Re: G.I. Joe Classified Series 6 inch discussion

It's a good figure but not worth the inflated price as far as i'm concerned. I get paying more for a figure that comes with an animal or motorcycle, but i could care less about extra hands or a tiny mini fig that are just gonna stay in the box.

Mattel WWE Elite Slaughter's don't cost $50 and neither should this. It's just Hasbro price gouging.

I don't get why Hasbro went with such small legs on Slaughter. It looks like he was based off a Bruce Timm sketch. Too stylized.

That's a good point. Hasbro definitely charge a premium for their licenses just in general.

The price point on Slaughter has kept me saying naahhh, since I already have the Action Force Slaughter, but seeing the figure keeps me thinking do I need this one, I like the Action Force figure but ugh it's hard , 50 bucks for a fairly not deluxe enough figure is kinda a tough buy.

Re: G.I. Joe Classified Series 6 inch discussion

My retro CG arrived. I use him as an officer. Here's some pics of him with my regular CGs so you can see the differences.







Not sure if I want to put the sword on their belts or on the backpack. Thinking of belt for the retro and backpack for the regulars. Here's both configurations.

Hmmm, I definitely prefer the colors on the regular CG. The retro CG looks a bit too orange-red for my tastes. I wonder which one more closely matches the original vintage figure? My guess is the standard CG.

The standard one I think matches better but the original did have a red backpack.

The silver faceplate matches a version they did in the 25th line and the sword is from the Retaliation version. Sk they got aspects from all versions.
