The uniformity was part of the charm of the OG13 as they looked like a glowed up version of the little green army men we had before. There is also a certain retro charm in the way Hasbro took a limited palate of parts and put them together in different combinations with different paint apps to produce all those distinct figures.
I think Classified has done a good job of translating the basic OG13 with modern aesthetics. Breaker, Grunt, Stalker, and Rock 'N Roll all maintain the spirit of the original release while still being unique and having as much character as the later, more colorful designs. I'm fairly confident Classified can do the same with Flash, Grand Slam, Zap, Short Fuse, Steeler, and v1 Hawk when they take the plunge. I am not super interested in buying Retro revisions of the OG13. While a set of the non-vehicle 9 on cardback could be a cool display, I think as individual figures they might not be as appealing due to the lack of visual diversity. Of course, since I've so far proven unable to resist anything from the '82 to '87 range, I'd be buying whatever they put out. My words are less meaningful than my wallet-- Hasbro has me on the hook. They need two lines - one retro and one free range designs giving their designers more creative freedom to bring some new concepts to surface via classfied . As great as the figures look, I?m not interested in a lot of them. I?m a cherry picker.

May I ask a genuine question? Is this the final hooded sculpt you're going with? There are several hooded CC sculpts in the 3d printing community now. This one with the excessive billowing folds is considered the worst one, due to the way the folds rest on the figures shoulders, forcing an exaggerated 'giraffe' neck look.
DonmanArtCollectibles has one on Cults3D that's quite good, however it's missing the molded in Cobra insignia on the forehead. Though that is easily remedied with a waterslide, or hell, you possess the skills. You could probably freehand the Cobra insignia on. Either way, great start! Looking forward to the finished work. @captclassified- to answer your question: mine doesn?t have a giraffe neck as I specifically dremeled to fit it correctly. The others I?ve seen simply jut put this cast on a peg neck giving it the giraffe look. Customizing takes more than head swaps . And I like the look of this cast the best as it is detailed and fits my style of painting using shadows and light. Challenge for you captclassfied, bet you can’t find a better classfied hooded cobra commander custom out in the wild. Not even Mr stock wash himself is at this level. And the cherry? I’m not even done yet.
