TBH there should be a choice from 1964, 1982 and the first year of 25th line before a classified figure.

Or maybe a write-in for a best of Classified. There have been some good figures this year (weird that some of the not-yet-released figures were on the list, too), but I can think of quite a few from 2023, 2022, and even 2021 that mop the fucking floor with them.

I know it's pedantic but it drives me crazy.

On another note, seeing these all together has made me realize how half-assed the retro line has been. The first few waves were so lazy, and the card art is super inconsistent with that Zartan art being downright awful. Looks like a picture of the figure that they ran photoshop filters on.

I open everything, so it is not much of an issue as long as the figure is solid. However if you compare these to the Retro Spiderman line, it doesnt even compare. I die a lil inside when I open those because the packaging is so rad.

This is all just my opinion.

I see it everyday on my shelf. Had no idea this was hard to get. For awhile there it seemed like no one wanted it.

If you don’t vote for the Action Pilot, I will come to your house and kiss you on the lips (you don’t want this)

Really? Sick! Take a photo? Never seen a real one and congrats

Yeah having a vote involving figures that haven't even been released yet doesn't seem right. Maybe wait until the end of the year?

Agreed, 100%. Loving the Classified line, and think there are definitely releases that'd easily qualify for a "Figure of the Year." But snubbing the rich history before it, to put a Classified in a HoF, just feels wrong.

There are only around 20-30 known figures of the original Venezuelan Cobra Mortal floating around in people's various collections.
