Mortal Combat or Street Fighter II G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary Figures?

[DESTRO]

Ok new Poll, what Video game figures would you most like to see made into G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary style figures?

[Shin Densetsu]

I voted Mortal Kombat. Cyber ninjas FTW. Plus the character roster is HUGE.

[Spirit-Iron_Lun]

I would want MK figures before SF. Kano is perfect for a new Cobra agent plus you cant go wrong with Ninjas. And the ninjas could all use the same mold. We all know how Hasbro likes to re-use their molds

[Colder Soldier]

I voted SF. Every MK game since MK2 has been mediocre or just plain sucked. Not saying G.I.JOE is the most perfect property, I would still prefer if it not associate with that type of lameness. SF is a lot more respectable. They've been known to mix it up with the Marvel Universe.

What about having a game like G.R.A.W., Halo, or even Crackdown intergrated into JOE? Huh? Now were thinkin' outside the box.

[Tin_Trencher]

I voted MK, because I don't know that those have been Joes before. I had the SFII figures back in the day. I hated the Chun Li legs though.

[sharke]

MK, then I'd finally get a respectable Scorpion figure

[C.I.A.D.]

I voted MK, because I don't know that those have been Joes before. I had the SFII figures back in the day. I hated the Chun Li legs though.

MK did have a 3.75" figure assortment, but they were not affiliated with G.I.Joe as Street Fighter was.

I voted for MK....Ninja Battle Pack FTW!

[Dr. Venom]

Moooortal Koombaaaaaat!!!!

[vega-1]

Even with my last name being called Vega I still would chose Mortal Kombat any day.

[jamarmiller]

LOL thats unexpected! its hard for me to choose , I love both and have both of the assortments that Hasbro did way back.

I love them and would honestly like to see both done

[Syn3sthesia]

Love the games but not the figs...I rather see some Neon colors before them!

[Blackdragon]

I've always loved Mortal Kombat, from the games to the movies. I'd love to get some new figs in 25th form.

[C.I.A.D.]

SF - Akuma

MK - Reptile

[the_loud_master]

Mortal Kombat! Love to get me a new Raiden.

[Cataclizm1]

None. Use the money to keep making JOEs we're missing instead of wasting it on a niche video game property.

[MegaPrime33]

I voted for MK. Scorpion and Sub-Zero would be nice.

[Hicks_Royel]

I would want MK figures before SF. Kano is perfect for a new Cobra agent plus you cant go wrong with Ninjas. And the ninjas could all use the same mold. We all know how Hasbro likes to re-use their molds

Hell, all they'd have to do is repaint the current Red Ninja 7 times. Is that right... Ermac, Rain, Smoke, Noob Saibot, Reptile, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Sneezy, Dasher, Snap, Crackle, Ringo... I'm really surprised we haven't already seen these in the customs.

I voted MK just because I never really followed SF after Super Street Fighter 2. But a new M. Bison and Sagat wouldn't be bad either.

None. Use the money to keep making JOEs we're missing instead of wasting it on a niche video game property.

This is good too.

[Dark 5cythe]

I voted SF because MK is full of weird ass shit and SF just works for a real world appliction.

None of you likes Cobra La but your ok with reptile, Goro and etc???

[sgt.bludhound]

MORTAL KOMBAT got my vote!!

sota toys are doing a good enough job on the Street Fighter series

[Johnnyakiba]

GOD NO! I am not voting in this poll!
Why would we do:

Street Fighter? - They already have 3-4 REALLY good figure made for that series. America has stained this series since the movie. Granted I love G.I. Joe & Street Fighter, I still would not want to see these hit shelves! (Ryu vs. Ken 3"? ....no thanks I have my Microman...or Sota....or Revoltech versions)

Mortal Kombat? - (Oh Lord) This game series has been going down hill since it hit new consoles. Back in the day, It helped start all the rating system controversy! Also, this game is not as popluar anymore...I could live without THIS figure in my set. (But I do have to say that they moved a generation of gamers)

Listen, I know there are many of you that are fans of each series BUT please could we do a series that has more simularities to the G.I. Joe line of figures? NOT fighting game!

How about: LOST PLANET? or METAL GEAR SOLID! Each of these series feature military stylized characters & Hasbro could use current figures to make those as well.

[Dream]

I would love to see them both, as they are part of Joe history, whether you want to admit to it or not.

[snakeeyes8877]

I could do with out them.

[Johnnyakiba]

I could do with out them.

High Five! (Sorry my solid Joe fans!)

