Hey all,
Something has been bothering me recently. I see tons of you guys with platoon after platoon of Vipers and Cobra Troopers and any other expendable cobra troop, however the guys that collect only Joes don't really have any one figure to troop build. Sure we have the green shirts but they aren't really spectacular. Misspelled name on stand, non-single carded, and to top it off they all have duke arms, I really don't think anyone wants to collect, let alone troop build that. So I ask, why isn't there a good/updated version of the Greenshirt yet? Or even better, just a generic "US Soldier" in the standard OD uniform with a flak jacket, some web gear, a helmet, and an M16? I know I would purchase quite a few. What do you guys think? Would you like to see this?

I think GI Joe has to many members already, but they need to have a green shirt that is vastly improved over the current embarrassment.

Yes, yes I would. You know they had Action Marine and Action Soldier, Pilot, and Sailor, right? It'd be neat as hell to have a few of them updated to modern era style. I mean, I know the Action guys are meant to harken back to Korean War times (Action Soldier has OD bdu's), but they'd still be neat.

Well the 'bad' greenshirts just came out, so it will be a bit of time before there would be a chance for 'good'/more greenshirts to come out.

Why would you want to troop build Joes?
I hated that DDP introduced the greenshirts and that the cartoon had 'em. The Joes are an elite unit. They aren't supposed to have huge numbers of troops. They are supposed to be small and elite special forces. They aren't regular army with lots of troops. These guys are the special ones. I don't mind the Greenshirts as support personal. They are the guys that are security on bases, come in for mop-up operations, etc..
