I'm definitely not an "extremist" fan. I'll try just about anything once. I'm more of a Hasbro whore if anything. The only thing I didn't buy were the Predacon crap, Extreme and Sgt. Savage. I did not like the "Reloaded" series but I bought a few. I was always thankful for America's Elite. I still get a kick out of seeing random characters on the pages anywhere. However I think one of the things that I like most is seeing new characters. That's why I don't see the need in totally reinventing a character. I think I would prefer if they retired. (Or Died)
I use to think that it was meant to go that way. And just like the saga starts with Snake-Eyes and Stalker it eventually gives way to Beachhead and Rampage. I know there is no way Snake Eyes should die but it looks like Stalker is getting the boot. Last edited by Loose Cannon; 12-11-2008 at 10:24 AM.. |

I'm a G.I. Joe fan. If it's Joe, I'll try it out. If don't like it, won't buy it, but I'll still support the franchise.
I guess I just realized long ago that sometimes things need to change and/or be updated. There's all sorts of factors that we, the fans, are unaware of in deals with going from toys to movie, toys to comics, etc.. And being unaware of those, we don't quite know why some moves are made. Would it have made more sense to make a new female communications officer instead of using the Dial-Tone name? Probably. But we don't know what the deal is between Hasbro and IDW on creating new characters. IDW may be prohibited because of copyright and ownership issues. I know the old Marvel deal was that anything new created in the comics was owned by Marvel. So Hasbro, not wanting to lose out on potential new figures, may have worked something into it where IDW can't create brand new characters without Hasbro's okay and so have to change up names/sexes/etc.. But I don't know. And I guess, since I don't know the full details, I'm not going to go nuts about it because I don't know the reasoning behind it. Now if it comes out and IDW can create anything/anyone new they want, and just felt like making a new female Joe without making a new Joe, then my feelings may change.

Yeah you're probably right. It's all about the toys in the end. I wonder if Merchandise deals for things other than toys are in the works and further complicating matters. Like Yo Joe Cola from RC or something.

Don't know if we talked about this or not, but Wild Bill has a very interesting filecard.
It reads "specialized training: classified" Is he the only one like that? I know Snake-Eyes has alot of "classified" on his filecard, but Wild Bill's is the only other seen like that. And what would be classified about any specialized training he received?

I'm thinking Wild Bill performed alot of Black Ops missions in Southeast Asia.

Yeah, so what training did he receive that would be considered classified?

Don't some characters have classified weapon qualifications as well? Maybe not the file cards, but I think in the Special Missions vol 1 TPB.
