Shoutout to all the moms making it happen!

Beachhead looks great, will be picking that up. anybody looking for a CI beachhead can hit me up once i have the retro in hand.

if i missed the original eel offering, i'd be happy with the retro one.

retro snow serpent does not look as good as the first one, in my opinion. the dark blue and the wolf cape have grown on me/look menacing.


unrelated, but i hit ship on my pile of loot (duke/recondo) last Monday, showing scanned in IL this morning, expected April 6?

almost 2 full weeks? dhl better pick up the pace.

Raptor's the upcoming SDCC exclusive, Stardust is the PulseCon exclusive.

Quick Kick landed.

No overtime, even on Christmas. How is this even legal. Sad.

Edit: side note, likely best packaged figure I have received from Pulse. Proper box size with figure completely wrapped in that brown cardboard x mesh like stuff.

Kudos Pulse team especially on an excellent looking figure!

Anyone who thinks Cobra La won't sell is delusional. It absolutely will. Their wackiness makes for great action figures at this scale.

[WinterCollector]

Are the Snow Serpent and Retro Beach Head going up for preorder, soon? Did they give a date?

[Spider5800]

Once a Man Cobra Commander may be the most disappointing announcement this line has ever made. Just...bleh. It's like they're intentionally highlighting the worst period in this franchise.

Let's face it - the only Cobra Commanders likely coming afterwards are Battle Armor and probably V4 and I'd wager Old Snake.

God I hope not. Honestly, I'd rather get alt universe versions of CC like Resolute or Renegades than V4 CC.

Really, I just wish they'd end the moratorium on the hooded versions. Whatever their reasoning is, it's dumb, and it's keeping CC's best looks (V2, V6) out of Classified.

Ugh. Soooo dumb. I can tell you that Cobra La and Once a Man will be the lowest sellers Classified has seen. Not interested in the least.

I don't know that it will be their WORST seller (the Cobra Island version of Roadblock is still available on Target's website, haha), but I think it will not do well. It's one of those things that only works with Cobra-La figures, and I suspect those will already be poor sellers. At BEST, Cobra-La is divisive among the fanbase.
