2020 is almost over (Thank God!!!), and it's time to give some love to your GI Joe figure of the year. There is a change in format this year as we now have 6" Joes. Therefore, we can list 2 categories, 6" and 4".
Please list your top 3 6" Classified figures, and list your top single 4" Retro figure. For Classified we got 17 6" figures: 00: Toyfair Snake Eyes 01: Roadblock 02: Retail Snake Eyes 03: Destro 04: Duke 05: Scarlett 06: Retail Cobra Commander 06: Regal Cobra Commander 07: Gung Ho 08: Red Ninja 09: Snake Supreme Cobra Commander 10: Cobra Island Beachhead 11: Cobra Island Roadblock 12: Cobra Island Cobra Trooper 13: Cobra Island Baroness 14: Arctic Mission Storm Shadow 15: Profit Director Destro For GI Joe Retro we got 8 4" figures: Snake Eyes Storm Shadow Baroness Hiss Driver Crankcase Destro Roadblock Scarlett So tell us who is your figure of the year. Remember: Please list your top 3 6" Classified figures, and list your top single 4" Retro Figure. Please note, I'm leaving out the W2 Cobra Island figures as they are not street dated until 1/1/2021. I know some people have these in hand, but I will reserve them for next year.

I've decided to not collect the 6" line, but I still appreciate these Classified figures a great deal. I actually got a few of the figures, but decided to sell them off as I changed my mind on collecting a new scale. None-the-less, my top 3 are as follows:
1. Destro 2. Cobra Trooper 3. Baroness The retail Destro was hands down the best figure of this line. It was updated, but still looked like his ARAH V1 version. The Cobra Trooper was a strong figure that was a great take on the V1 Blueshirts. Baroness's head sculpt puts her at number 3. Just awesome. The retail SE was a close number 3, but he didn't come with his classic weapons. My GI Joe Retro figure of the year is: Scarlett To date, this is the best head sculpt we have gotten for a modern era Scarlett. We also got those awesome Helix legs that have better proportions than the Resolute Scarlett legs. Too bad they couldn't have given us the Resolute Scarlett torso arms and hands. I was able to make an Ultimate 50th Scarlett using Retro Scarlett parts so that is why she's number one. I guess SE was a distant second as those parts are just awesome for customs. RB could have been the best if they gave us fully articulated legs, and the TF RB head.

There's only one decent figure that Hasbro put out this year.
Retro Scarlett.

For 6” Baroness and Duke for their Headsculpts (I’m a sucker for headsculpts) followed by the Cobra Island Cobra Trooper, because he rocks!
3.75” O-mouth Duke. Just kidding it’s Scarlett of course!

For Classified:
1) Baroness - IMO best modern update to the classic design in the Classified line, with a fantastic head sculpt; I thought that I would hate the motorcycle, but it is surprisingly fun, too. 2) Destro - another excellent modern update to the classic design; nice accessories 3) Snake Eyes (exclusive) - again, excellent modern update (seeing a theme here) with a nice paint scheme; lots of great accessories; real-world weapons. Retro: This one is difficult for me, as there is so much controversy around the line and I only have a few of the wave 1 pieces. Thinking about just the figures and nothing else, the best ones are Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. They're some of the best 4" versions of those two characters ever made. However, we've seen both of them multiple times already and neither matches the card art they came on. This whole Retro line has just been such a disappointment and much of that has nothing to do with the actual toys. |
