The packaging is bland, theres no room for bios on the cards and WHY don't they just cal em iron grenadiers...Mars troopers makes em sound like stange invaders or something from mars. Not only that these things look like something outta a sci-fi channel movie or bad 60's sci-fi drive in feature. So far all the movie stuff is exactly as I had been expecting...bad. |

with a removable helmet.
I can dig these troopers. Id have to see them up close to make a final decision though

| | Banned Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: classified Posts: 137 | I've often wondered... if Hasbro ever packaged crap and slapped the words GIJoe on the box if it would it sell? Guess we're about to find out.
Should be interesting to see if these clog shelves after the initial "gotta have everything with a GIJoe logo" crowd satisfies their needs much like the revision waves and countless repaints in the 25th line have, and the actual consumer base picks up on it or not. | |

If that is the case the costumes in the film look way better than the toys modeled after them. Those helmets on the figs still have not grown on me, but the live action pics look cool. | |

I can dig these troopers. Id have to see them up close to make a final decision though | I love the new design, and I don't normally like the kind of ultra slick designs that Hollywood puts out these days. But these have enough grit that I'm satisfied.
I agree with you. For now, I see them as custom fodder. I'd love to see them with a bulletproof vest or something. Thermals aren't good protection. As we know, both IGs and Vipers are heavily armored. | |

| | Iron Grenadier Join Date: Sep 2006 Posts: 508 | wow, when I saw the figures I though oh crap, but those live action mask/helmet combos are frackin sick! Plus the red one actually looks a bit like an IG. How come they cant make a better action figure based on it? | |
