Hopefully it includes shin guards.

I just think Hasbro are so ungenerous with their pricing they'd want to charge as much for a simple shooting range or a small tent & Mortar set as they would for a Ferret.

Where as what would be more reasonable would be if they could do a variety of such things at the $30 or $45 price points. Or even better sell them with no figure as the same price as a Figure.

40ish I think would work, and there's not an infinite number of Joes/Cobras that thematically pair with an animal, so it would be a solid way to keep that slot/price point in play.

Finally received Tiger Paw from Target. Now I am an opener so as long as the toys inside are good I am OK. However at the same time I think stores and sites could do better packing. The shipper box is smashed in one side which smashed the classified Tiger Paw box pretty good. Ugh!

On a similar note, received in a box from Amazon is a mangled and half torn off the card Super Powers Metamorpho. The outside shipper box was perfect so the figure was put in mangled and half ripped off the card. What is happening? The last day six shipments I have received have been mangled.

Robots.

Some people are waiting for the war with the machines, but others know it has already begun.

Night Creeper looks great.

His Abs, Neck and
balancing can be meh.


Other than that, it's what you expect
it's pretty good.

Lol I totally can see why you may be jaded! But the Classified team are so genuine, you can tell they love the brand and are passionate about it just as much as us fans on here are. Lenny's excitement and enthusiasm feel 100% sincere and legit. The guy loves working on this line and it shows. Same goes for Tony, you can tell he's having the time of his life working on Classified.

Totally! They should do a funny homage and shrink Lenny down and have him interacting with the Rattler like the kids did in the '85-'86 ads.

If youre wondering just how big a classiffied whale will/would be and what it would look like size wise next to something you already own here you go
The tray is 28? long by 18? wide so if you go by dartbretts measurements which IMO are sound and reasonable you get this its 2? shorter & wider than what he thought the whale would be in classified form .

It's definitely big, but doable since it's not horribly wide.

Cutter and maybe Navy SEAL '94 Shipwreck or Shipwreck in turtleneck sweater and cap, NF version of Wet-Suit and maybe either a generic Joe Diver or Cutter in his v2 duds from '93?

Feel like v1 Wet-Suit and Topside are not likely to be locked into a HasLab.

Terror Tuesday. That made me laugh and cry at the same time.

I like the Night-Creeper a lot, but he does take a little balancing to pose. I think they did a good job of giving him his trademark backpack and swords too. The alternate v2 head is a nice little easter egg too.

Like, I THINK I want this, but hard to say until I see it in scale with everyday objects, like furniture, ha.

I agree, it would be able to sit on a modest sized shelf or bookcase and will be a nice centerpiece to boot.

The thing that makes a Classified WHALE so exciting to me is it had so many play features, like missiles, depth charges, an opening door and ramp that folds out for Joes to run out of it on, a little recon sled AND motorbike! Plus the spinning turbine fans feature in the back and the biggest thing: it could actually float on water!

Night Creeper is a good figure. I have no issues with the neck or abb crunch/ swivel. Both of mine have issues with the ankles and hips being loose so they can be kind of hard to pose. Also the swords on mine tend to fall out of the backpack if you slightly touch them. But it's a really great looking figure. I just have more attachment to the Ninja Force version and I really want it now.
