G.I. Joe Classified Series: The Chatty Pointless Thread & Performance Art

[NORM]

Grasping Claw Hands (besides being someone’s nickname in college) is my number one want from Cobra-La figures. That’s the thing they all lack, but are otherwise still so bad ass.

Stupid fucking Doc.

I want this on my tombstone.

(The next file card is going to be a named Cobra-La Royal Guard if that... hinders or helps with the pain of buying the figure...)

I guess we'll fucking see, won't we?
Asshole.

How nervous are you if Shipwreck’s on leave?

He single-handedly ground the whole female guard force over the course of a week as the all are on an antibiotic regime for a month until that pee burn clears up.

My latest custom obsession is good-guy Wade Collins, and I finally realized... he just needs to be Footloose with a new head, so now I'm hoping for a Retro version of Footloose to use so he'll be at least a little different from Footloose.

Grasping Claw Hands

Okay, I got the Green Soldier Man today and he really is a solid figure, not that that's a surprise with this line. Question: are his patches legit for real-world elite forces? I ask cos I want to write up a file card for him but I want to make sure I'm taking into consideration what his real-world inspiration is before I make him, like, Welsh or something.

From what I've been able to find, they are generic special forces images. The one with the wolf is a riff on a bunch of other SF style patches. The sword/star one is pretty much the same. Something almost looking like a real world counterpart.

Legally Distinct Soldier Man!

The 85 wave (Snake Eyes, Lady Jaye, Shipwreck, Footloose, etc) was when I really got serious about the line and I went all in on the Joe side at least, and I've really been resisting the idea of going all in with them in Classified... but I think I'm losing that fight now.

'85 Joes will ALWAYS AND FOREVER be my favorite group.

 

[Ru1977]

I think it's the closest to a perfect wave, probably because of the cartoon featuring all of them pretty heavily.

 

[Chooch555]

The cartoon made '85 the default line for many people. My wallet is the 85 catalogue art.

On Ninja Force Scarlett reveal day, here is your reminder that love means deliberately missing the heart when stabbing your undercover boo:

Fortunately, there are absolutely NO other vital organs anywhere in there.
