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

    Amazon jumping the gun on some of the POs? Amazon.com: : Stores I don't think it'll be a jet of any kind next time, as they need to change it up to be interesting. Joe didn't get a tank counterpart to the HISS, and I don't really consider the Rattler a counter to the Dragonfly. So it doesn't...

    You know, I hear that all the time, and I took it as fact for a while. But this Classified Rattler is not even 1:18th scale. A true 1:18 A-10 Thunderbolt would have a wingspan of roughly 38". This is 32". We all know how big a 1:18th F-14 is because we've all owned a spotcat at one time or...

    The parachute is small, but it does wad up in the backpack, which is a nice touch.

    It's like they cheaped out and eliminated the horizontal section of the tail. You can't unsee the terrible. But any classified couldn't just upscale a bad rerelease.

    The one you quoted was the original '83 version reused for the 25th version. Basically the same w/ new control stick. Nothing wrong with either of those. The second one in my post above is the WM neo-retro version from 2-3 years ago... same line that gave us black and blue HISSes, an awe...

    I saw that... looks like the gimpy WM fang with the stumpy tail. I hope that's just what they had around for background fodder and not the Classified design. I don't know why it bugs me, but that WM fang is sooooo less attractive than the original. The WM version looks like a pregnant...

    But they did release a 25th Tiger Force version too, the Tiger Rat in 2009. It was a Target exclusive too. 2008 YOJOE.COM | Cobra Rattler 2009 YOJOE.COM | Tiger Rat IIRC, they couldn't give them away. The "Tiger Rat" shelf-warmed forever, finally getting clearanced for little or nothing. I...

    They did re-release the rattler during the 25th... it was a target exclusive, but they definitely put it back out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    No, she was just an early Hasbro repaint after AF started using hasbro molds rather than 5 PoA figures from "the before time" Palitoy days. There was no such thing as Night Force when Quarrel and the rest were released. In the early days of the hasbro takeover ('84-'85-ish), they recolored...

    I know Gnawgahyde isn't everyone's cup of tea, but WM has him from a 3rd party seller for $22... not bad considering MSRP is $35 and he just got release in the last few weeks. I mean, he comes with two pets, one of which is a monkey with an eyepatch. How can anyone not find that funny?! G.I...

    Glenda was a South American scarlett repaint, while Quarrel was a british Action Force repaint (like "Gaucho" made from Gung-Ho, "Jammer" from Stalker, or british "Stalker" from OG Snake Eyes).

    WM collector con... Falcon and Quarrel 2-pack, on sale the 25th and/or 26th (?). The Falcon head is a massive improvement over the regular release, so the fight will be to get the extra heads from the people who army-build these as Steel Brigades. (I halfway expect the head to not fit the...

    My Torches and Gnawgahyde arrived last week, Jinx's arrived yesterday, and the Beachhead, Eel, Snow Serp retro wave has shipped from pulse. The NF Shockwave with the dark-colored bike, Doc, and Night Creepers shipped too. I think that'll be everything I was expecting this summer. I like the...
