G.I. Joe Classified Series

[Ru1977]

I may have hallucinated Airtight. Could've sworn we saw a render last year but I may have conflated him with Blowtorch.

I'm sure he's coming though. I think he's the LAST Joe from that year now.

There was a carded Cutter but he was the one from the OH SO 80s and 90s "Drug Elimination Force." His bio card got so much grimmer with that version, too. Gone was the "I can't believe the only Coast Guard Joe is from fucking Kansas named Skip Stone" and that makes me sad cos DEF Cutter was very pro prison industrial complex.

Yikes. Sounds like he may have voted for Rex Lewis.

Oh, they did have a repaint of classic Cutter that came with a VERY TINY version of the WHALE called the Night Landing Craft.

Haw! I had to look that up, brilliant.

This is what I was thinking of, which DID come with a Cutter but not the DEF one:

Man, a lot of my "I'd love that character" figures were vehicle drivers. Grand Slam, Thunder, Lamprey, Ace, Ice Viper...

Yeah. I hope for more like Copperhead than like Wild Weasel.

Lots of great choices.

I will add one of my favourite late stage 3.75" figures......The Data Viper from the Retaliation line. Still one of my favourite new figures and a design I think would look great in Classified. A couple of tweaks would be needed but I think Lenny could pull off an great update.

I had to look up the Data Viper, and I had him. He's a little over the top. So much gear for a specialist that deals with something intangible. Retaliation/Pursuit of Cobra had sick figures that I'm sure would translate really well to Classified. But I think some things could be sleeker. Mobility has to be a consideration. I mean, consider even Mainframe or Dialtone. They lug around a bunch of equipment with tasks, that realistically today, could probably be completed by a smart phone.
