you shouldn't feel guilty. If you see some you like then get those. But once you start buying, its hard to stop. I thought i'd only buy 2... and now have like 14. It's starting to grow on me.

simply rediculous. your choice not to buy roc doesn't mean you don't support gi joe any less than the fool that goes out tossing money at anything and everything roc. do you buy the rapid rollers junk toys, the kids bed sets or the costumes? you can't buy it all, choices will be made, lines drawn, etc.
buy what you like, not because of some irrational sense of duty to the toy line. there is a reason hasbro is going to plaster gi joe on everything they can, it's because not everyone will like all the junk they will be hawking, just like every other movie toy line. role play toy swords, role play costumes, combat heros, back packs, lunch bags, role play flash lights, role play pda blaster, role play binoculars, digital headset camera, removeable and reusable stickers, 100 piece puzzles, nintendo ds skins, role play wrist blaster, water blaster and wrist watch, battleship strategy game, monopoly game, walkie talkies, skate board, boy bmx bike.... this is just some of the stuff toys r us carries. you still have all the other retail outlets. i'm not buying the wii mote gi joe covers, doesn't make me any less of a gi joe fan. be judicious with your money, not foolish.

I still say they do not look "G.I.Joe" enough for my tastes. I have bought 3 ROC figs, and the PIT. The Pit is awesome. It really is THAT cool. But the figures just dont do it for me. I chuckle when I see that Cobra Commander. Its SO rediculous looking.
The figures I did buy are pretty garbage, except the RA Scarlett. I do like that one. The Cobras look plain ol' STUPID compared to a classic blue shirt or viper. Shipwreck. I bought that one, and everyone was going nuts over how cool he is..I just dont see it. The drybrushing is nice to bring out details, but it should be done in a way that dosent look like a chinese 3 year old did it in a toy sweat shop. Very sloppy. The "heavy Duty" figures look like retarded gorillas. One of the things that is just BUGGING ME TO HELL...is looking at reviews from people that say "..AND he comes with TONS of equipment!!!" Really? aside from the PIT trooper, (still havent found one..) most of these figs come with the same amount of stuff as any 25th figure. some come with less. I DONT count the rediculous spring weapons. REALLY people...can you STOP saying "he comes with TONS of equipment" when that dosent seem to be the case?!?!? These things are WAY overrated. I collect MOC joes,The carded figures ROC figs are not even worthy of collecting. they look horrible compared to the standard carded joe, the way they used to do it. This roc thing, is a huge bandwagon that I think most jumped on just because its the only joe stuff out. If someone put out a GOOD, military figure again, I would buy them, and not feel guilty about not spending money on Joe at all. I keep searching for Pit troopers...I DO want those, but all I see are wave 1 peg warmers..they are EVERYWHERE...the stuff isnt moving like 25th figs. Sure you had a few peg warmers in that line, but it wasnt an ENTIRE WAVE sitting on pegs...

If you don´t like the toys, it´s okay, don´t buy them.. there´s nothing wrong with that .. But if you like the toy and can afford it, why don´t buy? Just because they are not reshaped 80s toys anymore.. this sure don´t make sense for me. |

ummm..NO..if you think its offensive then dont read it. The RA HD figure..looks..like, a retarded gorilla. the eye is crooked, the arms are mounted waay too low. You can turn that statment into something else, but im simply saying what it looks like to me. and I see a retarded gorilla.
