Alpine was the only Joe that made it all the way from my list, and I had Armored CC and Eel, but 6 of my Joes and 4 of my Cobras never made the list at all.

Oh, that doesn't surprise me, with how many characters this franchise has released EVERYONE is going to have favorites that don't make it (I'd have to check my list, but only a handful of mine even made the bracket). Three of the final four being on your list is actually really good!

Eels because I want an undersea Cobra to go with Torpedo, but I like BACC a lot too. Alpine because he was one of my favorites.

Well, it appears to be pretty clear, barring a bloody Sunday for the consistent frotnrunners, that it will come down to EELs vs Alpine...2 of the remaining 3 left to be done (or announced) from 1985's ARAH mainline, if I recall correctly.
That's a bit frustrating, given there isn't a single main line 1988 Joe or Cobra, nor anyone from 1989 outside Alley Viper represented in Classified (again, not counting repaint subteam retreads). Nevertheless, I will be happy to get Alpine and suspect he takes the crown this year. As he has such trememdous Classified potential as both a good character AND figure simultaneously. |

These tournaments are fun, and they are a way to let our voices be heard, but they are in no way indicative of what is to come. Cobra Commander is a much more popular character than the Eels and is a core character (which is why we have seen a few different versions already) 2. I may have missed something, but there are more than 3 missing from 1985. Alpine, Footloose, Airtight, Eels, and Torch. 3. Again, I may have missed something, but I think there are 2 versions of Big Ben coming. His V1, (90? 91?) adds to the ranks of post '89 characters and I would guess they are just getting started. 4. I would guess that at least several, if not most, of the characters who made a showing in this year's tournament are going be coming 2024 or 2025.

Big Ben was '91. The Range Viper is also coming, was '90.
I get the frustration though, if your Joe years were post-87, it's been slim pickings. Arctic Storm Shadow and Alley Viper have really been it, unless you count the TF/PP/Marauder repaints. Just one of the reasons I'm glad Shockwave and Hit & Run made it as far as they did. ARAH lasted another 7 years after '87, it would be nice to get a little more from that era.

Nevertheless, I will be happy to get Alpine and suspect he takes the crown this year. As he has such trememdous Classified potential as both a good character AND figure simultaneously. 1987 now has Croc Master, Outback, Falcon, Tunnel Rat, Chuckles, Steel Brigade and Big Boa for Classified, so I am sure 1988 and later are going to eventually start getting some major love, too. Road Pig is one of Lenny's favorites and he has stated that RP is his biggest want to see made in Classified, so I bet he will be coming in the next year or 2. No one can argue the fact that 1982-1986 were the golden years and by far the most popular era of ARAH, so it just makes sense that those are the years that get more coverage, especially early on in the line. I wish, but he actually hasn't been revealed yet. Hopefully soon!
