Witholding judgment on Snake Eyes til I see it tomorrow.
I'm glad so many people are enjoying Classified but for me it's too big, Joe for me has always been more than Figures, it's Vehicles and Playsets and 6" is too big for 90% of those. You are going to get the Motorcycles we have seen and not much else. I myself have been all in on Retro though it's failing so far has been it's a Walmart Exclusive and the Distribution has been God awful. Next year is the 40th Anniversary of ARAH so I'm hoping that the line goes full Retail

Personally, I'm so glad Hasbro made Classified because it got me back into Joe after a long hiatus. It was frustrating at time to collect, but now I already have more than enough figures for a respectable GI Joe collection. Not bad for a line that's been out for a little over a year at this point. I do hope that Hasbro is willing to experiment a bit more with vehicles because that's really all that's missing.

Classified is amazing. I only care about the movie because I want Hasbro to make millions so it keeps releasing tons of Classified figures.
Really, though, if they would redo Cobra Commander and make Jinx, I'd basically have everyone I care about, so that's pretty impressive only 12+ months into a line.

Yeah they've managed to release a great GI Joe figure collection in about a years time. Yes there are more characters that I want, but if Hasbro said that's it I wouldn't feel like my collection is incomplete.

Destro,
This was very well written and I appreciate the honest breakdown. I am excited to see this movie and I enjoy the new twists when re-booting a character for the screen. One of the biggest disappointments for me ever was watching SIN CITY as a movie. Visually amazing, but since I poured over every inch of those books for years before the movie, I knew every scene, panel for panel so there was no WOW moment of surprise. I can't wait to see the new adventure and see where GI JOE goes from here!

Classified is great and seeing lot of non Joe collectors buying the figs too cause they are pretty great and the 6" feels more like an adult collector item.
I think if the tv series pans out, we will hopefully really see GI Joe forming into something Live Action that can please all fans and build on what they started, I do hope that SE is not a stopping point if it does poorly but think Hasbro is all in so far at least to start. We also got an upcoming animated series and just look at all the new licensed products. We got WOTC working on digital games, and we got table top games now coming from Renegade games. Classified novel series starting up soon, and more. It's a good time for GI Joe fans Last edited by PanzerKrake; 07-23-2021 at 03:59 PM.. |

I think the decision to not let Snake Eyes wear his costume was a MASSIVE mistake. It makes me think that the filmmakers were too afraid to break the wall of reality by having him wear the suit. I enjoyed the film however at times I found myself incredibly bored and unsure whether I actually liked this character. They made him very unlikeable and it’s not a great way to start off a franchise.

Really, though, if they would redo Cobra Commander and make Jinx, I'd basically have everyone I care about, so that's pretty impressive only 12+ months into a line. For being a year or so in, we have got a nice roster though, and a well balanced one. Unless I'm forgetting someone, there are 10 characters (or troop types) per team. Of course, already having 2-4 versions of some characters detracts from that some what, but for the single version collector like myself, it makes for a nicely balanced shelf.
