That Alley Viper is BRIGHT! Whoa. I have always wondered how orange/blue is an appropriate colorway for an urban assault trooper. Because 90s haha I loved Alley Viper because of the colors (orange has been my favorite color since I knew what colors were), but it makes no sense for a trooper unless they're doubling as roadside construction workers.

The Alley Viper and Bat wave has a Gung Ho repaint. The Battle Corps repaint Alley Viper Yellow and Black was pretty cool, heres the link to him on yojoe with how many different ways that hasbro repainted him, some would be awesome in the Classified line. www.yojoe.com/action/89/alleyviper.shtml

That version 11 from 2009 looks like the model for the first Classified release. I really like that blue and grey/white one.

I actually have faith that Hasbro has upped production numbers. I remember panicking over Major Bludd and now we can't get rid of him. So I have faith there'll be enough BATS and Alley Vipers in the pipeline. Still doesn't stop me from being envious seeing these influencers online with an army of BATS already.
What's really grinding my gears is that damn Snake Eyes/Timber from Big bad that STILL isn't being fulfilled....

I've given up on big bad - if things pan out tomorrow morning I'm getting Snake Eyes & Timber off facebook marketplace for cheaper.

BigBad finally got the Snake Eyes Timber pack in for my pre-order, not fully in stock yet though. Scarlett from the Snake Eyes Origns sub line is in stock as well.

What's the best resource for keeping up with the latest news on GI JOE figures? try youtube - theArtistShark is pretty quick 1 min hits on what's coming up, Viper Island is a little longer (Canadian) but equally as informative. On the web I'd hit hisstank

I'm 46. Collected 3.75 as a kid instead of Star Wars, He Man, TMNT, Thundercats, or Transformers. I had SO many! Then I started customizing them and that was a blast. Over the decades they went onward. Never got into any of the rereleases of recent memory. But this new Classified line has my juices flowing! So far I have Gung Ho, Cobra Commander, Destro, Zartan, Firefly, and Cobra Infantry ... with about six more on the way. And holy crap the 2022 line up and beyond looks amazing. Loving it so much I may get some 3.75s again. Was there really anything better than building the vehicles/planes?!?

I wasn't going to collect this line, but I caught an episode of the cartoon one morning last week on some channel and it stirred up some memories. Next thing you know, I have Barbecue on the way from Target and Cobra Commander, Scarlett, Flint, Lady Jaye, and Roadblock on the way from Gamestop due to their 25% off $125 sale that's currently happening. Here's where I am after about a week and a half. I also have Zartan, Destro, Pimp Daddy Destro, another Infantry, two Cobra Island Vipers, Baroness/COIL cycle, and Firefly currently on the way.

I can’t start collecting this line full time. Too many other lines! BUT! I broke down and picked up Lady Jaye and Flint because they were two of the first Joe’s I ever got. If they make Footloose, I’ll pick him up. I’m trying to keep myself from picking up Cobra Commander and Destro…I don’t want to go too far off the rez on these. I really love Flint and Lady Jaye though. Got them together off Walmart for 19.99 for Flint and 17.99 for Jaye and free shipping.

I really love Flint and Lady Jaye though. Got them together off Walmart for 19.99 for Flint and 17.99 for Jaye and free shipping. Best of luck. I went from "I'm not collecting this line at all, I want classic designs" to "I'll grab a few, but I'm collecting too many other lines" to "I almost have a complete collection." It's a heck of a line, and has jumped up to being my #1 non-wrestling line I collect ahead of Star Wars Black and ML. The accessories and mix and match posing options totally brings back the things I loved about the 3.75 figures as a kid, while having a unique enough twist to keep me engaged. I don't know that I'll keep collecting all releases as they get deeper and deeper into the line - I haven't re-watched the cartoon since I was a kid and some characters I have zero recollection of. But I've been surprised how quickly I built up a nice little army.
