Actually, let me be a little fairer. One of the reasons that new characters tend to be so throwable is the fact that both the Publishers and the fans won't permit the older characters to be written off. That is, can't have a new generation of heroes when the older ones are still alive and kicking.
So until that day ... there is really no need to introduce newer characters, especially if they are going to be one-dimensional, e.g. everything Liefeld, Silvestri, and Lee have come up with in Marvel and Image Last edited by laurenluna1977; 04-04-2012 at 07:52 PM.. |

I happen to like the Avengers figures and have many of them. My son has the Iron Man that came with the Avengers Firebat and he loves it.

But a talented writer could make a great character from those Liefeld one's ie..deadpool, Stryfe...hell, even Feral could be cool.

Deadpool will NEVER be cool. No wannabe Wolverine will ever be.

I will accept that. But Marvel, which is supposed to be the edgier House, also can't let anyone retire ... I don't even mean dead, just not operational any more

That makes three of us then. I still only have on vehicle, I need to get those armors and the Quin Jet before the Hellicarrier comes out.

I'd be much more open to a new/revamp of GI Joe if they would just use all new characters instead of trying to keep all the traditional characters perpetually young and "fresh". Snake Eyes should be in his 60's for crying out loud. Let them move on and bring in new characters. OR tell new stories set in the older time frame. I like what DDP started out doing. The characters were older as they should have been. Reinstated to train a new generation of Joes. They got away from that pretty quick and I think it hurt the book in the long run.

The vehicles pretty much suck, but I like many of the figures. My wife wants me to buy all those Action Battlers for Shane when he grows a little older. She said that the Avengers figures will only be out a short while and he would like them when he's bigger.
We already bought him that huge Smashing Hulk.

I guess the same could be said for pretty much all comic heroes as well.
