Does anyone think the movie toys will have action features?

[Gijoekid@hotmail.com]

Hey guys, just as the title states. I for one am trying to be otimistic about the movie figures. I actually think they could turn out to be really cool. The only thing that worries me is action features. I don't mind an occasional spring loaded missle launcher but I would hate for them to start putting action features back into the figures such as a spring loaded punch/kick ect... I truly hope hasbro has moved past this. What do you all think?

well i dunno...i think the action feature thing has died out but knowing hasbro im sure they'll probably try it at some point...but don't worry the movie line is gonna suck regardless of action features. :>

Action features didn't do to well for the SW figures recently, feedback from Q&A's wasn't real positive it sounded like. I think it will be more like the recent clone wars line and be full of spring-loaded weapons (maybe.... i can't even really see them doing that, but who knows... only Hasbro knows!)

I sure don't want my toys able to punch and kick.

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.

being a long time X-Men comic book collector I thought the X-Men costumes were very well done. I am a tad skeptical in regards to the Joe and Cobra costumes, case in point, StormShadow. I didn't like the preview of his uniform. Something in my gut is telling me that this movie is going to be as action packed as Street Fighter and I really hope that the movie proves my gut wrong. I mean comeon!!!! Marlon Wayans as ripcord? Who didn't do their homework? This also hits a nerve as now I have some conflict because I may have to break one of my movie rules which is... "I don't see movies with any of the Wayans Brothers" rule. Heck I think I would be more accepting if they casted Jimmie Walker from the TV series "Good Times" and he screamed D-Y-N-O-M-Y-T-E while jumping out of the back of the skystriker which is actually the 747 from Soul Plane.

I dunno but this scene right here i can picture in a mel brooks parody.....anyone else?

I think they probably will have spring loaded features as some of the recent Star Wars figures had them and Hasbro is wanting to appeal to a younger crowd.
So they might not, but I could very easily see them doing it.
It doesn't matter to me what they do with them, I'll see the movie and am still optimistic about it, but I will not buy the toys as they are not joe for me.
5 repaints of Duke with Chase Tatum's head and 3 repaints of Marlan Wayans in a black power suit that happens to say GI JOE Ripcord--no thanks--

That would be the same as if they molded a Danny Devito head and put a hat on it and called him SGT Slaughter. If Hasbro says its so and so, then it IS so and so. Right....

God, I hope not. That's what your imagination is for. And any additional reason for a single figure price increase will put me out of the collecting business. I do think the figures will be way beter than the movie, though.
