Okay, knowing that the 3 3/4 line will "supposedly" be back next year does bring me some sense of solace. I say "supposedly" becuase G.I.Joe toys have been cancelled way more times than they should have been. Sorry if my first post started us off on the wrong foot. I'm just saying, I'd like as many "NEW" sculpts as I can get while I'm CERTAIN they should be coming out. Of course I'll buy the Satan figure. But if I needed one that bad I'd simply paint a Storm Shadow myself. I can't sculpt/retool something into a good Zarana.
I'm sorry I called some of my fellow collectors idiots, but don't talk to me like I'm one. There is no way, NO WAY, Satan or Sei Tin or whatever is more recognizable than a Dreadnok! Let's not kid ourselves here. Wait, we should kid ourselves for a moment becuase when we were kids, the G.I.Joe cartoon sold the toys. NOT THE COMIC! I have the complete run of the Marvel series. It was okay for back then. It's really sort of cheesy by today's standards. It's much better than the DDP series though. Most of those are complete CRAP! (I'm probably gonna have to defend my stand on that later.) YES, I'm the guy who thinks a giant, winged, elbow-bladed, tank-throwing, monster-man is cooler than saying the world's most diabolical terrorist is just a disgruntled, car salesman. I like good, MANLY, sci fi/fantasy. Not lame soap operas where a whiney, throw-away character named Billy learns to be a ninja to get back at his daddy.
Where was I...? Oh yeah. As collectors, we really need to start letting toy companies know what we want. Yes, a Satan/Red Ninja Viper would be cool in the long run but not for the 20th anniversary. How about General Hawk. Tomax and Xamot. Hopefully those guys rank up there with Satan.
If all we were "supposed" to get was one 5-pack, and the toy company decided to throw us lowly consumers a bone with a few more trinkets to spend our meager wages on, maybe we have no say on what we would like more. I did'nt think Hasbro owned us like that. I thought it would be in THEIR best interest to bend to OUR will. Oh yeah, I forgot, everyone but me loves everything Hasbro does and would buy a turd if they said it was the new,updated
Iron Grenadier figure.
I really don't like to complain, this is just the first time I've vented myself about my hobby on a public forum. Thanks for giving me the chance and reading what I have to say.
Besides, if Hasbro actually name's a toy "Satan", I'll eat my hat.
