Sorry for the noob question, but I've been studying the ARAH figures over at Yo Joe dot com.
Why is does the cardback for Bullet-Proof show a white man when the figure is clearly a very dark skinned African American? Anyone know? YOJOE.COM | Bullet-Proof Anyone have knowledge? Unfortunately Yo Joe doesn't seem to acknowledge the weird cardback. |

Nah, look at the facial structure on the filecard. He's definitely African-American.
Now, the new ROC Repeater, the figure vs. the filecard, that's definitely an African-American figure with a white guy on the filecard. |

Nah, the filecard art looks like he is black to me. There are considerable highlights in his face but that could be from muzzle flash and just artistic license to get the details of a screaming face accurately rendered.

While the facial structure of the Bullet-Proof cardback does look vaguely African American, it just looks off to me. I mean, the figure is darker skinned than Stalker. BTW: If it seems weird that I'm analyzing the racial features of Joes, don't worry. I actually enjoy all of the racial diversity the toy line encompasses. |
