G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Figure Poll - #163 - Gallows (Plague)

I actually prefer the slightly updated Collector's Club version over the original. So if they went that route with a Classified version I would be in right away.

This is the weird place for me, being more into my tween/teen years when DEF and Eco-Warriors came out, because I was still “playing” with my toys (like I’ve ever stopped, ha ha), but my “storylines” got much MUCH darker. Like I remember staying up watching New Jack City while playing with my DEFs/Headhunters, playing out really grim Robocop-style scenarios with Robo-JOE and Cyber-Vipers, massive torture scenes with the Interrogator, and pre-Resident Evil bio-horror with Cesspool and company. The figures were brighter (not the Headhunter faction, they were grim as fuck), but my *mind* was darker, so the 90s villains went to much more neo-noir and action-horror places for me. Even the trad-military stuff played dark as hell with me, being in Gulf War era with all the “shine” rubbed off the military for me. Neon 90s ARAH was definitely not bright and sunny for me, and I loved that.

Love this take, Ace! I, too was definitely getting darker in my play style when these figures were coming out.

Huge yes to Ninja Force Storm Shadow! I love that look for him. I want him to look classic and have really functional articulation.

And yes to Headman! But specifically to get the fantastic Headhunters and Headhunter Stormtroopers! Absolutely loved those designs and the original figures.

Yes to Long Range and the Thunderclap vehicle, which was one of my favorite heroic vehicle sets in the line. Always loved Long Range’s helmet.

I missed the Cesspool entry. Absolutely need him! But I want both an unmasked head and his awesome helmet. He had such a fantastic suit. And I would love to get Toxo-Vipers and Sludge Vipers. Eco-Warriors had amazing armor designs!

Now we are talking! These two are definitely in my top ten most wanted!

Absolutely yes to BAT V2! Love them so much! I’d want a ton of them. And in all colors. But definitely need the original black and neon orange.

And yes to Crimson Guard Immortals! Love the idea of weight lifting lawyers in heavy battle armor! (I’m already a weight lifting lawyer. I just need some armor!). This was one of my favorite designs as a kid. Crimson is one of my favorite colors, and I wear that color all the time.

Day 163a - Gallows - (Plague) (2/22/26)

It's Sunday, which means going back to work tomorrow, but it also means a new week of Joes! Finally we have reached Plague week, starting with the former SAW Viper now going by the codename Gallows. Gallows is one of the few Plague characters to get an action figure in the 3 3/4 line, even if he was inaccurate to the comic design. Still, would be cool to include that helmet as an alternate head!

Beware of guys in black, turtleneck sweaters. It shows how fearsome they are.
Sure. I’d probably get him. Classified would probably do him justice.
