I just wish I could get my hands on 1 crimson guard.All of you who have one or more should just be happy to have him.I search everyday and stop at least one or two stores minimum and come up empty handed.So the color is not perfect.At least hasbro is making way more figs then originally planned.

Not to get off topic but I have an extra, if you want it I'd trade it for a MOC Serpy or Officer.

Even the DTC Crimson guard retained half of the orginal color. The 2008 Grimson Guard is a pale rust color reddish brown. When compaired to the other Crimson figures it doesn't fit in and looks like crap IMO. What I'm saying is there is a history there, they sould have retained that element above all on this figure. All my be not lost though, the wave 3 comic pack at least looks to have the right color. If it does I will easily buy at 30-40 of them. If not just 1.
So if your listening hasbro make the CG in the correct color. (Actually, I'm technically lying because I do have some older Joes next to my 25th right now, but they're off to the side and not "part" of it.) In addition to that, the new CG has an entirely different helmet anyway, so what's the point in trying to get him to "match" the earlier ones? The other thing is, I guess...You start with complaining about the colours. Next thing it's the accessories. Then it's the lack of o-ring. Then it's the fact that they have double-jointed knees. Then it's the size. And before you know it, the moulds are revised to the point where they're 'exactly like ARAH moulds.' And that's not what I want. |

Don't put words in my mouth. My only gripe is with the color of the CG. The helmets on the 85, 91, 03-05 CG's didn't match either but they were all crimson, so you don't have much of a point there. In a line where the characters are going back to there vintage apperances they shouldn't have screwed with the Crimson Guard. That's all, everything else is just peachy.

No, I'm saying the new CG is a maroon rust color not the "crimson" it should be. Check out the rest of the thread-LOL
