Niiiice!!!

If this is a true 3.75" figure... I might actually bite.

I don't believe in paying $20 per figure but a modern articulation Joe at ARAH scale height as a one off purchase would justify it.

105 mm is the size posted

So… 4.13 inches. That’s modern Joe scale. Like PoC/30th/50th/Retro. Close to most modern figures like MTF, BFS, JoyToy, and of course Hiya’s other offerings.

One one hand it’s nice to see the Clssified design coming to a small scale, with better production quality and the same price as retail Joes.

On the other hand, it feels like Hasbro just gave up and sold off their firstborn child.

Yeah, if it's actually scaled with MTF/50th/etc, I might grab him. 3.75" doesn't work with any of my customs/collections, and Hiya/Joy Toy figs have been notoriously shrimpy & pea-headed for my tastes. But I'll wait & see how he looks next to Hasbro or MTF figs and then see about pulling the trigger. Looks like a great sculpt, but I'm guessing he's Hiya Colonial Marines/Superhero-sized and not Marauder/50th/etc sized.

Bah. Bummer for me but excellent for modern Joe fans. Oh well.

Considering that I swore probably a decade ago that I never wanted another Snake Eyes figure, I was very surprised that I actually liked the sculpt pretty well and am seriously considering getting it if the figure isn’t too tall to fit in with the 25th-on releases.

Hiya posted Stormshadow to their Facebook page
They are making the G.I.Joe: Operation Blackout versions

I like the pew pew, but I'm kind of tired of seeing this look over and over and over for him. I get it with Snake Eyes because he's the poster boy, but CC has had other looks. Hooded? Armored? Could you imagine if Hiya did the armored version?

I am surprised they did not add an extra hooded head.
I am very tempted by & but my Hasbro ones are just fine.
I am very excited at the possibility of Duke next.

My understanding is that Hasbro won’t allow the hood any more.

I like the look of it but can’t say I need another Cobra Commander.

It's a fine figure. The SE is a fine figure, they're just desperately undistinguished. Hasbro has given us so many versions of these looks and, for my money, done them better. So many directions a company like Hiya could go with this license, but these just feel like rehashes.

Honestly, I'd have preferred Hasbro gave the 4" license to a company like Jazwares for a modern lower-end mass-market take on the brand. Hell, make it a sub-line to Fortnite with the same cartoony proportions and sculpts. At least it would be something a little different.

and the next character is inexplicably
