I feel positively happy never having seen a cartoon (nor any wrestling) so my impression of Slaughter is solely from the comic (and only a few pages at that iirc).
Are there any stats on the height and stature of Recon Marines. Afaiu, e.g. the SAS and Delta Force tend to be made up of mainly average sized (or as one ex-SAS member described them, wiry) members as it's more about endurance than size and strength. I guess the same would be true of the Recon Marines? Just thinking that Sgt. Slaughter would then be a serious outlier on the curve (fair enough, I'm sure it happens). To me the Recon Marines need to do a lot of running, so Wiry would describe them too. Except with Hallowed eyes, from having every ounce of fat sucked out of your body.

Yeah Samuel L Jackson is too old, but very few actors have the same presence as Jackson. He's one bad mofo no matter how you slice it. I think Stalker who is one of the most popular characters needs a make over big time. Ripcord is just a waste of a Character to me. Especially since they made him basically a Stalker character with no authority even though he outranks the rest of the Joe team in ROC.

Definitely the wrong actors for that. Although I think Wayans played the part he was directed to play.

I'm pretty sure that it's the same head thats being used for the Joe disguise that comes with Desert Zartan. Could get the head that way.

I liked the Wayans/Ripcord character in RoC. He wasn't Ripcord, but was a good/decent character.
Duhamel and Gibson in T-Formers made good Joes.

I find that remark insulting...to janitors.
Sadly, I think the problem is that Hasbro doesn't really give a crap about the filecards and haven't for quite some time. Even sending someone to this thread to get some answers would take a certain amount of effort on their part and I don't think they're interested in putting it forth. I kind of wish they would jut scrap the filecards altogether, rather than just keep pumping out junk. And like I said before, I don't think the majority of fans care about the filecards all that much. They might give them a quick read but I doubt they matter all that much. I suspect that the 10 or so regular and semi-regular contributors to this thread are representative of a relatively small faction of Joe fans who really value the filecards. Which is a shame because they were the first bit of Joe continuity ever created, having come before the comic and cartoon. I think it's very telling that the question of "comic vs. cartoon" comes up a lot, but no one really brings up the filecards that often. |

I've mentioned in other threads how the filecards are the only true canon.
But then Hasbro screwed that up by changing and altering the ranks and MOS so much over the years that the official canon became an official mess.

And that's suppose to be Sandstorm right? (Zartan's disguise head)

Yeah it's too bad. I think the Filecards are such an important part of the story, but I doubt anyone besides a few care. Although I doubt other toy packages have as much worth as a cardback with a filecard on it.

I loved clipping and collecting the filecards. But yeah, most people didn't seem to care.
