Figure parts you'd like to see used more often and those you are sick of

[Dead Man Walkin]

For better or worse, parts reuse is the reality of today's action figure lines. Hasbro has been particularly adept at reusing parts in the GI Joe, but still making convincing, compelling, attractive figures. However, there may be opportunities they are missing out on by not reusing some great tooled parts enough. Conversely, they may be causing fatigue by overusing other parts. So what parts would you like to see used more and which less or no more?

More:
I'd like to see more of ver 12 Baroness's body (no innuendo intended). After the disappointing first 25th Baroness, this Baroness was such a revelation. It would be great to see this body used again for Munitia or even just other variations on the Baroness, or even parts of the body for other females.

BARONESS (v12), YOJOE.COM | YoJoe.com: Dedicated to the G.I.Joe of the 80's, 90's and beyond! (http://www.yojoe.com/action/09/baroness12.shtml)

No More:
Captain Ace's thighs. These things seem like they show up all of the time, and in my opinion do not work with a lot of lower legs. They also look very "early" 25th anniversary to me, which makes them stand out among the nicer PoC/30th sculpts.

Resolute Desto's regalia long skirt suit...Sgt. Major is sharp crisp and badass looking! We need more variations on this....hell an enitre 25th Anni Red Shadows setup with this suit would look AWESOME!

Agreed, we need Resolute Destro's out there.

I hate the lower legs on the Alley Vipers and Range Vipers. I don't ever want to see those again.

I do hope to see the new Firefly and canceled 30th Flint torso get used as much as Snake Eyes ver 54 legs.

Hate those too. Unfortunately, the new Crimson Guards have them too.

Wish Hasbro would stop using: Shocktrooper legs and POC wave 3 Sanke Eyes legs (without adjustments). Shocktrooper legs are getting WAY over used. POC w3 SE legs are over-used but if you didn't use the kneepads and filled the hole in the knee, that would be cool. Also, for the POC/30th Cobra Trooper, I wish Hasbro would have re-tooled the knees from the 25th Cobra Trooper and used that sculpt for the kneepads. I think the legs would have looked totally different with the correct kneepads.

Wish Hasbro would use more of: 25th Mutt and 25th Viper shoulders. I hate the 25th TF Flint shoulders. I like the bulk of the Mutt/Viper shoulders. Adjust the flap at the back of the elbow and that would be perfect. Also use more of the Night adder forearms for the big guys. Re-doing Gung-Ho with the proper arms and chest (again Night Adder) with the same thighs and bulkier boots (with laces like Bench Press has) and a newly sculpted face, and you'd have the ULTIMATE GH.

I like the POC Shock Trooper/Cobra Trooper torso/combo. It looks like a modern combat shirt that a lot of the troops are wearing IRL. I'd also like to see more the POC Recondo/Hawk legs.

I like the poc dusty legs. Over used SE could be changed up switch the holster and kneepads. The kneepads should be so easy. I'm good with the leg knife. How about a south paw holster no love for the lefties.

Wish they would use more of POC shocktrooper body. Like the said, very realistic and true to real life. Also, POC Beachhead upper body. Nice sculpt of tech armor over simple turtleneck. Could go a looooong way with the right color combination.

I wish to hell they would never ever use again POC Dustys lower arms and gloves. The upper arm sculpt is fine and looks awesome, mayne needs a tweak. But those lower arms and hands just cant hold anything correctly, and are horrible for posing. Those hands and lower arms killed the POC Hawk.

The parts of the GH SB.

Tired of seeing the Resolute Duke limbs used in inappropriate places.

Poc SE v54 whole body. I wish they would make the 12 male original Joes with this mold, DG Duke looks pretty good.
