They would, (especially SGT. SAVAGE.) That's the beauty of adding the characters from the failed lines to Classified since Lenny isn't restrained by nostalgia he could really get creative with figure designs. As I've been saying I'm really curious to see what the final product of the SGT. SAVAGE, EXTREME, and S-6 figures would look like in the Classified Series.

It's my conjecture that the JOE might be a little "gun shy," on adding more Palitoy A.F. to the line, but I agree I would be down to see two figures a year from the original A.F. line added to Classified.

I really want to see what Lenny would do with S-6 LT. STONE.

Since monsters are in Lenny's wheelhouse these would be good choices for the line. Unfortunately, I think you and I are in an extreme minority on wanting to see these figures added to the Classified Series.

Do you have links to these? Massive Black BARONESS and THE BARONESS in her H.I.S.S. Tank uniform needs to be added to the line.

Besure to title it right. Use something like "Vintage Action Force or Palitoy Action Force.

Note: PICS ARE CLICKABLE

On second thought, though, I withdraw my Baroness suggestion for now, since there are other good ones to do, like Iron Grenadiers, Sunbow diver, the new Joe version, or some of the ones you mentioned.

I would definitely say Sigma 6 is a contender for best bang for your buck across the various incarnations of Joe. The only line/subline I can think of that would compete would be the PoC-30th+ era of 3.75" Joe, but it wasn't universal with those assortments the way it tended to be with Sigma 6.

Especially when you figure in that Sigma 6 accessories were often all painted, etc...
