Requiem for a dream and I'm gonna get you sucka would like to have a word with you... As for action features, I really doubt they'll have any. Most if not all of the more popular lines today don't have any sort of action feature. I could see a Build a something feature, but i think "with Karate chop action" is a thing of the past.

Honestly, I don't care, because I probably won't get them. Not because of some "OMG it's not the originals!!!" thing (I greatly prefer the Transformers movie figs to the G1 stuff (except for Starscream)).
Mainly because I've seen the character designs, and "Generic Leather Fetish Wear" went out when it was mocked to hell and back in the X-men movie. No thanks. Snake Eyes, however, I will be buying. No exception.

I doubt it. Action features have never done well with gijoes. Remember the VVV figures like sword slashing Storm Shadow? Shelf warmers. Yet the wave 4 version, which had an o ring and no gimmicks, sold far better. Basically no one wants nunchaku wielding Duke, or stand here while I swing my bo at you Cobra ninja Slice or whatever. It hasn't done well before for joes, didn't do well with Star Wars, and has yet to show up in Indiana Jones, present Star Wars figures, and the modern era joe line, so I doubt we will see it in the movie line. I think the vehicles will have missle launchers, and maybe electronics, but thats about as far as I think Hasbro will go, and those gimmicks wouldn't surprise anyone.

I don't think these figs will have extreme action features, but they will have "something"....
I also see these figures all looking very similar especially in their acceleration suits. variety is something i do not see this movie line having. |

I can totally see the movie figures (which are an attempt to bring kids back to GI Joe, and not just collectors) having lots of action features. Here's hoping none on the figures themselves, but I think theres an extremely high likelyhood of spring-loaded weapons.

You know i'm glad i'm not as negative as the most of you are. I mean come on. How can you sit there and say the line probably won't have variety because they all wear black suits. That tired old saying is getting so worn out. We've already been told that they wear multiple suits so that argument makes no sense. Also we've seen one bad shot of what we think is a viper. SO let's all jump on the bandwagon and say this line is going to suck. So you think they are gonna come out with one of each character in a power suit and one cobra viper huh? Please have a little faith. The same people who brought you this incredible line is doing the movie line so i have no doubt we are gonna get some awesome figures. Maybe not all of them but i'd say at least 4 waves or so of cool stuff maybe more. We haven't seen any shots of cobra commander, zartan or any other troop types so just wait and see.

Its the vehicles that will most likely get my money in the Movie Line regardless if its all GM vehicles. Plus there is supposed to be a Cobra/Destro Submarine Has Hasbro said the Movie Line will be in 3.75 scale? I know it makes sense because most casual people are familiar with GI Joe in that scale, and the vehicles are more cost effective in that scale, but I just get a feeling that we will see 5-6 inch scale figures, like Spiderman 3, FF2, Hulk Movie, Iron Man Movie. That scale is more eye catching in the toy aisle to impulse buyers who don't know much about the source but have recently seen the movie |

I guessing that there will be enough different characters and different outfits that they won't have to rely on action features. Some of those movie lines that do (Superman Returns, etc.) must make as much variety out of few characters as possible.
