well I'm in a group that has 10k members and it looks right down the middle over there... I doubt there are many more joe fans that collect the line outside that group.
who is waiting on that stuff?... Half the people already said they aren't interested in that wave. I think we already quietly walked away and it's up to you guys to support it now. My advise is to just buy multiples of everything. If Hasbro sees those numbers drop they will either revive classified or drop the line like they always do. |

Anyway, we will see. I think it's pretty obvious your perspective is the minority but if you're right, we can all enjoy G.I. Joe crashing and burning because of a lack of shin guards and gauntlets and gold paint.

so your answer is YES... For like 2 years you've been just collecting shit you hate lol. The alley viper and storm shadow waves aren't even really out so everything till just recently has been very overhauled. I'm tired of the 80s dated designs. Joes need to upgrade and leave Vietnam behind. Someone said the twins are so plain they look like marvel legends that couldn't be truer. They nailed it with the cobra island stuff they should have just stayed the coarse. I bet about 50% of us drop the line next year and it will tank.. The community is divided in 2 perfect sides. I hate vallaverse but from here on out... they are making better figures than classified that modern gear just makes figures look better.
First, you aren?t wrong about 80?s designed being dated. I?m fucking over it too. Big time. You?re an artist, like me but a digital one. That means you are 100% imagination arguing with people who share 20% of imagination combined. They are in a different mentality. They just want toys. The exact toys they grew up with. Which suite your point of being 50/50 down the line. Some say more. Some say less . The guys who insult you are basing their knowledge of toys on the same premise you are , opinion. No one bickering about a fucking toy is dropping facts. Just opinion. With that said my opinion, which is important to some and hated by some as is anyone else?s here is this. You?re an artist. And a good one. That alone limits your platform on ?opinion? because people here don?t like when you are good at something. AND have an opinion. So even if you stated fact, an entitled opinion will be right behind it to attempt a debunk. Keep that in mind. Firmpulse is notorious for that. Lastly, my opinion, you?re crazy as hell if you think Valaverse figures are better than Classfied. I own both. Although you and I agree change is need on concept/design, the toy themselves are awesome compared to Bobby Valas Entitledverse. Just my 2cents. But unlike a lot, keep up the good work on the digital renders. Takes pride and ego to post your work out there for people especially showing unique changes to fan favorites. Imagine if Joe fans across the community United? I know, shot in the dark.

Lenny did, in fact, call it the Blackout aesthetic when he said they would be moving away from it.
We debated this a lot in late 2020, but it seems unlikely that Hasbro based action figure concepts for the launch of 6" Joes on the concept art for the video game. It was probably the other way around.

I wasn't a fan of that aesthetic, but I also don't collect Classified, so I'll be on my way. ;-) |

The guys arguing with you don?t understand your mindset. If they did , you?d have a lot more understanding.
