G.I. Joe Classified Series Official Thread 2024!

Forgive the non-Joe question, but is the Walmart Venom just a re-release? I caught myself admiring it and ran upstairs to verify that I have a perfectly acceptable Venom in my bin. It looks like the same one with maybe a little different paint app on the tongue of the alternate head.

Nope, it isn't a re-release. And if you need a McFarlane Venom, that's THE one to get!

It?s a good deal if it ships though

Damn you're right. Looks sketchy as shit. The business info is all over the place. I will cancel it just in case.

I highly doubt any of these will sell out any time soon.

They seem to do this every Collector Con. All I really wanted was The Ultimate Warrior, and of course that's the one that was sold out. Now that they put the time back up, I assume it means I'll still have a shot come 10 EST, but now I'm concerned that since I didn't get an early order in, if I can manage it at 10, it'll get cancelled and I'll have to eventually resort to ebay.

What gets me is that this has happened every time - you'd think by now they'd have fixed the issue ahead of time.

It's mostly the same, I think the articulation has been updated, he has the ab crunch and swivel at the top as well, and he might be pinless.

EDIT: NOT Pinless

Looks like the Rattler lost some weight (the back end and engines especially)
