I definitely want the female Crimson Guard.  How shocking and fun to get this. But that's the only thing from these reveals I'm even remotely interested in. Classified has really gone off the deep end doing Z-list stuff, and we haven't had a decent Destro or main-line Baroness in years (in fact, the closest thing to a main line Baroness release has been a Walmart exclusive retro card figure that was just the Target exclusive figure with slightly different paint).

This wave includes:
- Retro Cardback Female Crimson Guard
- Retro Cardback Crazylegs
- Retro Cardback Zap

Okay.... yeah im probably getting that crimson guard. Buy does she seem a little brighter than the other crimson figures? Still waiting on a crimson Tele viper.

[Lord_Scareglow]

Ohhh, Crazylegs! and Lady Crimson Guard, those are wants. Zap is such a snooze fest, I am into my passing of Joe figures era (as I never was, must have 1 of ever specific character) but Zap is just so lacking in any shelf presence that I'm hitting the skip button, But I;ll take the other 2.

She's in the Retro colors, which were brighter.

I really do like that Crimson Guard uniform. Not even a huge GI Joe fan but that thing is chef's kiss!

[RecklessEndangerment]

Can't blame Classified, but Zap is reminding me how boring the OG 13's uniforms were.  Also, I wish they hadn't made Crazy Legs mouth permanently wide open just to match the card art.

[ransomz]

Those look great but where's the Thunder Machine?

[Admiralty_Entertainment]

The female CG reveal means we're definitely getting Cadet Demming somewhere down the track, right?

Crazylegs was a given, Zap is good for what he is but kinda confirms why they were right to do the first mainline Rock n' Roll as something a bit different. I'm not holding out for Super Sonic Fighters Zap, but it does make me long for the reinterpretation we had earlier in the Classified line rather than just 'make the old one bigger' that is more prevalent now.

Name reveals are interesting - the rest of the Renegades should be fun, Hydro-Viper has a lot of scope to go nuts and I'm always in favor of bringing Zanya in. Ninja Force Zartan... will be interesting? Not the first choice I would have gone with for a new Zartan, but I suppose outside of an all-new version, he only has so many vintage looks to do.

Only if they can explain why she's wearing a blue CRIMSON guard uniform. 

[BDouble]

Love expanding the classified line with never released figures like the GHOST vipers and female soldiers while making retro figures. Best toy line by miles

Yeah - she's only a *cadet*! Once she graduates to full CG status, then she gets the crimson.

I'm assuming all this - I grew up on the comic and only saw a few episodes of the cartoon here and there so I don't have the context of the actual episode!

The G.I. Joe Classified line has been great for fans of the 1980's 1:18 scale / 3.75 inch figures and cartoon, however, my being an older school casual fan of G.I. Joe, I would love to see 1:12 scale / 6 inch representations of some of the original 1:6 / 12 inch G.I. Joe action figures from the 1960's - 1970's. For example, using the iconic Joe head as the original soldier, sailor, frogman, marine, pilot, astronaut, adventure team (some with "Kung-Fu Grip" era beards) as some kind of special anniversary releases.  They would look awesome if the packaging used and paid homage to the original wonderful box art.  Just an idea.

I think they have been trying to do that with the Classified Fireman, Police Officer, Marine Sniper, etc. figures.  It's not as close to an homage as what you're asking for, but I believe the intent of these figures was to represent iconic, but generic, characters in the Classified line like the older Joe dolls did.

[Lord_Scareglow]

I hadn't paid attention to the new name only reveals, but came across them and my little eyes popped wide to see Hydro-Viper and Zanya, love that, will be very excited to get those 2, the other names don't move me, although Ninja Force Zartan was pretty fun, I wonder if they plan on keeping him as vibrant as the original figure or if they will subdue the neon pants and bright face paint and hair..I really hope we get some more Ninja Force figs like Banzai, T-gin Zu and T'jbang, Also less on my want list for NF but wanted would be Dojo and Bushido.

Really hope they have plans to get wacky at some point and visit Star Brigade, Mega Marines and some super wild Eco-Warriors as long as they are just as neon and pretty as the OGs

I keep wanting to slink out of the Joe collecting but I can't they keep getting me all excited.

Would love to see Mike Powers, The Atomic Man turned into a Classified 6 inch figure. 70's meets 80's.

I would love to see them do the Mega Marines! Personally I'd like to see them done in the more... subdued... colors that we saw with their rereleases in later lines/convention exclusives that highlight the sculpting more, but can't deny the desire to see how they could translate some of those hi-vis designs into modern toys!

The beauty of the Adventure Team characters is that, for the most part, one basic buck yields multiple figures. And if they add gear, there can be a lot of common re-use as well.

Back when I first caught whispers of the 6" GI Joes back in 2012, I posted and proposed a " GI Joe UNIVERSE" concept, akin to the Transformers Universe stuff.
GI joe has a varied run of toys and characters, from the Adventure Team, to Super Joe, Intruders, to historical characters, to Sgt Savage and GI Joe Extreme, and adjacent stuff like Geyperman, Combat Joe and Action Man.
The DiC Action Man would be especially great to tap into.  Legacy is very much along those lines, and I think it could really ignite if they brought back that generic 60's head sculpt for some of them.

As core as the Real American Hero era is to the mythos, I'd love to see them start bringing Sgt Savage and Extreme characters into Classified. Black Dragon, Mayday, Freight, Lt Stone, Sgt Savage - they all have designs that would translate really nicely into Classified and broaden the scope of the line. I'd still love to see some more original characters developed too.

[Atlantis]

Atomic Man and Bullet Man!

[The Thing]

Zap part Beaver?

That face sculpt is different.

i Knew instantly Female Crimson Guard as a must have, Crazylegs, while a character I would want, but also kinda meh about, ultimately has become a current pass, that open mouth is just not working for me, the more I saw the figure I just couldn't with it, I;m also not that keen on him anways, but was on my probably buy it list because I must have 1 of every character, at least this was my criteria up until recently...Just realized some of these guys are just so boring and I have no interest that Why spend the money? more importantly waste precious display space? Case here with Zap, what a dud, boring figure, and what in the world is up with them teef? ...Crazylegs isn't a great figure either, that open mouth just feels wrong, sure it's emulating the card art...but No thanks.
