those look pretty cool i'll have to get a storm shadow and torpedo

Mern-Ra · 07-02-2008, 04:16 PM

Some of the weapons are cool, but I really don't get why these aren't just 2-ups of the 25th figures?

...but these are such complete crap i can't even understand why Hasbro is putting them out. I mean, they look worse than the 60s Joes. Just terrible proportions, sculpting, accessories, resemblance to the characters, everything...

nice neck, Snake-Eyes! Nice crossbow Storm-Shadow! Nice skirt Torpedo!

The headsculpts are good and the non-firing action stuff is cool. But the uniforms dont look good at all, which is Hasbro's problems with ARAH Joe's.

No thank you. They look just terrible. They should take a cue from Sideshow Collectibles...comparatively its insane.

Crimson Rage · 07-02-2008, 05:05 PM

Ooooh, I just can't bring myself to like these. They do seem to have captured Torpedo's Hawaiin origins in his head sculpt but that's the only positive thing I can say.
A definate 'miss' from me.

pardon my ignorance of SEAL equipment...but is torpedos torso gear on backwards?

regardless....no interest. hey hasbro, dont make this shit, concentrate on making more 4" figs so my walmart can put something newer than the cobra air trooper on the pegs.

th heads look pretty good for toys..

but the bodies are Gaaaaaaaaaarbage!

yay hasbro keep hiking up the price of small joes so we can pay for your failed attempts at marketing a joe line of 12" junk

I think 12" Joes should be the old "Soldiers of the World" or "Adventure Team" and kept well apart from the 3 3/4 line. Both scales are quite distinct from each other in concept and have equally distinct sets of fans.

I'll always see attempts to fuse the two lines as a big mistake by Hasbro, and the relative failure of previous attempts seem to back this view up.
