Interesting- will be curious to see if it gets reuse and paint apps on a potential v2 SS then - seems a reasonable conclusion.

I do take it back I have seen the Lady Jaye about year or so. I was thinking more toward the Night Force, Range Viper, etc. not the retro cards.

FYI check yo pre-orders on pulse if you got on any on there, some stuff moved up today. They moved the pre-orders up for the Wolverine vs Sabretooth and Transformers Generations United 5 pack to late May. I don't know what else moved up. This might be a sign some classified stuff will move up soon as well on pulse.

Speaking about the idea of making the Line last past 2026. I would say yes finding some of the background characters to include like say Dr. Biggles Jones for example isn't a bad idea from time to time.
But as much as I like buying the Girls and actively keep begging for the likes of Freestyle... I can see why Hasbro might be hesitant about doing the really obscure females if Helix or Shooter caused them any problems. The ghost of Lady Jaye is also going to ever haunt them. /// But one thing I do feel is kinda important is to keep a constant stream of "Named Cobra characters" as well as the more usual Viper subtypes one would expect... so characters like Darklon, Overlord, Interrogator, Blackstar, Crystal Ball, Overkill as well the occasional character they can rotate into the line from the late-sub sections of the franchise. The reasoning being is that another Storm Shadow doesn't really add anything story wise to the setting of "Gi Joe Classified" we already have him same with Snake Eyes, Stalker or Roadblock.. if you get a new version you realistically have nothing you didn't already have.. now it's OK to make them anyway for those who would say that previous ones are "videogame characters" and not O.G. Gi Joe ones. But I would counted with that adding say Overlord or Darklon or even Interrogator unlocks story potentials and play patterns you'd have to fudge a bit by using Destro or Dr, Mindbender before. I think chasing the perfect version of Duke or Cobra Commander is in someways a lot less preferable than making someone new is... as you already have Duke at home. It becomes an issue of diminishing returns. I see the use to be had in such new versions of already addressed characters to be something you do when the previous ones has sold through, or if the character is for a different environment that might be OK too. But there is that desire to spread things out that can to easily lead to ; to many repaints to quickly. while not adding to the overall setting with new vehicles of character themes as much as they perhaps could or should do. But I tend to expect to disagree with many on this point like my defense of the Coil Cycle is also often met with disagreement. I fully expect if I was to say suggest they did something a bit different and made a Python Patrol Coil Cycle people would meet that idea with Horror ! & consider it the waste of a slot etc.. |
