    Yes on the suited Tomax and Xamot! Looking forward to the ReAction O-rings of them later this year. Would happily pick them up in the classified range as well.

    • @MacDowin
      @MacDowin  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I am excited for the Super7 o-rings also. I heard rumors that Fresh Monkey Fiction might release a blue suit in 6”, so… that might be something to keep in mind.

    I also started collecting the Classified line from the very beginning #00. And I would have never guessed that the line would be this far within 4.5 years.
    I love it!

    • @MacDowin
      @MacDowin  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I admit I was an early naysayer. Told several people that we would not get very many figures and not to get expectations up. So glad I was wrong. Had to apologize to a few people also. Let’s keep going! My next highly desirable want is Barricade.

    Good overview. Classified got me back into Joe for the first time since I was a teen and gave my collection to my cousin. My method is to get one of every character, but not every figure (e.g. one Baroness, one Copperhead) though I have made some exceptions (e.g. regular and PD Destro which I switch out periodically) and have done a bit of Army building (Vipers and CGs that surround CoCo).

    • @MacDowin
      @MacDowin  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That sounds like a reasonable and sane way to approach this line. Trying to go after every figure can drive a person nuts.

    This is an amazing review, but since you brought up the ' network,' blue variant cobra commander, I have to add that hascrap ripped me after it was initially put on their site way,way back when the line began. I had it on preorder for more than a year when it supposed to be shipped I contacted hascrap and they got back to me telling me I hadn't paid, when I had. So they tried billing me twice more and cancelled my preorder. Had to shut off my debit card twice! What a hassle hascrap caused me. And from that moment on I vowed revenge! No longer a normal human, I lurk in the shadows, stalking the alley's and streets , waiting for the day that Lenny and piggy will feel my wrath and crap like that 😂

    • @MacDowin

  • @falcon048
    @falcon048 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Awesome line up. I have most of these, except for the HISS which I failed to get :(. And the two other Classified Cobra Commanders.
    I am like you in that I mildly army build. Minimum 2 or 3 with a leader/officer.
    One thing that gets overlooked, is that Storm Shadow (classic version) and the original Cobra Officer both have an extra set of articulation over all other classified figures to date. They both have forearm swivel. At some point they must have felt like it was too much cost and cut that feature out. :(
    Then one other odditiy. If ever I could ask Lenny a question, I would ask WHY.....oh WHY....with the legion of tooled parts and their penchant for reuse.....have they NEVER reused the Cobra Officer torso. Why? Even when they re-painted Python Patrol or 788 Fire team or even the Stinger driver.....the original Officer torso is absent. It has the rank on it -____-. I wonder if it was lost or damaged somehow.

    • @jasonatreides2542
      @jasonatreides2542 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@MacDowin yes I saw the packaging art and I thought hey they got the faceplate right! It sort of has a nanoviper vibe but than the actual figure in hand.
      1) mask faceplate let down
      2) dreads hinder articulation
      3) Zartans chest plate looks way better than his bulky vest.
      4) the animal pelt around the waist is clunky.
      5) missing his net and other cleaving weapons.
      This may be the first figure I let go of in hopes of a "retro" version which in his case wld be poc.
      Only this figure and falcons head and the gummy weapons my only complaints about the line so far.
      Everything else imo is awesome sauce!

  • @AlanDavidDoane
    @AlanDavidDoane 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    They didn't use the Crimson Baroness arms on the Retro one because the Retro one came out first, and so those arms didn't exist yet. The Crimson Baroness head won't work on any of the other figures because the peg hole is much smaller, unfortunately.

(He was described as a multiple personality paranoid scitsophrenic). THE NOKS RULE!😂. Some of my favorite Joe characters.

    The python officer 2 is based off the original python officer. The first python officer they came out with the green shirt was the mislabeled one and is what the original python trooper looked like. I guess they labeled the second one as the officer to try and right the ship.

    • @MacDowin
      @MacDowin  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Classified was my first 6” Hasbro line so I am not as familiar with how they did things prior to classified. Repaints back in the 80s were to get popular figures back out in the market. I have learned that these days it is a money saving option. It’s an interesting different figure world than it use to be.

  • @Finraen
    @Finraen 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    NOTE: Range Viper was a Wal-Mart exclusive, which is worse than Target exclusives because Wal-Mart doesn’t even stock GI Joe Classified in stores, and they have very low stock online. Range Vipers sold out online very fast, and have basically been $50+ for some time now.

    • @MacDowin
      @MacDowin  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1
