And what about a Colonel Courage, Scarlett Ninja Force and a T'J Bang 25th Anniversary figure! JK |

To me, BF2000 marked the begining of the end for GI Joe.
What I always loved about GI Joe was the perfect mix of real military with the slight "comic-booky" aspect of a lot of the Cobra stuff. When BF2000 came out, Hasbro began to push GI Joe towards sci-fi and outlandish vehicles and weapons, goofy colors and neon weapons. I hope they stay far, far away from BF2000... |

Although I didn't buy the figures after 1985 (primarily I was in high school and my parents no longer tolerated me owning toys or comic cooks), I bought them via eBay through various vehicle lots which came with stuff in later years. Was amazed of how bulky the vehicles were and if I was a kid, I guess I would have loved them. Especial the Battle Force 2000...have those now but as always, depends on the individual and we each see a silver lining somewhere or differently than the next person. But as for the 25th Anniversary, anything within those 25 years is fair game not just the originals but how many waves can be release until the next yearly campaign, I don't know.

if they make them, but i only hope they do if they make one of each character up to 87 before they do. but if they do, i want the whole team. avalanche is my favorite BF2000
as for some saying BF2000 and sci-fi and serpentor were when the joes started going down, i dont agree with this. it was snake eyes and the ninja force and when snake eyes would kill everyone and got his name at the top of the comic. sci-fi and serpentor were loved by almost everyone and marked a great day in the joes for me and everyone i talk to.

I think it was already Dead by the time of Ninja Force and Snake Eyes gettign top billing on the comic cover ~ that was just kind of the last gasp.

And Serpentor. Honestly before coming on the board here i thought EVERYONE hated Serpentor (obviously i was wrong). i jsut remember seeing that in the cartoon and even at 10 or 11 thinking it was just about the stupidest thing i'd ever seen/heard (the pulled it off only slightly better in the comic, but fortunately Larry Hama managed to off him memorably in like 2 years) but i'm jsut saying, that's the point when the ship started down it's neon-y, overly sci-fi-ish fork in the river that led to BF 200, eco warriors and etc. It was jsut a step or two, but gradually more and more it went there.
