It's Sunbow's own fault, really... they started the film off with such a fantastic opening title and then the Pythona infiltration. Everything after that felt pretty anti-climatic.

I think the OAMCC demand is an inadvertent fluke caused by Hasbro's poor marketing. The lack of communication, buggy website, limit of 5, in-and-out of stock, release time errors all contributed to it being 'in demand'. If things went smoothly I don't think people would be considering it a huge hit. I think tons of collectors were buying it just because they saw an opportunity to capitalize on it. Simply supply and demand. Or at least 'perceived' supply and 'perceived' demand.

It was a happy accident for Hasbro.

I've never liked the movie - or the cartoon. Comic Book is canon to me.

Still, I have no problem with so much cartoon influence in Classified. If it makes the line healthy - so be it. I do hope they eventually get to some comic-inspired characters and stuff. I'd be all in.

I?m not a comic book guy but I made a custom Dr Venom. Depending upon what they looked like I could be in on some of the comic characters..ie Kwinn.

Yup, there is also an episode where the Joes encounter some of the Egyptian gods and Ace and a few other parachute from outer space.

I actually like the spirit episode, especially the Wild Bill scenes.

For me it?s not the sci-fi but the movie gave Cobra a back story that I personally don?t like. I barely read the comics if I had to choose I would prefer that one for the origin of Cobra but I?m not 100% sold on it either. To me it?s not right or wrong just preference.

People including myself are inconsistent in what they like or how far are they willing to like something. I might like a ghost story in GI Joe but Skystrikers in outer space it really pushing it.

Some new internal factory photos of mixed parts. Some suspicion is the tan legs and harness are for Footloose, but I'm more interested in the female pale white hands with lavender pins on the sprue. Tell me those aren't Pythona's?

I don't personally. I was trying to put the box back in and it wouldn't go. Then saw the plastic sleeve still wedged inside. The stock images don't show it so I was like what's this..

One more thing why I didn’t like Cobra La in the movie I really caught on to this as an adult. It doesn’t feel like a continuation of the 2nd Season. In the 2nd season Cobra Command has turned on Cobra Commander. By the end of the 2nd season most of them don’t want Serpentor in charge anymore. Some like Firefly and Storm Shadow want Cobra Commander back in charge. The movie starts off with everyone hating Cobra Commander. They are all in for Serpentor. It seems like when they write the movie they didn’t have season 2 fleshed out.

The clear blue parts are interesting as well. Those are either slippers or men?s dress shoes. The other part looks like a large cloak hood that?s folded back.

Is that a maggot or a piece of rice next to that harness?

Based on he size of the legs above the shoes - I'd guess they are Jinx slipper feet. They look too small to be men's shoes.

What is the decorative thing in the top left corner? Some part of Budo?
