They should make the rednecks from Deliverance crap themselves. LH wanted to portray them as idiot-level bogans but they were scariest when he had them destroy an airfield.

I guess I always saw the Dreadnoks as being kind of like the Meth Nazi Bikers from Breaking Bad except without the meth or white supremacy.
Minus, of course, Zartan and his siblings, who are clearly supernatural and highly educated to pull off the character work they do. It's weird how little background they have and how what little there is, isn't really canon. But I guess I see Zartan drifting around a bit after leaving Australia and after he gets his powers and he attracts these hard-living biker guys like a cult. And they pull various basic criminal acts, very street level. They probably do stuff like the bikers in Breaking Bad, posing as exterminators and making spare keys to houses later. They're probably also a lot like the Irish travelers seen in Eddie Izzard's The Riches. Winnebagos full of fake driver's licenses. Credit card skimming machines. They're engaged in crime at a level that Cobra isn't. Cobra has lawyers and shell companies. Heck, they have cities. They have sympathizers in law enforcement and the military and elected office. Cobra is somewhere between Disney, an organized religion, a multi-level marketing company, and a nation-state. Whereas the way I see it, the Dreadnoks don't have cell phones except to run scams and live in campers off generators and scrape by on cash from bar bets and stolen credit cards inbetween paying gigs from Cobra. That's the appeal as I see it: Cobra has cash that the Dreadnoks need. And, to Cobra, the Dreadnoks are people you keep at arms length for when you need tires slashed or businesses burnt down. Except for Zartan and Zarana, who are capable of operating in high society easier. |

I’m a little annoyed as I am finally starting to enjoy the Classified line (after resisting for so long) and I keep missing out on the Sepentor restock on Pulse. Every single time they restock, it’s sold out in two seconds.

I got a Hasbro Pulse membership for free shipping & hoping to get in on preorders before they sell out. The day the Range Viper went up the email came 15 minutes after they went on sale to members, and by the time I saw the email they were sold out. Wish they’d give more of a heads up for drops like that. Walmart is atrocious when it comes to exclusives. There?s several I never see until maybe a year later.

Please answer

When one person adds nothing more to their *insert character* posts it becomes repetitive and redundant.
When others do it they indulge in discussions on other topics and don?t avoid questions that don?t relate to their *insert character* fandom. I am all for someone?s love for certain characters, DT, but you can?t seem to grasp that not everything revolves around Zandar and Zarana and any invite from other posters to discuss other things you like about GI Joe falls on deaf ears. I will personally ask you again, I invite you to answer the following questions; 1. Outside of the Dreadnoks, who are your most liked characters and why? 2. You?ve read the comics, what story not involving the Dreadnoks did you enjoy the most? What issues were they? 3. Did you watch the cartoon? What was your favourite episode? 4. How many o-ring characters did you have growing up? How did you play with them? 5. What are your thoughts of the transition of Classified from the more Operation: Blackout style of the early waves to the more ARAH design based now? 6. What are your Top 10 most wanted Classified figures outside of the Dreadnoks? 7. What are your favourite Classified figures outside of Zartan and Zarana? 8 Have you seen Resolute? What did you like and what didn?t you like? 9. What is your favourite non-ARAH figure? So something from the new sculpt era or modern era 10. If you were given the keys to the kingdom, so to speak, what would you want to see done with Classified that doesn?t involve the Dreadnoks. I look forward to your reply and I hope we can generate discussions with you based on your answers. |
