Anybody else think it's curious that Baroness's Coil Cycle is the ONLY THING out of the whole Classified Line that has never been re-issued in any way? If you really look at it - it's a cool design. Neat detailing and sculpting. It could look awesome in different colors.
Is it just because it wasn't RAH-inspired? Seems like a waste to not try again... especially considering that Baroness / Coil was super hard to find and is still one of the rarest pieces. I say kitbash up a Ninja Force Storm Shadow - and release it with this motorcycle repainted in whites and greys. |

There are many figures I would not get the retro if it?s close or the mainline is retro Looking enough. For example the mainline Destro and Lady Jaye were so close I didn?t feel the need for the retro version. On the other hand I got retro Gung-ho, Duke, and Scarlett.
For me the Alpha Commando Snake-Eyes and Mainline V2 are close enough that I won?t feel the need to get the retro versions. The mainline Major Bludd is so awesome that I would not get the retro (I can see why many would). It?s doesn?t bother me if Hasbro makes all these characters as retro I don?t feel like it takes a spot. I mostly see retro as part of the coarse correct of many of the first Classified figures who got modern updates. Although I might be in the minority but I really like the update to Gung-Ho as well as the retro one. I still want retro Cobra Infantry trooper. I think it would be nice if the did retro Serpentor and Dr Mindbinder for those that could not get or afford or have space for those two. Last edited by Samuntrus; Today at 09:51 PM.. |

I originally didn?t want Tiger Force characters. I got a serval of them on sale. Now I?m collecting Tiger Force. This slippery slope has gotten me into a problem. I didn?t not want the Mad Marauders and now I find myself tempted to get them. I still think they have ugly uniforms. I didn?t want Cobra La stuff but that Nemesis Immortal head sculpt looked really cool. Now that is tempting. I think the Cobra La stuff looks awesome I just don?t like it as an origin for Cobra.
As we wait for YoJoe June I feel like I?m being sucked into getting everything. I don?t have space for everything I told myself no TF as well ,i think they are ugly and i still bought them all the first time i saw them in store . Mad marauders the same thing ? i want them all now .. PP some are great some of them have weird colors/designs and some are great looking figures i plan on picking up everyone of those released as well . Im hooked NIGHT FORCE i want them all NINJA FORCE im all in on those as well . I plan on continuing picking up every release even if its weird i know if i dont then sometime down the road ill probably have regret about not picking whatever and have to pay more for it on the secondary .. Like i said im hooked

The COIL cycle was sold plentiful when BBTS got their shipment of CI figures in, even some sellers through Prime were offering it for MSRP prices. That's how I got mine having not gotten into the line until Dec 2021.

I mean yeah it's inevitable because its the most popular look for the character, but I never really got a sense that there was a pressing need in the fandom for one like Scarlett or Duke.
V2 Snake Eyes is kind of in the Destro zone where the first figure is close enough and the Retro for that kinda sat around. Quote:

Back in 85 i was stayjng @ my grandmas for a week up in good old bucyrus ohio while my parents were out of town sister stayed somewhere else for the week . So it was me and gma she took me to a woolworths in galion ohio one evening and told me i could get whatever i wanted , the only joe stuff they had on the shelf were ver2 SE & BUZZER thats it so thats what she bought me ,i didn't have em yet either so it made my day . Same grandma bought me the whale the flagg the terrordrome & G1 jetfire all on different bdays xmas etc she did get me jetfire for easter one year .. she was loaded and loved to spend money i was also the only boy grandchild on that side and i look just like my dad & my grandfather.
It is weird to think about that kind of stuff now how utterly spoiled i was especially by her in general a lot more than the other 5 grandkids she had . She lived to be 94 she died a day after her bday 10 years ago what a great woman/person/human she was ,every time i look @ my 85 SE it brings back a good memory . Its the only original joe i still have after i purged my childhood collection. Quote:

I've always had a fondness for the various sub-sets in the vintage 3-3/4" line, particularly Tiger Force, but I don't think I can afford to collect any in this scale and have not purchased any of the team repaints to date. I'm planning to sell off my Night Force Ripcord and Crazy Legs when my Dragonfly comes in.
