[Talisman]

No... Bolo's clan has returned!

[Mermaniel]

They as horrible as the new retaliation vehicule drivers.

[drunknmunky]

Tons of ninjas, lack of articulation, nothing but repaints....

Are you positive these aren't Retaliation figures?
:)

[orezona]

They are as horrible as the new retaliation vehicle drivers.

Beat me to it.

[DESTRO]

No... Bolo's clan has returned!

Bolo needs no Clan, for he is his own Clan.

[jmlawn]

I saw these during Christmas at a Family Dollar Store.

[AMERICAN_Hero7]

"Join us now!"

No thanks.

[Gyre-Viper]

These have been around for a while. They're better than some Retaliation offerings for sure.

[Python_Puckman]

"Collect them all!" . . . but they all come in the same box.

[rglass2]

I like their packaging better then the retaliation one...just saying.

[Flint4107]

Knock offs always kind of make me physically nauseous.

And come on guys, only the vehicle drivers have lost articulation in the new movie line. Give it a chance.

[BCYOJOE]

I wonder what "J. I." stands for?

[brock Samson]

China, where copyrights and patents go to die.

[Dusty Ayers]

Damn commies......

[Omega 8]

Not gonna lie, I totally want these.......

[Dusty Ayers]

Actually there are several single card figs that have lost articulation. Duke and CC for example have no ankle articulation.

[hahoo3]

I'm totally troop building these!!! Thanks for the heads up!!!

[ilzuccone]

I like their packaging better then the retaliation one...just saying.

my thoughts exactly.

[Black Llama]

I didn't know they were releasing the Retaliation vehicle drivers as a boxed set! Sweet!

[mightyjl]

those honestly don't look much worse than the Retaliation figures

[drunknmunky]

These have been around for a while. They're better than some Retaliation offerings for sure.

Can you confirm for us that these are actually Retaliation 2Ups?

[samantha]

Well, they do make some interesting KO over there.

[DR.Sin]

WHAT IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT?! These are the new retaliation figures. They look fantastic. Hasbro has outdone themselves again. You know what this means? We have had these out for a while right? That means Hasbro was hiding these in plain sight for us to find easy, but we didn't notice them because of their ninja cloaking talents. It is just like what 30th SS did to us, and still likes to do with stores across the country.

[Sean_C]

If they were official Hasbro product I'm sure there'd be some tools...er...fans defending them and praising them for making toys kids will like and that adult fans should accept that these aren't being made for us and blah, blah, blah....

[solid.wii]

I saw these at a Mexican flea market booth this past weekend.

[Xenos]

They look like what would happen if Hasbro let Bandai make GI Joes.

[meandnooneelse]

These have been out a while. I picked some up last year for Dave from Slayer Designs. The Snake Eyes head sculpt looks like a larger version of the POC version.

[Frank Talltree]

"Collect them all!" . . . but they all come in the same box.

The back of the box shows five figures. Only four come with the set. Where can I get the fifth one?

[paraviper]

You have to go to China. lol

[MeLikeJinx]

Good question. LOL.

[Frank Talltree]

I think trading a Renegades SS for a Ninja Suzuya sounds fair.

Bandai America, maybe.

[sbartek1974]

I just read this article here about the J. I. Force toys and they are claiming that it "is not" a knock-off of G. I. Joe.

I saw this toy during my visit to Toy Kingdom in SM Makati and then I spotted this action figure with the label "J.I. Force", its not a GI JOE knock off toy or a figure copied from existing licensed action figure, I checked the figure and it has a nice plastic material, I didn't bought one but I just looked at it and see the detail of the toy, there are many version of this toy, and using the same head sculpt.

I started to wonder, if this toy maker can produce a nice mold and sculpt for the head and body, and resembles a westerner guy that look like RAMBO and other version that look like a from a SWAT Team and the most disturbing part is the title.... I just hope that J.I. acronym is not similar to the group of war makers that we usually hear and see on the news.

Here's the link:

Hey, the look like...oh, that joke has already been made about fifty times? Damn.

[DESTRO]

Bolo killed him and smashed his mold just by thinking about it.

[Talisman]

Bolo killed him and smashed his mold just by thinking about it.

Because he tried to imitate Bolo, apparently. The one that's missing is one of the black Bologangers.

Let this be a lesson to us all.

[Dem_Yoe'z!]

QFT lol!^

[cobracobra]

Judgment Indiana Force Figures. Well GI JOE is all about ninjas.

[DavAnthony]

That sadly is how the GI Joe line will probably look in 2013

[IIIzoeIII]

so glad I don't live in China haha ouch

[red4]

These toys are ugly, and I dislike them.

