Big s Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 1 hour ago, Mog said: Yes, the Steel Brigade figure was a mail away. But I don’t recall him ever including the jetpack. Not even with the 25th Anniversary figure they released awhile back. I had one as a kid and couldn’t even remember the name. I do remember a long wait and being super excited when it came. I think that one had a custom some like name card maybe. I remember the figure and remember waiting a long time for delivery, but the rest is a bit fuzzy. I think it came with a basic backpack, but not a jet pack, but maybe I’m wrong Quote
Mog Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) Never got the O-ring version. YoJoe.com may have info, but I suspect those figures had the Duke/Airborne backpack. The 25th/30th version had two backpack options: a green Duke backpack and a tan Zap bazooka rounds backpack. Those later figures from the line were loaded with a crapload of weapons and accessories. Lastly, traditionally, the jetpack has been associated with Grand Slam or with Stalker. But never with the Steel Brigade figures. Edited February 2, 2023 by Mog Quote
Big s Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 I was just checking after getting the name here. Yeah, the old one didn’t have a jet pack .I remember the name was customizable, but I guess the branch as well. And never knew that would be a slight factor in how the toy actually looked depending on the release. It seems there were a few variations using different parts. Quote
sh9000 Posted February 3, 2023 Author Posted February 3, 2023 Agreed @M'Kyuun on the video and the Skystriker toy. It was a fun watch and I wish I bought more than 1 Haslab Skystriker. Recently opened a few of my spare Classified figures. I have a long way to go with opening troop builders, individual characters, and even my spare Serpentor. Opened up a Crimson Guard, Zarana, and Python Patrol Trooper. All I got to say is that I still love this line and am all in. Quote

Such incredible looking figs, and now with some of the vehicles coming back- just a great line. Heck, the 80s vehicle toys were so well done they could just do straight reissues, if the molds still exist, that is. Quote

Axelay Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 Every single one of those is a must-have. Wow. The only nitpick is that Low Light's gun seems a bit on the small side. Good thing that Gridiron just dropped their big honkin' M82 Barrett. Quote

danth Posted March 10, 2023 Posted March 10, 2023 If the Classified series had looked this good from the get go my wallet may have suffered. It looks like they got rid of most of the mall-ninja crap (I hated the random bits of metal armor on the first waves) and pointless textures and nonsense seam lines everywhere. Although has the person responsible for that been thoroughly beaten yet? I don't like loose ends. Most guns even have actual barrels now. Nice! Quote

danth Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Finally got my Super 7 Snake Eyes! I would say I'm "whelmed". No surprises, looks exactly like the pictures. Which is good because the pictures looked great and the figure does too. The poseability isn't spectacular but it's fine. Nothing double jointed, no kneeling poses or anything. Basically what you would expect. I definitely can't justify the price. If it were more reasonable I'd be down for, well, the whole line maybe. Maybe I'll pick up a few more if they go on sale. Definitely in for a V2 Snake Eyes if it happens. Edited March 15, 2023 by danth Quote

sh9000 Posted May 1, 2023 Author Posted May 1, 2023 HISS Tank packaging art. Looks good. Can't wait to receive my 2. Quote
Roy Focker Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 FYI Super 7 dropped the ball with wave 2. Heads and forearms are now unpainted plastic which doesn't match the parts with paint skin. Nor do they match Duke from wave 1 who has all his skin painted. People are canceling orders including me. Who really like wave 1. Quote

Why bother with a figure that has less articulation and worse paint aps than the original figures they are based on? Quote

Hasbro kinda did a weird thing by trying to modernize the design and honestly they’re awkwardly bad at faces. Quote
sh9000 Posted May 12, 2023 Author Posted May 12, 2023 Based on Hasbro's posts there will be a Joe vehicle to go up against the HISS. Quote

David Hingtgen Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 Got my Retro Zartan, so gonna sell my SDCC one. (I'm painting my retro one to look just a BIT more like the SDCC one----a few silver accents here and there, to make the coloring not so "each part is just one solid color") Quote

sh9000 Posted May 15, 2023 Author Posted May 15, 2023 Haven't ordered any Ultimates for my collection yet. I might just order only Duke and Cobra Commander to represent the line. Quote
derex3592 Posted May 16, 2023 Posted May 16, 2023 I really wanted Storm Shadow and a Cobra Trooper of two, maybe the Baroness in black. Always liked the bad guys better! Quote
