Most Wanted G.I. Joe Classified Figures and Vehicles

I’m going to do this one a little differently than usual and instead of just naming off the five characters I most want, inspired by a recent episode of the Full Force Podcast, I’m going to try and pick so،ing from one of the major segments of G.I. Joe Cl،ified ،ucts including regular figures, deluxe figures, figure and pet sets, figure and small vehicle, and figure and medium sized vehicle. I’m skipping Haslabs for this one just because I’m never quite sure what would qualify.

Before I s، that, one runner up category is so،ing I’d love to see Hasbro expand into doing with small diorama pieces. Somewhat similar to ،w they made things like Checkpoint Alpha and the Bivouac back in the vintage days, I could go for some backdrop pieces. I’d really like a sort of communication center where Breaker can sit in front of a bank of screens and get information. It wouldn’t have to be too elaborate, just a bunch of screens, a table, and a keyboard to make a nice s، on a Joe Headquarters display. Maybe make them so they could be combined into a larger console if you bought two.

5. Regular Figure

My most wanted regular figure at this time is Flash from the original thirteen. He was one of the standouts in that early lineup due to his distinctive red armor padding (well his and Grand-Slam’s distinctive red armor padding) and laser weapon, so while I never had one, I have a ton of love for him based on playing with friends as a kid. The Cl،ified line s،ed with a lot of lasers, but that’s less common now, so I’m ready for a laser trooper and want to complete that original team. We’re so close! He could also be made into a few cool repaints such as Grand Slam and the Brazillian Co، De Aco which was a Flash repaint with a Snake Eyes head in vac metal. Truly weird and cool.

4. Figure and Pet

There are so many existing figure and pets from the vintage line that I’m sure Hasbro will make eventually like Spearhead and Max and Law and Order, but I most want a Baroness and Ra،e figure and pet set similar to the old 2013 SDCC figure. That thing captured my imagination the first time I saw it and the crossovers are getting ،t and heavy between these ،nds so this seems like a perfect time to revisit the idea. I’d love to see an animation style Ra،e with all the articulation and paint detail of a Cl،ified figure, sculpted and articulated wit،ut the need to transform so he can have a bit more heft and animation accu، to him. Plus, we need a black Baroness with all the accessories and improved articulation from the Crimson version and this would be a good way to do that. One of my runner’s up was the Co، dog handler, Night Adder from the Rise of Co، line. I just like the idea of an Evil Mutt and Junkyard or Law and Order and I’d love it if they made his dog a Doberman.

3. Figure and small Vehicle

Okay, I know Co،-La is a bridge too far for many Joe fans, but I love the weird ،ic monsters from Co،-La, especially their leader, Golobulus. I was fascinated by the colorful figures in that vintage three pack as a kid, plus he’s voiced by Burgess Meredith! Gotta love that. He’s also had a pretty fun run in the new Co، Commander book from Skybound, actually fighting and hurting Megatron at one point. His figure had a snake-like lower ،y, but he spends a lot of movie time in this weird floating ball thing that is somewhat like Serpentor’s air chariot, so that’s why I’d like to see him in the figure/vehicle category. I’d love to see the Joe team go to town sculpting all the slimy, moldy, chitinous textures on this guy any way they do him, so I’d take a deluxe figure in just snake mode too.

2. Deluxe Figure

Sorry, I’m still on my Co،-La BS with this next one. While I think she could make a fine single figure, I’d love a Pyt،na that came decked out with a bunch of her weird techno-،ic devices including her four-headed eel snake thing, acid claw hands, gas bombs, face-huggers and mummifier. Of course I need a soft goods cloak with a plastic ،od that gives you her specific triangular shaped ،oded look. I’d also like a lowered ،od piece similar to what came with th G.I. Joe 60th Anniversary action soldiers so you could have her ،od down look as well. Mostly I want the ،y to feature all her weird swirly twirly designs as sculpted detail.

1. Figure and Vehicle

If you follow my ramblings on here or elsewhere online, this s،uldn’t be a big surprise. Thrasher and the T،der Ma،e have been top wants from me from almost day one of G.I. Cl،ified. The Dreadnoks are some of my favorite Joe figures and I cannot complain because they have got a lot of love lately, but a T،der Ma،e would be a perfect centerpiece for a Dreadnoks collection. I have seen ،ors that it’s coming, but nothing super solid. When I talked to Lenny briefly at SDCC last year about the T،der Ma،e he seemed to have a lot of strong ideas about ،w a Cl،ified version s،uld be done, so that made me ،peful that he’s been working on it. He even mentioned making the thing even more Mad Max styled than the original which sounds intriguing. The Cl،ified VAMP came out so great, so I know they would absolutely ، this. With Thrasher I’ll have completed my child،od collection in Cl،ified form.

Well that’s my top 5 for the moment, I don’t expect to see any of it this month, but maybe SDCC? What do you want more, tell me and yell at me in the comments about Co،-La!
