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

Gallows is lame. Hard no.

Crimson Guard Immortal is a soft yes. I'm not like.. super excited by him or anything. And I have a general disinterest in the entire Crimson Guard thing to begin with. But I do like his design a fair bit and I'm 85% sure I'd grab him if I saw him.
 
Day 163b - Grim Skull - (Plague) (2/22/26)

Final figure for the first day of Plague week, Grim Skull is a former Sand Viper (in this thread back on 2/5/26) and another one of the few Plague characters to get an action figure in the 3 3/4 line. Like Gallows, he also came with an inaccurate head but it would still be cool to include that helmet as an alternate head.

Sure why not.

Although I should probably say finally that I literally don’t care about the Plague one way or the other. If cool figures are made, I will buy, but as far as “oooooh I love those guys” . . . nah. Toys/filecards first, Marvel/Hama second, Sunbow third . . . and everything else is pretty much just “if cool toy, will buy”.
 
That's basically where they fall for me. There isn't much in the post-Marvel comics that I think is amazing, but the concept of the Plague guys is cool to me and I'm into having at least some on the shelf to repurpose with my shelf canon.
 
I think the problem for me is that a lot of post-Marvel stuff comes off as so fucking edgelord tryhard. Everything is 'this other thing that already exists, but with SPIKES and STRAPS and we painted it BLACK and the guy's name is MURDERPSYCHO or BLOODWOLF DARKMASTER.' Like.. fuck off with this wildly uncreative, boring garbage.

MURDERPSYCHO would like a word with you in the other room. Don’t mind his machetes. 😈
 
Honestly the Plague in general are good, but not great, to me personally. I think Lenny could do a great job with them but I am okay waiting for other characters first before them.
