this is the worst idea (dial tone as some dim-bulb chick rather than the cool GUY he was) since greedo shooting first. Why can't we get a CLASSIC dial tone before ANYTHING else?!!!!!

The fact that you didn't even know about it shows how little a reused codename actually makes a difference. |

you have all missed the mark. What they are REALLY going to do, in homage to all the true 'old-school' joes is make him the first small figure with the brillo pad hair (including the incredible stache) that the original joes had.

I really hope that Hasbro doesn't read this thread, because the fact is I would really like a figure based on the comic Dial Tone. Yes, I also want a "classic" version, and there's no reason we can't have both. As a previous poster put it, you could make either one 90% out of existing parts/molds.
Also, we really need more chicks on the team. Two or three women out of a team of 70 or so was groundbreaking 25 years ago, but we probably have a higher ratio of women in the service now in the real armed forces. That being said, there are still already established female characters wating in the wings. Cover Girl, Jinx (two versions), Zaranna, Zanya, and Pythona to name a few. I think the point I'm trying to make is, yes, Hasbro could be doing a little more on this front, but at the same time it's just not worth getting worked up over it. We'll eventually get a classic Dial Tone if Habro sees a demand, but there's no reason not to enjoy a quality figure if Hasbro releases one. |

No it just shows I forgot about Skypatrol's Airborne, who was never a major player. Dial-Tone is a bigger character with a bigger part to play.

My point is, why release a new character over better existing ones
If they want more chicks, give us Jinx or zarana. Dont give us a fubar'd character.

But I want more prominent, established female characters. Simple as that. I'm personally fine with this gender swap for several reasons. This wasn't a quota-fill situation. IDW was trying to create a new character. By the time Hasbro said no new names it was kinda too late. The story was already done & I think the art (or maybe only part of the art) was already done. A name had to be recycled. I also like that it's a name that's been around for a long time but isn't too prominent. And frankly I just want more females.

Dude... The Airborne complaints on this site are almost historical! You should go back to the dates when the movie actors were released. There was an UPROAR on that very topic. Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
