Crazy idea for GI Joe Classified line...

This came to me in a dream... or a power nap that went on for way too long.

OK here come the torches and pitchforks... Street Fighter II was a small GI Joe sub-line.

Partially inspired by the game and the movie. So, what if we were to Bring back the Street Fighting Joes? That way they don't have to get any Actor's (or actor's Estate's) permission to use their likeness. As much as I would love a Raul Julia M Bison figure, I'd leave the movie accurate figures to companies like NECA... Now my dream was taking the characters from the movie, "GI Joe-tize" them into something that would've felt at home in the 90s line.
For example:
A "GI Joe-tized" Cammy could be made by reusing Scarlett's torso, and biceps with new forearms and legs (the latter could be reused with Lady Jaye) the design would be "Movie inspired" while retaining some game inspired elements (beret, forearms,  and hairstyle)

Guile could use the Cobra Island Roadblock upper body and the normal Roadblock legs... with a new Guile head.

Balrog would be a recreation of the SFII Toy, basically, a Black Big Boa with a new head. That would also allow to have most of the pieces for Big Boa ready for action.

That way, by wearing Joe toys/movie outfits, they can avoid stepping on Storm Collectibles and Bandai's toes.

Hell they can even use the IDW comic's plot of MARS funding Shadaloo's tournament.
