Ah. Good to know I still have a little toy intuition left.
Retro/vintage Lady Jaye still doesn't make much sense to me. Baroness makes a lot of sense. I could see some of the following on retro cards as well: Snake-Eyes, classified v1 with silver visor Beachhead, camo pants Duke Outback, RAH v1 deco Cobra Commander, lighter blue w/silver trim Cobra Viper (different color scarf) Destro I wonder if any new-to-the-line characters will debut on a retro card? |

I wonder if they’ll do a re-deco Duke without the tech knee and shin pads in this new packaging….? I suppose I could get the field variant and swap his feet. Duke and Beachhead in particular would look so much better without the crazy, bulky shin guards. A lot of the original figure designs (a la the Alley Viper) really don’t require much up-designing because there’s still a uniqueness/freshness even 35 years later. Someone else mentioned the box art of the Alley Viper; I like the up-design, but I doubt many collectors will be disappointed with the version we got (which is very ARAH). And now that I’ve seen the updated versions of Spirit and Outback, I’m really hoping they’ll re-release characters like Duke & BH with different accessories and sans the tech armor.
BTW, has anyone swapped AC SE boots onto BBQ? BBQ’s boots aren’t bulky enough IMHO. I was waiting for my second Snake Eyes/Timber set to give it a try. Anyhow, just thought I’d ask. Sorry, I guess I’m on a feet/boot tangent. |

Bored at home and doing some Googling and stumbled across these which are pretty much in line with what I would love to see from a Shockwave Classified figure.....
Incredibly this is a 3.75 Inch figure.... Stronox Custom Figures: GI Joe: Shockwave |

Is it me or Sci-Fi was/is supposed to come out? He was in the Blackout game and was one of my favorite figures as a kid that I never had...
I finally got his figure as an adult!
