I hear you there.
I'm not sure why, but I just don't get the whole Joe Colton hype. Am I the only one? Everybody is clamoring for him, but really—why? It has to be just because it's Bruce Willis. I suppose that's valid and I understand that, but he doesn't seem to fit in anywhere in my collection so I guess I don't need him. The figure honestly looks pretty lackluster in person, like a bald bum in a t-shirt with a few cool guns and a wacky oversized wave 1 Duke missile launcher. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I look at it this way: Go back for a moment to oh, say Pursuit of Cobra wave 3 or 4. Imagine seeing fantastic detailed sculpts like Ultimate Snake eyes, shock trooper, low-light, Shadow Tracker, or moneybags Destro, and then imagine that Joe Colton on the pegs with them. Don't you think he'd look plain, sloppy and out of place?
But anyway, I begrudge no one their Joe Colton and I do hope everyone who wants one finds one. I guess he's just not for me. In fairness, POC had its dull figures as well. Maybe if I were a Retaliation completionist I would feel differently.
