I'm over spending the money on the same figures.
Even a new figure that is obviosly a new head on a repainted body with a dif weapon is irritating. Especially when I have to buy it to get a new figure. How many Snake eyes do I need, especially if it's the same one with a slightly different color? Hawk looks good, again just a new head, but at least it's something. Thank god for breaker, rock n roll, and flash. But where is Zap, Short fuze, Grand Slam(even though he'll def be a repaint.), and especially Grunt and Clutch? The first four years of figures were my favorite as a kid, and I'd like to see them all brought back. Instead of having the same figures forced upon me ie; SE, SS, Scarlet, Duke, and CC. Now you know how I feel...........and knowing is half the battle. |

I am pretty forgiving of the repaints since this is how GI Joe has always been since the ARAH line started. Heck, even the original 13 were made using 2-3 body types and 3-4 unique head sculpts in different combinations with different paint apps.

What I am really really really SICK of is not finding PRODUCT!!!!!I find repaints a good way for them to keep costs down to make profit.If I ran Hasbro/Joe I would have no problem sending out repaints and I would have no problem with lack of PRODUCT.Some repaints are for the better.COME ON HASBRO I want to give you $$$$$$$$$$$$.Happy Hunting!!!

Ranoobu, haha, Tiger Forced...
ya know, Hasbro going with the removable belt was a briliant idea...they need to run with it more though...they could EASILY make the rest of the O13 with belt webbing system they have... |

a tigergayforce/pythonhomoized is one thing, they're still lame, but at least it's not a v1 SE in grey, then black, then blue.
I understand about costs, so then mix and match dif legs, feet, arms, torsos, with new heads, bingo new guy. just not the whole body. thats how they did it originally. availabillity sucks, we all know. but instead of getting bummed out by empty pegs(if they even still have them up) you walk up with a huge joe boner to full pegs only then to see the same figures, no mold changes, but now in technicolor. |

I'm actualy impressed how much milage they are getting out of the sculpts. (on of our oversees friends posted a pic of Hawk and Breaker and they really look different...) Sure Flint isn't 100% ARAH accurate, but he also REALLY doesn't look like a redeco of Duke thanks to the head and webgear. and Wild Weasel couldn't look more different from Snow Job even though there's just the head-swap and lack of coat skirt...
