Why does everyone hate the new G.I.Joe repaints and the mixing of different body parts to create new figures. Is this not what Hasbro has done in the past. I can remember back in the late '80s and early '90s when that was just about all they did.
I don't have a problem with them doing that, as long as the figure they are creating looks good and is correct. I say bring them on, and I will buy them. I am just happy to see 3-3/4" Joes on the pegs of the stores again. Thanks, Lt.Ford |

my only problem is that we want new figs (i) i'm not ready nor really care for tf or pp lets get new figures then start with repaints. I don't mind them reusing body parts but it comes a time when you just need to use a new mold my 2 pennies!

I don't mind the re-used body parts and re-paints, at all since that's been a part of Hasbro since the beginning. What I don't appreciate is the lazyness in creating new head sculpts. After the original 13, how often did they really use the same heads anymore? If they can make so many different Star Wars healdsculpts even among the Clonetrooper armies, why can't they give Cutter, or Leatherneck, or Grand Slam their own head?

I want the rest of TF and PP, and since they're cheap and easy to do I don't see why Hasbro hasn't given us more of these already. With that said, Ninja-Ku, Ninja Viper, the ugly single carded versions of Ripper and Toch...these are the figures that are bumming me out.

^ by all means do Tf and Pp but not now, there are way too many figs that haven't been done, leave the special unit stuff for when the time is right! I would rather have Muskrat, Tunnelrat, Big Boa, Dr Mindbender etc instead of all these repaints

Yeah but straight up repaints of existing figures aren't what's holding up the characters you listed. The "Good" repaints would only replace the "bad" repaints. The reason we don't have Dr. Mindbender, Tunnelrat etc is because somebody at Hasbro thought we should get Matt Trakker and Wraiths instead.

I don't mind that they are reusing parts, I'm just annoyed which parts they choose to reuse. like major bludd with the zartan chest instead of using the hiss tank driver chest, which would have made the figure better
