Actually that Big Bear figure a couple posts up looks cool. Being born in 76, I had kind of "grown out" of Joes before Sunbow completed their run (not long after Arise, Serpentor Arise) so I'm not too familiar with a lot of these later figures (including the two announced today).
But with my youngest son being into Joes, I buy all the classified stuff. The ones that are nostalgic for me go on display and the others go in his toy bin. Win win! |

I think I?ve still got trauma from previous releases that were revealed before we were told they would be Cobra Island so Target exclusives lol.

I’m just catching up on all the news. I kept reading “Big Ben” but picturing Big Bear. Definitely would’ve preferred Big Bear. I have no connection to Range Viper other than it being the first boss in the first G.I. Joe NES game for some reason. That may actually be enough to make me pick one up.

You guys don't remember the dic episode where the range Viper was a former rival football player to capt gridiron? Watched that recently its in season 1 of dic.
I had a vhs of the Pharaoh's treasure episode so lots of range vipers in there. Might be why I like them. Also undertow. Always undertow. |

I barely know anything about Big Ben and Range Viper. I would appreciate Hasbro giving priority to Cobra Eel and Quick Kick. You know, ARAH cartoon characters.
I'm listening to the Full Force roundtable audio and he makes a point to ask about the future of ARAH Retro considering the Hasbro plastic reversal and he gets a pre-prepped PR response saying something like what was revealed during SDCC about packaging as part of the product and that course correction was too late for 2023 product so if they do continue 6" Retro bubbles, it would be 2024... so there's hope for filecards and stands. |

The Cobra Eel is one of my all time favorite action figure designs, period. I can't wait to see what Hasbro does with it in the Classified style. With Torpedo coming down the line, I'd imagine Eels can't be that far behind.

Being from the UK I was always annoyed that when we finally got a legit S.A.S. Joe figure in Big Ben , they chose not to go with the iconic S.A.S. image, like the one they did in the Palitoy Action Force range .

Being from the UK and moving to the states as a kid, I was happy enough to get a legit S.A.S. Joe at all. I'd always felt like a bit of a loner, having come from such a different background than literally all of my peers, so I just appreciated the connection to home. He's still one of my all-time favorite Joes to this day, and I'm super happy they're going out into left field to make it happen.
