G.I. Joe Classified - News & Updates

They've got me for the Special Forces guy. The Night Creeper almost looks like the plague guy but I can wait for the real one. Zanya I can wait for a sale, the Raptor guy I kinda dig the masked version and may sell off the dinosaur...

Quite a few on that list.... and maybe the unknown characters, who knows?
 
Raptor guy is a really cool, interesting design. But I just don't know how/if that fits into my Joe collection, to be honest.
Action Soldier looks... weird, and obnoxiously bright. Maybe I just need to see better pics of him.
Dire Tech Night Creeper? Someone is gonna have to help me get hold of that obvious store exclusive, because it looks awesome. I never got the Viper version, so.... hopefully someone takes pity on me.
Cowboy guy looks super fun and I definitely would like to grab that one.

Weirdly enough... Dawn looks way nicer to me on display than in the official pics they released, where her proportions looked really off.

All the stuff that I already knew I wanted, like Zartan and Overkill, look fucking phenomenal.

Dawn does look better live. Kinda tempted even though I have no experience with the character.
 
It's really cool how much they showed, and how varied it all is. I feel like there's something for almost everyone, heh.

I too have no real experience with Dawn, but I think she looks great — only she'll be serving with Cobra in these parts. Maybe she'll help take care of the dinosaur ...

She almost feels like she should be working for the Hand and trying to kill Daredevil, no?
 
I try and only get characters that had figures in the vintage ARAH line when it comes to Classifieds. Sometimes, I don't stick to that though, and I feel there are a couple things here that may make me break my normal rules.

While not a variation from ARAH, something about that Snake Eyes and his 4-Wheeler just looks awesome. I love his neon green goggles, and that Trouble Bubble and Viper that come with him look really cool too.

Then, that Anniversary Soldier looks fun. Lots of display options, weapons, and accessories.

The cowboy and Raptor Cobra Guy I don't think I need. But I do really appreciate the full-on insanity though of a Cobra villain that has a Raptor. I don't know if I feel it fits in, at least in my GI Joe collection, but that kind of crazy thinking defined the 80's and 90's toy lines, and I'm happy to see it here.

I mean, my favorite toy line in the world is centered around a barbarian with a green fucking tiger. So, whether I buy it or not, respect for Raptor guy.
 
Okay Pixel Dan interviewed Lenny and all sorts of clarification about the figures revealed:


Highlights:

-New character is named Sundown and he is a bounty hunter looking for his brother who has been kidnapped by Headman

-Raptor Master is actually a dual character. Masked he is a Paleo-Viper. Unmasked he is Professor Rock Claw. Keeper of the bioengineered dinos (by Dr. Mindbender)

- Chameleon has front handlebar gun storage and the seat has more storage.

- SE colours based on original sticker art. Viper is apparently called Stealth Viper.
 
holy crap, those pics look good. that raptor guy, i never heard of him in GI JOE. he is a must have. the cowboy guy looks dope too, instant buy.
 
HEADMAN NAME DROP!!!
Here comes my favorite 90s Cobra faction!

Also: mad props for using the ACTUAL scientific name for the raptor: DEINONYCHUS!!! And proper scientific size (sorry, Jurassic Park, deinonychus was NOT as tall as people) and FEATHERS FEATHERS FEATHERS!
