So with you on that! haha.

What the hell, why can't they space out the pics so we can see them all? Very annoying. I hope they (the studio or Hasbro) give us some proper SCANS of these soon.

Thanks for posting the pics!!

We can do without all the funktified stuff and get back to basics. no weird vest for duke, no pants for ol' snakey and give destro his IG look if ya don;t wanna do the old school outfit...not a freakin mafia coat and robot arm. LAME.!!!!

I know you feel that they are "sigma six-ish." Having seen the clip first hand at JoeCon 3 times (as I've said before) it is NOTHING like sigma six. It is far more real world military in nature in terms of the character's outfits. Duke is wearing realistic body armor with ammo pouches. Firefly is wearing a protective "EOD bib" to shield his body in case whatever explosive he is setting (after all, he is a saboteur) goes off. (though it would make more sense for him to wear a full suit in that case.) I'm going to take a wild guess and say he probably doesn't wear that all the time. Snake Eyes . . . honestly, with his role and the kind of violence he pulls off . . . he could wear a damn tutu and it wouldn't matter. But, yes, he wears pants, not tights. Looks every bit the commando he's supposed to be.

I get the point that you don't like "anime" style animation, but it's not anywhere near as bad as you're making it out to be. The characters are a lot more serious and edgy in the toon. There is nothing about it that would be considered "kiddy." There is minimal exaggeration in the character proportions. (Except Destro . . . I will totally give you that, I'm not sold on his look yet . . . depends on how he plays out in the toon.) Please trust those of us that saw it. There hasn't been a single naysayer of those that have seen it, even people that don't like "anime."

Well I'll check it out when it hits but So far, realistic or not, its not winnin me over.

[Steel Brigade]

And believe me I like Scarlett's backside!! lol
But I'd also like to see what's going on front-wise so I can appreciate ALL of Scarlett!!

I just wrote to the studio. We'll see if anything happens. Here's a copy of my mail. Meh. Took five minutes. Who knows.


Hello, thank you in advance for taking the time to read this. I am writing about the forthcoming GI Joe Resolute animation that your studio is producing. From what I've seen online, it is going to be great! While I could not make it to the SDCC, I have seen some photos of the still character images you've had on display there. Sadly we can't get a very good look at most of them without actually being there in person. I am writing to ask if you could please post those character sheets, or any other goodies, online for us fans to get a better look at them? I know that you've got a serious fan base out here and we'd all love to see more of the animation! I do understand, however, if this is not possible.
Thank you very much for you attention,
And on behalf of many eager fans, I hope to hear from you soon!

(mods, sorry I posted this in a resolute thread too, I meant to put it in this one, sorry for the double post.)

OH, and Steel Brigade, I've been wondering this forever, what is that Scarlett quote of yours from???

[Steel Brigade]

That letter sounds good to me!

[GGPiKE]

I encourage the letter writing. I seriously hope they release the promo clip . . . I just want all of you who haven't had an opportunity to see to be able to.

Yeah, Firefly's "bib" is just some type of Kevlar vest. I'm sure it helps him not die if and when he's planting explosives and they accidently explode, or ya know, in case he's shot at.
I think Duke's vest resembles a modern US military vest. It's probably kevlar, and those appear to be ammo pouches on the front. That's pretty standard design and issue.
Personally, I like the use of pants on SE, too. I've gotten over the tights look, and dig the more military look of the BDUs.
I dig all of those pics. I'm pumped.
