100% . I was so confused over Air Raid. We have a Air Raid already, which is strange. I am not sure what the ROC vehicle driver turned POC "stand in" idea comes from.
The other problem when using very specific gear, the line falls into redundancy really quickly. I would rather have some vests and specific weapons stay to specific characters.

Funny, I talked to the folks from FunPub for about 15 minutes about Air Raid and their take was that they needed a pilot for the Skystriker. Since none of the original Sky Patrol members were pilots or officers AND since Air Raid used Franklin Talltree's name they asked Hasbro to use that code name for a new character. I know that GI Joe has pretty much ignored rank but it made sense to me to do this. It was pretty fascinating to hear how the whole process works with Hasbro.

The other problem when using very specific gear, the line falls into redundancy really quickly. I would rather have some vests and specific weapons stay to specific characters. A better solution would to have Renegades ripcord join Sky Patrol to circle back continuity or just do a full Sky Patrol repaint of Sky Dive and continue that character. Example of redundancy. Sabertooth, came with Recondos gun and then Recondo came with well Recondos other gun... Range Viper FSS was included with too many of Shadow Trackers very signature and personal weapons. Its almost as if you have more then 10 GI JOEs together you start to see allot of repetition. I was able to score the bagged set, the heli vipers and the specialist two pack but my wallet was too torn up when contemplating Freefall and Airraid. But I do like new characters and I do like adding more African American GI JOEs to my roster. So time and money will tell. http://www.yojoe.com/images/resize/w...e/17/27866.jpg http://www.yojoe.com/images/resize/w...09/airraid.jpg POC Skydive is a repaint of an unreleased ROC Ripcord. Skydive (v2) G.I. Joe Action Figure - YoJoe Archive G.I. Joe: The Pursuit of COBRA - Ripcord (Desert Battle) The look isn't really iconic to either character, since one figure was never officially released and the other was related in name only. I think this figure would look more appropriate as a fighter pilot with the ROC Wild Bill vest and legs. Wild Bill (v15) G.I. Joe Action Figure - YoJoe Archive This was also a missed opportunity to add a naval aviator to the ranks. Renegades Ripcord would have been a bad character choice as a Skystriker pilot. That's the lowest ranked version of Ripcord (E-3).
