G.I. Joe Classified Series

Am I the only one who puts all the gear into a communal container? In this case, those little pull-out shelving bins, one for small arms, one for rifles, and one for "other"? Easier to gear-up figures that are lacking.

You know, this is actually probably easier for when you just want to arm someone but my anal-retentive nature will not allow me to do it because what if I put the wrong gun with the wrong person and then god forbid I take a picture of it and post it online and then some nerd "ackshuallys" me and says that is the wrong gun.

Communal ziplock bags for all of my accessories. Usually by category, but I’ve gone smaller in a lot of cases. Like for Classified, it’s one bag for Joe, one for Cobra. For Black Series, there are a lot fewer accessories they come with, so just one bag with many mini bags for Imperials, Jedi, etc. For Marvel Legends, I have like six tubs with varying bags, by character. Spider-Man. Spidey rogues. Asgard. Rogue. I know where 99% of everything is.
 
I used to do communal storage and then got VERY neurotic about it when I couldn't find what I was looking for, so I started bagging by character (like, all of Cap's extra hands in one bag) and then I went full obsessive and started bagging individually. I do use the bags to pad the figures in storage so they don't ding up each others' paint, at least.

And yes, my cat belongs on a watchlist. He's also stolen ALL my good pens, several D&D minis, MANY dice, dozens of Christmas tree ornaments, and many socks.
 
I have boxes sorted by line and type for any series I know I will be collecting a lot of:
Neca-male heads
Neca-male hands
Neca-accessories
Neca-(blast) effects

I try not to use plastic bags since the toy's plastics can break down when confined with their own off-gassing. If you do, at least make sure there are some small holes for the plastics to "breathe." Or occasionally open them every couple months.
 
I stress out that the bins I store figures in aren't breathable enough. I should drill some additional holes in them. Although will I live long enough to see the plastics actually truly break down in my lifetime at this age.
 
I have bought toys that were MOC and only about a decade old that were breaking down (feel sticky, tacky, powdery etc. ) when I opened them, but have also bought some that were much older that had no issues. So it is possible, though, I can't say how likely it is.

Apparently G0963 - Ralph has been possibly cancelled or more likely moved to next year, still no word which figure it actually is.

Yeah Chris at The Full Force Podcast was saying that as well. Makes sense that it would just be pushed into next year.

Definitely strange they decided to go with only two figures, albeit army builders, for the last wave and break with the three figure tradition. Still I'm sure it will show up in 2026. I just wonder if it was going to be Major Bludd, or not.
 
Looks like we have us some leaked Cold Slither images over at: https://toyhabits.com/cold-slither-gi-joe-classified-series-sdcc-2025-exclusive-leaked-images/

They also have more pictures of the Retro BAT and a linked review on youtube: https://toyhabits.com/bat-retro-cardback-gi-joe-classified-series-in-hand-images/

The painted arms look great. Not only painted silver, unlike the original BATs in the line, but also the effect colors. Which I suppose can be a drawback if you're looking at them without the effects pieces. I suppose arm swapping is possible if you prefer everything else on the old BATs. I might need one of these guys for the variety, using both blast-effect arms to show off his fancy paint job.
 
That Retro Card B.A.T. looks amazing! I love these Retro Card figures based on the ARAH vintage toys the most. Too me, they are just exactly what I want. I wonder who Ralph is that was supposed to be in this Wave with the BAT and the Cartoon Joe Soldiers? Was there ever any rumor of who Ralph could have been, and if Ralph was ARAH toy based, or Cartoon based?

No matter what, I guess we'll find out next year.

I bought a bunch of these snap-top organizer things. They have the sectioned off interior where you can pop out some of the 'walls' to have larger or smaller compartments, and the containers can all be stacked and snapped together for storage. I love them. I bought two large (the top sections) and five smaller ones (bottom sections that can be stacked together).

I just toss all my accessories in those. Some lines need multiples because I have a lot of accessories. But I pay no attention to separating by figure. That's WAY too fucking much work. Realistically, I don't think I own -so many- figures that I'm going to get confused about who the various accessories belong to, with some exceptions. And even if I did.. whatever. They're my toys.

Those sound familiar. I have ones very similar, they're two-sided containers (probably for sorting screws) with clear tops. I keep all the effect pieces in those, the little separators are nice to avoid paint rub.

All this talk of storing extra junk reminds me how much I like figures that can store all their goodies. Classified is good with this, but making little custom stretchy-cord straps for rifles makes it great.
 
Amazon bumped the latest retro wave from Aug 4 to July 22. Mindbender, Rock & Roll, Viper.
