Black Series recently revised their articulation scheme to feature less articulation points. No more double jointed knees and elbows. GI Joe Classified is now the most articulated US action figure line on the market. Period.

Viper just shipped, which is crazy considering I wasn't able to preorder until December 19th when I checked on a whim! I only ordered one so maybe they are fulfilling single orders?
Wish I would have known before I visited all those Targets but I didn't go *too* far out of the way. |

The double-jointed knees are the only feature of the Classified figures I *don't* like. I can't stand trying to pose the legs and the lower joint is always easier to move and I have to really screw with it to get a natural bent knee look. And I'm always afraid I'm going to bust a leg when I start trying to bend them more. It's just an awkward feeling.

Maybe it is good karma for the Baroness I sold for price+shipping last year.

I've bought quite a few of the recent Black Series figures. And I like the figures. The Beskar Mando has solid articulation but, Classified is superior. Classified figures feature butterfly joints, double jointed knees/shoulders on all figures (even on female figures with Lady Jaye's release) a neck joint at the head and torso connection, and drop down hips.
Black Series recently revised their articulation scheme to feature less articulation points. No more double jointed knees and elbows. GI Joe Classified is now the most articulated US action figure line on the market. Period. Point taken, but......the comment wasn't that Classified figures were the "most articulated figures". The comment was that Classified figures are the "greatest". Obviously we're talking about matters of opinion here, so to each his own, *BUT* articulation isn't the sole indicator of greatness. Put that Classified Scarlett figure up against the Marvel Legends Nebula figure, or that new Duke against the new Beskar Mando figure and tell me which one is better? Again, to each his own, but I just think all "Classified = The Greatest" talk is a bit exaggerated and premature.

Again, to each his own, but I just think all "Classified = The Greatest" talk is a bit exaggerated and premature. That said your comparison asks one to compare the arguably weaker figures in GJC to two of the strongest figures in Marvel Legends and Black Series. If we are to compare "greatness to greatness" let's use Beskar Mando vs Cobra Trooper and Nebula vs Baroness. As much as I LOVE those Mando and Nebs figures CT and Baroness edge them out. Others may feel differently. We are indeed way early in the GJC line to begin claiming it's the greatest line going. However, all signs point to,"yes" in my opinion. One thing is for certain...we certainly have a large number of fantastic figures coming out of the Hasbro camp that the game "Which one is the greatest" struggles to find a clear winner. That's a great problem for us to have. For all things 2020 totally fucked up Hasbro figures were not one of those things.
