Actually, I have a few good ones no one seems to have mentioned yet.
Gung-Ho's hat... what the hell is it? That doesn't look at all like a Marine Corp's cap, no matter how you look at it! In fact, it doesn't look like any military cap I've ever seen in my life! The single-carded Baroness has no eyebrows. Seriously, once you draw them on, it make the figure look sooo much better. I still feel we haven't gotten the definitive Serpentor, yet. To make this even more of a shame, I really don't want to have four version of him to get it right. V2 Storm Shadow is a crap attempt. Duke arms would have been better. Where did the tattoo come from all of a sudden if it wasn't there on the Cobra version, obviously. Why is it the Ninja Viper (or whateverthefuck it's called) gets the right mix of parts, but we still don't have a definitive V2 Stormy? And finally, these are the final problems: Tripwire, Slipstream, Mainframe, Major Bludd, Copperhead, and Wild Weasel; why the hell don't then have removable helmets? I mean, do we have to wait for the 50th anniversary collection to have these characters with removable helmets? Man! |

Falcon's missing the knife on his webgear. And it was actually shown with it on the prototype pics. But the overall figure is just so bad anyway that I made a better custom.
And the Bazooka Trooper is missing his holster on the back of the webgear. Will they ever fix it? These are what I consider 'mistakes". Most of their design choices are fine by me. Last edited by MrClean; 03-04-2009 at 01:31 PM.. |

So let me get this straight.
After years of either having no Joe stuff or dodgy, badly designed rubbish (yes VvV & Spy Troops, I'm looking at you), we finally get a line of extremely well sculpted, well articulated figures with excellent accessories. And that's still not good enough...? If I were you lot I'd stop moaning about tiny little quibbles and inaccuracies, and spend a little more time being glad you can actually get the damn things in your country. I haven't seen a Joe figure or vehicle on a shelf over here since Spy Troops. Seriously. WTF. |

My initial reaction to the movie was "BLEH!" why is storm shadow wearing a bath robe and sneakers?? then i heard the director is the same guy responsible for the Mummy and left hope in the gutter.

- Tele-Vipers pants nothing like originals & no backpack/accessories?
- Cobra Trooper (Wave 2) no handcuffs on right upper arm & Dragunov Sniper Rifles? - Wild Weasels helmet looks nothing like originals - Stinger Drivers insignia on helmet not red like originals - Changing the names of the classics like the Water Mochassin "Sting Raider ?", Sky Hawk "whatever it's called now ?", Sharc "Sharc Tooth ?", etc.
