G.I. Joe Classified Series

Did you need to swap the whole neck or just the head? I got over-enthusiastic about getting Law & Order (which I always do with the animal companion guys) and preordered from two places... still got the second one in the box but wouldn't hate giving Law a partner to work with.

I swapped the head and neck just to be safe. Law's head fit, but was a little loose, so I chose to swap the neck as well to make it easier. The cop's head and neck fit fine on Law's peg in the torso once you heat the neck socket up a little.

Thanks! Looks like I'm keeping the extra L&O set and making a new character.
 
Finally got Cover Girl from EB online. It was marked as released and street dated 2 weeks ago when they charged me back then and then nothing.

I'm really happy with her. This is what I would want out of a standard classified Loadout. Alternate portrait. Display options. General weapons and a bespoke accessory or two. Alternate hands.

I love both portraits. I don't think it's intentional but I can see a bit of the Rise of Cobra version in the smile.

I think Classified has been doing a great job this year with their new face prints, and the consistency of how they execute.

One thing is that the Rattler Baroness does come across with a smaller head compared to a lot of new releases. It still looks good on the figure, but I wonder if they were scaling it down to try and make that helmet fit with the hair even though they gave up on it. Random observation.
 
My local Walmart, for a wonder, showed the Ghost Viper in stock this morning, and I finally had the chance to stop in about an hour ago. They still had three, but they also had Falcon/Quarrel, Lowlight/Spirit, Heavy Duty, the Desert Scorpion and the Firefighter, as well as a few Stingers that have been hanging out the last few weeks. Seeing that much on the shelves was nuts, but very welcome.
 
Opened one of my two Ghost Vipers. And received some green effects from Aliexpress. Green effects don’t match the FEAR green but…green.

I keep wanting to see what the Ghost Viper looks like without the skull printed on his helmet faceplate looks like. The skull could be left on as the leader while the blanks are the underlings, kinda like the Nazghul had less ornamentation on their helmets the lower they were in rank.

The green effects look great. I'm still uncertain whether Crystal Ball is supposed to be more occultic in nature or more like Mysterio in that he creates illusions? My understanding was the Ghost Viper utilizes mostly illusions like Scarecrow to induce fear? Whereas Crystal Ball might be a crackpot mystic no one is sure whether he knows his stuff or not?
