    I personally like the looks of Retro Papa, Smurffet, and Gargamel being Retro versions of Duke, Scarlett, and Cobra Commander.

    That's an excellent call. The tooling mostly exists and Haslab Retro Cobra Commander should ship in maybe five or six months.

    I couldn’t bring myself to open the figures that came with the Skystriker. I got these 2 from Someone on Facebook. One is a cartoon inspired Ace and the Co-pilot is a “not Maverick” figure in place of the Fail safe figure.

    Bludd is pretty pricey at the moment but I'm hoping we'll get a release or I can find one that doesn't break the bank. That roadblock isn't back, only a 10 dollar or so markup, and I do like the look.

    Tomax and Xamot I'm holding off on as I've heard... rumors I can't discuss... that make it worth waiting a bit. For the B.A.T.S. I'm actually waiting to see if they do the B.A.A.T. as that was the only COBRA I owned (yes, my only Joes were B.A.A.T. and Snow Job... and my brother had Space Duke). Gung Ho I will snag the retro next month.

    What's the Valaverse kit you are talking about?


    I'll add that to my watch list as it does look cool!

    If you can find them the Jurassic Park Amber Collection figures would scale well with Classified.

    I've heard rumors of a Crimson 3 Pack for SDCC or some sort. Seen things on YouTube or one of the forums.

    There's a Snake Eyes and Timber on sale in Hasbro's eBay at the moment. Not sure about it myself because despite the accessories, I prefer the paint on Timber from the other set... but this one's a lot cheaper. Hm.

    Also, might anyone give me some tips about affordable backgrounds for Classified? I've not ever been a 6" figure guy and the ToyHax sets seem a little expensive to me. Hopefully they're not the most affordable choice or I might just skimp out on backgrounds.
    Another late joiner because of pet characters. Mine were Spirit, Sgt. Slaughter and Storm Shadow that made me think that I've really been overlooking a fine line of action figures. Gotta say, you've made way more progress than me. I'm still waiting to get paid since I spent all my fun money at Hasbro Pulse. :lol
