yall might suckers but Im not, I dont buy many 25th and I refuse to buy anything that I dont LOVE! I own snake eyes with swords on chest because he was my fav joe as a kid, stalker cause I really like the way he looks, BAT and snow serpent. I dont buy all the crappy repaints, the dukes, the CC, the 15 snake eyes', or the 15 storm shadows.

I wish cutter had a new head too. I mean really Gung ho head with blue Marine Hat. First I didn't know cutter was a marine. But that aside. If cutter pilots his WHALE up the river to a jungle and Gung-ho and Leatherneck go in and get killed does cutter get to go home since they are triplets?

Next up we will see him dressing up as Cobra Commander. There is even rumors he will dress up like Lady Jaye. (But remember, "Don't Ask Don't Tell". |

I fell into the trap about 5 or 6 years ago when I was a Star Wars 12" completist, the only one I was missing at the time was the blue background variant of Chewbacca. At the time it was EXPENSIVE, I even had the blue highlight variant of the Snowtrooper, long story short, After E1 and going into E2, I realized I had 5 Hoth Lukes, various Greedos, Panda Babas, among others and it just hit me what an idiot I had been. I didn't even like some of the stuff I "had" to buy because it was in the line.
Since then I refuse to buy into any line fully and only get characters that I absolutely love.

I try to stick to buying only the stuff I want... but Hasbro LOVES to pack in figures I couldn't care less about in with one lonely figure worth getting on its own. * to DVD and SRO packs* I've also ended up with unwanted figs due to buying cases online. I do that to make sure I get what I want, since I don't always see things in stores, but I sure do end up with a lot of Dukes and Snake Eyes that way. (._.)

People will buy anything they put a Joe name on. Are we suckers, yes! and they know that so they market crap to us and sell out. As for body swaps, thats no different than what they did in the 80's. Its just too costly to make new molds for every figure. The thing that bugs me about all this, is the line is just a baby and the majority of the figures are snake eyes, storm shadow, and cobra commander, and cobra troopers.
51 single cards out to date 4 x Cobra commander 4 x snake eyes 3 x Storm shadow 4 x cobra trooper (officer, PP, Air trooper, The enemy) 2 x Flint 2 x Duke 2x Destro Thats 21 figures. so about half of the single carded figures are just garbage. I have no problem with multiple versions of figures, but i really wish they would have concentrated on realeasing key characters before repainting the same thing over and over and over. Now the line is coming to a close, and still we are left without the majority of figures we were really hopping to get. |
