I just got back into collecting again also.. I agree the ROC movie line was horrible really. seems like they tried to "Futuristic" our joes with tthe line. which i hated...
As for the 25th , the big reason im collecting these is the same , becuz i remeber them as a kid and not being able to have all of them !!! LOL.. i was always limited to buying just one maybe two if i was a really good boy ! (mom didnt spoil me to much) As for the POC and 30th.. i like what they did , the newer joes are awesome they have come up with. , Although the re-paints of the same characters is annoying, but i like what they did with the renegades repaints. the POC repaints were a joke for SS and SE.

I wish everyone else was. It's neurotic the way this fandom demands the same cast over and over again. And since Hasbro quite honestly doesn't give a fuck, they are happy to oblige.

One of the reasons characters are being repeated is because Hasbro keeps reinventing G.I. Joe. Back in the RAH days you had a comic book and a cartoon series but both were based on the same toyline.
Now we have figures based on on the various movies and cartoon series and because each of these incarnations use the same core characters we keep getting the same guys over and over again. In recent years we have had: *A Real American Hero (25th Anniversary) *Resolute *Rise of Cobra *Renegades *IDW comics That's 5 different G.I. Joe universes all happening at the same time or near the same time with Hasbro trying to squeeze it all into the same line of action figures. |

That is my biggest complaint right now.. Hasbro needs to get a single cartoon out right now that last more than one season and leave it alone so they can stick with one core Joe line and stop reinventing it over and over.. None of the other lines have this issue.. just Joe.. why i ask.. just Why?

Well, Transformers has that issue as well. Hasbro is scared to death of character development and moving beyond core names.

Why do you think GIJoe isn't getting noticed? It hsnt chnged much from the 80's. The same characters no real orginality. Of course, I'm gonna get slammed for this, but...
