Personally, I don't think he's all that bad. He's lacking the boot cut articulation and can't store all of his weapons, but other than that he's no worse than any of the other figures I've gotten
I completely agree with you, I was just trying to state it a little gentler, you know scalpel instead of an axe.
The missing boot cut really hinders poseability, as does the skirt-belt-thing and the shoulder pads. The hood sits way too high on his head no matter what you do, making him look goofy, and taking it off doesn't do him any favors. He can't store his gear, and since when does a ninja need that much armor? The design choices are beyond baffling. Overall the line is solid. I've been critical of many of hasbro's "modernization" updates like color choices and the gold all over the Joes, but none of them render the figures unacceptable or overshadow the mostly good figures we've gotten in the line, especially the cobras. This is the only one that falls in the "don't bother" category for me. Obviously YMMV, but this figure is the clear dud of Classified so far, a distant last at that.
Yeah, I’ve heard it’s not that good of a figure, and I might have given up on it, but I think the fact that Amazon seems determined to not deliver it has seemed to trigger my OCD, and now I feel like I have to have it. Lol
That baroness has been showing as in inventory for the past two weeks in my local store. For whatever reason when I asked about it today, the associate was able to find it in the back for me. I haven’t seen any others pop up since then. But ymmv. I sincerely wish everyone good luck who is still looking. This whole Cobra Island Target exclusive has been needlessly frustrating. I’m not looking forward to repeating it in two or three months.
Really impatiently waiting for snake supreme and deluxe snake eyes to ship from pulse. I hate waiting
Yeah, waiting on my deluxe Snake-Eyes to ship too. That wait before your figure ships and then the wait for it to arrive always makes me go into OCD mode where I'm constantly checking my emails and watching the tracking info after it's shipped.
My hope for next time is since there are half as many exclusives Target will order twice as many of each. It’s a fools dream.
Hey folks - I’ve been lurking for a couple months now but figured I better create an account and see if I can help you guys out the way you have unknowingly been helping me! Meaning - I wouldn’t have thought to look at Walgreens for Classified figs and then got lucky and found a couple retro HISS Tanks at Wally very early on too, after seeing some of you finding them. So once I establish myself a little bit here I’d like to give back too - I have a couple extra CoCo’s, Gung Ho’s, and Beach Heads that I only purchased extras of because, like some of you, I can’t stop myself lol!! And unlike many of you, I STILL haven’t found a Baroness Target set and don’t have that Snake-Eyes exclusive with the sweet packaging.
