Okay we all know that the exclusives so far for the Classified line have been really hit and miss and at times disastrous; aka the initial Target Cobra Island run. Personally, I think the Tiger Force and Python Patrol figures are a great Target exclusive. Cool characters, but in decos not everyone will be clamoring for. But the Convention/Pulse Con exclusives so far have made no sense. Dr. Mindbender and Serpentor are MAIN LINE characters that most people absolutely want in their colllections. And we have NO confirmation either will be in the main line later. So why does Hasbro torture us? Fortunately I managed to slip through the window( all of 12-15 minutes each day ) and get my Dr. Mindbender preordered. Now, I have to grit my teeth and hope I can do the same with Serpentor. So what would actually make for cool yet practical exclusives for conventions? Things that would be great compliments to your collection. But, not make you insane if you are not able to purchase them. Unless you are a die hard completist, and then well you are screwed anyway lol! Some ideas:
1. Crimson Twins Xamot and Tomax/ Baroness in their Crimson( red ) uniforms. Much like the 3 3/4? exclusive set from the past only with these 3 in the set. 2. Sgt. Slaughter in Marauders colors. We are already getting a Marauders Barbecue next year in the main line. So how about the leader of the sub-line as an exclusive? 3. Major Bludd and Copperhead 2-pack in Python Patrol deco. This would actually make sense for a Target exclusive. Or a Pulse Con Exclusive. Give the Python Patrol their 2 leaders. 4. Dr. Venom vs. Kwinn 2-pack. I know this will generate some debate, since a lot of old school collectors would love to have these guys in the main line collection. However, a lot of newer collectors have no clue who these two are. But man wouldn’t they be cool in 6” scale! 5. Hard Master and Soft Master 2-pack. Again a must for die hard fans, but not as much for casual fans. I would give my pinky toe for this set in 6 inch scale lol! 6. General Flagg- The original C.O. Of the team. Would make for a great exclusive. 7. Oktober Guard 6 Pack! Colonel Brekov, Daina, Horrowshow, Schrage, Stormavik, and Dragonsky! Yes this would be ambitious and it would probably have a $150 price tag; but man it would be sooooo worth it. You could then add additional members like Red Star, Big Bear, and Lt. Gorky individually in the main line down the road. 8. Jungle Battle Android Trooper A redeco of the first BAT only in the Pursuit of Cobra Jungle BAT colors. Possibly make it a 2-pack for the army builders who would cry if they only got 1 lol! 9. Python Patrol Croc Master and Fiona. An exclusive in the PP colors. Make Fiona a much darker shade. We saw this in 3 3/4” already. 10. Billy aka Cobra Commander’s son. Eye patch prosthetic leg, etc. Again a character die hard fans would kill for, but casual fans wouldn’t know. Your thoughts ideas?

Some ideas:
Cold Slither Dreadnoks (Zartan, Zarana & Zandar, Buzzer, Ripper, Torch) An exclusive Zarana & Zandar 2 pack release, or at least released separately in the same wave. Zandar in general.

That's a pretty comprehensive list. A couple of other thoughts:
-Sparks or Col Sharpe from the first mini-series -Cobra-La mutated Cobra Commander -Venemous Maximus -Any of the significant international repaints like Cobra de Aco, Quarrel, etc. |

I'd be up for Sonic Fighters with small backpacks with SFX, only reason I didn't like the packs in the 90s was because they were too big for the figures
