Hasbro loves repaints and reuse of tooling.
We want characters/looks that are easily available that way — classic Scarlett and an old, grizzled Duke only need new heads, Firefly just needs a new vest, and Viper needs nothing at all, beyond the color swaps each of these would get. Granted, some could use a revised gun, Duke could use a helmet, etc. But basically these are obvious, common sense choices. Personally I think Hasbro will be offering them sooner rather than later….. …….but in case they have no plans, just check out this art from instagrammer “ williamstoneart “ : |

Which why I expect to eventually see a Tripwire in the Classified Series because he's going to get Firefly's vest.

I messaged him about Duke's, Flint, and L.J.'s jump wings. I was explaining to him how felt that since the JOEs are the best of the best Flint, Duke, and L.J. would be master parachutists with combat jumps. I'm curious to see if he's going to upgrade Duke, Flint, and L.J. to master parachutists with combat device on their jump wings.

Happy with the designs of the characters we got. Prefer new characters to re-dos but I assume if the line continues for longer they will get around to doing other versions of these characters eventually.

Same. I could definitely go another year or two before getting alternate versions of those wave 1 characters. I am more excited about increasing my JOE roster.

If they made that, it would instantly be my top Classified figure, even above the Trooper and Baroness.

Yeah, Hasbro needs to put dude on the payroll. Will's renditions of Scarlett, the Baroness, and C.G. need to be made into figures. I messaged him about Duke's, Flint, and L.J.'s jump wings. I was explaining to him how felt that since the JOEs are the best of the best that Flint, Duke, and L.J. would be master parachutists with combat jumps. I'm curious to see if he's going to upgrade Duke, Flint, and L.J. to master parachutists with combat jumps. As far as WS, yeah, he keeps knocking it out of the park. Especially with the heads imo, but really everything. Very tasteful, hope he keeps it up for a long time and is studied or even hired by Hasbro. Wonder what he’ll do next, maybe fill out the OG13 while mixing in other 83-84 characters like Doc and Tripwire? |

For me this is a top three or four want, with a classic Stalker, Crimson Guard, and ‘86 style General Hawk. I look forward to new takes on some other characters like Gung Ho, CC, and even Duke (grizzled vet Duke with removable helmet, rather than the young hotshot Duke we have), but Scarlett is really the one that feels urgent to me. I actually kinda agree w/ ActionDan and wmichben on most of these possible character revisits, for now, though I certainly wouldn’t be sorry to see them or think it’s too soon. But I want this Scarlett. |

I definitely want a V1 Firefly without fatsuit and with normal face. They should make the vest overlays easily removable without permanently damaging or cutting.
I think the newest reveals had normal shoe lace boots. If so, all the earlier figures should be re-released with those normal boots instead of shinguards. Gung Ho especially looks weird with those wacky shinguards. |

I think there's no way we don't get updated/classic designs of a lot of these. Look at how they handle TF/ML/SW/MMPR... Classified is up & running. We've already got multiple roadblocks, storm shadow, snake eyes. It's a safe bet that we'll get some pretty classic designs at some point, as long as the line keeps running like it is.
