And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

I will not be buying that but I do really want it.

If it was 1/12 scale tho, I'd hit preorder so hard.

When it came to placement of explosives, both Joes and Cobra were very problematic.

Especially on their vehicles.

I wouldn't worry, the shelves are bound to be clogged with that toy until it goes on clearance, it has been thus with pretty much every ML exclusive they do.

Shooter is quite the unusual one, her name showed up way back in the original G.I.Joe comic issue one. It was a wink and nod to then EIC Jim Shooter, recently she was fully cannonized by having a story about who she was and what she did.

It'll be up on Hasbro Pulse as well, the last Walmart exclusives did. Granted they do sell out VERY quickly.

Sweet, Shooter finally, and she looks great. Thankfully I don’t have to worry about all that Walmart shite you poor, hapless colonial urchins have to endure.

Don’t care about the zombos or the admittedly nice looking AV repaint though.

There have been toy zombies in GIJoe before, everyone was expecting the Zombie Toxo Viper.

Don't know if any showed up in comic form or not, but toy wise, they've been around for a decade plus by now.




Anyone notice the crimson viper has the biohazzard symbol in his visor?

The way he's shown in one picture makes him look like he's fighting off the zombies.

Guess they're kinda like bats at the end of the day, they can turn on you.

The new figure descriptions go into some storytelling:

quote:

While Cobra headhunts top scientists and researchers from across the globe, less-qualified recruits wind up as Mole Rats, quarriers and miners seeking new energy sources to power Cobra’s war machine. Extracting deposits of volatile Dark Energon has sparked certain troopers to become mindless husks bent on destroying anything in their path.
(See https://www.walmart.com/ip/G-I-Joe-Classified-Series-Mole-Rat-Collectible-G-I-Joe-Action-Figure-6-94/1325039294)

quote:

To consolidate their power within Cobra, the Crimson Strike Team (Tomax, Xamot, and the Baroness) have reassigned their most loyal and ruthlessly brutal troops to the Crimson Alley Viper squadrons. Crimson Alley Vipers were recently sent to quell a strange outbreak among the Mole Rat troopers excavating Dark Energon Mines.
(See https://www.walmart.com/ip/G-I-Joe-Classified-Series-Crimson-Alley-Viper-Collectible-G-I-Joe-Action-Figure-6-91/1722110090)

And that's one more reference to the Crimson Tomax, Xamot, and Baroness set that was rumored to be this year's PulseCon exclusive, and they also show up in a cameo on Chuckles' box art. (Those three were also the main villains of Cobra: The Last Laugh, the excellent IDW story arc that starred Chuckles.)

I'm just not into the Twins in their "circus acrobat" costumes, but if Hasbro uses the same perfect smug sociopath heads and makes them in sharp suits, I'll finally get them.

I feel the same about Destro -- even as a kid, I thought his most iconic outfit was silly and unbecoming for an old money, classy supervillain type. But it helps that MY Destro figure was the 1988 Iron Grenadiers version that came with the Despoiler, and I really hope Classified gets around to that version soon enough.

I always loved the twins costumes as they are so unique, as if to say yeah these guys are higher up on the totem pole in the Cobra organization. Nobility or royalty kind of vibe. They never came off as circus acrobats suits to me, not that I blame you for thinking so due to certain depictions of them.

Only time until Destro comes with his Iron Grenadiers look, might even come with his little flying craft ala Serpentor with his. If that turns out to be the case it'll be an exclusive. 50 50 on that one.

I assume Destro "v2" with the Despoiler would be a future SDCC or PulseCon exclusive, similar to Serpentor with his Air Chariot. In that case, I would turn around and sell the Despoiler, in case someone wanted to have more than one of them. (Someone, somewhere, will.)
