What if there were no character scheduled for this slot to begin with? What if, instead of having 5-6 characters in the wave, they decided to make Matt Trakker and have a bonus, 6-7th character? I am not sure where people are getting that he replaced any character, did someone from Hasbro call you up and say, "Yeah dude, we were going to include Zap, but instead we decided to can him and put in Matt Trakker from MASK! Pretty boss, huh?" Because I do not think that is what happened...

If Hasbro had simply announced a new GI Joe trainer called "Tracker" (sic) then none of this would be happening and we'd all be saying "cool, a new Joe!".
Instead, Hasbro chose to try and increase the potential market while still giving us an interesting new character, trying to satisfy everyone. I really don't see this as a bad thing for the line or us collectors. Plus, had they said they were going to release a Joe named "Tracker", images of sleeveless jerseys and inflatable rafts would fly about and I can guarantee there would be more bitching

Good idea unless they are only just doing just Matt and none of the others then that is a bad idea...

Missing the point. We could have a classic Joe, instead of a made-up/new/crossover figure. I think the idea is cool. I'd just rather have an actual, existing, classic Joe like Dusty instead of a "new" character.
I still say if we were going to get 6-7 instead of 5-6 new figures, I'd still rather have a classic Joe than something else. Don't care if he took a slot or was an addition. I agree it makes business sense, and it's not a bad thing for the line necessarily, but I still don't have to like it Never said it was a bad choice, just not one I'd have wanted to be made. And I'd much rather have a classic Joe than a new creation any day. Plus, had they said they were going to release a Joe named "Tracker", images of sleeveless jerseys and inflatable rafts would fly about and I can guarantee there would be more bitching |

M.A.S.K. is not G.I. Joe.

I voted good idea for several reasons.. As a kid my second toy of choice was M.A.S.K. I have almost the entire collection now as I type this.. that would be reason 1.
Reason 2. it would be a fresh new face to the joe line. Not that i am complaining about what we are getting, but a nice break between all those CC, SS and SE. Reason 3. there isn't anything for us to really compare it to other than the old line which were not 3 3/4 figures. So comparing it wouldn't exactly be fair. So we can't really complain that they didn't do something or another that the old figure had. there are several good points about this figure.. who knows if he goes over well enough, they may decide to bring the line back ( I doubt it, but one can wish) this time in 3 3/4.
