Excel does he math

Categories are: Sculpt, Articulation, Coloration, Likeness (to ARAH), Innovation, QC (minus reuse, repaint, gummy, manufacturing, or poor design)

I round to the nearest integer when voting…so, it’s possible to get a 10 but none has. I think this is fair as I don’t think there are many perfect scores in real life. That is except Marisa Tomei and Jennifer Connelly

I received my Mad Marauders Sgt Slaughter from Amazon today. I remember someone in the G.I. Joe Classified Series Official Thread 2024 thread saying we should track whether he comes with his hat on or off. Mine came with his hat on.

Thats actually what i was thinking and hoping for ,but i was thinking the rams heavy gun instead of an M60 but that would work as well .. im down for a vested version ,hell they could make 5 more different versions of slaughter and i would buy them . Im really wanting them to make more actual joe pilots or pilots in general , if we arent going to get a lot of large planes or other helicopters ?mamba/tomahawk? NR/SS i would love to have a pilots display , along with a bunch of different divers , i really enjoy the 60th diver but i feel/know there are alternate colors/gear etc that they have used over the years even going back to the big brass diving helmet versions from less than 100 years ago .. or with the pilot if we ever get an actual version ,they could do 100 plus years of aviation and go into characters like the red baron and others from different countries and eras . Or even MP?s from around the world or special forces from around the world , if gijoe is an international team then we need to see more international characters represented in other forms .

Ive had a crush on jennifer connelly since labyrinth , i believe shes a year or 2 older than me ..

I feel like Mad Marauders Sgt Slaughter's sunglasses are a different sculpt and made of a softer plastic than Sgt. Slaughter (#53). I am having a little more trouble keeping them in place on his face. I like the figure and his accessories.

I just opened mine (hat on, Amazon!) and gave him a 9, only because of the mini fig. They made it's card bigger so it's both out of scale with Sarge and the kickstand at the bottom of the bubble no longer allows the card to stand on its own like the previous release. Other than that this is an all around improvement over the first Sarge and I hope they give us the duffel bag with all figures from now on.

For better or worse it's a faithful adaptation of Marauders Slaughter. Personally, I think it suffers because of this. The other Marauders releases have made some changes to better adapt some aspects of the marauders paint jobs, but this one directs the pants too accurately. The dark green "Trunks" section just looks ridiculous at the 6 inch scale and in a line as detailed as classified. A fun way of adapting the pants would have been to do the camo pattern from the first release with the marauders colors.

Like alot of the deluxe releases, it's hard to justify their prices. This feels like a $30-$32 release, not a $35 release.

I gave the OG a 10, but I'm giving this one a 7. Minus the obligatory point for the repaint/reuse of accessories. Also, took off a point because they couldn't be arsed to give us a saluting hand that was sculpted the same as the other hands. It has a shorter peg and doesn't really snap into place as well. Lastly, some others have mentioned the glasses are different on this version and I noticed that, as well. They don't stay on as nicely as the OG, so I took a point for that.
