    Mine has a white scratch on his head. Can cover it with the helmet but still annoying. Seems like QC went out the door in this mass production.

    I think I'm still going to go with the Valaverse one. Mattel's WWE stuff is 7" scale so this will be too big for Classified.

    I was hoping the Mattel one would match up - but after seeing comparison pics, it is too big.

    The gold does match that pimp CC pretty well, IMO.

    To be fair, if any character could pull off being disproportionately large, Sgt. Slaughter could.

    LOL I dunno who came up with this tagline but it’s so fitting for Walmart:

    “If there’s trouble, I’m there: Walmart is here to deliver on all your favorite action figures!”

    In a horrible twist of fate, Walmart gets their own Classified exclusive line. It will be called GI Joe Continent and it will be even harder to get than Cobra Island! It will have regular Storm Shadow in it too! :D

    No no, in keeping with the Cobra Island naming theme and for the wordplay of it the Wal-Mart exclusive line will be called...

    Joe Archipelago.

    LOL!

    I was actually considering "GI Joe Mainland" but "Mainland" kinda has some iffy connotations for me, haha!

    Nice! Where did you get that toy dog from?

    ...feels like they're trolling..

    ...please don't give Hasbro or Walmart any funny ideas...if you think it hard for US collectors to get the figures, what about international fans like me? I'm paying SHF prices for some of my figures! LOL!

    Man I hope not.

    I don't like the Target exclusives, but Walmart exclusives are even worse.

    Ever since Cobra Island was announced, I've been bracing myself for the eventual Walmart and Walgreens Classified exclusives.

    You go and wash out that filthy mouth right now. We don't use that kind of language in here.
