What popular character to you secretly feel is overated and what neglected character do you love?
Overated I'll catch flack for this one but Firefly. He is like the Boba Fett of Cobra. Everyone loves him because his uniform looks cool. Don't get me wrong, he was an awesome figure that I instantly fell in love with as a kid, but cannon wise, he never did much but botch things or subcontract them out to be botched ( see Zartan, Hard Master). Underated Scrap Iron. Another cool figure that came with an amazing missle launcher assembly. As a kid he was one of my favorites and barely ever showed up in the cartoon or comic. But, the one time I remember him in the Marvel comic, he killed the freakin Soft Master. Who are your choices?

Well, I don't have a ton of experience with any of the media, but...
Characters: Underrated would be Hit&Run. VERY Overrated would be Destro. I never understood the appeal. Figures: Under-V1 Night Creeper Leader or V2 Zartan . With NCL, underneath all of that orangey goodness is a pretty damned awesome figure, though that could be nostalgia talking. V2 Zartan's gimmick sucks, but as a former punk rocker I like his look over all. Though he would have benefited from being a new 'nok, I think. Over- V1 Ninja Viper. Ffs people, it's a poorly colored version of a mold that was outdated as hell at the time, and you were lucky if you got a sword or two. Your $100-200 is far better spent elsewhere. Overused: The V1 Firefly mold, and Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Duke, Cobra Commander, Roadblock ANYTHING. 1 version a year tops, please. Underused: Any troop builder. |

Underrated ? Voltar , Slice or Stalker . All are such bad mo fos
Overrated? Quite a bit but most are our favorites : SE, SS, CC, Duke, Scarlett to name a few. Nothing wrong with them. They just being the most popular overshadow the really cool low key guys.

Overrated: Any character that dominates the media at the expense of some 200+ other characters.
Also, overrated any villain that turns "face". Underrated: those 200+ other characters. |

If you like Hit&Run, dig up the final issue of Action Force Monthly/GI Joe European Missions, he's in a good story with Tunnel Rat, Fast Draw, Falcon and Crazy Legs.

Underrated, Stalker.
I loved that he finally got to shine in the DEVILS DUE comics.

Interesting choice. I always felt Stalker was one of Hama's go-to top 5 joes. I do agree he is awesome though.