[the_loud_master]

Test your might, Johnny!

[MAJOR WOLF]

Mortal Kombat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Johnnyakiba]

Curious....

Does anyone one here play any of the Metal Gear Series?

I would love to see Hasbro bank on the new game that's coming out.

[CaptainDinobot]

I voted for Street Fighter.

[Amberbratt]

I VOTE FOR NONE

I seriously hope they keep this line going for a while but once it starts getting STUPID like some of the crap i have seen on g.i. joe.com or wait yojoe.com

then i will just "STOP" i liked these toys for the old school look i dont want to have a power ranger ass looking gi joe
if i want my toys to have all kinds of cross marketing i would collecting starwars (which i used to collect) until they went to POTJ and started making 400 luke skywalkers and 600 darth vaders han solo chewbacca's ect ect ect and now look u have a 7$ toy and they are all over the place... its junk while i see an ocassionally cool figure out there i couldnt tell you whats in any assortment because they RUINED it by making to many to quickly and suckiing the fun out the fun with all the 'varian't chases ect

I hope that this g i joe things doesnt go that way i would say that my 'celing price at retail is 7.99 and that is pushing it

for what your getting in this "TOY" it should go no higher than that due to the fact these are basically the same cardback, bubble, stand, and RE-HASED parts repainted and shipping in small cases of 8 pack by a truck.

not to mention they own the property and have re tooled the OLD MOLDS are setting up exclusives of the same damn figures and repaiting those and still charging you 5$ a peice (24.99)

I feel bad to for people who are just getting started because they going to be stuck paying 7 dollars for a crappy buzzer or serpentor LMAO

it also sucks because at 7 bucks a pop it ruins it for the customizers out there who have all these good ideas but now wont be able to do it because of COST. While making money short term... in the long run they are going to exclude a larger customer base because of thier need to 'raise prices'.

Hopefully it will all balance out and go back down in a few months because if it goes past 7.99 i sure as hell wont be supporting this line... because I collected some of the random spawn figures and just 5 years ago those were much better in articulation way more detailed and 'collector oriented' manga spawn/anime spawn yadayada

also I have something i could do something with as oppossed to g.i. joe its 4" and while functional and ya you can play with it the paint jobs are SHIT on about 40% of the figures.

I would rather save my money or put a 1-2$ increase... toward something better...

If i do give up i would just go collect something cool like Ben10...

easy to find... and CHEAP... even the new spiderman toys (animated) look cool and the size of VENOM is HUGE

its like 3 g i joes... aren't those like 8.99 or something?

[artiepants]

yeah, i gotta say, just "no"

is there all that much interest in either franchise anymore?

[Hicks_Royel]

I didn't think Shaolin Monks was all that bad, a bit redundant, but what beat'em up isn't?

[TENIME_art]

Can't I vote for both!? T_T"

[crock master]

who needs another fighting game?

[riverlos]

MK for me Raiden

[VIPER 48]

I voted Mortal Kombat. Cyber ninjas FTW. Plus the character roster is HUGE.

I voted Mortal Kombat for the same reason. The roster is a big one...

[Johnnyakiba]

If i do give up i would just go collect something cool like Ben10...

Seriously?.......Seriously?.....Is that what all the cool kids are collecting now-a-days? I saw the show but I was disgusted...the figures are not great either...good luck with that...LOL

[bradforj]

No option for me...I vote neither.

[dasaffe]

No.

[Dream]

Bah
If it wasn't for Street Fighter movie toy line, I would not have the two coolest items in Joe history, The Devastator and The Shadowloo Fortress!

[DPrime]

Can't I vote for both!? T_T"

Why can't I vote for none!?

Seriously, this poll is missing a few options. I don't consider these figures GI Joes. Even if they were packaged as such in the RAH line, that does not mean they're the same property.

If they got the license and used the body construction for them, that'd be fine - I just wouldn't want those characters taking the place of any real Joes or Cobras.

[Dream]

You can't vote for none, because that is not what the thread/poll is about. They wouldn't be taking the place of any figures.
Whenever discussion about the Street Figther II (YES THEY WERE PART OF THE JOE LINE GET OVER IT), and Mortal Kombat series come up, we always get people raining on the parade.
I would really like to see a lot more series/crossover lines using 25th styled bodies as figures.
I like how they used DTC figures for the Hulk movie, but it would have been awesome if they were 25th style.
If they did do new Street Fighter II figures, I would love to get M. Bison, and maybe some made up frankenjoed Shadowloo troopers.
If Mortal Kombat was to be done, I can see everyone wanting the ninjas!
I grew up on G.I. Joe, and was still collecting and playing both games big time when these figures came out, so it would be very cool, though highly unlikely, for them to one day release a battle pack styled set for each series.

