I agree. I think this line will last for a while. GvC, VvV, and DTC were crappy, had WAY less fan support, and lasted 3 years. I see a LOT of posts saying 25th got them back into collecting Joes.
25th came out with two 5 packs just to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of G.I.Joe A Real American Hero. They were well received and the line was extended.
Sure we're going to get a lot of reused parts, but with the separate web gear, who really cares. If one guy has a short sleeve button up shirt with a collar, why not use it for the other guy who has a short sleeve button up shirt with a collar?
The movie will be out next year. Of course Hasbro hopes for a success, and if you love your Joes, you'd better help make it one! Movies these days have been done in trilogies usually 3 years apart. So if the movie is a success, the 3rd movie should come out in 2015. That's 7 years of Joe minus 3 years of movie figures. So at the very least, we could have 4 more years of classic RAH Joe. Look how much stuff has come out in just 1 year? Do you not think we'll get just about everything we can think of and more?
I do.
And I don't mind the repaints as long as they follow a theme like Tiger Force, Python Patrol, Slaughters Marauders, Night Force, Jungle, Desert, or Arctic.
Overall, with the exception of Duke arms, I've been happy with this line.
And Destro's gimp hand that won't hold his briefcase.
And Breaker does have a big noggin'.
Oh yeah, and Grunt sucked!
I could have done without the closed fists on Cobra Commander and Shipwreck.
And comic, vehicle, and DVD figures coming without all their gear.
But other than that, I'm happy!
