I came across this issue too when I found only the one target trooper. There was never a chance that I'd be content with just the 1 lol. So I managed to snag a few Action Force troopers to fill in gaps. I just found this new Star Dusk line on Kickstarter too and the trooper there is gonna look great with my ranks as well. He's even red so it's perfect lol. Where Hasbro fails, these indie toy companies are picking up the slack

Why not troop build actual Cobra Troopers?

I came onto the Classified scene late (as I don't collect anything vigorously anymore) and have no idea how much of a hubbub this line is causing due to scarcity. I've managed to make some pre-orders for troops but for sake of space/finances I'll limit to two - four max for troops. I have one red ninja so far.

I put together 4-5 Erik Killmonger soldier bucks back in January when they were $11. That is way too many, they take up tons of space. That killed any enthusiasm for troop building for me. To me the 6" line is good in small does, but they are just too large overall. For some reason, the well articulated Sgt. Savage figures seem to be the perfect scale, but 5 inch is no go anymore.

I have quite a lot of Cobra Troopers, 9 MOTUC Horde Troopers, 8 NECA footsoldiers, and an absurd amount of the new Black Series Stormtrooper and all I can say is . . . it's more fun to buy these guys than display them.
6" figures are really big. You need a lot of shelf space to army build AND display.

6" figures are really big. You need a lot of shelf space to army build AND display. Army builder figures and gun wielders in general alleviate the size problem a little bit. Troops don’t look as bad being displayed with less space between. Gun carrying troop generally aren’t displayed in as dynamic poses that eat space like superheroes. All that being said I still don’t have all my 6” Star Wars clones displayed due size/space. At this point I’m pretty much done with 6” superheroes except to update existing characters. I’m going to cherry pick classified. I’m not getting troopers and vipers at the rate I bought clones |

1 and 3 definitely, but if they could put the officer in each one that would sell even better.
