Ha. Most of them. You are going to have to be more specific with descriptions
Who's that wearing the backpack?
Two take aways from this Stream is, Finally I can maybe get a Cobra Eel at his point with the retro release, since that first release Amazon exclusives was impossible to get, and was a botched release, still bugs me, I hope this one proves easier to find, and well can't say how annoying it is to see a Snow Serpent that likely isn't as pricey as the one I got, Love what I'm seeing here, Classifieds don't disappoint, sad to see that lovely Female Scout Driver comes with a Vehicle I don't want.
All info and images from the stream are at the top of the thread.

This is the most popular G.I. Joe character by far (sorry, Snake Eyes, but it's true). He's used in all of their external marketing (wearing his classic outfit no less). He has a pop culture presence beyond anything else in G.I. Joe. And yet they still decline to make the figure.
Intellectually, I know we'll get him. But, emotionally, I am very worried because of Hasbro's declining fortunes and its new focus on licensing out IPs. Could Classified end before we get a real Cobra Commander? Probably not. But why keep risking it?
In 2020 and 2021, this line dominated my collecting. I started to get disenchanted with it because of no CC in 2022. In 2023, I demoted my Classified collection to my basement shelves and packed a lot of it up. The Valkryies brought me back for a moment. But it was just a blip. I'm just one person. But the lack of a Cobra Commander four years into the line has basically soured me on Classified. I'm just totally checked out (the tattoos and revisionist designs for Jinx and others hasn't helped).
They probably want some time to lapse before the fit him in the line and the one that was released in the HISS tank. Hopefully when he does come they will include a hooded head.