[Snake Eyes-Joe Ninja]

I voted SF. Every MK game since MK2 has been mediocre or just plain sucked. Not saying G.I.JOE is the most perfect property, I would still prefer if it not associate with that type of lameness. SF is a lot more respectable. They've been known to mix it up with the Marvel Universe.

What about having a game like G.R.A.W., Halo, or even Crackdown intergrated into JOE? Huh? Now were thinkin' outside the box.


Agreed on the second paragraph, but I FING hate games that re-release themselves 20 times like SFII.

[Snake Eyes-Joe Ninja]

Hell, all they'd have to do is repaint the current Red Ninja 7 times. Is that right... Ermac, Rain, Smoke, Noob Saibot, Reptile, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Sneezy, Dasher, Snap, Crackle, Ringo... I'm really surprised we haven't already seen these in the customs.

LMFAO, Seriously Hicks, that was the single funniest thing I've ever read on here. Props, and thank you for my tears of laughter.

[DarthBrett]

Had to vote for SF2! Can't wait for the HD remix on XBOX Live this spring!

[Dream]

Why would the official Gi Joe site even bother to list this as a poll when the 25th first came out, if they were not considering them?

[Dream]

Oooh...
With the new Street Fighter movie coming out, will they have a toy line using 25th styled figures????

[9deadjoes]

street fighter

[Shin Densetsu]

bodies snap apart so easily, yet the original joes stand tall and strong today........but I still love them
I think the 20th anniversary of street fighter is this year, along with SFIV finally coming out.....

[Blueman]

Hell, all they'd have to do is repaint the current Red Ninja 7 times. Is that right... Ermac, Rain, Smoke, Noob Saibot, Reptile, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Sneezy, Dasher, Snap, Crackle, Ringo... I'm really surprised we haven't already seen these in the customs.

What a coincidence, I will actually be finishing up Crackle this weekend. I already have Dasher, Snap and Ringo complete.


Seriously though, I've always been partial to some of the ninjas, so I did make an LBC Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Reptile. I have a Smoke in process.

[Nathan92]

Hasbro makes too many ninjas, so street fighter. Plus I've been a fan of the street fighter games for 8 or 9 years. One of the first games i ever played was street fighter 2.

[facehammer]

Never really got into either games and never saw how they fit into Joe... I'd rather have Lt. Super Mario. Special Agent Samus perhaps.


Jeff

[CrimsonGuardVet76]

How about neither! ;-)

[Elite Force Cobra]

nothing like the old street fighter figures, sure wish i didn't sell my set damn they were kinda cool because they were different

[9deadjoes]

Street Fighter For Sure...

[Steeler]

Neither. They both were lame.

[TheLongestDay]

I would have a geekasm if they did both-Im making some sf customs and later I wanna try and at least do a Sub-zero...

I have most of the originals but they are so unfaithful to the character designs-especially the sf ones!

[JamesxOnly]

My vote is for Mortal Kombat, because I've always been a MK guy more than I was a Street Fighter guy.

Not only that, but The fact that they could make 8 characters off of the same mold of a Lin Kuei ninja would appeal to Hasbro like crackrocks to a fiend. (REPAINTS?! AWESOME!)

[A.V.A.C.]

NEITHER!

perhaps if we are to suffer these, we could also get a playset with a boat, ramp, a shark, and a kool guy who likes to water-ski.

[protoxero]

mk i allways wanted a baraka joe size, and with the new heads u could do a decap with ease.

fatality!! baraka wins.

[Dirtbag]

I would want MK figures before SF. Kano is perfect for a new Cobra agent plus you cant go wrong with Ninjas. And the ninjas could all use the same mold. We all know how Hasbro likes to re-use their molds

Agree. Still a Scorpion figure would be nice.

[GI Flow]

Both, 'cuz they would all be repaints anyway. So they should do a sub-line that deals with all video games. Like Toy Biz's Video Game Superstars in the Toy Biz 5-inch scale. They had Link/Zelda/Ganon, Chris/Claire Redfield and Leon Kennedy from RE, Lara Croft, even Mario/Luigi, Donkey Kong and other mario kart stars.

[spacemonkeymafia]

Both....

