Welcome to the official kick off to G.I. Joe Classified March Madness 2023 hosted by HissTank.com.
HissTank.com Board Members are invited to post your top 32 most wanted G.I. Joe and Cobra agents that have yet to made into G.I. Joe Classified action figures. There has been lots of talk about G.I. Joe and Cobra figures that people would prefer to be updated, while others prefer the classic look and feel of the ARAH designs.
This is your chance to tell Hasbro directly what versions of each figure you desire and what figures should take precedence in both design and desirability. We are asking board members to be specific when making your list of 32 for G.I. Joe Classified March Madness. If you want a POC designed over the classic design to be produced, note these character selections properly. No character is off the table!
We have had excellent success with our previous G.I. Joe March Madness winners for 25th Anniversary, Modern Era and G.I. Joe Classified figures because this list provides Hasbro with excellent direct market feedback. Every vote counts and we are asking everyone in the G.I. Joe Community to get involved! If there is a figure you want to see get produced let Hasbro know!
Use the thread attached to this news post to nominate 16 Cobra agents and 16 G.I. Joe team members to face off in our yearly G.I. Joe March Madness polls.
Before you make your list please check this news (G.I. Joe Classified Check List) post to view all of the up coming G.I. Joe Classified action figures that have been announced to-date.

G.I. Joe Classified Series Check List What We Know
Since Hasbro has demonstrated it's willingness to produce more deep cut leaning figures like Big Ben, Agent Helix, Shadow Tracker and more... this has greatly influenced my selections for this year. Some are more mainstream then others but I want those deep cut figures mixed in like the current trend.

I want all of them in the updated classic style. I'm probably in the minority, but I like the original Classified versions of Duke, Scarlett, Destro, and the Cobra Island Trooper. I kind of wish the line had continued in this direction, but I did not like Roadblock or Gung-Ho, so maybe I don't know what I want.

Attempting to avoid anything on the list, and doing these in the order they come to my mind - all POC-and-later style (EG, modern updated versions of classic looks / gear) unless stated otherwise:

4. Wet Suit (classic version, I'll wait on the SEAL gear)
5. Sci-Fi
6. Dial-Tone

8. Wild Bill
9. Lifeline
10. Skyduster
11. Studio Series / Movieverse Roadblock
12. Studio Series / Movieverse Flint
13. Snake Eyes 2 / Dawn Moreno
14. Bombstrike
15. Barrel Roll
16. Doc
Cobra:

10. Battle Armor CC

Assume all are desired in ARAH v1 colors and appearance unless other version is specified:
Joes:
Cobras:
I didn't even think they'd even announced Jinx yet, but I left her off my list just because she's too obvious at this point to fill the female slot in a later wave.
Other than that, Edgecrusher, I applaud your TARGAT love and hope that others join us in this journey.
