If this is how the movie figures are going to look, we've got another Indy line on our hands. Baroness is bad but tolerable if you squint, but Breaker is absolutely horific - and to make matters worse you know they'll be using that same mold for just about every other joe (as theyall wear the same thing).
What disappoints me the most is we'll likely never see the rest of the classics updated (at least for 5 or more years) after this line tanks. |

At least the Indy line looked like the characters...

It would be a real crying shame if this is how the GI Joe line ended. Hasbro could still hypothetically recover from this possible disaster if they still made all of the upcoming waves contain at least 3 or 4 classic figure instead of all movie figures.
I won't give up all hope until the trailer is officially released and I see that with my own eyes. At that point either a miracle willl happen or reality will come crashing through the wall for me.

Wow. This crap makes me pine away for for the days of Ninja Force and Star Brigade.
I would rather shell out money for the G.I. Joe Manimals, than buy these figures. I'm sure there will be a few glorious peanuts in the turd that this line looks to become, but I'm afraid to see what this is going to do to the rest of the line. |

WELL its a "Chronicle of an Announced Death". WHILE I'M HAPPY GI JOE IS BACK I THINK ITS ENOUGH HAVING UPDATES OF CLASSIC FIGURES. EVERYTHING ELSE IS EVENTUALLY DESTINED TO VANISH SINCE NOTHING WILL BE AS POPULAR AS CLASSIC CHARACTERS IN THEIR CLASSIC COSTUMES. THE BEST SELLING FLINT WILL ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES; THE BEST DUKE, A GREEN BANDOLEER; THE BEST SCARLETT, A TAN LEOTARD AND SO FORTH.
THESE OTHER STUFF AND VARIATIONS ARE FINE BUT THEY ARE FOR A LIMITED GROUP OF FANS. HOPE TO BE WRONG, BUT NO REINVENTION OF GI JOE TODAY WILL HAVE SUCH A SUCCESS AS IN THE 80'S, NOT EVEN WITH ONE MOVIE OR THREE. THE BEST SELLING FIGURES WILL BE THE UPDATED VERSIONS OF THE CLASSIC ONES, AS LONG AS THEY ARE DESIGNED TRUE TO THE ORIGINALS. WHO HASN'T BOUGHT AN AIRBORNE YET? |
