I wouldn't mind another go at a Breaker the one with the bike is a bit bare bones.. if they could have another go with different parts like they did with Duke or Shockwave I think that would be a good idea.

I wouldn't even mind if it was randomly in Night Force or Tiger Force but the Carded line seems like a sensible place to put such a thing and to be honest they is more missing with Breaker than there is with Beachhead.. who I didn't really have any serious complaints with the figure itself (thought I get why some don't like the weapons) the carded 6" one isn't hugely improving that area of the figure really.

I think Rock & Roll has some potential to be remade on a card too.

I might be repeating myself but I'd love to see a Breaker with ARAH accessories but in cartoon gray.

Agree with the idea of Rock&Roll but I really like the mainline. Not sure in that case if I would be on the hook for his retro look. I feel this way with Stalker: so far I've resisted him but... who knows.

I remember her distinctly saying something like that. Leaves it open to them kind of doing whatever if that's the case.

That makes the most sense. Anything other than that would constrain the Joe team in what they could make if they defined it specifically as replicating any previous character designs. Hence why we get a retro Cobra Trooper which isn?t very retro at all.

Would anyone else like to see Classified expand into to other eras and versions G. I .-Joe?
Personally, I loved Resolute and would buy Classified figures of those versions. Renegades versions would also be welcome.

For Rock & Roll it would depend for me. If they did a retro release but stripped away everything that makes him cool currently I would pass.

For instance, I would prefer the all green shirt over the tan and green shirt of the standard release, but I would not want him to lose the tattoos, markings on his helmet, etc as they make him more unique than his boring OG13 design.

I bit on retro Stalker for 2 reasons...

1.) his standard release is great, but the colors are super muted and I enjoy the pop of color the retro release brings and the more consistent camo pattern.
2.) standard release Stalker can easily move to a Night Force display so I don't feel like he was a wasted purchase. Win / Win.

Yes, there are several characters from Valor vs. Venom and spytroops, 2004 was a pretty good year for new characters.

Definitely the coloring is the thing that's making me waver. So far I've resisted Night Force but...

I never cared for Rock N Roll until I encountered the Sideshow release that started on the track that resulted in the Classified design. The tats, the gear customization, etc. The best figures in GI Joe canon express unique personalities through their design choices.
