Crazy to see so many Python Patrol Vipers and Bats around!
And all the target sales finally cleared the Joe pegs of LJ and CC! AND tiger force Recondo just shipped. |

They can do swap-able arms like Hasbro did on the ML Mr Fantastic or Moira MacTaggert figures.

I've heard that Lee used a knife when required during WW2. A mad bastard blowing bagpipes while debarking a landing craft would be less interested in dueling and more likely to beat someone to death through headbutting them and laughing uproariously throughout.

My Dusty should arrive from Pulse tomorrow. It might be the last Classified figure I get in 2022 unless any more surprises spring up before the month ends. So seeing that 2022 was a wild up and down year for Classified, how would you rate it on a scale of 1-10?
For me, it started off with BATs and Alley Vipers arriving in January. Then a long drought until Spirit, Storm Shadow, and Cobra Officer finally showed up but in recent weeks it's been a crazy whirlwind. Retro Cardbacks, Blue Ninjas, Viper 3-pack, Stalker, Crimson Twins, Kamakura, Snake Eyes/Timber V2, Sgt Slaughter, TF Outback, PP Bats and Vipers, Dr. Mindbener, Serpentor, CGs, Zarana, Dusty. Have to say Classified ended the year really strong when I was really expecting most of the figures I got the past two months were expected to show up in 2023. Throw in the wildly successful HISS tank HasLab campaign as icing on the cake. I have to give Classified in 2022 a 9 out of 10, mostly due to the strong finish the line is having to finish out the year. |

I'm all for General Hawk, but I'd love for them to flesh out the 0-13, too. Plus, they'd be bragging points for Hasbro, with the 0-13's diversity (rare for '82/'83).

Not only does it *feel* like the supply chain issues have eased, CNBC reported that ports are flowing now and shipping rates are down 90% over their pandemic peak. Maybe we'll see GI Joe Classifieds return to $22.99 MSRP? I'm only kidding. Of course we won't. Hasbro's annuals are gonna be dismal anyway, they'll use that as a justification. Y'all see the $60 G-D Blob they put on Pulse today?!?

Hasbro:
Those 3-packs are worse. Such a high pricetag for re-use across the packs alone.

Once June hit it seemed like a steady flow of figures though and the delays slowly started shrinking in time. 2022 ended up being kind of cool though because Hasbro was giving us over-estimations for 2023 releases on figures that were all supposed to be released this year. And then what do ya know, we did actually end up getting them all in 2022! It was a big victory for us and the Joe team at Hasbro! Really looking forward to 2023 and a more normal, spread-out release schedule. Although 2023 will also give us a lot more figures and waves than 2022, so our wallets won't be getting as many breaks I guess.
