G.I. Joe Classified Series

Your guys's Walmarts do clearance?

I saw some $17 Commander Codys and $12 jedi wookies earlier today. Nothing like that magical haul, though.

I'd be a lot more chill about how much toy prices have gone up the last two years if I didn't see so much of it go on sale or clearance!

NO! He's not an asshole. He saw it posted online and shared it in our local group chat. Many of us aren't on IG anymore, so he shares things he sees there with the rest of us.

Oh wasn't knocking your friend, just misread and thought he found the motherload of all our canceled preorders. (I think that IG account had like, three figures I just never got that I'd preordered. Walmart sucks, your friend was just reporting the facts.)

So I was trying to loosen up some tough joints on the first versions of Scarlett and Lady Jaye tonight on impulse (I sort of stopped fighting with their kinda stuck hip joints when the retro versions came out and I got good ones) and I was thinking, I'm mostly all about focusing on new characters they haven't previously made yet, but man I'd love a new non-retro Scarlett and Jaye since the line seems to have worked out those early QC issues with hips and elbows. Am I alone in this? I think Retro Scarlett is damned near perfect but I love the head sculpt on Wave 1 and retro Lady Jaye's a bit too aggressively green to me, wish I had better luck with her first version. I'd love another take on both ladies like we got with Cover Girl.

I'm kinda happy with the Jaye and Scarlett I have, but... yeah, I'd love to see another shot at both.

I really like both, but modern Scarlett's a little busy. I'd love a take on her that splits the difference.

Search & Destroy

Rise of Cobra

Energon (I think)

Ninja Force

Some of those I'd think we'll get before a proper Scarlett redo, but... yeah, something more now-Classified style could be really interesting. And Lady Jaye as well, for sure.

The comic cover is really a great blend between eras, but I bet we see Ninja Forcer first.

Agreed. As soon as I saw it, I knew that could be the one.
