I’m DEFINATELY excited about the future of the G.I. Joe toy line!
It wasn’t too long that Hasbro spoke of only developing 15 figures, which is why we probably saw so many repaints? Now we’re waiting on pics of Wave 13! First there were doubts of vehicles then there were talks of no large vehicles? After recently digesting the Rattler and Conquest X-30, we’re now getting our paws on SHARCs, Firebats, CLAWs and Fangs while waiting on the first playset soon to be revealed! We’ve come a long way. From the Target exclusive HISS to the Trouble Bubble to the Rattler to the Firebat and now soon we’ll have a Water Moccasin or four and not soon enough, we’ll have several Stingers! Y’all don’t hear me…some are still complaining about Wave 8 single figures and the ’09 movie that they have already rated a ‘3 out of 10’ at best? Sure the prices have been inflated but the craftsmanship of these figures has improved dramatically! From painted flesh tones to flesh tone plastic! New molds such as ALL of wave 5 with the exception of Snake-Eyes, ALL of Wave 6 with the exception of Rock & Roll, Wave 7… c’mon somebody, Spirit, version 7 Snake-Eyes, Cobra Viper and HISS driver! And just when you were developing doubts because of the Viper arms and yet another Duke… Wave 9! Hawk, Bazooka, Snow Serpent and the hottest troop builder to date…da B.A.T.! NEWS FLASH: The NEW TRU 3-packs are of a better quality especially Ace’s head sculpt! Anyone notice the attention to detail? Dry brushed B.A.T., finger nails/girth of Sgt. Bazooka, muscular veins/alligator bites on Croc master, sophistication of the Para-Viper, multi-cultural Desert 7-pack, (besides Lt. Claymore, I think one of those figures is Russian and the other Hispanic?). How about that added detail in the Stinger tires, Arctic HISS with attached canvas and the FLAK cannon is just SEXY! Oh, let’s not forget the Crowd pleasers; fixed crotches, Duke wrists, Flint sleeves, revamped Major Bludd, Serpentor and Zartan. The comic packs are getting better and better! From Breaker to Copperhead to Scrap Iron with both Shockwave and Tunnel Rat on the horizon! I believe the BEST is yet to come! With Hasbro integrating comic and cartoon based figures into the line, to create more depth and new choices, I’m curious about G.I.Joe RESOLUTE aka the new face of G.I.Joe. I love that 2.7 seconds clip of the upcoming web-episodes. I already know I’m going to be adding those figures to my ever-growing collection as well. Bring on the movie toy line! Whether it be upgrades of my active figures such as Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow, Scarlet or Baroness… additions such as Heavy Duty, Rip Cord, Neo Vipers, civilians, accessories, custom fodder or vehicles… BRING IT ON!!! I’m EXCITED… did I say that already? |

im with you on that
so far they have enuff good stuff out that its hard to keep up and thats a good thing because i use to always wish there was more product when i first started now theres more than enuff. and i find most products always turn up at sum point around me even if it takes longer than sum places they always turn up soon or a later. they stepped up the game and i like the things i see on the way aswell

Nicely put, Mr. F! Hasbro should put you in charge of marketing!
And I am indeed excited at the prospects for future Joe product. I just hope they can keep the prices from hitting the atmosphere. At least oil prices have dropped. How 'bout dropping those fig prices back down, H'bro... (yeah, right) Oh, and please don't strap the Joe line with losses from your other lines (Hulk, IJ, etc.) |

only thing i'm not excited about is the single packs ~ unless the Resolute figures are wicked awesome i'm only getting 1 per wave of waves 12-15
but aside from the w.7 comic packs the next ones sound great (shockwave/Tunnel Rat/Night Creepers) and the vehicles are lookin' fantastic...

The best way for me to express my thoughts on the future of the Joe line is this: cant wait for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012. I have a four year old son who loves the joes, a one year old who loves what ever big brother loves, and my wife is expecting our third by may. Cant wait to see all three of them playing with joes. Even if my third is a girl she is sure to love scarlett, lady jaye and covergirl(eventually). YO JOE TO THE FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
