I would buy Pathfinder IMMEDIATELY. I have no idea why, but I really liked that figure as a kid.

I would love to get Pathfinder. He is currently on my Top 10 wishlist over on the wishlist thread. Which is

1.) Blizzard
2.) Scoop
3.) Captain Gridiron
4.) Salvo
5.) Cesspool
6.) Recoil
7.) Muskrat
8.) Night Creeper Leader
9.) Pathfinder
10.) Eco Warriors Deep Six WITH DOLPHIN

I had to revise it after Sci Fi, Lifeline, and Hit & Run were revealed. But I have always loved Pathfinder. Such cool gear and attire.
 
Pathfinder isn't on my list and I never had him, but I won't be surprised if he's another one Classified does an amazing job with and I have to get.
 
I'd love to see v3 Snake Eyes come on the upper body ball joint just for variety's sake. I think it would work better with the double knives, too.

Joining in the "headcanon" discussion, I remember when I was getting to the age where I wasn't playing with toys so much, but still liked them (I had to look "cool" you know...Junior High sucked). I had read somewhere (and I don't know if this is even true) that Hama had previously pitched a S.H.I.E.L.D. vs Hydra animated series that Marvel had passed on, so when he was tapped for G.I. Joe, he used many of those concepts for the Joe and Cobra characters. So, in my head (and since Marvel was publishing the comics), I imagined that Cobra was a faction that broke off from Hydra, with Cobra Commander being far more interested in money and power than the fascist ideals of Hydra. To this day, that is always in the back of my head, even though I *know* that they are unrelated.

I always want to set up the Cobra and Hydra figures together but have one of those moments where the Cobra guys are cosplaying fascism and they realize the Hydra guys are actual Nazis and have like a moment of sobriety. And CC does what Joker did in that infamous Marvel/DC crossover and tries to kill Red Skull when he realizes it's not just a bit and Skull is literally a Nazi war criminal. "I'm comedically selfish and greedy, but I'm not genocidal, you POS!"

I always think of v3 as the “scariest” SE

I mean, V3 stripped that outfit by merking three sadomasochist torture specialists in gimp outfits and stealing their clothes so he could go on a killing spree. V3 Snake Eyes is "you think I'm crazy? YOU HAVEN'T SEEN CRAZY" Snake Eyes. I can't wait to get him in Classified.

90s Threw Up on Me and Made Me a Ninja Snake Eyes shipped from Amazon this morning. Normally I'd bee super impatient but I'm working my booth at a comic con all weekend so I won't have time to crack him open til Monday anyway, which is perfect, i'm going to need a pick me up after 72 hours straight peddling my ass (proverbially) at a con.
 
Re Snake v3 - they did make the knives removable for the 25th version but it was kind of a pain and they didn’t sit well generally. Be careful what you wish for…
 
Re Snake Eyes:

In the YouTube review I saw, it looked like the holes in the mask were inconsistently punched through or just carved out. Hard to tell because it never came up and the camera angle didn't explore it.

How's it looking in hand?

The washed one earlier looked great, which is what prompted this.
 
The lack of female characters releases in the near future (I can only think of Pythona?) is starting to stall my enjoyment of collecting this line, to be honest. The figures are great, but I think ML and TBS have spoiled me in regards to expecting at least 1 or 2 female characters per wave. I understand there aren't a lot of those in GI Joe, but there's still a bunch they could make.

And yeah, putting them as a tier in a Haslab doens't work for me.

That's fair. It was discussed the other week that there are only 14 unique women left (plus arguably Dr Biggles-Jones, Marissa Faireborn, and Dawn/Snake Eyes). But at least a few of them, and the ones we've already gotten, have multiple versions that I'm sure many would like to see done as well (Jinx's yellow/black movie suit is hella cool, and I'm still holding out for a classic version of Vypra). We've gotten Quarrel and Glenda already so how about Sparta too?

Ultimately though, it would be nice if they introduced a new one every now and then that wasn't just an army builder.
