In celebration of over 25 years of G.I. JOE VS. COBRA, Hasbro is creating the Hall of Heroes single-carded 3-3/4-inch figures.
Starting April 15th, Hasbro’s 25th Anniversary line of G.I. JOE figures will be posted on GIJOE.com, where fans will be able to vote for their favorites. All 62 single-carded 3-3/4-inch figures released through 2008 will be eligible for the vote. |

I don't get the specialist trakker figure...seems like a waste to include a mask figure in the G.I. JOE 25th line, don't ya think?
I agree that we shouldn't vote for characters that have been already released, but this is the hall of fame for joes and I don't see how you can't include SE and Stormshadow in the hall of fame. |

I guess for Zap and Short-Fuse, they might still show up in the "Firefly vs Green Shirts" pack? Dangit, G.I. Joe needs a mortar man already!
As for the Tracker thing...I just got out the book to confirm it, but in DDP's "Rise of the Red Shadows" (which I know lots of you hate, ok, I know that...not relevant right now, I'm not trying to start a debate on its merits) the same character is referred to as "Action Man" and "Tracker." Same guy. Given that we know that Hasbro is not afraid to do DDP characters (Wraith, the DDP-influenced Zartan) I would think it makes more sense to think this is something along the lines of Action Man/Tracker, and the double "k" might have to do with trademarks (lots of names have changed, as we all know). Just my two cents; this makes more sense to me than a character from an entirely different toyline. And no matter who it is, I'll totally buy it.

TRACKER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MASK! guys tracker is a joe who was released in the 1991 line he has nothing to do with mask. he was a pretty decent figure although he came with a huge inflatable raft.

It's not a character from MASK. Are you people really that gullible? Come on.

the only troop builder for me is the eels, going 4 deep, the rest i have no interest in, just 1 mint on card to keep for the collection. hasbro is actually 'SAVING" me money!!!
they are going to use the same cobra trooper body and add on more weapons/ paint job/ mask and call it a 'insert special task' trooper/viper... but hey more figures are better for everyone all around, it keeps the line going. hmmm...so the walmart listings do make a good indication of whats to come... the gi joe line is the BEST toy line out right now, keep the line going hasbro!!!!!!!!! more more more please!!!!!!!!!!! |

I am finishing up a 25th Tracker right now, mainly because I spent 4 years in the navy and have a preference for sailors on my Joe team, and I am fairly confident as I look at my nearly finished product this isn't a character Hasbro designers would be chomping at the bit to make for the line. Trakker has to be someone different. |

However: I admit that having Specialist Trakker replace Mask in the listing is possibly pushing the bounds of coincidence. It also seems unlikely we'd get a character that most people on the board have never heard of (Tracker) before a lot of the more oft-requested Joes. What if it is going to be Matt Trakker? Weird addition to a 25th anniversary line. Mike |
