The Impel cards are still great to see after all these years. I'm glad I've kept my set.
Crystal Ball needed a shake-up, to be sure, away from the Doc Strange/Kraven and lunatic Walmart Rasputin, away from Cobra-la, but hopefully he isn't too much like Scarecrow either. He's probably a figure that will benefit from having no file card.

Crystal Balls... is that a related condition to a Glass Cannon ?

When I went looking for this yesterday before it was posted, I read his file card, which specifically talks about his parents and where they hail from. I think this just provides a different take on the character that people can adopt, much in the same way that Cobra Commander has been depicted as a denizen of Cobra-La or a former Vietnam officer or a brilliant but fed-up used car salesman.

It's funny. I sometimes forget that Cobra-La is just the name of an ancient civilization and not a place like Shangri-La where semi-immortals also live in a hidden Himalayan valley. Or is it?

At this point I am starting to think they could turn just about any ARAH figure into a kick-ass Classified figure (okay, maybe not Robo-Joe!
![]() I never cared for the Star Brigade alien stuff towards the end in '93 and '94. But I have changed my tune and think those would make fantastic Classified figures. Lenny would have a field day working on space alien figures for Classified! The details the team could put into the aliens or into the Star Brigade gear and outfits and weapons would probably be fantastic. I think Its great what the guys keep cooking up. a part of me worries about things like the Night Creeper Leader. I hated his color scheme when I was young, but I may end up loving it now! I'd even go for a release of "The VVviper" in toy form. give him a mop bucket and a telephone witha shadowy corner to make the call from. Dlx for $35.00 I would legit buy that now but hated that bit when I was young. |

Heheheh. I’d be ALL OVER a Classified Robo-J.O.E. I can only imagine it would be a ridiculously kick-ass toy. The weird late-stage ARAH stuff is exactly the stuff that has never really gotten a chance to shine. Like we get v2 Snake-Eyes of some sort every time Joe gets rebooted, but Ninja Force Snake-Eyes? Ahhh, THAT would be something that has never been done right yet at all. I was still “in” at the end of ARAH and a lot of those designs were amazing, just hampered by gun-trees and spring-launch missiles and general 90s foolery. That is the stuff I *really* want to see updated this time around.
