Sigh. I know. It's just a matter of time.

And shush your mouth about Short-Fuze. He was my first. I must have him, boring outfit be damned.

Holy cow, Retro Beachhead is just about perfect, isn't he?

Since people are asking/talking about this: gun seems maybe a little flexy but not much; hands are VERY solid and inflexible.

The plain, boring outfits of the ‘82 lineup is a big part of their charm.

Not only is this a true story, but I was just looking over the collection the other night, and I find I admire the OG13 we have in there classic boring gear maybe more than some of the more updated, and I have always been on the "Cool with updated versions" bandwagon. Clutch, Grunt, Stalker and Breaker are good, I do love the updated to R & R. I really want the rest of the OG13 and would like to see them as close to original as possible, like Grunt style.

The comic was a big success and an important part of the brand, but the inability of the comic to be left in the eighties has hurt the brand's growth in my opinion. A large segment of the fandom just wants joe to be the comic and we see that every time new fiction happens.

Toa...I realized I had misread your post and even edited mine BEFORE you posted the above response. So either you saved my post for posterity or you spent an EXORBITANT amount of time crafting a response. As can easily be seen by the fact my post was edited at 12:28 and yours was live at 12:34. One would think upon seeing I had OBVIOUSLY misread (Yeah. That's me admitting a mistake. Try it out sometime) what you posted you would actually edit your own. But nope. This is a prime example of why it's difficult to trust anything you post. You always seem to have an agenda.

Flight suit Baroness, could sell on her own in either the retro or classified line. Raven, is an obscure character, that would be perfect to have as a tier unlock.

I'd be perfectly fine if we get both RAVEN and Baroness as tier unlocks.

How long ago was this focus group conducted?

Based on comments under gi joe classified videos on youtube, it seems that more people actually want RAVEN as a tier over Baroness, but they also want them both.

So what's the probability, that we will see RAVEN as a tier unlock this coming haslab??

The way the Group worked is they presented ideas to gauge fan interest and get feedback. Participants have no idea what the final decisions would be. I was simply sharing my personal feedback on the subject of Raven. So you may get your wish!

Whoever posted that image on Reddit was either in the FG and got screencaps of knew someone that was. Because the image is EXACTLY what the presentation looked like. We had to sign NDA's stating we wouldn't post anything on social media or share imagery from the FG.

Wow... Thanks for the insight and behind the scenes details. Who were the spots for the 4th and 5th tier options?? I see Raven as #3, but then the photo cuts off tier 4 and 5. Was there any positive feedback in the Focus Group regarding the possibility of Raven being a tier?

I was always on board, but now Im just fucking pumped to get this thing.

I know we often discuss our nitpicks and the flaws of this line, but we all have to admit that its a great time to be a Joe fan.

I think it looks great as well.

There were only 3 Tiers. Several in my group liked her inclusion. One said "I would be down but, give her a removable helmet."

It's also worth noting that mine was one of the first groups. We didn't see the "Engine Blast" effect. We saw a "Going Down!" engine on fire effect. So, Raven was obviously carried over into that second group. Honestly? I hope you get her now. Your excitement is infectious. I'm sure if they decide to include her they'll make her look awesome.

But speaking of space...You've never ONCE shown us any collection pics. Why not share those? We'd love to see some shelves man! You probably have a great Classified collection!





They are not dual guns. They are indeed engine blast effects. Two different versions were shown. One was an Exploding Engine the other a Jet Blast. Both had the ability to light up.



I get what they were going for but, mine has a slight miss-hit. So he looks like a googley eyed insane insomniac. Like CI Firefly level insane.



Absolutely. I would love a Resolute Snake Eyes Classified figure. WHile not a popular opinion I'd like some Sigma Six figures. Long Range and LT Stone specifically.

Lt Stone would be a great Classified fig.
