Below are the GI Joe Movie figures I’m aware of, whether I’m buying them to add to my Modern Era/Resolute collection, and why or why not. How about you?
1. Sgt. Stone [originally thought to be Hawk] (body armor vest) – Yes – He'll probably be Hawk or Flint to me anyway, unless Sgt. Stone is awesome in the movie. 2. Cover Girl – Yes – I’m not sure exactly why I’m buying this one. I think it has something to do with her being blond. 3. Snake Eyes – Pass – I need another SE like I need a… you know the rest. Not cool enough to overcome that. 4. Scarlett (body armored) – Yes – This is definitely the best version of her from the movie line. It looks like a pretty good representation. I like redheads too. 5. Heavy Duty (green camo/vest) – Pass – I really just don’t have a place for this fig. In this outfit he’s pretty much redundant to my Roadblock. 6. Breaker – Pass – I wish there was anything about this figure I liked, but there just isn’t. 7. Duke (green/tan camo) – Pass – I realize this Duke is the one most like the Duke’s we all have come to know and love/hate, the most truly military figure in the line. But all told, I think that’s what doesn’t sell him for me. He’s just too plain. Maybe I’ll change my mind when I see him in the store, but I doubt it. [Edit: Thanks to Artiepants's marvelous observation, I may be buying a few of these Dukes to headswap to make modern tan/greenshirts for the Joe team, nice!!!] 8. Shipwreck – Yes – It’s crazy that this less featured character is probably one of my top 3 for the movie figs. I honestly like the look of this Shipwreck more than any previous version. 9. Deep Six – Yes – I do realize he’s yet another Torpedo repaint. But he’s a good Torpedo repaint. 10. Snake Eyes (trench coat) – Yes – I know I just said I need another SE like I need a… but this one is so cool looking. If he does something cool in the movie while wearing the trench coat, he’ll even earn a special display separate from the others. 11. Scarlett (grey camo) – Pass – Plain outfit, not the best headsculpt ever, nothing particularly appealing, especially since I’m planning to get Cover Girl with essentially the same uniform. 12. Heavy Duty (black body armor) – Pass – I’m saying no for right now, but if there is any fig I might come around to, it’s this one. I will have to see Mr. Eko in person before making the final call on this one. He will definitely need an MJ minigun to replace that oversized monster they packed him. 13. Hawk (jacket) – Nope – This is a great modern version of the classic general. He will be mine. [nix that, I'm not buying the Pit to get the jacket, now if someone wants to sell me just Hawk, that's a different story] 14. Ripcord (accelerator suit) – Yes – Sorry powersuit and Marlon haters, it’s Robocop meets Master Chief to me and I like it. 15. Duke (accelerator suit) – Yes – If Hasbro makes it, I’ll buy it. I haven’t seen one in 3.75”. Have you? 16. Storm Shadow (long jacket) – Yes – He’s a modernized version of a classic character. He will be in a special movie based display with trench coat SE. 17. Baroness – Pass – I just got my definitive version of the Baroness in the new Cobra pack which makes this one redundant. Sorry Sienna… 18. Cobra Viper/Viper Commando – Pass – Nothing special enough about these guys to get my money. They really have no place with my other Cobra troops. I might get the MARS 3 pack though. We’ll see when I see them in person. 19. Cobra Arctic Trooper (or whatever his name is) – Pass – He looks cool and all, but I like my Snow Serpents just fine, thank you. 20. Zartan – Pass – I like my classic version so much better. No chance I buy this boring one. 21. Destro – Yes - I just saw pics up on ebay. He looks really cool! 22. Cobra Commander - No - Scariest Cobra figure ever. I'll wait until they release a more battle-ready version down the road I think. 23. Firefly - Yes - Looks like a pretty cool version. I'm kind of a sucker for Firefly anyway. 24. Barbecue - Pass - At this point, I really don't have a place for him. I have my original BBQ. I do like that he has weapons though. Have I missed anybody (besides the other ME repaints, which I don't much care for)? What say you? Last edited by thunderdan19; 04-01-2009 at 04:25 PM.. |

Wow, none of the 20 figures Hasbro has put out there appeals to you? That's a little shocking to me.

I'm in for at least both SE's, both SS's, and Cover Girl. prob'ly Scarlett camo too, cos the handle bar zip line will go with the Twins.
