As collectors we have endured countless crappy repaints time and time again. But I as I assume most of you have accepted that is part of toy collecting.
However, now when we are getting what is basically the SnowCat and a simple repainted Snow Job could become Frostbite they give us a whole new character called Whiteout? What's the logic? |

Well the Whiteout toy that came out in 2000 was just a re-issue of Snowjob. I guess they're two different people now.

^ This. Whiteout I can dig completely. Brings another named character in to the new line. Changing the name of the Snow Cat though makes me very, very sad in the pants. |

I think Frostbite came with that re issued Ice Sabre, but that would have been cool.
I put an extra Clutch head on my ROC Snow Job last night before going to bed thinking he'd make an acceptable Frost Bite. |

Yes I wish we could stick with a few classic names like Snow Cat. Guess the PR department said they needed cooler names.
I am always glad to get new characters in our line, but I guess if it becomes between a new character and a chance to get an old classic one. I'm for classic. But, maybe that's the problem I'm stuck in classic while Hasbro is thinking new gen. |

yup. this is why they made the heads so easy to swap. It's toys. call it what you feel like calling it and make them what you want to make them. For example, That is not frostbite that came with the ice sabre to me. that is snow ops beach head.

In logic something can be truly false. Therefore renaming and repaints are in reality a cheap-o trick, but in fantasy something new altogether, and technicaly different due to the information surrounding it. COBRA!

I always liked Blizzard because he looked so different then the other cold weather Joes. Frostbite, Snow Job, and Iceberg all had a similar look, but then came Blizzard looking more modern and completely different.
I love all the cold weather Joes. But Blizzard has a special place. |
