Hasbro (G.I. Joe Classified): 2

Super7: 7
Mattel (Origins & Masterverse): 20
NECA: 20
McFarlane: 107

This is release count, not figure count, so 2 packs, 4 packs, etc are 1.

Kind of eye-opening how very little G.I. Joe Classified stuff has actually come out.

Seriously, I've never seen a toy line sputter through it's first two years of existence the way classified has. Hasbro started the Power Rangers Lightning Collection a year before Classified and it's been fairly consistent with releasing new figures. And yet, the GI Joe team just can't seem to figure it out.

The only thing I would knock McFarlane for would be the Year 2 Batman fiasco. Broken figures AND completely missing the release date by 4(?) months.

I don't remember any rumors for a Batman and Robin wave. Honestly, I think a lot of people would be into figures from BF and B&R. When Hot Toys solicited their Robin from Batman Forever, the online reaction was "You know what..... I actually want that." Despite the hate for the movies, I think if McFarlane gave us figures of the main looks for each character, I think people would buy them.

I'd be down for an Uma Thurman Poison Ivy, so long as it's the first costume she wore in the movie.
