Retro Viper really needed painted goggles. That's a big miss. The Viper is a cursed Classified army builder. The first version was extremely rare and had poorly made, unpainted goggles. But it had a great paint job. The three pack was overpriced with dull colors and now is heavily discounted. But it had painted goggles. And now the retro is likely to have the best colors and be widely available . . . but the goggles and gun suck.

With Cobra Commander and the Retro Trooper in hand, I find myself kind of checked out on Classified anyway. It's nice to see they are making what is widely regarded as the worst ARAH figure, though.

what is the worst ARAH figure? I'm genuinely curious because I've only just started knowing GI Joe

So Biker Mice from Mars are at Walmart. I believe some of their sectars are going that way too. Not everything is showing up. But they do seem to be testing the market.

I saw BMfM, Sectaurs, Great Garloo & Robo-Force at one of the local WMs last weekend. All in the specialty section in the Electronics Dept. Plus Barnyard Commandos.

Does Nacelle Company even sell their products on the shelves of mass market retailers like Walmart and Target and the like? Genuinely asking. Because if this line is only going to be available at places like Big Bad Toy Store, Entertainment Earth, Nerdzoic, etc, I think it will do just fine appealing to the Star Trek fan base instead of throwing in Kirk or Picard right away for casual consumers.

On the mcfarlane front, I'm optimistic about powergirl. Tempest... I get the feeling I'm gonna want the platinum repaint

KC Supes

That's not Kingdom Come Superman, that Superman is based on the Max Fleischer cartoons

Wow, there's so much good stuff in that McFarlane panel. I hate on McFarlane a lot, but I'll give them credit that they're making stuff that I want to spend money on.

Orion, Wildcat, Aqualad, Red Swamp Thing, Kong, Geo-Force, Power Girl w/ Streaky, Guy Gardner, Captain Cold, Flashpoint Batman and Zoom, B&R Batmobile, the Murray Franklin stage, Brzrkr?!?! Those are all buys for me!

The BTAS Bruce Wayne B-A-F Wave finally gets a release in 2025. The Bruce Wayne figure has been definitely tweaked & the suit has changed colors to a dark brown. The head sculpt has been changed as well. As suspected, the original figure had not received approval by DC/WB licensing. They didn't like the figure, so McFarlane redid it to their specifics.

Frankly, I think it's important that these figures resemble what the characters looked like in the BTAS series. The three previous B-A-F figures; Condiment King, Lock-Up, & Maxie Zeus, look like they've been lifted directly from the show. I do hope we see this line continue with more villains that have never been made, like Hugo Strange, Clock King, & Red Claw.

Ensign Robin Lefler...)

If they make a Robin Lefler in her duty uniform . . . greatest action figure line ever.

Really glad folks are getting another shot at mindbender. Gives me hipe for a serpentor someday. Liking the retro line choices lately.

I like most of the Joe's presented, specially the retros...???

Definitely want that Batman/Kong. But if that's based on the comic series, Batman should be about an inch tall for correct scale.

It comes with a page punchers sized Batman so you can also have them be properly scaled.

That BAF Darkseid would be nice to put together (that Orion would match) all four look good even if they are not new, except Superman, his legs look like the Superman from Crisis on Infinite Earths but his upper body is not. So he looks like he's brand new, if so he looks really good except for the paint job, it's really weird (maybe you can get it off with a paint remover). The batmobile is good too but it needs a cloth caped Clooney. Power Girl & her companions look good too although these are 3D designs, we'll see what the finished figures look like.
