I don't know why Hasbro is allowing the comics, cartoons and movies to change the characters appearances. it is changing who these characters are.
I mean, the original Duke had a holster on his right leg, but for Resolute they changed it to his left leg. that's lazy. if they want to change these core character appearances that define who they are, why not make a brand new character with a holster on his left leg? |

Blatant changes like this touch my childhood in inappropriate places like my drunken Uncle on the fourth of July.

Er.. It seems to me that making a character a lefty instead of a righty doesn't change him THAT much.
Anyway, it's a different continuity, so it already IS a different character. |

I know. We should boycott. It's a slap in the face to us collectors and fans.

No kidding, that first 25th Beachhead was nearly unrecognizable without the 4 clips in his vest. I saw a loose figure of him and had to look him up on YoJoe.com to figure out who he was supposed to be.

I'm waiting for the Flint variant that comes with just one sequinned glove and crotchgrab grip.

So this is how all the 12" collectors felt when they came out with the 3 3/4" lines.
