G.I. Joe: Classified 6" figures

[Ramman81]

I'll be done Classified once we get Flash, Monkeywrench, Crystal Ball, Snow Cat w Frostbite, Thunder Machine w Thrasher (and maybe Skystriker w Ace)... to go with the announced Blowtorch, Law and order, Footloose.... and then the pre-ordered Zandar, Leatherneck, Dial-tone. I don't think I need anymore after that and will have a complete collection for 82-87

I don’t think the new Pulse site it doing processing soon notices like the old version. Any of the new orders I’ve placed since the new site went live haven’t given me the warning. I still will get them from lingering orders from the old version though. Can’t say I’m a fan of that lack of notice and I’m betting they changed that on purpose to avoid cancellations.

Yeah I'm just going to have to get use to it, just not convenient for customers. It appears Walmart might be doing the same, my Falcon/Quarrel set is at "preparing" now.

I got Star Duster today, really nice figure! The knee joints are too stiff even after heating up, his neck joint won't allow him to look up for flying poses, and the plastic holding the accessories is a pain trying to free them without damage. But the figure looks great and the weapons are nice and stiff. I almost overlooked the perforated pop out cereal box on the cardboard insert backdrop. I love that they included it but, it's awfully cheap of them to just give us one. That backdrop piece is large enough to give us 10 cereal boxes and it would cost them nothing more, but we only get the one.

I love the left "holding" hand they gave to Duke/Duster but it just doesn't look right when griping a weapon foregrip, so I tried heating, shaping, and cooling the hand to improve the way the hand grips and it works great! I recommend doing the same.

Personally, I’m relieved I’m probably close to 80% complete with my Classified collection. There’s some heavy hitters still out there and some first time figures I’ll have to pick up. I know they’re gonna continue with the repaints, prepaints and updates to existing Classified figures. All of the major troop builders are complete for me, just waiting on the Iron Grenadiers. They’ll be other troop builders I’ll grab 1 or 2 if they’re cool.
I’ll never not collect Classified but I see it really slowing down for me in the next few years, not counting vehicles and HasLabs.
It’s, by far, my favorite collection as an adult collector.

Mostly agree, nearly done with it myself from a FIGURE standpoint. Only thing I wonder is what all will be in the HasLabs and what all will be offered as non-HasLab vehicle sets. Those for me are the only X-Factors.
