The dumb thing about this... guys guys, you know MARS, right? Villains are coming! Cobra is what people want, no offense to Destro's stuff. Same thing with the Rise of Cobra. |

I was waiting for something like that.
No matter what Hasbro does, or how well they do it, they’re only going to ever please about 25% of Joe fandom at best. Make new versions? Classic lovers hate them. Make Sunbow accurate figures? Comic lovers hate them. Sure there’s some that will change their minds, but they’re quickly shouted down by those that will write off a whole line just because they don’t like one figure, or the first snippet of information they see about it. Let's just stop worrying about what other people think and discuss the figs. What I put there was just an example of a complete sci-ci/hero getup. I think the problem with these new Joes that some people have is that there isn't an unified theme. It looks like they went for original looks but the threw some splashes of sci-fi on top that stand out a lot because they are not part of that original design. Notice how pretty much everyone loves SE? It's because he has an original theme with no random red bits and gold armor. They should've gone all original theme or a new sci-fi theme and not smash those two together. |

GIJoe ARAH was always sci-fi military fantasy right from the start. Not sure where this idea that its been anything else comes from.

Exactly. Look at Flash and Grand Slam from '82. Have you ever seen soldiers wear uniforms like that?

Dorkside has the first wave including the 2 not yet revealed (I think they were Snake Eyes and Destro from the leaked lists?) up for preorder.

There was even a character named Sci-Fi.

Glad we live in a free capitalistic society. I for one don't like their version of "growth", just my opinion and glad some of you are excited for them and willing to throw hard-earned money at them. I'm a little bummed they're not releasing classic versions, but I also don't have to buy these, and the money I'll be saving from not buying these will go a long way towards something else. People vote with their wallets, it's commerce and a gamble for Hasbro but the way it is. Like I said before, I personally don't think it'll pay off for them, b/c I'm sure Hasbro has the same motto as you, "welcome growth or give up on the line altogether." OK, I give up on the line. Don't want these iterations laying around my house messing up the good memories of GI Joe I've had these past 35 years. Just my opinion that I'm sure all of you younglings will slam me for.

If people are talking about the new Duke, RB, and Scarlett who have an original theme look with some craziness on top why do people reply with characters that are not Duke, and RB, and Scarlett? Did Sci-fi look weird? yes, yes he did, but he is not Duke, right? Maybe if the name of this series was more descriptive people would have less of an issue. I instead of Classified it should've been called GI Joe Video Games Force. Then people would've been expecting something else. You know, like if you hear Tiger Force you expect stripes? |

I actually prefer the Sigma 6 cartoon way over the DIC toon, so I kind of dig that in some respects this takes a few things from Sigma 6.
