Spearhead and Max, for the bobcat.

At this point it seems people are merely voting to complete earlier years vice what is likely to translate into the best Classified figure (in this case 1986).

H&R is boring. Just buy his clone from The Other Place. Minus accessories of course. He lost last year and this year. Hopefully he won't be in next year's Bracket.

Hit and Run is extremely popular, one of the better figures from the line, he was runner up to Battle armored Cobra Commander last year and likely will be made sooner rather than later.
We already have a medic in Doc and was never a big fan of lifeline, Spearhead and Max are also great characters from later in the line, but i used him alot.

Probably a lost cause at this point, but Spearhead and Max over Lifeline any day.

Nothing against the medic, but I'm more interested in seeing more of the '88 guys getting done.

I?m the same way. Lifeline would be great in classified and the 85-86 figures are clearly getting a bunch of votes. I looked back thru 1988 though and that was a great year for the line and when Hasbro does a tour thru 1988 in classified there are some great figures that would be made. The line won?t be done when they get thru 85, 86, and the OG13 because there is still a bunch of great things outside of those years.

I can remember even back in 1988, seeing the lineup and thinking the '88 guys had a certain kind of edge to them that the previous years didn't (to me). They seemed more buff, hardcore type.
Spearhead seemed bigger, Muskrat was built like a brickhouse, Road Pig was a beast Charbroil seemed larger and more menacing than Blowtorch and even guys like Budo and Repeater seemed stacked with their big vests and Repeater had a steadicam on his hip.

There was a Sarge that year too, so more muscle. Yeah, it seemed like a more meaner, bigger bunch of guys.

I got into GI Joe at the very end of '83 right after I turned 5, so I have a lot of fond memories of figures from those earlier years ('82-'85), but my personal favorite years and when I was all-in and a bit older and appreciated the characters more was 1987-1988. Bring 'em all on!

I hope the line goes strong for at least another 3 or 4 years so we can get most or all of the '89-'91 characters too. 1992 is when I think there are some characters I may not be as enthusiastic for, but even those last few years have a lot of great figures to tap into and I wouldn't mind seeing most of them in Classified. But even some of those that I may not think I want would probably still end up being cool Classified figures to get. This line is that good.

Plus, some people's favoeote years may be '92-'94, so I hope those fans get their favorites too.

I was into joes in 82 and collected till the original line ended in 94, there was a couple small relaunchs and i got those, and was fully back into it when they relanched again the early 2000s, so I havent really stopped collecting joes since they first appeared, i even had the old 12" joes with realistic hair and moving eyes.
