Well My kids will like them I guess, they have been after me to get them some "Real Joes" as my little girl puts it as like her Dad she dislikes the 8" figures. I guess I buy them for them, keep Hawk for myself and mail in for Doc

Sometimes the colors in comics aren't meant to be taken literally. Blue is often meant to represent black (Snake eyes is the best example of this). I think Hasbro might do well to split the difference between 100% comic-accuracy, and pleasing aesthetics of the actual figure. Overall, I'm a bit puzzled as to Hasbro's plan for the comic packs. Most figures are (for better or worse) colored like their comic counterparts, except for Hawk, who's closer to his original figure. Don't get me wrong, I want an updated V1 Hawk, it's just kind of inconsistent. |

Good idea. Just how many "crappy repaints" are you willing to buy before you concede that we're probably not going to get new molds for every single character that Hasbro screws up (which, right now, is looking like every single character)? Or maybe you think that Hasbro's releasing this 25th Anniversary line and will, eventually, re-release the entire thing correctly...? I can see it now: COME PURCHASE WAVE 10! IT'S WAVE 1 DONE CORRECTLY THIS TIME! |

Make that three children who would pass on the 8" for the 3.75" scale joes. My six year old son prefers them also - he likes his figures to be able to get into vehicles and have snipers able to hide in between the couch cushions. lol
I also like the emblem on the helmet. Is it just me...or does the comic pack helmet look different from the other? (besides the obvious lack of an emblem) The helmet looks like it is longer on the sides and back to me.
