One thing I really think is missing, and I feel like may help bring them back, are the birthplaces. It's like rooting for your favorite ball team when you have a Joe from your state. And Delaware still has no Joes.
At least the Marvel Universe figures come with a little dossier, which is the equivalent. Why can't they do that? I'll be die-hard index card style fan, but at least the Baseball filecards were better than this.

Especially with the team going international now.
They're missing a great chance to really do some good stuff with the cards. Show international training, units, ranks, birthplaces. Really give the Joes some identity.

Yeah Samuel L Jackson is too old, but very few actors have the same presence as Jackson. He's one bad mofo no matter how you slice it. I think Stalker who is one of the most popular characters needs a make over big time. Ripcord is just a waste of a Character to me. Especially since they made him basically a Stalker character with no authority even though he outranks the rest of the Joe team in ROC.

Might as well get Will Smith. He already bulked up and he's a way better actor. Way better. Plus he hasn't done a good war movie yet. (Personally I can't put a guy into my top favorite actors until he's pulled off a war movie, and not Independence Day, although he wasn't bad in that. )
Plus I'd be all over it if he was the main star instead of DUKE And yeah, anyone as a lead but Duke. Hell, I'd like to see things from Hawk's perspective, Flint, Stone, or even dare I say it, yes I do, Falcon. Duke is far too overexposed.

Are there any stats on the height and stature of Recon Marines. Afaiu, e.g. the SAS and Delta Force tend to be made up of mainly average sized (or as one ex-SAS member described them, wiry) members as it's more about endurance than size and strength. I guess the same would be true of the Recon Marines?
Just thinking that Sgt. Slaughter would then be a serious outlier on the curve (fair enough, I'm sure it happens). Army Special Forces - those guys are BIG. As part of their job every day, they life weights. Small/average size guys are the exception. Surprizingly, they can also run fast. These guys are athletes. I've seen them run at Ft. Bragg - it's like watching a group of Vikings come blazing by you. It's impressive Eric Haney said that Delta was pretty average sized. Not a lot of BIG guys, but there were a few. Endurance is the main thing - I expect is similar in the SAS.

It's not the same head. The caps are very different. I'm using that Zartan head for my Low-Light Customs (all 4 of them). Ic Storm's head has a watch cap, but it's got a bill built into the hat.
