Eh, well, i actually like the Resolute figures, it represents a new take on the joe-verse. I actually hated most of the 25th/me stuff, because it was a stale rehash of the 80s stuff. I don't experience nostalgia i guess, i dunno. Anywho, i don't collect the Res stuff because it's a dead universe. Hasbro doesn't have any intentions of revisiting it or expanding it, so i don't really want to get into it...that being said, i love the Res SE mold, and that Res Scarlett will make a great base for a custom Scarlett i wanna do, same with the Stormshadow.

See that's where I can agree somewhat with ya, I would love for Hasbro to invent some new characters, honestly the RES figs are just rehashes of old figs too. We need some new characters to liven things up!

I think I'm going to wait for the prices to come down on this one and try eBay. Who knows, maybe it'll show up at Ross. |

So, the POC figures are growing on me like a fungus. I believe the blame for this lies on both HasBro and GeneralsJoes. I am getting, fo sho, 2 beach heads, and possibly 4 Dukes. I will get the frostbite for the gear, but the fig will be come fodder. I wish i could get the Tatum-headed Jungle Duke, but alas... twas not to be. I am also hoping to get one of those Firefly figures, but i am not so sure about that helmet....I really want them to start showing up in force at retail. Who knows, i might even buy some of those Alleyviper retreads...

Yeah I'm going to have to cap army building to two figs per army builder for this line. I just don't have the money. But it might be tough for that badass Jungle Viper.

Yeah, i dunno, i think I will probably maintain squads of 4 or 8 depending on cash flow and coolness of the figure.

I'm actually not loving that Jungle viper that much, so i might not buy it at all. the vinyl siding ghille suit kinda kills it, and he's sorta bland and frail without that.rifle is cool though

You know we got Nightfox and that Strike and Jungle Viper. And although Skydive is a remake of an older character, he wasn't all the known. But what's so awesome about the PoC line is the insane amount of accessories!!! I wasn't motivated to purchase RoC stuff brand new (and at full retail) simply because the toys seemed so uncreative and unmotivated. The attempts made (like the Neo-Viper and clear-mask CC) wreaked of fail. But PoC has me anxiously waiting for the new Dusty and Lowlight to hit the pegs.
