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

Damien said:
That sounds like a very nerdy sex position, so first of all I'm in. Secondly, I do not own a Scarlett. Thirdly, goddamn I just do not like this as Snake Eyes. I thought about a different head and the bare hands, but even then I have no idea 'who' this would be on my shelves because the color scheme is so.... a lot.

Pop a weird head on him and make him some a demented experiment of Dr. Mindbender. Or, make him some sort of Cobra operative possessed by an unholy force summed by Crystal Ball!
 
I also have nostalgia for this dude. One of the last ones I picked up before... Maturing into Spawn, I guess.

Viper (v4) G.I. Joe Action Figure - YoJoe Archive

Viper was released carded in the thirteenth series (1994) as part of the Battle Corps subset. The Battle Corps figures were numbered 1 through 13 - Viper was number 5.Viper was discontinued in 1994.

Also always loved the 1990 colorway for the Viper, which I called Copperheads.

V4 Viper is cool. I actually don't think I ever had that figure as a kid.

I guess I eventually have to get Crystal Ball or Dr. Mindbender. See, now I'm just buying more figures to justify figures I already have. Haven't we talked about doing shit like this in a different thread? Terrible idea.

Copperhead probably loves having a backup team like that.
 
3 snow guy repaints and they're all dudes? It's like they're not even reading my rants on this small forum and taking them to heart and immediately swapping what they're making to what I said they should do. what the hell man.

joking aside...arctic Big Ben is great, arctic SAW viper is okay (gonna look tiny fighting big ben), arctic night viper is a big meh because I'm passing on that figure due to lack of any boot swivel. All-together they're kinda lame. I wish Hasbro wasn't going all-in on the winter stuff all of a sudden. Jungle would have been better. Whatever, it's all good. I wonder if there's a figure that would look incredible with the black wolf pelt. If anything, I just want that wolf pelt to try on all my dudes.
 
I was wondering if it's a five figure wave and the other two are Scarlett and Baroness. Really hoping both come with masked heads or something so I can have them be new characters. but yeah, an arctic HISS Gunner or something? When the fuck will Hasbro just let us head the Classified team already?
 
I'm gonna be pissed if these repaints are taking up regular figure spots. Kind of figured they'd be fan channel or Pulse exclusive.
 
Damn, Joe drivers over Cobra drivers?

I’ll buy Joe drivers, but they are most “just some guy”. Cobra drivers are AWESOME.

I mean, come on: Keel-Haul?
Or W.O.R.M.S.????

Re: repaints taking spots:
Nah, I don’t think they are, I think rather that repaints and figures with minimal new parts help drive the line. These are no different from Tiger Force or Python Patrol, except they are more specific to other things coming out at the same time. This may be the “HISS Fire Team” of this year, whether offered in a set or individually.
 
I thought for sure it would be like the HISS Fire Team, especially since the SAW viper comes with extras. Preternia says they're individual releases but I don't trust them to be 100% correct.

yeah, I watched the video and they don't say either way, just something that'll go up next year.
 
I'm happily picking up all 3 of these snow dudes. I was lucky enough to acquire Snow Job, Snow Serpent v1 and the Arctic B.A.T. when they were first released and I've been worried that I won't get many more cold-weather characters to go with them because all of the recent ones have been locked behind giant vehicles I have no room for. Happy that I'll have a decent little snow display without having to shell out the big bucks for the Haslab figures or the H.I.S.S. driver.
 
Is the Joe line the only Hasbro line that hasn't done a "In case you missed it" rework of figures? Marvel, Star Wars, and Transformers has.
 
Huh. I guess not technically, aside from stuff like Major Bludd or the Alpha Snake Eyes, which still isn't a greatest hits kinda thing.
