Sonic Fighter Zap should heavily influence whatever Classified does with him. It was always my default Zap. Great figure.

I'm curious how they will approach Col. Hawk. If they want be consistent, it should be use the General head but retooled with the flattop and a little bit younger, and of course blonde.

Because Col. Hawk doesn't make a lick of sense to be in the narattive of the Classified Brand a sensible choice might be to sell him as a Retro Branded product instead (be that a Carded or Boxed one) I think we will see Retro 6" scale Boxed products soon enough.
It makes a lot of sense to do that as it allows them a lot of excuses and duplication that they'd otherwise struggle to not have look darn weird. They could even swap Hawk out for a Rock & Roll (with covered arms) and a helmet or alt head. even if I think Rock and Roll on a Retro Card would make more sense. |

I know this doesn't sound very Hasbro, but is it possible that the TVC HasLab seems like such a sure shot to them that they got concerned it could affect the success of the Joe HasLab?
As in, "Every toy collector is going to HAVE to own this TVC _____________. We need to make sure we get the Joe customers on the hook for their HasLab first because a lot of them are going to want this too, and we don't want them skipping the still awesome but not as must-have Classified ________________ because they backed the TVC one already." I think there are more GI Joe fans who love Star Wars then Star Wars fans who love GI Joe, if that makes sense. I know Hasbro doesn't usually seem to think about these things, but it seems like a possibility. Pure speculation, of course. |

And there are way more joe fans that love star wars than vice-versa. I wouldnt put the 2 of them together for discussion in the same sentence though because the scales arent the same so one shouldnt affect the other ..

I think Classified has done a good job of translating the basic OG13 with modern aesthetics. Breaker, Grunt, Stalker, and Rock 'N Roll all maintain the spirit of the original release while still being unique and having as much character as the later, more colorful designs. I'm fairly confident Classified can do the same with Flash, Grand Slam, Zap, Short Fuse, Steeler, and v1 Hawk when they take the plunge. I am not super interested in buying Retro revisions of the OG13. While a set of the non-vehicle 9 on cardback could be a cool display, I think as individual figures they might not be as appealing due to the lack of visual diversity. Of course, since I've so far proven unable to resist anything from the '82 to '87 range, I'd be buying whatever they put out. My words are less meaningful than my wallet-- Hasbro has me on the hook. |
