I hope Hasbro doesn't waste resources on this, instead focus on the original joes. but out of sheer morbid curiosity, I wonder who they'd put up for it. possibly Paris Hilton could get her very own Cobra: Skank/Coke Whore action figure.
there really isn't anyone out there I'd support, with the exception of the Misfits, they'd make a great addition to the Drednok ranks.
there are some funny/crazy people on this forum, who I'm sure could come up with other suggestions. |

Aside from that, I don't know...I can't really think of a modern 'celebrity' that has any sort of tie to the Joe world. I think they'll save that sort of stuff for the movie line. | |

While I can almost understand Sgt. Slaughter, and Maybe Roddy Piper, could someone explain The Fridge to me? His figure alone means that ANYONE could be a GI Joe.

Chuck Norris? that's just not fair. If he is on the Joe team then the rest of the team can retire. If he is on Cobra then the free world falls. | |

| | Anybody out there? Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: West Jordan, Utah Posts: 1,710 | A "typical GI Joe scalper" figure... it's a 42 year old balding fat guy that still lives with his mom and has a wrist brace on his right arm because he's on eBay all day.
(A joke, no offence to actual 42 year old fat guys living with their moms.)
