I've been pondering why some Classifieds don't interest me but why I'm super into others, I noticed that if I didn't own the v1 o-ring figure I was more into the Classified figure, where if I owned the figure in ME form I was more disinterested
I'm not interested in the Crimson Twins because I have the ME versions front & center on my display shelf, but I don't own originals of the v1 of Destro, Serpentor, Zarana, Mindbender, & more classics So what I'm saying is..do you prefer Classifieds of figures you don't have the originals of or do you prefer having Classified versions because you have the o-ring? |

I don't v1 of the Classified Duke, R.B. and Scarlett. I never plan on getting v1 Classified Duke and R.B. because I don't like the gold accents. I might get v1 Classified Scarlett at some point in time.

Im not a person who has to own every figure made, so, thus far, I have passed on Serpentor, Dr. Mindbender, Zarana, Dusty, Zartan, all of the movie figures and virtually all of the snake-eye figures and a few others including all the repaints of the BATS, i have 3 regular, thats enough for me.

I actually liked the original designs of the classified line when they came out. The newer figures are a better fit to what everyone wants, and I really think the design team is bringing their A game. I like almost all the newer classified figures now too. As for owning o-rings, and modern 4" they became to expensive for me to justify collecting them. Even the new o-rings are crazy priced... I did buy snake-eyes and Storm Shadow, their cards bent withing hours of taking them out of the box :/ I appreciate and don't throw any negativity toward anyone who does collect the smaller figures. We should all get the figures we want. 6" scale is my jam though.

I want the figures I had as a kid.
But I also like to get cool figs I didn't have as kid (twins, beachhead, for example) But there haven't been any figs yet that I wasn't interested in as a kid, that I now have an interest in because of classified. I'm hoping that changes though. Last edited by GI FLINT; 12-20-2022 at 03:23 PM.. |

I don't have a lot of Classified, and will definitely be buying less with the new packaging, but from what I have, let's see...
Storm Shadow - yes, had the original Baroness - yes, had the original Zartan - yes, had the original Alley Viper - yes, had the original Crimson Guard (preorder) - yes, had the original Blue Ninja set - N/A Most of my "core" characters have been done so there's not a lot left I'd be willing to splurge on, but I'd get Slice & Dice, Crystal Ball, Jinx (if done well in the 1987 style, none of that blindfold shit) and probably a Night Viper, Iron Grenadier or Voltar (no buzzard, no deal though!) |

I don't own a single classified, I have modern 4" sculpts of almost every Joe character I wanted and have no desire to buy new 6 inch versions. The vehicles are a huge part of Joe for me and the 6 inch line doesn't do that.

I feel you. This will never be "the real" GI Joe line to me, I'll always think of it like the Star Wars Black Series. Just something fun to collect on the side. But yes, Star Wars and Joe have always relied heavily on vehicles.

Vehicles never meant a thing to me. I was all about the characters.
I only collect the characters I like, and that's no different with Classified. I have version of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow and Cobra Commander in so many iterations....vintage figures, new sculpt, modern era, Sigma Six, etc. Honestly, the 6 inch scale is the one I've been waiting decades for, so for me these are THE REAL versions I've always wanted. The only one I've picked up that I never had the vintage figure of is BAT. I never got the original cause it's too expensive, but I always wanted one. Now I have the big one, so I'm good. |

For the most part I buy nearly every Classified figure. But I suppose my favorite figures are any that are based on an original o-ring ARAH figure or character, especially the ones I had as a kid or always really wanted but never had.
