G.I. Joe Classified  

Ugh. Between Rippers terrible glasses, overall bent weapons out of the box, Wolf Spiders helmet strap that broke on you…..we pay too much for these figures to have these issues. So sorry Wookie! I feel your pain! Glad you got a replacement tho and great review! Also, happy new year!!! Super stoked for your 2024 plans. I’ll be here front row seat with the popcorn!!

I only recently started collecting Classified figs for about a year or so, and I typically only have been buying up all the Cobra main characters for my display shelves (except for Sgt. Slaughter, lol) but I have already seen/heard plenty of horror stories about folks getting busted or defective figures and I dread that. Been lucky so far, aside from the odd frozen joints, a pretty tricky left arm socket on Zarana, or Vypra's bow being a completely useless mangled lump of bendy, soft plastic... but I imagine my days are numbered until when, I too, get excited about a new figure arriving and the dang arm falls off or some crap straight out the box, completely busted. I guess we'll see when Big Boa and/or Metalhead are released in a few months. Bummer, man. C'mon Hasbro.

Oh! And I forgot to mention my Hawks arms are just as bad! And those butterfly joint bangel hoops are rattle-y. He shakes like a baby rattle. And I vote your custom figure should be to create a repro of your childhood Indiana jones with him 😂 maybe put an adventure series head on the body! Last thought, Would your cool baking soda/superglue trick work to create a stronger plastic/peg for that deformed arm post? Maybe a little lube on the ball joint will create less stress too since it will be fragile. Anywho. Just my last thoughts
