Uh, I believe you mean Profit Director Destro. The fact that they share initials is a total coincidence!

I really hate how much I love the burning cash accessory.

Among the reveals I think I still like Cobra Commander the best, even though we knew about him already. The Red Ninja looks a bit weird and I prefer a non-arctic Storm Shadow.

Yeah, I think they're doing some fun stuff with the Classified series. It's not really my fandom, but I like looking at them.

Also, lurking a bit on the HissTank boards? It makes me so grateful for how awesome the TokuNation community is. The toxicity over there... I don't know why you'd make a board for people who hate GIJoe fans, but at least it's fairly active? I guess?

Oof. I took a peak out of curiosity and yeeeeaaahh let's not.

I guess I should take honor in that I'm probably the most annoying member on this board then, haha!

Jokes aside, the Classified series are some really impressive figures. The Snake Eyes body is basically 99% what the base mold should be for alot of their figures going forward. I'd really only change like, 2 things about it.

That said, I didn't grow up on GI Joe, and I don't have the space to collect figures of characters I'm not especially attached to. But if I did... yeah, I'd totally grab Snake Eyes and Storm Shroud.

Talking of recent toys - and I'm only asking here bc I can't find a thread for it - I was browing HLJ and found this. Is this like, comparable to the KR gimmick figures of old? SHF size but not as detailed or articulated, but still a really good figure of the same size for a much cheaper price? Because I might be interested, I just need to know the scale!

That's pretty much what these are, yes. I think they are around the same size too, like 150mm? So a bit bigger than SHF's.

... welp, time to make room in my budget!

Mildly annoyed because I lost the auction for a Gattack Zector by 52 yen (My sniper bid was 3500 final bid was 3552)

Well-

Basically

Oh no, that's a big part of it- and secured mine on Pulse earlier. But this is seriously the most excited I've been for Joe stuff since Pursuit of Cobra. Unfortunately all my favorites are vehicle drivers so I'm unlikely to ever get Classified versions of them, but ah well.

Oh the stories I could tell. Me and Phantom Stranger are refugees from that board/fandom and it is... SO MUCH WORSE than you think.

My knowledge of GI Joe has doubled in the last 24 hours and it's purely due to Profit Daddy Destro up there.
