Would you buy the October Guards if released for the 25th line? I was just curious since many people are clamoring for the release of the OG joe's and whatnot. Well, hate it or love it..the October Guards are OG. They were first introduced in the Marvel GI Joe comics in issue 6. I for one would love to see these guys released. Maybe a five pack or something. What about you guys?

Being old enough to have purchased the 80's Joes off the pegs as a youngster, I certainly should be chastised mightily for saying this, but I'm not overly familiar with Oktober Guard. Of course I remember them from the comics (I don't believe they ever made it to the cartoon), but again, my familiarity with them has dulled with the passage of time.

That being said; hell's yeah I'd purchase a set of these guys- single carded or box set!!!!

I would hazard a guess that Red Star is Hasbro's way of testing the waters.

Personally I voted "maybe." I definitely don't think they should be this early on in the line's run, but later on I could see myself getting them.

However, like Kwinn and others, I see them as secondary to series/comic Joes and Cobras, and as such would much rather see them down the line after a good 60%-80% of the Joes and Cobras have been released.

Yeah, They were on the cartoon a few times. Diana had black hair and dressed in pink. but horrorshow looked the same.

I would buy them without a doubt. I Loved them in the comic.