[Steel Brigade]

*sings it* J.I. FORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I SEE I will BUY!! lol SSS(

[spiderpumpkin]

I bet more kids buy those instead of GI Joe.

lol!

[1982]

At F-D there called NINJA action figure play set 22-pc for five dollars what a deal. Sigma Six IS BACK!!!! I can't believe somebody was brave enough to take them out of the package, I figured they would crumble when exposed to oxygen. They're an oddity but for five dollars, worth picking up.

[KrymsynGardImmoral]

I got a 2 pack of these guys a little while ago from CW Price.

Multiple LOLgasms.

[dmizrok]

was JUST going to type this! lol...I didnt have a camera on me or i woulda taken a pic...

[46 Zone]

I think hasbro had some intellectual property trading with the company that made these figs. SE and SS sculpts for tips on decreased articulation.

[penntastic]

Lead paint content: 100% "Guaranteed!"*

*actual lead paint content may be higher.

[Clobbertron]

These look great for me. My kid likes ninjas. Maybe I can trade him some of those stupid Cobra troops for these really awesome Ninja.

[thairestauranteur]

Why is it that these lower articulated figures look much better than Hasbros?

[CobraSnakeEyes]

...eh

[screamers_ghost]

is it wrong I want some of these?

[helljester]

I always enjoy looking at KOs. These ones being associated with Joes make it even better...anybody remember the hisstanks that came out some years ago?

[Laser Viper]

Anyone sure these aren't retaliation figures? just kidding

[Lody]

Cause we need MORE ninjas

[jestermon]

Man it's hard to tell the difference, good knock offs.

[Ixz72]

China, where copyrights and patents go to die.


Actually you cannot put a patent of the human body, that is why the original GI Joe had a scar on the face and a fingernail on the wrong side of the thumb. Also that is why The Corps, PTE, True Heroes, BBi, etc do not have to pay royalties to HASBRO for making "Military Style" action figures. HASBRO has a copyright on the name "G.I. Joe" and the names of the products under that brand and that is it.

How is there a copyright violation here? These are not knock offs. The only thing that resembles anything GI Joe is the Snake Eyes mask. But seriously, any white ninja is a copy of Storm Shadow? And any Red Ninja is a copy of Cobra red ninjas? Isn't that the same thinking as "Predator is a Gi Joe movie"?

Forget that red and white are very generic colors. Plus these things are not even the same scale as current release Joes.

China makes these toys for people who cannot afford or refuse $10.00 per figure. And is meant to be a low-cost substitution for higher end, brand name military figures. The construction of it and design is a reflection of you get what you pay for.

And finally... Seriously? This deserved to be front paged?

To say this is not a direct KO of Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes is complete BS! You even said it yourself, that is the Snake Eyes head. And the Body is taken directly from Storm Shadow in design.

The KO version shown of Storm Shadow is the Sigma 6 Storm Shadow head, so yeah it's a direct KO, and Yes.... Seriously? It did need to be front paged if only to just piss you off.

I'm feeling more then just a little Evil today!

[700block]

yea i posted this stuff almost 2 years ago lol.

That's cool to know they are out there on single card but it's not the same set, Fake Eyes lol.

[Lody]

Fake Eyes

Hahaha

[spike78a]

there packaging looks better than the retaliation packaging.

How is it a direct knock off if it isn't the same scale, the same articulation, the same material? Hey it's a white ninja with red trim it must be storm shadow. So Joe fans will make the comparison. But those unfamiliar with the Joe mythos will see it's just a white ninja.

Seriously? It did need to be front paged if only to just piss you off.

I guess you need to get out more. :-)

But those unfamiliar with Joe won't recognize them as knockoffs because they unfamiliar with the brand. But those of us who know about Joe recognize the similarities immediately. They don't necessarily have to be the exact same scale to be knockoffs. You can look at them and clearly see the similarities, not exact copies but definitely similar.

I got banned once, stemming from questioning the wisdom of "front-paging" similarly erroneous subject matter. You get any infractions? :)

[Paul Grant]

I've never seen these in China. Packaging design looks similar to what I've seen on some Transformer KO boxes here. Looks like they were made for export, no Chinese characters on the box.

[Jin Saotome]

Hmmmm, all joking aside, how tall are these next to a Marvel Legends 6" Figure? They 6" or Figma 5"? The heads might be useful there.

I seem to have lost my tape measure (not even joking) but they are more on the 5 inch side....Best guess.

[RolandofGilead]

More Ninja(s) is always a good thing ain't it?

[MeLikeJinx]

Saw the big (12 inch?) version of these J.I. Force ninjas at a discount party supply store called Price Busters. They came single boxed and were $5.99 each. Don't look like they sold much... or any. LOL.
