Well, this showed up earlier than expected!!

Here’s a quick pics look at the new G.I.Joe Classified Chip “Raptor” Talon & General Ledger action figure set by @hasbro

I remember as a kid, Raptor & Crystal Ball were probably the biggest peg warmers of the line. I was never a fan of the original Raptor but I must say, he looks pretty damn cool as a 6″ classified figure.

I’m really digging that winged pack, especially the way it can wrap around Raptor, Gundam style!

There’s been a lot of discussion regarding this latest wave, both positive and negative. It always blows my mind how some collectors can’t seem to draw the line between negative opinion and entitled angst.

Where do you stand? Picking up Raptor for your collection, or skipping him all together?
