Besides probably Snake Eyes and maybe Storm Shadow(its hard to make them not cool) I'm thinking the movie figures will suck. I mean nothing to this point has got me excited about the movie and the overall costume design of the movie reminds me of the way they remade the X-men suits for the movie. That design will translate into the figures and therefore they will totally suck. Can't you imagine seeing like a billion Dennis Quaid Hawk's on the pegs! Just imagining it is making me quesy.
Think of that ugly "Mutt Williams" action figure with green snake. Think of those Clone Wars peg warmers that are clogging the aisles. |

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 hope not, but Hasbro loves to do it to push the 'play value' for kids, so I don't doubt it.

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.

i doubt it. the figures arent big enough. they have firing weapons or some gimick though.
But i doubt the figures themselves will. |

No. It's very doubtful Hasbro would want to spend some thousands of dollars making all new figure molds or retooling existing ones to accomodate an action feature. They only make parts that they can reuse more than once.

I really don't know. However I figure for the 3 3/4 line that we will probably see some spring loaded "firing" weapons. There has been several people bring up the Batman,Hulk, and Iron-Man movie figures. You have to keep in mind the scale of those figures to the scale of the 3 3/4 inch figures. A larger scale gives you more room to add all the "action feature" stuff. Not saying that we won't see a sword swinging Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow or what not. I really hope not but you never know. Anyway, thats just my 2 cents.

what i am looking foward to are the vehicles as well, is that pic of ripcord up above of him going into a dropship or something like that? if so that would be a great toy to have. but it might just be a repainted clonewars gunship.

I doubt we will see action attack or spring loaded gimmicks on our figures. For one thing they have never been that successful. The primary reason is that one way or another, either the sculpt or articulation will be compromised, in some sad cases, both(Ninja Force Storm Shadow, VVV wave 1 Storm Shadow). Especially in the VVV line, the action attack figures w/tcrotch were the shelf warmers. You couldn't even get main guys like Duke or Cobra Commander to fly off the shelf with those features.
Action features have been absent from 3-3/4" joes for 2 years now, I don't see it coming back. |
