Some random comments.

I'm a little annoyed the Red Diver gets so much gear, but we got two versions of the Cobra EEL that didn't even come with his submachine gun.

Flint and blonde Cover Girl look great, though I could have done without the silly slogan on her hat.

Wasn't a cartoon (red visor) BAT supposed to come with this wave?

Oh some lovely stuff here, very very happy to see a Single realease Breaker and Tele-viper, I was waiting for that, since I passed on them with Vehicles beause I don't do Vehicles, nice my long game played out !

Slice & Dice, Darklon, S.N.A.K.E. Armor are all must haves for me.

Retro Covergirl is a buy, love that, although she doesn't fit my collecting criteria, she will be a stand alone buy, the other retros are easy passes, the Diver 2 pack while looking really fun in nice bright colors will be a pass, I already have enough divers.

I think I'm headed in opposite direction....I'm tired of buying Classified versions for Retro to come out and look 100 times better.  I'll just wait now and get retro versions of main characters.

I feel you, I wish I had known in the early days of this line we'd get Retro's of figures, but the reason why I pass on them is because I already have the character and I only collect 1 version of each character and I personally don't have any dislike for the Original releases, sure most of the retros are better and classic but I am not so much of a stickler to update and replace, but for things like Retro Covergirl she gets to go on my Bad ass ladies shelf, just as a stand alone, like currently Retro Scarlett.

In a perfect world I would only have the Retros of characters. But I won't Double up, and I just accept what we already got LOL.

I'm not a big enough fan of Joan Rivers fan to keep that figure.

Ha!  I don't think original Cover Girl is that bad, but I definitely understand.

The Retro have not always been better.  Retro Baroness is worse, for example. I don't think Retro Viper or Retro Crimson Guard are better than the original releases.  Retro Cobra Trooper is so badly made (so loose) that it's hard to argue it's better than the CI Cobra Trooper, except in terms of accessibility.

Some Retros, though, blow the awful original Classified versions away. Cobra Commander (obviously), Scarlett, and Duke come to mind.  

Classified has been a frustrating line to collect. I'm kind of enjoying not buying much of it any more given how often Hasbro delays or plays around with the releases.  But the Retro figures do usually suck me back.

[tycondrius24]

theses look amazing that Snake amrour is defo on my high wants list. my only gripe is I kinda wish Darklon had his evader vehicle

[MrAllMine]

Cool cool cool!! Excited for all of these!!

Well Said...and sure there is a bit to be nitpicked about that face she has, personally Joan Rivers and all..I don't hate it, I kinda forgot it looked like that actually, of course this Retro one is far better,  I guess what matters is they are giving us Options!

thank god we got a better head for Scott Tracy..from the Thunder....I mean Falcon.

[Sosocaltech]

Um…that A.W.E. Striker looks awful! I figured we’d be getting one, and was looking forward to it, but that…that looks like garbage lol. What’s up with those tiny front wheels?? I hope the final product doesn’t look like that. Or that Gridiron Props creates some aftermarket improvements! Woof.

[ransomz]

These all look great. I was hoping for a Thunder Machine reveal though. Hopefully soon.

[Roadpigmaster]

Man, they look fantastic... Wow for the SNAKE Robot!

Father time will be your friend but you know tomorrow's are not guaranteed in life... There's always ebay to sell the classified figures you no longer want man.

I actually like a lot this Covergirl withe cap head  sculpt... I will certainly display her in my collection like that.

[GnarlyCharlie85]

Me myself I am getting burnt out on classified. They don't have too much more I want from them. And yea I'd rather have retro versions than updated classified versions of figures. Wish slice could of had his fencing mask, only really want the two retro figures. I've been collecting this line since the beginning and they just don't get my juices going like my legends do anymore. Just my opinion.

[ucsf]

There are some good bits, bit the muted colors are really not helping to be honest. The AWE striker front looks a bit cheap, but Cover Girl, the ninjas and even Darklon looks nice but I really miss the original color palette. The Snake Armor is huge, and looks a lot more like the RORC versions. Anyways, it's good to see them even in renders!

Unfortunately I don't use eBay for selling because I ain't giving those a-holes my account info.

I don't want there hands anywhere near my bank accounts.  Just a personal thing.  When they stopping letting me take paypal I just stopped selling on there. 

[Nosferatuman62172]

Flint looks awsome. I wonder if you can fit a figure in the snake armor.

[Admiralty_Entertainment]

So... do Tele-Vipers read backwards or are the words on their visors meant for other people to read?

Flint looks very cool but I do wonder why they've never recreated his original weapon properly in any of the subsequent iterations of the line. Dulls my interest there a bit.

Cover Girl looks great. As a comic Joe fan, I have no connection to the blonde version, so I'm going to use her as a different character entirely to pad out the ranks. Just wondering if I should dub her Sparta or come up with an original character entirely...

I'm going to donate the sub-machine gun from the diver to their Eel superiors. Generic troopers shouldn't have better loadouts than their named-trooper counterparts in my view.

That A.W.E. Stalker with Crankcase to me looks nice, as I like that it seems to be a 3 seater.  May consider it, or wait and see what interesting possible repaints could come down the road(If a Tiger Force inspired repaint happens, I'll have to consider it.  For me, it seems like most of the versions of 6" Joes I'm interested in are mostly from the Tiger Force subline).  Like how Crankcase comes with a Coffee Tumbler/Mug of sorts.

 

I'm curious if the SNAKE Armour will be able to hold a 6" figure inside it, or if it will not and be more like a SNAKE Robot?  If it's really huge, more like a Mech Suit that a figure can sit in, since this Snake Armour looks like it will have articulated legs, knees, and such.

 

Interesting that Blonde Hair Cover Girl is getting some focus recently.  1st with the Super7 ReAction+ approx 4" line, and now the 6" Classified Retro line.

In regards to your Cover Girl comment of using the Blonde 1 as different character, it also helps that the clothing colours between the 2 are different as well, since the Red Head has a Brown Jacket and a darker shade of tan pants, while the Blonde has over all Tan look to her clothing(Maybe a slight difference in shades, but not too distinct).

Otherwise, all the upcoming releases look nice.

She looks to be nearly an entire new figure - the torso seems to be the only section that might be reused from the first version based on the render (maybe the biceps, but even then I'm not sure), so that's sure going to make it easier to view her as someone entirely different.

Shown below via Jeremy on Social Media is an in-hand look at the new G.I. Joe Classified Retro Series Cover Girl Figure from Hasbro. This figure was revealed over the weekend for G.I. Joe Day with many others and has not gone up for pre-order yet.
