Yes, but they're similar to the Crimson Shadow Guard from the Valor Vs. Venom line.

Most disappointed in Raptor as he was a childhood favorite. Instead it looks like Reiko from Mortal Kombat fused with MCU Vulture.

I wasn?t a fan of Raptor then and I am not now. I do like a lot of the stuff shown.

I hope the sb commander isnt exclusive. I really want him.

Wasn't the "tease" in the Cobra Claw pic just a tongue in cheek reference to the little image of the Rattler in the corner? A meaningless tease given the Rattler launched on the same day as the Claw so they were joking about it on the stream. That's how I interpreted it.

No, there is a guy jumping on top of a cobra claw and it looks like snake eyes. This is in the picture with the package art for the CLAW where there is the main one zoomed in and behind it is a fleet of them.
Then they zoomed in on some wall art that has drawings of a lot of joe figures and between retro scarlet and retro duke is a v2 snake eyes we havent seen yet.

Rattler is over 7500 funded so far. It will be funded in a few days at this rate.

Hell a few hours haha.

Some rare missteps from Classified, eh?

[brditsme]

Yesterday was a lot!

Looking forward to preorders this evening. A few thoughts before getting back to the real world today:

Rattler went up more than 50 backers in the time it took to write this, from 7449 to 7500. I just think it's a beautiful, beautiful toy, and agree with someone on here who said it's worth the price point on the base vehicle and figure alone. Just amazing. I could not be happier with what this toy line has done for my love of these characters... it's just so great and it keeps outshining the earlier years. Rattler was my favorite vehicle and one of my favorite Cobra characters, so it's a no brainer...

... But I will say it's so, so, so, so big. I literally don't have a place to display it, and although I know I will buy it (I mean... c'mon), I'm really not sure when and where I'll actually get to look at it, you know? My only other thought is that Cobra Gunner is an easy repaint of Ace and, I just wonder how far we're going to go in this line. I mean... I'm delighted, but I can't see them NOT continuing to one-up themselves until they find the point where we just won't bite (or can't), and looking at how magnificent this is I don't think we're there yet. And that means... what? Skystriker? Moray? Freaking WHALE?

I need to win the lottery or something. Not for the toys, for a bigger house to put them in.

As for everything else, pretty much anything from the ARAH line that revealed or name-dropped last night was a winner for me. I love that Road Pig... I know Lenny probably went all in on this because of his crush on the character, and it shows. I like that we're seeing new things and a continued sweet spot between adhering to the ARAH designs but still innovating. Retros like R&R and Mindbender where I'm perfectly happy with the mainline release... I'll have to see what they do, but I can see myself biting on R&R especially as he's one of my favorite OGs. I cannot wait for that CLAW, I just love it.

Heavy Duty gives me a little pause. This is probably the first character we've seen in Classified that hits none of my buttons. Unlike '86 through '88, where I had stopped collecting but still *wanted* to, and later on really wished I had those figures, HD is a figure I not only didn't own but didn't really want to. So I'm interested in my own collecting obsession to find out how I respond to the render. If they can pull me in on a character I always felt iffy about (and maybe like he was a bit of a rehash of Roadblock), then I should probably just throw in the towel and just send this team my checking account number.

Mystery Feets! I take back what I said last night about thinking it's Max. I think Bobcats keep their claws on the inside of their toesies, like regular cats. The way the claws are on the outside like that make it look to me like a Grizzly but the feet seem too close together, so I'm mystified. Someone smart said maybe it's the Polar Bear that accosts Snake Eyes in the woods in the MASS Device miniseries, so that would be interesting. Not sure which figure would have a Grizzly companion unless it's Kwinn and even then... idk. Could they be putting out Adventure Team sets? GI Joe on Grizzly Point etc.? Interesting.

Anyway. Really liked the reveals yesterday and especially after some worry about feeling "meh" about things in the morning/early afternoon. Hope you are all as excited as I am about 2025.

I was happy with all of the renders/reveals from yesterday it could have been handled better and more professionally but every fig/vehicle we saw is an instant pick up , this line is on fire ..
