Controversial an opinion as it may be, I think Duke is fine, and frankly, I don't see how anyone could be bummed about Beach Head, Zartan or Major Bludd. Those figures are perfection from where I sit. I'm kinda odd in that I actually don't want 100% ARAH accuracy, though. I already have all of the originals, for the most part, and part of the appeal of Classified for me is that they are recognizably the characters they represent, but modernized a bit.

Now that Classified seems to have switched to making ARAH inspired versions for future releases has Hasbro talked about going back and making more classic inspired versions of Scarlett, Duke, Gung-Ho, Major Bludd, Cobra Commander, Flint, Beachhead, Cobra Infantry, Zartan, The Red Ninjas, Cobra Vipers, Firefly and Snake-Eyes? Because none of the current versions of those figures will fit with ARAH classified Roadblock or any of the new revels from yesterday or any future ARAH classified figures.

Flint is great but I don't care for the facial scar. Duke is ok, but I think he could have a better face sculpt and no facial scar. Gung-Ho looks pretty good but I don't like the face sculpt or the hair. Scarlett in her classic colors would look awesome. Of those four figures, Gung-Ho was the only one I didn't purchase. |

but you mentioned some that are already inspired by more classic looks.. Zartan, Maj Bludd, and Viper are all fine for now... until they go straight up RAH on retro cardbacks |

None of the current Scarletts are decent. Need multiple classic CCs. Firefly needs his classic look. The shinguard figs do need to be re-done eventually, but there's others I want first. I would love to eventually see more classic versions of the others as well.

I see the need to revisit a few- Gung-Ho, Scarlett, and Cobra Commander are really all that stick out to me, though. Especially CC- the SSCC is the only version that remotely does it for me, but the minute a more traditional one is released (and one will be), that version gets the axe. I don't like the Red Ninja either, but I really don't care enough to want it revised.
Controversial an opinion as it may be, I think Duke is fine, and frankly, I don't see how anyone could be bummed about Beach Head, Zartan or Major Bludd.

I already have all of the originals, for the most part, and part of the appeal of Classified for me is that they are recognizably the characters they represent, but modernized a bit. For instance, I think the Classified Scarlett is the best Scarlett design ever. Between the redeco and the movie version, I'm satsified. I've always hated the onesie/leotard. The Classified Duke redeco is perfect, no need to redo him for a while. The only two figures that aren't 100% "nailed" are Cobra Commander and Gung Ho. But Snake Supreme and Regal Cobra Commander are damn fine figures. I'm 1000% sure we will get more Cobra Commanders, but there are sooooo many characters to get to before we revisit the originals. There is a genuine thrill every time they reveal a new Classified figure. |

I agree about needing more ARAH accurate versions of Scarlett, Gung-Ho, Cobra Commander and Duke in particular. I really hope they re-do Duke for a more classic look before they do the invetiable Tiger Force re-deco.
Beach Head the figure looks great as-is - but I'd like a version where his weapons aren't that silly green color. I don't quite get why some people are so opposed to re-doing these characters. It's not like Hasbro would ever consider only giving us strictly new figures every wave; they will want to get the most out of the parts they already produced, and will be looking for a lot of re-use of molds and re-coloring either way. |

GI JOE fans are so idiosyncratic in their tastes and preferences, no one will ever be happy.

There is a genuine thrill every time they reveal a new Classified figure. I also agree about that excitement, though- When I saw Outback, Spirit, and both BATS, I nearly lost my shit. Tunnel Rat and Stalker would send me over the moon. But I have to admit, I've gotten just as excited when there have been needed improvements made. As a huge Roadblock fan, I was not going to bother collecting the line when it was just the first 2.5 versions. The HA version brought me in. Alpha Commando Snake Eyes further sealed the deal-though I did like the v1, goofy weapons notwithstanding.
