Would you support GI Joe if it was only to come back to discount chain stores such as Dollar General? They'd be repaints with one or two accessories and a stand but be at a price point < $10.
I personally thought the Dollar General line was fantastic. What say you? |

I would. Duke, Shipwreck and the Black/Blue cobra troopers are all on my list to get.

Yes please!!!
Bring back the DG SW, SS, and CT builds. Release several different versions in multiple colors. Imagine a grey CT (Stinger Driver), White outfit SW, and a blue outfit SS!!! For CC, use the Ultimate Ret. build, and release it in multiple colors (Red, White). Change the DG Duke to a DATD Flint build with ARAH Duke colors and a POC Duke head. Change SE build to a Shock Trooper build and release it in multiple colors (Black torso w/ green legs), I would stop at every DG I could find to troop build all of those figures!!!

I would. They made for great customs. Make the Cobra Trooper in green or tan.

Definitely. I'd be happy to see any Joe figures back in retail, considering I missed these guys the first time around. And throw in a file card this time!

Man yes! I've worked on some ideas for a future Dollar General line.
With the original, you had kind of a "Versus" campaign in their figure selections: Duke vs Cobra Commander Shipwreck vs Cobra Snake Eyes vs Stormshadow I like some of the ideas mentioned above. Given how popular the Cobra trooper and Shipwreck builds are, I would continue those action figures but with different color schemes. Likewise, I would offer the Danger at the Docks body for one of the other GIJoe characters. But I would not offer a Cobra Commander this time around. In fact, I wouldn't offer either Snake Eyes or Stormshadow. I would try to throw in a couple of female characters that would be easy to produce in solid colors for the cheaper, Dollar General, price point. So my suggestions are: Duke: Renegades Duke head on Danger at the Docks body with a bandolier and rifle. Two color schemes are: Tan shirt with Green pants and Green shirt with Tan pants versus Baroness: This would be the standard 50th Baroness figure (or possibly the SDCC "Ravage" head sculpt). Baroness comes with a rifle. The Two color schemes are: Blue and Red. Some may be worried that a female character would become a peg warmer, but with Baroness being a leading character and available in her blue (comic book) and red (crimson guard) colors, I think they would sell very well. Grunt: Pick a head sculpt on the DG Shipwreck body with 25th Grunt webgear, helmet and rifle. The Two color schemes are: light green shirt & pants and tan shirt & pants. Major army builder potential here. versus: Cobra: Use the same DG Cobra head & body with helmet, webgear and rifle. The Two color schemes are: Tan uniform with brown webgear and Grey uniform with black webgear. Again major army builder potential and the grey version gives a 50th update to the Stinger Driver. Jinx: I think offering Jinx gives the fans and kids (new collectors) both a female character AND a (ever so popular) ninja. This would be the Retaliation Jinx masked head & body with her staff weapon. The two color schemes are: solid red and solid white. Some may balk that this makes the "exclusive" versions less exclusive, but those action figures come with the alternate head. Plus they would be on a different card. versus Cobra Ninja: Use the Retaliation ninja figure with sash and sword. The Two color schemes are solid red w/ black sash and solid black w/ red sash. I think a variety such as this would be great for army building (except maybe the Baroness and Jinx figures, which I still think would sell well - these wouldn't be any different than how much of non-army builders Snake Eyes and Cobra Commander are). Jason
