What baffles me ( unless there is a SM Sgt Smasher reference in the “ Wrong stuff “ episode , is why call him Sgt Smasher to begin with? The arah figure was a Slaughter , so why build us up like that for such a twist? I dont get the build up, the cause for suspense, and mystery for such a let down? The figure itself of Smasher looks fine and im all for new figures from the Sunbow series, but its a disapointment in the sence of telling your kids they are going to the “ land of mickey” on the family vacation in Florida implying your taking them to Disney World and on the big day you reveal that they are being treated a artist gallery of mouse art.

Um...well...I agree about this boob Sgt. Smasher. Sorry for everyone but this figure is a nasty nightmare for a lot of people hoping on hope. This is a very lazy take on this sub teams commander. Should not have even messed with it unless you could use Sgt Slaughter. But to Fun Pubs credit they did a superb job with the other figurines.
I just had to give my 2 cents worth on this. People pay way to much money on these sets to see it fall apart the way this set did. Let's just hope to God Hasbro kicks ass in 2020 with the movie and really kicks our asses with figures' and vehicle's. I really want to see GIJOE outlast our 80s generation. I'm thinking COBRA is gonna keep growing and GIJOE will have to stick around to kick some terrorist ass my friends. So grab a beer or a drink and let's raise a toast and give out a rebel yell of YO JOE!!! Good night all and I will see you all on the battlefield known as life. |

I like the head on Smasher, but hate the body. and like others have said, thats not Sgt Smasher. They should have atleast went with a different name.
Anyhow, the bad news for me is that this means I have to finally buy another SDCC Sgt Slaughter to customize in Marauder's colors. Was really hoping the club would use SDCC Slaughter's body but with a different head. Oh well. |

It's amazing to me that Brian and Co. actually looks at these figures, such as Sgt Smasher, and come to the conclusion that we will like these. Or maybe, in reality, Brian loves to hear the sound of the 3 3/4 inch fans weep and gnash their teeth.

Could you imagine how many heads would if the club were to release Marauder Slaughter as an attendee exclusive? I doubt it could happen as I do not believe any legal status has changed but no one would put it past the club to pull that kind of nonsense.

You know what I just realized about this new character? He could potentially be an easy "replacement" Sergeant Slaughter in future Joe media properties. I was never a big fan of Slaughter in the comics, but he was alright, he was super popular. He wasn't necessarily a BAD character to me. I could see future Joe projects writing him in. Slaughter has a VERY well defined personality for obvious reasons. Sergeant Smasher could easily be written in that voice and just "be" Sergeant Slaughter's character and role in comics or cartoons.
Yeah, I'm still hoping for another 30 years of Joe comics (and maybe I'll finally watch a cartoon besides Resolute one day).
