I always thought Shipwreck was cuban and Zap was puertorican.

I'm not counting Low Light out just yet. Didn't Hasbro also say they have no plans for Resolute versions of Destro and Roadblock even though we've seen pictures of them. I think they're desperately trying to keep secrets in the age of the Internet and they're failing miserably.
I don't see Low Light as a character they'd be dead set against producing. He's a fan favorite and wouldn't necessarily require a ton of new tooling. I'm still confident we'll get him. |

Anybody remember Battle Rangers? The proposed Sub-Team from 1995? Flint was going to lead it. Footloose was going to be on the team. I think it could have taken G.I. Joe back towards a much more military/tactical theme. Who knows, it might have saved the toy line. I'm just saying. I'm going to be really disappointed if we don't get that helicopter... Then again, I just really love helicopters.

I saw that! Did he use the True Heroes Blackhawk? He did a great job. I wonder how long it took him. Really excellent work. I'm kind of surprised he didn't use the True Heroes Chinook; it's a little more like the old Tomahawk.
That new Dragonfly really appeals to me. If it's an homage to the Apache or Comanche, that will be fine with me. I'm just excited about a new attack helicopter. I'll probably buy 4 of them. |

No, it's the BBI Blackhawk. It would be cool to see a repainted version of the True Heroes Chinook but it's not quite to scale. The BBI Blackhawk was a great choice though. Although this was never an actual GI Joe helicopter, I would love to see a Blackhawk painted in black and white arctic camo. I just think that would look sweet. Set it down beside an arctic Abrams or Bradley loaded with Snow Serpents!
Those BBI vehicles are amazing. They're almost too realistic for me. Joe vehicles were always just a little fantastic - just a little step away from completely realistic, especially later in the line. I kind of like having just a hint of fantasy in my Joe vehicles.

They did say there was no plans for Resolute figures at this point in time. I'm thinking we'll see the 5 that we've seen (SE, SS, Baroness, Destro and Roadblock) in a 5-pack with the DVD (which makes sense, with the figures already released and the scenes in the movie: SE and SS, Roadblock and Destro/Baroness).
Would love to see more but... Gung-Ho benefits from being an RoC look that matches his Resolute look. I like alot of the RoC stuff. Not the "pure" RoC as much as the repaints (I love the gray camo Airborne, and the Beachhead repaint). Hey Troynos, got your other short Joe story. I haven't been around much to comment but I'm liking the direction you're taking. Any plans to finish the ones you started? Are you going to use the Flagg as the HQ in your stories or a PIT like the one you're creating with that design software (which looks pretty awesome btw)? |

I totally agree with this. I have a couple of more realistic vehicles and they disappoint me; they just don't quite mesh well with the Joe aesthetic. I'd rather have a classic Joe Tomahawk than a super-realistic Blackhawk.
