Man, they all look really good, Felix.
I ain't gonna lie, I loved the Thunderkittens more than the adults on the team. Wilykit kind of reminded me of Jubilee from X-Men.

Thanks!!
I like the Thunderkittens more too :-)
He-Man and G.I.JOE, even Star Wars was always adults doing stuff, never kids.
Which is why Dungeons & Dragons, and Xaviers "School of Gifted Youngsters" are so brilliant.

Nothing too important in this comic order... think all are 2 dollar comics or less. But filling in some gaps here and there.

One of my favorite things about the X-men is the yellow and blue uniforms :-)

Snake Eyes w/Timber Barbecue then the movie figures: Henry Golding cosplaying as Snake Eyes Yellow Milk Storm Shadow Not half Bad Scarlett Short hair Baroness and some girl never in the mythos before I guess this might motivate me to finally watch Snake Eyes movie which looks like a complete miss on all levels. LOL I have no idea where to put all these figs, much less boxes. LOL

Nice haul!!!
I try to open everything, saves so much space, I also just hate boxes.
Snake Eyes with Timber!
Barbecue looks really good, I think the best Classified figure yet.

Quick thoughts: Commando Snake Eyes looks great. Sometimes ninja snake eyes falls into that Spider-Man slime built, but this figure looks like a man who is a bit more a military man with mass.
Movie Snake Eyes is fine... if you leave the mask on. The little knives have no place to go if he's not holding him.
Movie Storm Shadow... ehhh... just reminds me of a larger version of different Rise of Cobra Storm Shadows. Have no idea why they run away from his vintage look so much for something that feels like he'd a a prick in some night club with the coat.
The card art for Aniko has her hands exposed, but the figure is made to look like black gloves. I think having her hands exposed would have worked better. She comes with three weapons, so one has no place to go. Not a bad figure, but hard to really invist in someone who just now showed up in figure form
Movie Baroness... I think she could have used a bit more color contrast. The glasses do stay on as her hair keeps them in place. She can hold all her weapons. I think visually she's better than Rise of Cobra Baroness. But come on, Baroness is not Spanish.
Barbecue is an excellent figure, excellent update on his vintage. I do hope, though, Classified is willing to do some risks (ala Beachhead, Firefly, Lady Jaye, etc) and not just straight updates.

Storm Shadow in the first live action movie was introduced in just a white suit...to me, it felt like a nod to John Woo's film "The Killer".

Someone at Hasbro likes Barbecue, gets modern and Classified figures before most of the 1985 class, in this case before Shipwreck or Dusty. That's whack!

The thing that bugs me most is we don't get an alt unmasked head for Barbecue.

Yeah, Barbecue, Airtight, Wet-Suit, Torpedo, Beachhead all deserve either unmasked head sculpts or removable helmets.

Got a HISS 3 at Walmart. $26...overpriced. But I mean, it's only the second retro collection item I've seen at retail. No pics, bad weather out.
No MOTU Origins...not even pegs for them. Maybe they clearanced out the He-Men and Skeletors and I missed out. Haven't been to that walmart in months.
Lando was the only Star Wars figure, including 6 inchers.
