s standards. Like all the other BATs are at least functional looking within a reasonable suspension of disbelief and then BAM Overkill comes along and he is weird even by weird robot standards! I remember seeing him on the peg and just going “oh cool an awesome Stalker, neat a really commanding looking version of Hawk sweet the best Hooded Cobra Commander yet and WHAT THE HOLY HELL IS THIS MAGNIFICENT WEIRDO?!?!” It was love at first sight. He’s an absolute freak and I need him in Classified NOW.

It was at this moment that Short-Fuze realized,

"Maybe it's a little late for the mortar."

I never liked that side-trail blast effect but it looks great here!

Looking at those Viper repaints, I want that Sage green one. When I think "masked militant terrorist" I think soothing sage green with silver accents. Maybe he can give me tips on revitalizing my peace lily while he's shooting at me.

They're going to miss me with that grey design with red lattice and gold accents. Gold's going to be a hard sell just in general, only Destro is pulling that off.

I knoooooooooow. Saaaaaaaaaaame.

Not sure of the exact model but it's an underwater pistol

Ugh...

I also want the other Overkill who was originally the SAW Viper.
