So...what happening in Classified?
GI Joe Day happened, on the same day as a Star Wars livestream. During the course of the day Hasbro revealed digital renders for Snow Job, Scrap Iron, a Steel Corps (Brigade) 2 pack and the Tele-Viper with Trouble Bubble. Needless to say they all looked amazing!!!!! Snow Job comes with two heads and a ton of accessories. Scarp Iron comes with a missile launcher similar to his original, but it is mounted on treads this time like a mini tank/PAC-Rat. It also has a ton of blast effect pieces to really make it a display piece. The Steel Corps two pack is a nice update to the old school Steel Brigade figure, and this time we get one male and one female figure. They also come with a ton of accessories and JUMP jetpacks!!! The Tele-Viper looks like the original ARAH version with some minor tweaks. However it comes with 3 heads!!! 1 Black, 1 White and 1 sealed face mask. The Trouble Bubble look like they took the original and upscaled it for 6" and added some more detailing.. The only thing it seems to be missing is the mine.
The latest wave (Cover Girl, Falcon, Crimson BAT, Mad Marauders BBQ and regular Outback) is starting to trickle out. If you want a laugh, or cry depending on how much you care about Falcon and Cover Girl, then check out the in-hand pics. Both of them, but especially Falcon, look terrible compared to the digital render reveals. They should start showing up in Canada relatively soon.
There was supposed to be a Joe livestream on Valentine's Day, but it got pushed back to March 8th for some reason. So that is coming up soon, and it should include a lot of in hand reveals of figures that so far are only digital renders, along with new digital render reveals and more "pipeline" reveals of figures that probably won't show up until 2024.
