I understand that there are a lot of fans of that show, and I do not mind having a female Strato-Viper. Part of me is a little upset that they would mine that cartoon for inspiration before giving us Scarface, Kwinn, Dr. Venom, etc.

Again, to reiterate, I do not begrudge anyone getting all of the figures he or she wants. It just seems (to me) like that cartoon is an albatross that weighs this franchise down and does not allow it to transcend the past.

I am sorry if this offends anyone. One last time, I certainly do not want to see anyone not get what they want. I am excited for those who are excited. It just disappoints me personally.

I feel like for those Marvel ones, they'd have to be more mainline, so I'm personally okay with locking some way more obscure cartoon examples in the Haslab. I understand the feeling though. However I think characters like Dr. Venom are way too big to not do. If Scarface isn't here in the Haslab, my guess is he'd be best fit in a 2 pack with Dr. Venom. Kwinn would make a nice deluxe.

Not sure either is happening before the other. We have gotten Kamakura, Shooter, and Agent Helix. Never heard of those characters before I got back into the brand as an adult, but it was my understanding all 3 are comic characters that were never in the cartoons.

No offense taken. They've had a female figure in every GI Joe Haslab so far, so the choices for pilots would likely be Raven or the Baroness, who looks the same as always but with a new helmet. So I'd be happy with Raven... as long as I can get a male Strato Viper eventually. He has the absolute best sculpt of any o-ring figure. In my group they showed a Pilot Cobra Commander instead, and I was quick to tell them that he wouldn't go over well.

I am cool with new characters. Love all 3 of these but I want a different colored helix too

I wonder when we'll see a render Zandar. Worries me that this is the only one we're getting. So, no Retro Zandar, no Cold Slither Zandar, and no Zarana & Zandar Color-change 2 pack, or just a Zarana & Zandar 2 pack without the color change.

WoW! Hope this is true and we get a classified RAVEN figure for the cobra team. I see that Super 7 took a shot at making her figure. I'd like too see what classified can do with her.

Looks like Amazon's fudging their "% Claimed" prime day numbers. Bought Scrap Iron when 58% claimed. Now it's 21%.

Stop playing games, Jeff.