[Shin Densetsu]

Both. Great concept years back, flawed execution. If these were given another go, and the figures were accurate appearance/proportion-wise these would be great and would not be taking up space on the joe pegs. Thats something all of you need to remember. Star Wars and indiana jones have the same figure format but do not steal each other's shelf space nor are they marketed under the same brand. These figures could be sold in their own section or even in the video game aisle.

Hasbro is king of 3-3/4", I'd love to see them add more licenses under the joe format. The problem with the old figures is that they relied upon gijoe figure molds heavily, molds that were incompatible with their appearances in the video game. Done right, this line would rule.

[Bionic Commando]

Man Street Fighter brings back memories.Before the home video game console took over the arcades I used to be the King of Street Fighter back in the days.I used to own the Nathans arcade back in Yonkers,NY with 54 straight wins with Zangief In Street Fighter Alpha people would line up their quarters and act all cocky then I send them home lol...ahh I miss those days

[Cavbeast]

I'm gonna have to say Mortal Kombat, I prefer neither since both lines need to be in the 6" category with loads of articulation like the DC Classics and Marvel Legends.

[TheLongestDay]

definitely,the annoying thing about the gi joe street fighter figures in particular is that there were plenty of better parts they could have re-used to make the characters look right but they were lazy (using slices whole body painted white for Ryu,using Ninja force storm shadows whole body for Ken for example...and dont even get me started on zangief!) but even still the heads were pretty bad...

now with the 25th line and molds they have already got some awesome fodder for making more accurate versions-but i would like to see all new sculpts.

[G.I. Smurf]

I voted SF because MK is full of weird ass shit and SF just works for a real world appliction.

None of you likes Cobra La but your ok with reptile, Goro and etc???

my thoughts exactly. MK is to fake and street fighter fits in with joes better. and right on about the cobra la thing too. and we have saw to many damned ninja's, GOD!!!

[JR0d28]

Both

[sgtapon]

Street Fighter as long as they were game accurate and not like the ones we got in the 90's

[statesofeuphoria]

How about hell no to either.

[CrimsonGuardVet76]

How about hell no to either.

Amen!

[steve2477]

I like to see SF figs, i'd love to see a Ryu, Ken and Guile. They would be wicked.

[Syn3sthesia]

Neither. Love both SF and MK but they don't belong in the joe verse!

[TheLongestDay]

heheheee.....

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i51/thelongestday_photos/2-18.jpg

[Booga]

cool, the poll is 50/50

[lt.greenshirt]

I voted Street Fighter, I still have some of the 12 inch guys. total 141 votes 71 to 70 has a poll been this close before?

[warlord]

tough one.. they'd both be pretty freakin sweet. however MK has alot more characters + a stormshadow + raiden showdown would be SICK!

[TheLongestDay]

50/50!! what are the chances??? :P

[The Batman]

None of either of them. They were peg warmers back in the late 90's and early 2000. If they are going to make those figures, wait until the line is damn near dead. I need to call Mattel and ask them to make a 5 pack of Batman figures with G I Joe articualtion in the 3.75 range. I need a Batman, Robin, Joker, Two-Face, and Batgirl from the 80's. Yeah.. that'd be cool!

[Cobra Invasor]

None

[harkiri]

heheheee.....

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i51/thelongestday_photos/1-19.jpg

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i51/thelongestday_photos/2-18.jpg

see, looking at the figures you did, makes me want MK figures even more if they could do it as well as yours.

Definitely MK

[Cobra Fox]

I voted SFII. I think they're the best fighter game. Especially the babes are a definite eye candies.

[skatezaz]

street fighter, they have already done it so an update would be nostalgic. plus mortal kombat dudes fightings weird like the had a stick up their backside

[Imperial_Ozma]

I prefer Street Fighter just cause it fits better with GI Joe, they both have military agents and martial artists but there's a lot less magic in Street Fighter (yes there is Ki/Chi manipulation resulting in energy blasts, but no other dimensions, elder gods etc). What Street Fighter did have was a terrorist organization bent on world conquest, even if it used more eosoteric methods then Cobra, I could see Cobra and Shadow Lo doing buisness and stabbing each other in the back.

[Johnnyakiba]

I chose SF II because it's the better of the two fighting games in my opinion. BUT if it came down to making a GI Joe figure of a video game? I would say Metal Gear Solid for sure, mostly because of the military influence.

[uberthawk]

actually both...ssf11 first then mc

[Banshee]

I voted for MK for the ninjas! (human, cyber, vaporous :p)

[GI Jon]

Do you think that Guile would come with that F-16 that is in the back ground of his fighting area?

