G.I. Joe Classified Series

Yup!
For me it’s:
-regular armed forces: don’t generally interact with the Joes at all
-greenshirts: support, “best of the best” seeding for potential Joes
-Steel Brigade/Corps: hardcore commandos/specialists, some may become Joes but also the Brigade is an end in itself. Kinda “black bag” Joes.
-the Joes themselves
 
Well, after this discussion I think the two greenshirts I ordered are my new, Joe-side Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to mirror the two chuckleheads in Python Patrol.
"Hawk, we got these two kids, they're really good at their jobs but they are... they're never gonna be great soldiers."
"So you want to send me more weirdos."
"You have all the weirdos, sir."
"We specialize in weirdos, General."
"Coming from a weirdo like you, Flint, that's a statement."
"Look, can you just... take them off our hands?"
"... send me your weirdos. We'll make room for them."
"Do they have hilariously non-regulation uniforms?"
"Flint, please."
"Sir, you have a personalized space suit in your office. I'm just saying."
 
Just got an update from Amazon that Blowtorch, Darklon and Frag Viper got bumped up to a June 26 delivery date. So two weeks instead of 6.

I swear a female EMT or Paramedic was in the rumour mix at some point.

Oh, for real? I'd be all over that. Hope you're right. Seems like the obvious next step in this line presuming it stays strong.

I wholeheartedly agree ACAB (my oldest brother is retired, so I can finally say that - plus, he can sometimes be a bastard), but I 100% would love uniformed cops - AS GOOD GUYS, hey, it's all fantasy, right? ninjas & robots & superheroes? - and I'd totally buy two of those Riot figures, but I definitely don't need a full squad, but as many male & female dress blues, why not?

Toy cops are in the same vein as movie cops and video game cops. They're the best kind of cop. Fictional.

But yeah, I like the cop figure. I like it more now that we've seen more than the renders. I'm getting at least one.

I'd love to get a park ranger figure in this little sub-line. Give him or her a couple of pack in critters like a raccoon and beaver or something.

Jesus. This is gold. I'm sure a few here wouldn't hesitate to army build the beavers either.
 
Park Ranger but give them a laptop so they can post to one of those Alt-National-Park social media accounts that troll everyone. The Mt. St. Helens fake account is priceless.
 
I hadn't thought of a Park Ranger figure, but I'm all for it. Could come with a ful-sized brown bear. Maybe they could reuse some of the polar bear.

I like the Legacy figures. Real world heroes being part of GI Joe is something I thought they could do for a while. It's certainly been part of the brand from the very beginning. I like the upcoming Police Officer, although I wish it was more of a beat/patrol cop vs a tactical-looking one. I'd like to see an astronaut in the line as well, There are other variations of police which could be cool. Beat cop. Motorcycle cop w/motorcycle. K9 unit w/ dog (reuse from upcoming Law & Order set).

Also, I think the Legacy sub-line should have Adventure Team figures. Each with an animal. vs tiger. vs gorilla. vs octopus.

And historic soldiers. WWII. WWI. Vietnam. Civil War. Revolutionary War. Hasbro could try and get them into museum giftshops as well, as a way to reach a wider audience who may not be familiar with the brand. Adventure Team could potentially be sold at zoo giftshops as well.
 
That would be a smart move. Task Force Ranger from the early 90s, Seal Team Six etc, Delta operator. McFarlane did stuff like that a while ago.
