G.I. Joe Classified Series

Cesspool was my defacto Cobra leader whenever I didn't feel like pulling out a Cobra Commander figure, or sometimes just because Cesspool seemed cooler. Definitely want a figure of him badly. Salvo is a favorite of mine, too.
 
Look man, running an international terrorist conglomerate is exhausting and you need a day off. Let Cesspool get some leadership time under his belt, sip some Pina Coldas and have a long earned weekend.
 
Just been looking at who's left from the '82-'87 period (not counting various vehicle drivers) that we've not had renders of yet and it's:
  • Zap
  • Flash
  • Grand Slam
  • Ripcord (regular)
  • Airtight
  • Iceberg
  • Crazy Legs (regular)
  • Fast Draw
  • Psyche Out
  • Sneak Peek
  • Taurus
  • Red Dog
  • Golobulus
  • Battleforce 2000 (lol)
Looking at this again, so.... Crazy Legs was announced right? And Iceberg, as well as Red Dog and Taurus. Golobulus cannot be far behind. I doubt I'll get any BF2000 guys but I am extremely interested in how those will look in Classified.

Sure, yeah, if you wanna come back to a complete shitshow. Have you met that guy?!

but yeah, I would like a figure of Cesspool as well. Have at him the way they did Crystal Ball where it's the same idea but cooler. And really, as much of a collector of the later years as I wasn't, I'm still always interested in how they'll do those figures. I'll never say no until I see a render, but even then it may lead to an impulse buy later on. I mean, I'll be very surprised if I ever want Ice Cream Soldier, but he clearly has his fans and I would love for that figure to get made for them. I want all the goofy outlandish shit done.
 
Every once in a while I open up my binder in which I keep my full set of G.I. Joe trading cards, just to see how many characters from that set are still unmade in Classified, and immediately on page 1 there's Cesspool and the Toxo-Viper and the rest of the Eco line. Not until those crazy bastards are made will I start thinking my collection is close to complete.

Not to mention Salvo, Hardball, Captain Gridiron and all the rest of the unmade characters from the trading cards. It's gonna be a while til I can start cooling my heels on Classified, I think.
I LOVE that card set. I wish they had one every year.
 
It feels like alone among all multi-decade fandoms, only Joe fans cannot even fathom that a part of the franchise can exist that they just don't care for and don't have to talk about. It's always like "I'll only buy this line until the '84 stuff is finished and then everything else is GARBAGE!' No one cares, dude. Nobody. Just let people have the stuff they like.

The only thing close to this is the amount of hate certain old-timers would give to Jim Lee X-Men whenever that team was brought up in ML for many years over on Fwoosh.

I guess you are unfamiliar with Star Wars, then?
 
Yep, I think my top three *new character* wants right now at this moment are:

1. Zombie-Viper
2. Cesspool
3. Deluxe Toxo-Viper/Toxo-Zombie
