I think your right because that "serpent" showed up a long time ago if I remember correctly.

It's not the same. Yes people have asked why we get so many of the same character, but we always got back "mold reuse allows us to make new molds and blah blah blah" but now that the last three waves have been leaked and we get two new characters out of them, that excuse is BS, because they're only making new molds for the movie line after that and the majority of the movie figures will be THE SAME DAMN CHARACTERS WE'RE ALREADY TIRED OF. Why should we swallow whatever they feed us when we have already been making it known that we're tired of these constant rehashes, and they still take our money to put towards more rehashes?
I only buy new versions of characters when they're an improvement, which is rare, and if they think that thunder-thighed shrunken head Duke is an improvement they have lost their minds. They tell us we have to wait till the movie is done just so we can have the line we've been supporting this whole time back and yet they want us to continue to drop money on this line that has revitalized Joes for them? The only people that they have a lock on for a Joe movie are Joe fans, everyone else has to be won over. You piss us off and drive us away and you've lost the only people you can rely on, and you better have a kick ass product to make up for it, and when that product is the same characters we're already tired of in movie form, you haven't accomplished anything. Get real. |

Questions:
1. This question was inspired by all the demand for Mindbender. Why not combine Mindbender with a “build a Joe or Cobra” clone. It could be themed around Mindbender building a clone from the DNA of Joe and Cobra members. The set could come with Mindbender, a medical table and equipment, and body parts of previous action figures. Release it now and it could be themed around Halloween and “Rocky Picture Horror Show”. Just picture Duke with the Baroness’ crotch and legs! 2. Could we get a Wet-Suit or Torpedo in a covert ops style SEAL look. Maybe in camo or black fatigues and a Muskrat style hat. You could do both guys with an inflatable raft or devil fish. I know those figures were first made to have a diver figure, but it would be cool to see them in a different look that’s accurate to SEALs missions and mastery of many talents, hence it’s acronym. 3. Comic pack of that Marvel issue where Ripcord and Zartan went at it. Maybe it’s me, but Zartan looks a lot cooler with a composite bow. 4. If we’re going to get more Snake Eyes figures, then could we at least get one where we can change the heads from masked to unmasked or one where the visor or goggles and mouthpiece come off revealing facial scars? I would also like to see Snake Eyes in a repaint or new jungle or desert fatigues. The jungle one could have rolled up sleeves revealing his tattoo and maybe a new take on his mask like his Vietnam Muskrat cap and a camo bandana covering his mouth or a Beachhead mask like in the comic pack coming up. Hey! Are you telling me Snake Eyes doesn’t dress for each mission depending on the environment? On that note, I never got Outback’s white t-shirt. Could the 25th issue get a khaki-colored shirt? 5. Playability on the new figures, OK, so I played with them—LOL. I love the detail and articulation, which is great for posing or doing what is called Sandplay (psychological term for using objects and small figures to probe the unconscious—ask Mindbender or Psyche Out if interested…Nuff said) Anyway, I think if I had these figures when I was younger I’d get frustrated with them. The guns and weapons seem to fall out too easily although the thumbs are more durable. The legs also make it tought to act out fights and stuff. I guess what I’m asking is there any way to make the hands hold better while keeping the flexibility? Still love the figures, though except for the women who seem less articulated and fragile. And why don’t Joes prefer blondes? 6. Will we be getting an original Duke and Flint with corrected arms and a fixed crotch for Duke? 7. Snake Eyes figure I’d love to see was AWESOMELY done by “Kissmekillme” depicting the WWII version from G.I. Joe/Transformers. But I think we all prefer to see as many of the original figures made since we all have our favorites for whatever reasons. 8. I would love to see a video of how you guys come up with figures from concept to finish. Has this been done? And when will we actually see new figures? |

Those SpyTroops themed figures from the other thread are most likely not the "Resolute" figures. I am sure the Resolute figures will look like the '09 animation, & will probably be "mostly" new sculpts if not all new. Hasbro will want to promote the animation properly, so don't be lead to believe that those leaked SpyTroops themed figures from China are the Resolute ones, those SpyTroops themed figs (Duke,CC,SE,SS) will be for comic packs/dvd packs or something esle most likely, not the upcoming singles, & I believe we have not seen any of the Resolute molds/figures yet, but will soon.

ok seriously, the main question should be " why do they keep making the same figures a million times over instead of making new figures"
come on, ask a question that is similer to this. who is with me ? |
