Whats not to love about a new Night Raven or a New 2 Seat SHARC?
The Baroness looks good, has some great weapons and a kick ass SUV. It hard to explain but the Armor is "Special" and will be involved in a nice downtown/city battle We get to see 2 Destro's with 2 different "Mask" styles. There is a 1 on 1 Sword Battle with Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow that's 10 minutes long and while they are fighting a security type of system is trying to kill them with lasers. You get to see the PIT and "Other Joes" who do not have roles are training in the background. How many original figures do you think they can pull from that background? The Black Uniforms that everybody keeps talking about......... NOT IN THE FILM 100% Of THE TIME. How many times does this need to be explained. Everybody just has those Images stuck in their head. Its a back story to most of the major players including Zartan, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Duke, The Baroness, Destro and Cobra Commander! 3 Major Battles with Vehicles and assaults on bases. Land Sea and Air........ What more can we ask for from Paramount and Hasbro? How about 175 million to make it work................ And I know that the suits are used only for a short time. Personally, I don't care for all of this CGI and visual effects stuff. I'd rather have a movie with an intriguing story with substance. Sab |

I don't think its to bad looking, but I don't know if I'll pick this one up or not. I think I'll hold finial judgment until I see the released version. I do think we will see some pretty awesome stuff come out of the movie line though. By the way Destro, keep your post coming man. I always feel like we're getting a little more information every time you post.

DESTRO, i'm not meaning to be a hater at all. i understand that you are excited about this film and the subsequential toy line.
but i'm not really excited about toys from a movie that i have no interest in seeing. i own all of the generation one transformers, but i don't own one figure from the last movie...even with their "ultra cool spring loaded automatic transforming" features. *SPOILER ALERT!!!* i don't see any reason to be excited about destro's nano-technology nanite facial infection "mask" figure. or the early 20s angsty super soldier drugged up "cobra commander" figure without a mask or hood. i am an OLD timey joe collector. i have all the original joes i owned as a kid, and since have found duplicates of those figures in fair to near mint condtion to flesh out and complete my joe collection. the 25th anniversary line has really excited even casual collectors about g.i.joe. i have 2 friends that owned a couple joes when we were kids that have been so excited about the 25th ann collection that they have 2 of every figure. they even have doubles of figures i haven't even found on pegs yet!!! that kind of enthusiasm is awesome. and i would HATE.......no, i would LOATHE for a stinker of a moive to kill that line because of a bunch of peg warming figures. look what happened to the MOTU figures when the cartoon got pulled!! |

I'm not 100% sure but I think it was more Mattel's bad case ratio that spelled the doom for the MOTU line. I'm sure another 'Tanker could elaborate more

I actually really like how this looks. I could definitely see myself picking up a couple of these.