[TheLongestDay]

Do you think that Guile would come with that F-16 that is in the back ground of his fighting area?

well he is a pilot! That would be sweet-theyd have to make his hair removable otherwise how would you fit a helmet on him?

[GI Jon]

well he is a pilot! That would be sweet-theyd have to make his hair removable otherwise how would you fit a helmet on him?

Or just a tall crazy shaped helment that accomodated his hair

[TheLongestDay]

Or just a tall crazy shaped helment that accomodated his hair

HAHAHAHA that would rule!

[Dawg99]

my vote goes for mortal kombat figures street fighter would be cool also

[darkshadow]

maybe packs of two featuring one each of MK and SF characters with bonus of cardboard dioramas or mini comics included.
personally,my bet goes to MK all the way.Scorpion and Sub Zero,aren't they cool?

[Sho Nuff]

So hard, I want them both, but..............eh.......Street Fighter II

[Gundamben831]

that is a really tough call because I just had gained a new love for Street fighter and for MK i dunno after the movies it just killed it for me so I would have to say Street Fighter all the way

::Sorry MK fans I know the game is fun but i think SF takes a lil more skill than button mashing::

[Pimp Daddy Darklon]

Mortal Kombat. Because I'm content with the SOTA Street Fighter offering & because MK lends itself better to the 25th anniversary style because of more normal human proportions than SF.

[optimusred6]

I love mortal kombat & street fighter. but love to see Scorpion, Sonya Blade, Sub-zero with scar, Gammy, Guilde, Ruy.

[MLos1]

MK without a doubt because it's such an interesting line up. SF is good, don;t get me wrong, but they have had decent treatments with other manufacturers. MK deserves a good, solid 3.75 run.

[DrKain]

I'm torn, as I really only care about Vega and Bison from SF, and Reptile, Shao Khan, and Raiden.

[sisco]

I voted for MK. I'd like to see the Mortal Kombat I, II, and III characters done again. A lot of them would look pretty cool with the Joes or Cobra. Most of them can be made using existing molds. And many characters can be made from recoloring one mold. So Hasbro would save a lot on production costs.

Sub Zero would look sweet using a tweaked Storm Shadow mold. Reptile and Scorpion would as well, give reptile a swappable lizard head and Scorpion Montezuma's skeleton head. Throw in Smoke and Noob Saibot repaints as well.

Katana, Jade, and Milena could be made using one female Ninja mold, just give Milena a swappable head.

Kano would look sweet among the Dreadnoks.

Sonya Blade, Jax, and Stryker could be displayed with the Joes.

Cyrax and the other robots would look cool with Cobra.

Put Kintaro and Goro in Comic packs with other figs or as Build-A-Figures to offset the cost of making them big with 4 arms.

[starscream-99]

Aside from Scorpion and Sub-Zero I would really like to see figure of the MK cyborgs Cyrax and Sektor.

[mynameis]

mortal kombat wins. fatality

[yourfacehere]

I'd vote both but I can't do that.
As they both have interesting characters varied and numerous.
I'd personally like to see a remade Vega, ninja Smoke, and Scorpion in Joe form.....but I doubt it will happen.

But if I had to choose.....capcom.
If they would be willing to produce figures for them I'd think they'd also be willing to produce figures from other franchises like DevilMayCry and Resident evil. Course at the moment capcoms got their characters stretched across many a line these days.

At any rate there's no reason not to hope.

[Spirit-Iron_Lun]

Zombie thread alert

[sharke]

Zombie thread alert

indeed

[deaco]

Have anyone seen a shadowloo street fighter fortress misb?

[Dream]

Zombie thread again!


Deaco, I told you previously in a PM discussion we had that I had a MISB Shadowloo Fortress for sale.

PM me if you are interested.

[JR0d28]

Both

[snakeeyes22]

That's tough...
Street Fighter is far and away the better game, and they are all technically part of G.I.Joe. They also kind of deserve a second 3 3/4 chance more since the recycled parts worked a lot better for MK back then.

But Mortal Kombat characters would look pretty cool, probably bettet than SF, whose art style probably wouldn't translate as well.

So instead, I vote Soul Calibur, since I want all those swords.

[Artistflow]

i would like to have both but I like Street Fighter more .. this time they should give them better looking faces and their actual game uniform and oh yeah the should refrain from having those bulky shoulders and oblong bodies they give them now more realism and w/o the kick & punch action and make them different sizes, e.i chun li being the shortest..

[spiderpumpkin]

I'd buy them if they do a better job than the recent attempts.

[CobraOfficer999]

Street fighter.
