If we get them...we might get him too.
 
Pulled the trigger on the new wave of retro. Zap was a no brainer. And Crazy Legs since I didn't buy the 'copter. I was going to skip the Crimson lady, but then decided to pull the trigger and have just one.
 
Can i just get something off my chest thats bugging me?

Why are so many Joes in Classified suddenly left handed? Like i get that some would be, statistically, but... it's getting to be a bit nuts.
I first noticed it with Storm Shadow V2. His Katanas are on the right hip, which would be for a left hand draw. Kind of annoying. Then the other day I got Budo, and its the same thing. Swords on the right, gun holster on the left. And then i started looking at my collection.. and its more than that lately.
Law from L&O is apparently a leftie; his baton is on the right, uzi holster on the left. Retro scarlets quiver (And so also Quarrels) are on the right hip as well.

In all honesty, being a lefty myself? I LOVE that so many of these characters are accidentally left-handed. I don't know if it was a design choice, if somewhere along the line all the design files got flipped, but as soon as I realized all the first few waves of characters were essentially lefty by default this became my favorite line.

(Is Lenny lefty? Because if this is some sort of guerrilla tactic to make the world's finest fighting forces left-handed, that's a hoot. Also fun fact: when I worked in film, lefty to righty was almost always 50/50 on set even though it's only 10% of the population. Also I don't believe in astrology but I was on multiple film sets where half the cast and crew were lefty and 90% of them were either Pisces or Scorpios and I thought that was a HOOT.)

Honestly... I'm kinda precise with this as well. I'm totally cool with Storm Shadow being left handed as his first figure was too (for his arrows at least), and Beachhead definitely. I also have a left handed Cobra officer which was entirely by choice. For Scarlett and Quarrel though, if they're holding the crossbow in their right hand, it makes sense to me they draw the arrow from the right hip with the left hand and load that way.
But I guess it depends on your ratios. I forget the percentage of left handed citizens but that list you made doesn't feel like a huge fraction of the line.
 
Yeah, it's my experience that in Creative fields of any sort, lefty representation spikes.

But for Joes and guns, lefty sucks. Hate the ejection port being right in my eyeline.
