Wow. Expecations were dashed when I saw the Snowmobile way back when. Dashed more when I saw the sinle carded figure blandness. Then somewhat lifted when I saw the Raven. Lifted a bit more so when I saw how cool Duke actually looks in his camo gear.
Then my expecations were just smashed to crap when I saw the PIT. I had no idea it would be an unfolding truck... what is that? I'm sure there are things to like about it, and yay for the kiddies getting massive exposure to Joe, but this is a major let down for me. Here's hoping for that dang cool Snake-Eyes figure. Hasbro, are you listening? I know it's probably already decided on, but hear me out: Sideshow Snake-Eyes. 3.75 inches tall. That is all.

Wow just wow....That is not a Pitt, the pitt is not a mobile base! Thats the mobile command center or a rolling tunder with a winnebago stuck on the top and Robin Williams driving it...., here we go again with the swapping of names so the kiddies don't get confused and they can really send those of us who wish they would leave well enough alone over ther cliff of no return by putting names on things that are not even close to what they are trying to say they are....history is being re-written here for the future of GI JOE...if it is successufl the old vintage styles are gone for good guys...I hope your happy with that direction....

I'll give it to hasbro. Tough economic times and they manage to not layoff workers...bringing the Nerf gun designers in to build the Night Raven...pure genius, and really shows the level of commitment in keeping the economy from further downward spiral. Every little bit helps.

I new the movie line was going to probably be bad.......but this is down right offensive. People can say what they want about it being for kids but as I remember it, I loved the 1982 - 1985 when I WAS A KID! My 4 year old son loves all the old GI Joe toys I have. So it being for kids is no excuse as far as I’m concerned. It's garbage. And I'm not going to try and convince myself otherwise just because it's "GI Joe".
Sorry to come off mean and all but I am just very disappointed. They could have been so cool. They could have brought GI Joe back to being big time again. someone mentioned that it looks like a boat on top on a flatbed, it sure does. if you take the small wings off the raven, you got a nerf gun right there. |

For everyone concerned about the handle on the Raven, i'm pretty sure it said it was removable in one of the official listings we saw this week somewhere...
Resolute Snakes may be your best bet at this point...

I'm willing to give the MCC (not the PIT IMHO) a chance.
