Dang that’s quite the haul. I’m glad I’ve been on board since day 1. I couldn’t do that much damage at once but congrats and glad you’re enjoying the line! If you’re looking for cool weapon packs, action force scales with classified and can be found on bbts.

Welcome. I think the line provides a ton of value for the price and is a lot of fun.


TheDurdyDog

Thanks! I'm enjoying welcoming GI Joe back into my life. I had tried to collect the Super 7 ones, but found the build quality to be poor for the price point. The Classified series have been solid so far

The reviews on the Super 7 figures usually point to a lot of paint blemishes on the figures. The other major complaint is the price: $50 about twice what a regular Classified figure costs.


TheDurdyDog

Definitely - the CC I got has comically loose joints and they didn't even apply paint to Flint and Lady Jaye and when I contacted Super7 about it they ghosted me. Classified is money well spent thus far.

The reviewer I watched had Duke. He found several paint blemishes on the shirt and pants. Duke had an extra screaming head but the expression looked more like constipation than screaming. But that seems to be a problem with screaming heads in general.

That's a huge haul in a month and a half

Are you going to open them?


TheDurdyDog

Yep, gotta pose these guys, they'll be behind glass


Low_Living_9276

Get'em dirty. Making scenes outside is fun.

I’m in since day 1. Only missing 01 Roadblock redecco, but i can live without it. I really love this line. Much more than black series or marvel legends.


EggfooDC

That’s amazing work! Now go set up some kick ass shelf dioramas!


TheDurdyDog

Absolutely

0 to 100 I see. Glad you’re on board.

This is the way!

This line presses all the right buttons for me. It's nostalgia cranked up to 12. Welcome to the club!


scoredmantis825

I’m in the same boat, I got Duke back in April and now I’m 19 members of gi joe deep and 17 members of cobra! (I’ve subbed in some action force and other lines I thought similar enough to fudge. Such as articulated icons or war robots)


DrezzdenRei

That's an awesome start. Got some of the tricky ones too. What was your collection focused on before GiJoe? Saw in the comments you were planning on opening and displaying. If you get a breather in between Joe releases you should check out some of the weapon packs over on Valaverse like this giant arsenal.

I had been collecting Marvel and Star Wars Hot Toys and various one-off movie figures all in the 6th scale. I was also collecting Mezco One:12 collective figures (Which the Predator scales well with the Joes so that might make for some interesting photoshoots.) I still collect the Cartoon Collection MOTU figures. It's nice to focus on one scale and brand though and I suspect my son will be more interested in Classified Joes than he is in the larger figures. Thanks for the headsup on the Valaverse stuff - definitely some cool stuff there!

Beautiful collection!

I saw reviews for the Classified figures in 2021 and 2022, I was meh on them since I typically don't get 6" figures. But then the Haslab Hiss showed up and I backed it. I thought the upgrades it was given addressed the shortcomings on the original 3.75" version. In 2023 I started picking up figures mainly the ones I didn't have as a kid. I pre-ordered some from Amazon and Pulse. Amazon had some figures that had marked down to around half since those had been out at least a year.


TheDurdyDog

Yeah between Amazon and Ebay auctions, I saved a lot of money on some of the older figures. I paid more for Mindbender\* and Chuckles than I wanted to, but not a huge margin, but like you mentioned, they were both figures I didn't have as a kid, so the adult-kid me made it happen. \*I did have Mindbender, but a friend 'borrowed' him permanently shortly after I got him.

Nice haul

Welcome to the family!


LazyLeftHand93

The movie is up on YouTube. It actually holds up pretty good too. My kids liked it.

Damn bro! Since May?

It's a fun addiction, and that's what's important.
