I hope they are scaled to legends size and not sw black / power rangers size.

WHAT? No Ballistic Battle Ball or Buzz Boar? We can't be friends...😝

These look like they will be Lightning Collection/Black Series sized, or close to the MCU figure scale...because if you look closer...

...That is not a headswap of the Peter Parker head onto another Snake Eyes body...it's a headswap onto a customized 80th Variant Punisher...which was largely a kitbash of Killmonger.

With these 6" scale Joes looking so nice... I wonder if it will drive down prices of the 3.75" 25th/POC/ROC/Retaliation/Resolute/Renegades Joes the same way Legends seemed to absolutely tank the value of MU. I have never seen toy value drop as much as MU did.

I don't think it will. Star Wars figures (particularly the more articulated figures from the Clone Wars and Saga collections) didn't take too big of a hit, and I don't think the Joe lines you mentioned will either. The accessories, playsets and vehicles that compliment those lines are way better in terms of anything MU ever had to offer. All MU had was it's vast cast of characters as its strength, but so many of them were done poorly and there was still one too many Iron and Spider-Man figures for it's own good.

I'll probably piss off a sector of fans by saying it, but MU was a vastly inferior line of figures compared to those later Joe and Star Wars lines...especially the formentioned SW collections and Joe POC and ROC series. I collected MU for a long time, and finally got out because I got tired of the inconsistency all over the line. Scale, articulation, lack of accessories, sculpts...with MU there was always something...something I never had to worry about with those other figure brands.

So I'm assuming then that once the line rolls out this thread will die and we'll just set up a proper 6" Joe thread.

Definitely more in scale with SW Black and Power Rangers. Works perfectly with Articulated Icons too.

Damn. I was able to get a lot of dirt cheap MU figs that I missed out on first time around since so many local collectors were completely getting out of the MU game and switching to Legends. Not gonna lie... I was hoping the same would happen to Joes... I would buy the crap out of 25th/POC Joes if people started getting rid of their collections and switching to 6" Joes.

And yah... I am legit stunned at how well 3.75" vintage SW and Clone Wars stuff retain their value a decade later even as the 6" scale SW stuff fully starts to take over.

Is this an actual line or another one-off exclusive?

Actual line, the first wave includes Snake Eyes, Roadblock, Duke, Scarlett and Destro.

I think we already have info on wave two, Cobra Commander is in there.

This Snake Eyes is basically an early bird release with fancier extra packaging around the actual retail box.

[lordbest]

Nice, thank you.

SE looks like he scales with legends well also, that is a Shang Chi on the end with a Danny rand / iron fist head. What’s good is ML scales character proportionate so it doesn’t really matter if SE is slightly smaller than a couple ML characters.

The Shang Chi body (upper torso anyways) is basically an up-scaled Pizza Spidey mold, and is still relatively small compared to some of the other bodies in the Legends line. That'll work fine with the scale they're going with for the Joes in most cases, but the problem will be if you ever try to stick a member of the Joe team side by side with say...Captain America, or anyone on a Bucky Cap mold. Thanks to Legend's weird sense of scale, which is all over the place, the Joes are gonna look puny against the forces of Hydra, while Cap's gonna tower over them like he's a Spartan out of Halo.

Nearly every Female Legend outside of the MCU figs is also gonna tower over them. It might not seem that way, but Stick a Lightning Collection or one of the human Star Wars characters not covered in 200 pounds of armor, and the difference in size becomes much more apparent. Most of the MCU figures though are a bit smaller (due to their more "realistic" nature) so they should feel right at home with the Classified line.

Of course, this really doesn't mean a thing unless you're a super stickler for scale and are just standing them on a shelf, though if you enjoy doing photography with your toys, it does mean you are gonna have to play around with angles and perspectives a bit. I'm sure it won't be much of an issue for many of the photographers who are slaying it out there on IG.

Wow. Awful. How the heck did hasbro blow this. They look like toony figures. Colors are crap and the packaging is forgettable.

My god, all they had to do was upsize the 25th collection and give some classic packaging.

I did preorder snake eyes on pulse but this line is DOA.

[Black Arbor]

I assume these are based off some weird Fortnite aesthetic, but if you swapped Roadblock's sci-fi tuning fork weapon with Deathlok's gatling gun it'd go a long way towards making him look better!

[Bo Ttef]

I like them. Vintage looks would have been better IMO but I don't see anything wrong with these modern takes. Give them a few years and Retro cardback versions of the originals will be a given!

[Sean C]

By making modern aesthetics, they can remake the same handful of characters over again.

Also, not so military are they? Not that Scarlett ever was.

[Dr Kain]

Not feeling those. They look like oversized GI Joe vs Cobra/Valor vs Venom figures.

[Bo Ttef]

Walmart has (had?) pics of Duke up... I think folks will be happier with him that aren't feeling the Scarlet and Roadblock

It’s almost like people actually do like good 3.75 figures...

If you told me that these were Fortnite figures, I'd believe you.
