I knew it! Hasbro did it again.
First we find out that we were getting Dialtone(Yeah!). Then, they tell us Dialtone is going to be a female(WTH!!). Now we see a sneak preview of SDCC's Hasbro booth, and what do we see a repaint of Cover Girl with Helix's head and this is the Dialtone we're getting? http://www.hisstank.com/gi-joe-news/...achmentid=6928 I was fine with Dial Tone being a female. I even liked the character in Resolute. But c'mon Hasbro, you could at least given us new head mold. Before we get the "it's an exclusive, there was no time for a new mold..." this was mentioned months ago in a Q & A so there was time even if this had to be pushed back 'til Holiday season or in the 2010 line up. I think this was a cop out and a kick in the groan. I think we should still get a Modern Era Dial-tone for this fiasco. No ROC colors, straight up green & biege Beret wearing sporting a mustache w/ oversized backpack just like 1986. I know the ROC line up is your baby right now but this is ridiculous. If ARAH characters are gonna get this kind of treatment in the ROC line up, I rather not get them. Just hope and wait that they get the release they deserve.

For all of you that thought Helix was the new Dial Tone when the pics first popped up a few months back, guess what you were right.

Have you considered that maybe Dial-tone actually becomes Helix?
And just for the record, the old Dial tone sucks. Ugly design, ridiculous gear, and useless, innecesary character.

I couldn't agree with you more Jinx. I feel that way about any ARAH themed item being released during the ROC line.
Read my thread on this and please feel free to post your feelings as well... http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ine-lives.html

I agree with M renegade.
quick question. Does this character mean this much to so many of you? some people make such a big deal out he becoming a she. he really left no impact in Joe. and he was pretty lame. not tryin to bust your balls, i am just curious. why all the fuss? |

I'm thinking that Helix was ORIGINALLY supposed to be Dialtone from the start...but when the "goth helix" started showing up online and people started freaking out, they renamed her into Helix....
now that Helix is accepted and wildly sought after..they probably figured...why not?....here's Dialtone |

I don't mind a female Dial-Tone, but I do agree on a new head mold.
