That's my thought too, they're next up so pending we get our next figures in September we could get one more in by year's end

They're still behind, though. If I'm not mistaken, it sounded like the plan was for four mainline waves this year. We're looking at maybe three at best.

That's cool, I like colorful Joes too for some reason, I'm not big into ninjas but I did like the coloring of Sonic Fighters

That's going to push into next year's roster which proves my thinking the reveals kind of fill next year's line-up

I've seen lots of wishlists here, Zandar's on like two of them, only reason he does well is the LNC votes for him...check the link below for usernames, they exclusively voted together on the poll in the link

I believe I voted Zandar a couple times also for the record. I liked that he matched Zarana and Zartan. Definitely don?t think he should have won though. If it came down to him and Eels at the end I?d go with Eels.

What's interesting is they both use harpoon-guns despite no relations other than our polling here

I think that's entirely possible.

And that would mean an even greater possibility that many of those that I mentioned earlier, including some that were in this year's tournament are going to be later 2024.

Isn't that how Dusty went?...got in right on year's end then started new years with Tiger Force

Since we seem to be a wave behind for the year, and that's if there's a third wave released before January, it doesn't seem entirely likely.

I know shipping issues have caused us to only get about 9 figures so far in the first 3 and a half months of 2023, but we've got 4 Retro figures coming and a couple of Target exclusives in the next few months which will bring us up to 15 figures for the 1st half of 2023. However, I expect us to get about 25 figures from Jul-Dec and a really back loaded 2nd half for 2023 -- basically a repeat of what we experienced in 2022.

I know it seems unlikely and is hard to believe we'd get 30-40 figures in 2023, but we only got 6 figures from Jan-Jun of 2022 and then got 22 from July to December. Expect the same to happen for 2023.

I think 2024 is going to be a great year for Classified!

I agree! And I also think most of those you mentioned will be announced for 2024 in the next year.

Yeah, I've always liked Zandar since I had him and Zarana as a kid. I voted for him and am not part of the LNC.

It was 28 figures total for 2022 (only 25 individual releases, but since the Vipers were a 3-pack and the Blue Ninjas were a 2-pack the count gets up to 28).
