    Short explanation: I write a crossover fanverse on another message board, and part of it has Zarana and Mainframe marrying and adopting Zanya as their daughter after Zartan and Zandar are killed by the Insecticons. Here Zanya is picking out a birthday present from 'Aunt Carol' and 'Uncle Blaine'. :D

    According to the description, this is scaled to fit the Furai model kits for Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. A quick search on BBTS and it shows the Furai SE model stands at about 5-1/4" ht. If Classified SE is right around 6", he may be a little bit too big for this AWE Striker.

    This is why I like how the ab crunch and ball jointed waist(instead of a mere swivel) are standardized on GI Joe Classified figures. The ball jointed waist provides movement similar to the 3.75 o ring Joes.

    I vaguely remember this game and must have played it. It looks like a reskin of Space Harrier, which is one of my favorite arcade games of all time.

    Konami released the Contra Anniversary Collection 2 years ago for current (as of 2019) home consoles. It contains old school console versions, old school portable console versions, and old school arcade versions of their titles. It was well received by consumers.

    This year Konami will be doing the same thing with their TMNT arcade/console titles which is anticipated to be another mega hit.

    If Konami continues with this path, we may see them hopefully port their arcade-only hits into a collection for current gen consoles. Those titles would include: The Simpsons The Arcade Game, X-Men The Arcade Game (based on 1992's Sunbow/MP Pryde of The X-Men pilot episode), and GI Joe The Arcade Game.

    I would be skeptical about that maybe a couple years ago, but a couple of those licensed games have officially been making the rounds in those Arcade 1up Machines, so might be a better chance than I'd think.

    For anyone with some of the newer Black Major figures, what stands do you use? I'm referring to the superhero Snake Eyes or the newer Cobra Troopers. The pegs on the vintage-style stands I have are too large for them, but the few modern style ones I have aren't big enough.
