G.I. Joe Classified - News & Updates

Pardon me, the clown's name is Koko, not Bobo

And I'd 100% buy these...
 
I'd love a Lifeline in more combat medic colors and less Bobo The Clown colors.
I was just thinking the same thing. I don’t hate Lifeline’s uniform, he was a fav of mine growing up. (My dad was a NYC paramedic.) But if I wanna display him with Doc, they look like two very different specialists. I love when these guys fit together both thematically and visually. I think Lifeline actually fits better with other rescue/first responder types like Law & Order and Barbecue.
 
I like Lifeline's red and white, but they'd get me for him again in more muted colors. I mean I know he had an official Tiger Force look and it seems like Classified has put that line on the back burner, but a Night Force Lifeline would look great instead.
 
My core memory of Lifeline is as a very young kid in Yuma, Arizona (first pass of a few) when my dad was in MAWTs, someone's wife had to go to the hospital and it was like 5:00 in the morning. So my mom brought me across the street to that house, and those kids were also up from the chaos, playing in the living room while the officer's wives all ran ops on whatever was happening. I think in hindsight someone had a mental break, but I was very young and I only have these fragmented memories.

And the core of that memory is sitting on that beige carpet with these kids, drowsy, and I was assigned a helicopter that was dragging Lifeline around. Whenever I would see him in plastic or cartoon, I'm always transported back to that living room with these vague shadows of adults moving around me.
