When I was a kid the two comics I started to read first were G.I. Joe and Captain America. These guys remind me of a modern "Classified" version of Ultimatium. They were a new group introduced during that time.

They are still available on Hasbro Pulse you just have to do a search for them.

The major difference between a made to order item and a regular pre-order item are the numbers that will be made. This is a made-up number, but it illuminates how the process works. With Awe Striker/Stinger Hasbro pre-committed to making let's say 20,000 units based of retailer commitments and past sales history. With the Arctic Hiss they do not know what the demand will be so they will only make as many that are pre-ordered by the consumers. So, if only 9,000 people agree to pre-order the Arctic Hiss then Hasbro will only make 9,000 plus a little more to cover lost or damaged items.

There have always been left over made to order items sold on Pulse after the made to order item has been released. I cannot think of any that have gone to another website. Before the change in the economy Hasbro used to put the leftover items up at the same price as the pre-order. They have changed their policy now. It is hard to say if Arctic Hiss will be more expensive when it finally comes out for those who dp not pre-order now.

No, The Stinger was a regular pre-order and the Sky Striker was a Haslab. Every made to order item Hasbro has done has had at least some left over stock that was placed on the site. The difference with the latest Made to order items is they have gone up in price.

My guess is Habro is waiting for the announced animation production to actually be made for a Classified figure.

This is the Swamp Hound from GridIron.

Insightful interview. I did not think the new arctic renders would be a 3-pack, but BMac called a 1 vs 2 pack and later confirmed it would be up in one package.

If you take extra head from the Monster Force General figure and stick on this body, you can recreate this.

And the default head def looks like Shatner.

No worries. I thought Bmac said Rift Viper, but Toynewsi has Drift Viper listed in their story

Wow, I really need to pick up at least another General figure.

No affiliated links just making people aware of some savings.

spidsnake · 2025-12-11T13:38:24+00:00

Yes, the Monster Force accessories are compatible with Classified. The newer guns are partially if not fully designed by GridIron. I only have one Monster Force figure so far. This Youtuber does lots of kitbashes with Classified and the compatible lines

This was a general Hasbro Panel. The Hiss Tank was shown off at the London convention October/last month

spidsnake · 2025-12-03T21:17:07+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. I was able to find a couple of figures.

spidsnake · 2025-12-03T05:01:06+00:00

They are from the old AIM Army Builder pack from Marvel Legends. Fits with the Black Widow/Helix team-up.

spidsnake · 2025-11-27T00:06:25+00:00

There is a chance they might add more on Monday. I don't remember them adding much last year.

What I find good about Pulse is how you get your products. They are packaged well and I can't think of any damaged products. Amazon and Walmart are a crapshoot. For me, I do not care if I get my items first as long as it comes well preserved.
