Interested to hear from others,
My opinion so far - #35 Storm shadow for Cobra, and #46 Stalker for the Joes.
The newer style pinless figures are really impressive, and these two figures I feel offer the best bang for the $ when accessories are included.
Of course if I could find a Crimson guard, I might have to change my mind.
Honorable mentions - the BAT V1 figure and Zartan.

As for GI Joe, I love Outback. Speaking about accessories, he got a lot. And the details on is face are perfect. Spirit is easily my second choice. Falcon could be in my Top 3, but I don't like his face. Even if many SE were done so far, I don't think the perfect SE was made yet.
As for Cobra, I really like Hasbro making 2 different troopers so far. So we can army build without having the same fig again and again. And yes, the BATs look very cool too.
-
I totally agree on the Snake Eyes - I have yet to purchase one, as they haven't been what I am looking for in that character.
-
i thought the SE with timber (commando version) looked pretty sweet. I've actually been quite impressed overall for most of the figures despite owning none of them. For him i was super tempted, but then remembered I still needed both my arms and legs and decided not too.
-
Coin flip between Storm Shadow and TF Outback.
-
I was able to pre-order the Crimson Guard on Amazon.ca. Hopefully my order won't be cancelled. The CG looks very good.
-
My faves are Flint and Lady Jaye, but that being said I haven't gotten anything since I found a SE Movie Storm Shadow for $15 awhile back. I'd like to get Stalker and I'm disappointed I missed out on Breaker and the RAM. They sold out so quickly in Ottawa, I didn't end up getting one. Now that I'm down east the selection is quite slim. I was buying from DJC Collectibles so I may go back to him again for my future purchases.

I jumped in late in the Classified line. At first, I wasn't really interested by a new scale. But some figs look very good. Now, space is becoming an issue. Since I'm a long time collector, I already have what I wanted in the o-ring style.
But the 6 in gives us more details. So I am hand picking the ones I like the most.
Recently, I got the 02-Snake Eyes. I was so happy to find out I got the variant that has no loose torso and a knife holster that can store the knife like it should. I feel sorry for the collectors that got the first 02 release with these issue.
-
My current favourite is the Retro Gung-Ho. When they released the regular retail version I was disappointed by the green jacket and incorrect hat/head. The Retro version got him back in his 80s colours with a new (correct) hat and head.
I love the BAT and Alley-Viper, Storm Shadow, Spirit, the Twins, CROC MASTER!!!......hell I like most of the line. The classic looks with modern tweaks are really great.
