I cheated and did a Top 5 for the Joes and a Top 5 for Cobra:

Joes:

1. Mutt & Junkyard
2. Wild Bill w/Dragonfly
3. Clutch w/VAMP
4. Airborne
5. Retro Scarlett

Cobra:

1. Nemesis Immortal
2. Road Pig & Rawkus
3. Torch
4. Retro Cobra Commander
5. Shadow Tracker (I didn't get him until early in January)

After a month of this thread being dead, it's nice to see some discussion in here again.

The year is almost over. Anyone want to share their Top 5 Classified figures for 2024?

Best?

Clutch with VAMP. Easily IMHO. So much potential everywhere with that.

In general, I was impressed with the creativity of the more arcane deluxes. Like Raptor and Road Pig. Those were IMHO, not that great of concepts as kids, but the design team managed to fusion some modern practicality and interesting aesthetics to it. The fear factor is I don't think they sell that well, and it doesn't bode well for the line when the deluxes don't sell well. I think when you make a deluxe out of a Snow Serpent, Snow Job and figures of that nature, then you get a lot of interest. But not the arcane subject matter. I just hope Classified last long enough so we might see some Pursuit of Cobra or 25th Anniversary kind of concepts. Some of those 4 inch Joes back in 2010-ish, those were rocking. Some of those were really incredible and creative. Like the 4 inch Dusty with the little barbed wire roll and alternate masked head, that was so cool and would be a great Classified concept. Or Shipwreck with the black beanie and plate carrier. Stuff like that. Or the Cobra Shock Trooper, which was kind of a blend of a law enforcement/crowd control/night ops/army builder kind of figure.

I'd like to see more of the core material made first. I'd like to see Zap, Deep Six, Sci Fi and Musk Rat made before Crystal Ball for example.
