I mean, I can't bring myself to feel too terrible about that.

I honestly don't see the size of the Skystriker being a dealbreaker for it, the sail barge was over four feet long. There's no denying the Skystriker will be an amazing central piece for any collection, and it's one of the most iconic, if not the most iconic vehicle in G.I. Joe. And I suspect at least some of the creative work on O ring Skystriker can be reused, so that would mitigate some cost.

The Whale was the very last ARAH-era toy that I kept on display. It just makes an awesome display piece. I have room on my shelf that could fit a Classified Whale. It would be impossible to pass up.

Already got my 2 from BBTS. Though I haven?t checked them out.

I guess i had forgotten ..
was also billed for slaughter last night so maybe sunday delivery for him

The whale will be a display piece diorama all by itself that tray gave a lot more perspective how big of a space i need looks like im going to have to make another photo table/area-just for that if they make it or the skystriker ..

What figures would the Whale include?

Cutter
Another version of Shipwreck
Some version of Wetsuit?

Speaking of Wetsuit where the hell is that guy.

[RedAlert Rescue]

The Sky Striker on a flight stand would at least allow you to put stuff underneath it.

I'd say with a whale : as well as Cutter...

Something from this sort of list.. or maybe there is a comic appearance that can inspire a figure too ?

https://www.3djoes.com/topside.html
May be : https://www.3djoes.com/deep-six-v3.html
or : https://www.3djoes.com/keel-haul-v2.html
Perhaps an unusual Wet suit like : https://www.3djoes.com/wet-suit-v4.html
Maybe this : https://www.3djoes.com/lifeline-v4.html
Or this : https://www.3djoes.com/shipwreck-v2.html

Also as I want a Wetsuit Baroness with a Moray I wouldn't mind a Wetsuit Scarlett with the Whale as a Tier either.

To go really out of left field how about a retro-style Breaker (doesn't have to be carded just look more like the original and have is missing gear back) ?

Cutter, Turtleneck Shipwreck, Topside? Roadblock v4? (he also has a sweater)

I've got to think Wetsuit is going to come with the Devilfish. I'd be surprised if he doesn't.

I hope your right , because our snow/water teams are severely lacking any kind of support ..
That and i would take a handful of wetsuits just for more random divers lounging around ..

I think they could do https://www.yojoe.com/action/01/wetdown.shtml
As part of a later "World of Whale" accessory too. But as he's so "generic" I think he's well suited to being a Walmart exclusive in 2025/26.

Mission Brazil Wetsuit might complement Glenda in a round about way too I guess as another possible exclusive : https://www.yojoe.com/action/86/wetsuit2.shtml

When Lenny and Emily talk about "nothing being off the table" I do wonder about things like this sometimes too for Classified :
