I have posted the second Interview with Lenny on Hisstank below, here is the link for those that have Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/p/C29xGYBO...liNGJqbm9rNGJl
Interview with G.I. Joe Classified Co-Creator and Lead Designer Lenny Panzica - Part 2 Who are your top 5 favorite characters? 1. V2 Storm Shadow - Loved the whole Anti- hero vibe and his camo was so different at the time 2. Zartan - Even as a kid I dug the whole Alice Cooper face paint. Also, his backstory was wild. From being able to speak 20 languages to practicing the mystic arts. That?s why he has the snake head and monkey paw on the V1 Classified version. I wanted to lean into the mystic arts. As if he is blending some sort of nanotech and mysticism to create his disguise technology 3. Orange Alley-Viper - I can remember playing with the Alley-Viper as a kid on the stoop. I was in awe of all the details.* Joes just have so much sculptural detail that bring the characters to life. Not to mention the orange and blue color scheme. So bright but in an awesome way I specifically remember making him a Cobra defector because I liked the design so much, I had to make him a good guy 4. B.A.T.S - they are literally the perfect bad guy troop builder. They look good in every color and have swappable hands for different tasks. Also, the exposed internals were an interesting take to help sell them as a robot to kids in the 80s 5. Scarlett - Not only is she tough as nails she always had a smart comeback in the cartoon. I love the scene when Duke is complaining about someone landing the Skystriker too recklessly and out pops Scarlett. Then literally seconds later Cobra shows up to take out the new Skystrikers so her and Duke flip into action. Literally flip into action! What are your favorite G.I. Joe vehicles? When I was a kid, I?d have to say the Warthog A.I.F.V.* It had Warthog face graphics and it carried at least 7 Joes at a time. It was also meant to be played with in water. I loved the commercial for it! ?Over the water and in the bog the warthog fights like a rabid DOG!!? Man, this brand had the coolest commercial jingles! What are your favorite Cobra vehicles? THE NIGHT RAVEN!!!! My brother and I found it before my parents could wrap it for Christmas! My Dad being the awesome guy that he was let us unbox it right there! I think he secretly wanted to play with it to Favorite G.I. Joe Base - Headquarters, Mobile Command Centre, or The General? All the options are sweet, but I have to do a write-in and go with Rolling Thunder! Like the Night Raven my dad got it for me, so it has a sentimental place in my heart. It also had a ridiculously oversized machine gun and a hidden rocket tower Thank you to the @weatherdominator and @hasbro - Now you know, and knowing is half the battle!

See the underlined portion is why UPDATED file cards and or bios are so important to the G.I. JOE line. Damn near every time Lenny does an interview (or livestream,) he gives an explanation as to the "hows," and "whys," of shit. Whether it being the JOE Pros being com links with maps, COBRA Island R.B. wearing a line cook's cap or this newly revealed info about the monkey paw and the snake's head. The JOE team just needs to put this info somewhere on the website or have the QR code do something other than take you Hasbro Pulse.

I always thought Road Pig was one of Lenny's favourites, but he didn't even make the top 5.

At first I thought the same exact thing, but then I noticed in this interview he is asked who his top favorite characters are. In interviews and streams, he's usually asked which characters would he most love to work on in the Classified line. It's always Road Pig, v4 Snake Eyes and Cesspool that he mentions for that specific question. I suppose they are very different questions and could have totally different answers.
