G.I. Joe Classified Series

Like many others, I never had any desire for Budo until the renders and action shots appeared. He was the only thing I preordered today.

As much as I want Hawk as part of the OG 13, I couldn't pull the trigger on the MMS on the same day the Stinger is sitting at 24% off and barely moving from Amazon. I never was a fan of the MMS. I'm pretty sure that and the Mobat were the only things from the first wave my brother and I didn't get back in the day. Hawk or no Hawk, I don't see it selling out on Amazon anytime soon.

I get there may be some Sarge overkill but I think the Renegades two-pack is great. I'd much rather have him in military gear and Mercer — a personal favorite — looks great. Not sure what this means for the other two — could Red Dog and Taurus really carry another two pack? They seem too C-list for that. It would have been better to split up Sarge and Mercer.

Kind of a lackluster stream overall. I was looking forward to seeing more new renderings at least. I didn't watch every minute. Nothing on the current or future Haslabs?

As AceofKnaves pointed out, Emily made it clear they would be back every week in June with more Joe news. Will it be a fan stream every time? Maybe.

Hint that a "chilly" Haslab will kick off by end of Yo Joe June. They're doing releases, if not streams, every week this month so no one week will be huge.

Yeah, thanks everyone, I missed that. Great news. Flash has gotta pop up one of these weeks. Maybe Sci-Fi!

And is that pretty much confirmation that the Haslab is the Snow Cat?

The wave seems to be Night Viper and Wet Suit, along with either Sci Fi or Flash, possibly both? I'm not entirely sure. Flash appears to be more likely.
 
Wet Suit better come with an unmasked head.
Flash is one of those that has an opportunity to be made cool in Classified. Curious how they will spice him up.
Night Viper can’t be anything but epic. I know he will be.
Sci-Fi! I hope he does make it in after all, although it would be weird to have both laser troopers in one wave. I think we can all agree they v1 Sci-Fi is one of those designs just made for Classified. He’s gonna be INSANE.

Agreed.

You better not have jinxed us!
But I agree. I'm even okay with they taking it in some cool classified direction then doing a more traditional one for retro. Hasbro, I WILL get both

I agree. And I wonder if someone who didn't know better saw Flash and assumed it was Sci Fi or something.

Agreed. He is NOT on my wishlist but I won't be surprised if I get him anyway.
 
If I were a betting man, Wet Suit gets the torpedo treatment, the hood up over his head with his face visible and a flexible helmet that pulls over that. No hair visible, but he'll have a visible face, because this line has been remarkably good about not shipping faceless Joes when possible.

Flash is one of my old-school favorites, can't wait to see what they do with him, and Sci-Fi is my #2 want for the line since it launched, and I hope they make him SO DAYGLO
 
So I was gratified to see that Slice and Dice finally filled in the numbering gap - 160 has been blank for awhile sitting there between Crystal Ball and Sunbow Snake Eyes/Polar Bear. Now we have some new gaps created. With Budo as #174... that leaves a four number gap between him and the Diver 2-pack which was 169. I'm guessing those 4 numbers will be the next rumored wave with Wet Suit, Flash, Night Viper... but then Hawk/MMS set is 182... so thats a huge gap of numbers to fill. Obviously the SDCC set will be in there, but not sure if it will be one number or 4.
 
My only hope for Sci-Fi is that they paint his silver parts rather than mold them in a marbled plastic similar to combat armor Cobra Commander. I can just imagine posing him next to Techno Viper, they're going to look fantastic together.

You may be right, but with how much unmasked exposure Wet Suit got on the cartoon with his distinctive Greg Brady hair, it would be a shame not to get him unmasked so he can flirt—I mean argue with Leatherneck. 😉
 
Welp, about 3 hours after I said I didn't see the MMS selling out on Amazon anytime soon, it's sold out. This is why I don't gamble ...

I gotta believe it's all about Hawk.
 
Interrupting new reveals talk for a late-to-the-party report.

I picked up Night Creeper from my LCS today. One of the characters that saw a lot of play time during my childhood. This guy is representative of why this is the best line out there. Look at all he comes with for the price: a back pack, two swords, a crossbow, an arrow (all of which fit on his pack for storage), two daggers that fit in his belt, throwing star hand and choppy-choppy hand, and alternate head that they could have absolutely gotten away with not including. This is a STANDARD release figure for Classified. It's all great stuff. I only feel like this after buying Jada Street Fighter and GI Joe Classified.
