They are milking the RAM to death. I guess there's historical precendet for this, but as Funkool's Street Hawk set. But why not the Dreadnok set version? Maybe waiting for the Stinger, so it can be a set like vintage? Who knows? Also, the repaints will start to bury Classified, at the price the figures are, there's more than the casual collector will want to absorb.  What, no bright red parts? And they still have the gall to call this Night Force. Dreadnok repaints will be neat to see. |

Another poorly kept secret. Tiger Paw with Wreckage.   |

I'm losing interest. Just give me Pythona, Hasbro.

Quick Kick now identifies as a caucasian female. Respect his pronouns. YO JANE!
Big Boa is actually Outback's long lost dad. What a twist.
What is that blue thing by his head?

That was funny Bravo!
I like how this THEIF, is willing to abandon Tiger Force Outback and Lady Jaye,
but absolutely has to have Quick Kick and Big Boa.
Thief scalper perhaps?

Well, there's only two are there, types of scalper. I can't afford it or don't want to pay it. Or the reseller. I want to say this is a cheapskate collector, as they left Big Boa's weights and QK's chocolate bar. Still strange for a collector.

The other is the person who wants custom parts.

The other is the person who wants custom parts. Still a collector/adult fan thing. That would explain leaving some accessories behind, though. Many years ago, I'd see bad customs repacked. Never made much sense. One was that 1998 Oktober Guard set, I think. Of course, there is the famous POSSK...  |

Is there someone out there who just gets off ruining Hasbro's reveals by releasing images a few days before their livestreams? Almost obligatory Stinger with not-retro-driver.  Also, not really retro, except for card presentation, Cobra Trooper.  The cartoon SMG seems too small, I guess it was made for the female troopers set first. |

More ruining of Hasbro's live stream tomorrow. Alpine looks okay. Storm Shadow is more embellished, hurting his vintage look IMHO. More gear doesn't always make a better figure. BAT is another gaudy repaint. I guess for the people who care to army build repaints at $25.  And IG, well, "screw vintage" let's to the retro Fascist goon long-coat look from the Modern Era con set. Bah.  |

"Gramps Storm Shadow"
Alpine is good enough. You could swap BAT head with regular BAT and have a toon BAT huh.
Yeah, there was a style to the vintage IG, they were slick and seemed to have ease of movement with their uniform, this just looks like a big brute. #NotMyIGs

They try too hard. Original card art should always be followed when making G.I.JOE figures. Can't beat perfection. Too much grey on Greynadier. Black and gold with red highlights. It seems to me, that the style was a straight rip off from Buck Rogers. They are wearing white pants, but the black, red and gold really pop.  |
