Scarlett, on the other hand, actually looked good and I considered getting her, instead of the repaint version. I still might.

Storm Shadow was just fine - once the more traditional one comes out, you'll be able to use him as a troopbuilder specifically BECAUSE he's off-white / taupe / whatever.

Baronness, is, frankly, my favourite of the two versions.

Scarlett and Snake Eyes obviously were second / third versions of figures that people already had and there wasn't enough of a desire to grab those.

Akiko... sigh. That one died on the vine. Someone at Hasbro should have asked for the movie costume to be dark red instead of black and then everyone would've just bought her and pretended it was Jinx.

But you are correct the vintage feel and reason to keep them on card will be lost.

Right, but the prices probably won't be reduced. Which to me just kills the point of getting them. Might as well just put them in the regular Classified series as "redecos".

That damn giraffe neck just kills Baroness for me even though I bought two. I tried sticking her with my Femme Fatales group but she looked so odd next to Ada Wong, Widowmaker, Mystique, and others because of that long neck.

I love that Scarlett though. Not traditional outfit but who hasn't tried tossing that head on Redeco Classified Scarlett?

Akiko is filling that same niche I bought ME Helix for - a new Joe female who can join the team with me knowing nothing about them and giving them my own backstory. or fighting Electra.

Probably will order a second regular Storm Shadow and put the movie one's unmasked head on it. I used the movie Snake Eyes with a Steve Rogers head and some sunglasses from another figure to make "Rubber mask" unmasked Snake Eyes. Probably toss the Japanese dude head onto somebody else since Snake Eyes ain't no Japanese dude!

After visiting a local Target yesterday,finally decided to ask an employee about Clasiified.They had 7 friggin Gung Ho on the pegs ,along with a couple movie figs.Thats up from the 5 they had a couple weeks ago.I found a helpful toy dept guy who said he was fairly new in toys.Gave him the BAT dpci,oh yeah it says we have 8,6 on the floor.blah,blah,but obviously they werent.He went back and came back immediately with a slightly banged up box BAT,but i didnt care about that,at least i finally got one,sure i'd like to get 2 eventually,but i'm not too greedy.He said he didnt see any Alley Vipers,but i thought he said they showed they were in stock,but oh well.He seemed interested talking to me,or maybe he played dumb,cause i explained to him that nobody wants the Gung Ho,and people will buy all the BATS/AV,so i'm kinda glad they are in back,whether or not the store is intentionally doing that.Or maybe they really did get a solid case of Gung Ho ? Who knows,i guess.

Although, I wouldn't be shocked to walk into Ross for Less or Ollies one day and see an entire shelf full of Classified Beach Heads marked at $10/each. Stranger things have happened, time will tell.

That's a good example, because that actually did happen. Another user (BenjaminXavier?) did a great job laying out how any why it happened, and why a small regional closeout store was much more likely to get those compared to a Big Lots type store.

People here and on the Fwoosh have shown how to shave down the neck on the movie Baroness.

I have yet to do it but it seems like you only need an exacto knife.

I might try that.

I already fucked one up removing her hair to put that head on Lady Jaye.

Couldn't get the heads off no matter what so that's a fail.

Half effort on the Google Fu. Found the result of the mod but not the how to but it is somewhere here.
