    Those are nice. My sympathies to your wallet.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Agreed, the output has been pretty impressive, even if I'm not crazy about many of their character and design choices. My must-haves: -Flash -GrandSlam (preferably silver, but any will do) -Short-Fuse -Zap -Steeler (no MOBAT required, but it would be nice) -Hawk (Colonel, preferably with MMS...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    At this point, I refuse to worry about it. There is enough fodder between Classified, Vala, and ML to make darn near any character. With ebay, Ali, etsy, 3d printing... you'll be able to obtain any head, weapon, or accessory you need. Do I hope they continue giving us good versions of classic...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Yeah, I feel like another 3-4 years, and I'll have all the Classified I could ever need. By then everyone will be out, and most will have gotten a "better" second version or retro.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Hard tires aside, Gridiron gets it. They make stuff that is classic looking AND the modern, tacti-cool, or sci-fi look that appeals to others. They have stuff that looks great and some stuff that looks absurd. But at least there are options. The big drawback is their prices. I get it, if I...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Hasbro convinced me that they're not interested in making good looking (i.e. better proportions, higher detail) versions of classic vehicles. They'd rather faux-modernize to tacti-cool. As such, they pushed me to order the FansHobby Sky Hawk. It's not going to take a lot of space, and when...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    That's where I am. I know I can make it into something acceptable-looking, but I don't want to go to the time and exorbitant expense. And knowing I'll need 3d printed hard plastic tires just kills my soul. Having rubber tires is what makes stuff like this feel premium and worth it. Otherwise...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Just watched a review of the new CG, and I didn't realize that every part except the torso is completely new. I just assumed it was a cost-saving repaint with a new head. I have to give them props for not just doing an LBC release. Also, the face and hair are swappable (like LJ and Shippy)...

    Dude’s nose

    I think it's just a case of bad sculptors combined with deadlines. Somebody designs a dud and by the time protos come back, it's too late to start over. The molds are probably already in production and they're merely worried about plastic colors. In my brain, all the bad Classified headsculpts...

    Dude’s nose

    She looks like the chic in the episode of Seinfeld about the nose job.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Breaker is a yuge improvement in my eyes. Grey cartoon accurate uniform, correct short sleeves, close-enough comms gear, and a portrait that clearly isn't Bradley Cooper. He's not perfect, but he's waaaaaay closer than the RAM version. CG... she's a blonde in my world, and I like the toon...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    An enterprising individual used the SNAKE's flame effect to determine scale since it's an effect borrowed from Torch. This thing is massive (probably 10-11" tall) and confirmed to hold a classified trooper. I'm still fond of the S7 11" figure, and I hope it goes on sale for cheap after this...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    More pics... Now these... I I'm down for these. That Flint looks great. The whole line just needs to go retro, ditch the horrible modernization attempts. EDIT: Out of spite, I canceled my Outhouse Vipers. If this is the game they're playing, I'm not buying jack shit unless it's...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Seriously, WTF are they thinking?! I was under the impression that the Joe designers had gotten off the heavy Classified-ification of everything. That AWE Striker is a f#$%ing travesty. The gimpy tiny front wheels and the stupid modern top-heavy gunner seat... That piece of shit of not going...

    I just had an epiphany... ARAH Lowlight IS Kurtwood Smith, aka Red Forman. Lowlight's gonna put a foot in your ass! Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Yeah, Gridiron is doing some really neat stuff. I would have 100% bought some of their rim/tire replacements for the vamp and stinger, maybe some of the smaller add-ons.... except the tires are 3d printed hard plastic, not any kind of rubber or silicone. That was a deal-breaker for me. And...

    Marauder Inc. General Thread

    Nice. I elected to get my money back... because my interest waned quite a bit while waiting three-plus years, but if/when they become available to the general public, I might pick up a few of the ones I originally ordered. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Given the *flourish* of most Dreadnok monikers, I thought it would be funnier if their BAT just had a normal dude name. And something short that could be an acronym made even more sense. Mostly I like the jean jacket and copper mohawk. They're goofy and pointless, like most dreadnok decos...

    I mentioned a while back that I wanted to do a named-character Dreadnok BAT... so I finally got around to it. ;)
