I finally have a spot to display my Classified figures which means I can start unboxing what I've had stashed for the last month or so. I gotta start with the figure that has automatically cracked my "Top 5 Classified Joes list" , Big Boa!
Not familiar with this character (it's been decades since I've watched GI Joe)... but I love the accessories that come with this figure. Looking forward to seeing your Classified display.
Big Boa was created to go up against new GI Joe re ruit Rocky Balboa. The Balboa experiment fell through and a Rocky figure never released. Big Boa, however, stuck round.

Ooooh,this is a good one!Corner stores.What would we,as kids,have done without em'!Corner stores were our gas stations.Where we would go to fuel up on junk food at the midway point of our day.On the way there we would reflect on how things had gone so far and speculate on what might or should happen next.Jokes were told,friends were clowned and many a fart was laid. I think It was one of those things where the journey was more enjoyable than the destination.After all,we were free!Like Toy Box mentioned In his Round Robin post,back In the days there were no terror threats,Ebola outbreaks or ballsy pedophiles on the prowl.We all came from the same hood so everybody knew everybody and all the crazies knew better than to mess with anybody's kids.Corner store visits was our time to walk the streets on our own,free of any parental guidance.The sidewalks were ours to speed on with our bikes and skateboards.Parks,even if chained up,always had a weak link and a...
