G.I. Joe Classified Series

Random question and this feels like as good a thread as any to ask it in:

Does anyone know of a figure that comes with a 6" scale double barrel shotgun? Need one for a silly little custom project. Doesn't matter if it's Classified, Legends, Monster Force, Valaverse, Fortnite. Just looking for a standard double barrel shotgun. Got plenty of single barrels laying around.

The Marvel Legends (Walgreens exclusive?) Jigsaw came with a sawn-off double barrel, didn't he?
 
I'm mostly holding to the no-repeats... except when I'm not.

Like I have PD Destro and Cold Slither, but those are so much their own thing and have their own spots away from the main collection.

Retro Snake Eyes is the only real outlier in that I wanted him but use a different Snake Eyes in my display. But I justify it by putting him with my little Action Force/others display playing the role of Stalker. (Stalker was the name given to the Palitoys release of Snake Eyes. They did release a version of Stalker but his name was Jammer, who I also have in custom form on the shelf from an extra Classified Stalker. Not confusing at all)

I probably have something. I think I have one in my parts bin from the McFarlane Evil Dead Ash figure that fell apart and was replaced by a Neca version.

Ooh, that looks like it would be great. If you happen to see it around, I'd definitely be interested
 
The ML Punisher set that came with a motorcycle has one, and I'm sure that you can track that down quite easily for next to nothing.
I kid don't hit.
I actually ran by Gridiron just to check, one of my headcannon guys needs a signature weapon and that sounds perfect. Shotguns galore, all single barrel. Huh.

Ha, yeah, I went to Gridiron too and was surprised that despite them having a whole section of shotguns, no double barrels

I actually did get that Motorcycle set a couple years ago for real cheap. My local toy store had it loose for $25. Figure and bike. It was only missing the horned head.
 
One of the wackier McFarlane gun sets is only $9 SHIPPED on Walmart.com:


Generally-speaking these are a little large for Classified but I find them scale well with big guys like Roadblock. I'm planning on using the SPAS shotgun with Heavy Duty or two-pack Sarge. Looks like there's possibly a double-barreled shotgun in there too. I love the micro-uzi mold in this set in particular.
 
Here's CI Roadblock with Gung Ho's vest rocking the McF micro-uzi and grenade launcher:

I will say: maybe I missed this about the retro line. But now that I have Cover Girl. She also looks cartoony like Flint. It's just very different to my eye from Mercer, Baroness, Dial Tone, Crystal Ball. At this point that surely is intentional. Maybe they were always trying to do this with retro?

It's very subtle. But it's like when Roger Cruz appeared on shelf stands with Joe Madureira.

It’s late for me to be commenting on this, but this is such an obscure and specific analogy and I know exactly what it’s referring to and it’s perfect and I love it. 😆
 
Anyone else looking for Classified to release a more classic looking Clutch? I'd like one in the tan uniform.

Green Shirts arrived via Pulse, Short Fuze and Steeler arrived via Target.

Steeler is the most straight forward of the bunch. I dig the visor helmet, but aside from that, he's pretty plain. Short Fuze is a fidgety toy. The mortar fit onto the backpack, but the spade felt like the hole was too small for the square peg. The backpack sometimes would be too tight, other times, would fall right off. The straps are fidgety, but fit best so that the horizontal back strap is below the peg. The helmet and glasses combo took quite a while to fit so that both items looked right on his head. Not sure why some characters get separate glasses while others have them sculpted to the head. I'd have preferred the latter for SF.

The Green Shirts are fine. I only opened one so far, and am keeping this one black. I'm thinking of outfitting him with some of the extra gear I've stripped off the cheap Falcons I've gotten from the 2pk, just so these guys don't look so bare bones. I only plan to open two, but am waiting til more arrive so I retain one on a fresh card for the carded collection.

***For the record - the Green Shirt heads are NOT COMPATIBLE with the police heads! I just checked, the socket at the bottom of the GS heads is too wide for the little neck peg of the police body. I'm sure with more work (swapping heads at the neck connection) could work, but it's not as easy as just popping one GS head onto a Police.***
 
Just stumbled on Sci-Fi, Mainframe, and Grim Viper at Target, applied $10 off $50 and got them for $21 or so each! They didn’t have my most wanted Wet Suit tho.
