All the ones they've announced so far are probably a lock for me (especially to help pad out my EEL and Snow Serpent ranks), as well as the classic CC (though I'll probably sell my Mickey Mouse CC from the HISS).
Characters I expect we'll get on the Retro Cards that I would probably buy: Flint, Cobra Trooper, Cobra Officer. Wouldn't be entirely surprised to see a more "OG13" Rock n' Roll pop up in this line, either. If they debut characters in this line I wouldn't be surprised if Flash is released here, too. Though part of me wonders if they might drop some kind of multipack to round out the OG13 that aren't either already made or all but guaranteed to be coming through other means (Like OG13 Hawk with the MMS). Characters I'm not likely to care about: Any of those already released in the Wal-Mart Retros and characters that are already "classic enough" but may well get re-released on Retro cards (HA Roadblock, Classic Firefly, Shipwreck, Crimson Guard, Crimson Twins, B.A.T.s, etc...). I wouldn't expect more than two or three waves of these "retro cards" in a year, though, so they'll probably be milking this line for a good while to come. |

Scarlett for sure. I'm mean, I'll be down for at least 20.
Cobra Commander is a given. Outside of that, it really has to blow me away with the Retro. A torn shirt Zarana or vestless Range Viper? I'm in. The boring Crimson Guards really nixed my Retro desire. Broken Back Firefly, too. |

Cobra Commander. I'm trying real hard to just focus my future Joe collecting on adding to CC Corner.

And yet I can't bring myself to cancel the order. It's General Hawk. And he looks real cool. Even without the blond hair that I swore he'd have to have for me to get him. Dammit.

It has. I don't know why I have General Hawk preordered. I didn't want to. I'm prolly gonna have to work a miracle to squeeze him in when he gets here.

Maybe it would have a new head to give him the eye patch instead of cybernetic eye? |

I'm not planning on any, but I have a feeling if I come across a Snow Serpent, if it looks just like the 1985, I'll be buying him.

Of what's coming? Recondo and Eels, because favorite and troop builder.
Everything else seems pretty close to retro to me, with a few exceptions. I'd like to see Stalker, Falcon, Major Bludd and Flint get the retro treatment. Flint could use the Duke buck with different web-gear and shotgun. Bludd would work with different legs and colors. Stalker just needs a different paint job and more than the head sculpt, my disappointment with Falcon was his colors. Would like to see him in his 1987 colors. Flint and Falcon would easily be double dips. Unless you mean to ask who's going to get retro carded Joes That's already been done. Those 6 and Beachhead and Scarlett are definite buys for me. Anyone else, I feel is close enough to the original, it seems mute to re-do. Perhaps we will see certain characters in the retro line that won't be in the main line of Classified. Is Cobra Commander the Battle Armor version? What about Pythona and Slaughter's soldiers? Do they only show up on retro cards? I guess it all just depends. If retro will be original versions, those will be what I'm after. I'm primarily a collector based on nostalgia. I wouldn't say I never do it, but it's very rare when I purchase something based on how good it looks. Some people only buy what looks good. Others buy everything. Different strokes for different folks.
