I simply want a classic inspired Covergirl, Footloose, Airtight, Lifeline and Low-Light. I only collected until '85, so I am most interested in remakes of the ones I had.
As for media, a weekly cartoon would be the showcase. Similar to 'Clone Wars' in levels of violence and story development, but with Resolute style animation. |

Moving forward, I'd like to see them fill out the MA stuff a little more, with some classic figs redone that haven't gotten the treatment yet.
While doing that, I'd really like to see them take the Hama-verse, and expand it out, going forward. No reason the old Joes can't still be around, but some cool new characters to build some new stories around would go a long way, and maybe we can even find the next Snake-Eyes or Destro. They can still put out the occasional Cobra Commander or Duke, but guys like Night Adder are pretty awesome. Modern looks for the new guys, but incorporate some color, please. No need to go overboard or neon, but let's see something like the 84-85 years, where the figs were relatively realistic looking, but didn't all look the same. And a medium to support those stories, be it a comic or a new cartoon, and do it in such a way that it can appeal to most demographics. Resolute was good, and I enjoyed it, but you'd be hard pressed to market it as a kid's show. On the other hand, it doesn't have to be Pokemon, either. There's a happy medium (like the old Batman Animated stuff) that can appeal to young and old. |

Don't really need/care/desire/want repaints of every figure unless there's a valid reason for it. Cartoon accurate is not a valid reason in my opinion. And especially don't redo it again if going to make it worse: Shipwreck and Flint from the last 5 pack. Those head sculpts are HORRIBLE!!

Do it once, make it right the first time or don't release it.

I'm a dreamer. I want my entire ARAH collection in 25th/ME form. I never wanted a live action movie, so it really doesn't bother me what they do with that as long as the changes made in the movie do not find their way into the toyline or the cartoon show, which would also be ARAH based.
...and add re-releases of the original Night Raven and Terrordrome and I'm a happy camper. |

What do you want from GI Joe?
- A new coat of paint on old concepts, while at the same time not destroying the core of the characters or accompanying universe. In other words, I am completely satisfied that Hasbro understands this paradigm and have been working tirelessly for years now to further the brand while also understanding the needs of a changing world, and an always maturing audience. Apparently there is a contingent of fan who thinks Hasbro is doing a bad job at this? If so, I warrant you should give toy marketing (or any marketing for that matter) a try. Tastes are fickle and if fans had it there way nothing would ever change and toy lines would whither on the vine and eventually die out completely. I for one certainly don't want that. Does anyone else? |

I think this^^. Plus some updated vehicles....not a repro mauler, but an all new MOBAT and Mauler (like the Skyhawk update or moreso)--bigger, more detailed and chock full of awesomeness.

I be happy if they finish the 25th line, but really all I want from them to do is to hold me and tell me everything is going to be ok...

Honestly, I like where POC is going.
Classic characters with new looks, I'm just happy to have a new Doc figure. Honestly, (hate the colors all you want) would he not fit in with the 25th style figures? Whatever they do, as long as they keep it Turtle Viper free, I'm ok. |

This. All I really want are the same old Joes with better articulation, and can hold their weapons well. I do like the figures based on Resolute, which I figured were supposed to be older versions of the ARAH Joes anyway. |
