Does anyone know which Japanese animation studio did the animation, because it's definitely anime alright.

Animation is by Titmouse... A Hollywood CA based company. It's not Japanese or even qualifies as Anime as you are thinking of it. Titmouse did the opening animation for Avatar: The Last Airbender & Afro Samurai.

man that would be so sick!! highly-articulated 8" (sigma-style, minus all the holes and "power-suit" look of course) RESOLUTE figures!? I'd be ultra-broke for years if that happens.

Yeah. I'd have to have my wallet locked away to prevent me from going into bankrupcy.

3-3/4" but 8" figures with realistic proportions would be AWESOME. Damn it I miss the Sigma 6 line.

NOW, I want to see a new mold YF-23 Skystriker...man oh man that would rule. Since this cartoon is aimed at us older folk, I hope if we get the YF-23, its aimed at us too with no light and sound gimmicks that blow up the proportions. I likes my 23 sleek and sexiez

I want a 3-3/4" figure of Storm Shadow....NOW!. Duke's update looks cool but I hate Duke.

Destro looks too fat to me.

I'm very happy with the look of this so far. I'm also glad to see that this is being updated to represent our modern military. No more Cold War era gear or superhero tights. This is GI Joe for the modern age. I love it!

Firefly, Duke and Snake-Eyes look the best to me so far. I'm really digging Firefly's EOD vest.

Destro looks cool, kind of like a metallic Benito Mussolini.

I still don;t dig that whole pants thing with snake eyes. IT just doesnt seem right. Duke I can deal but firefly should have something more akin to his agility and not a big bulky bomb blast vest. And destro...well the sigma six look didnt work then and and it dont work now. IS a suit of body army a saber and a red cape that difficult? :>

[SolidSnakeEyes]

V1 and V3 SE both had BDU pants that are very, very similar to the pants that SE is wearing. That SE has a much more military/commando look. Granted, I think he should be wearing a similar top, or one of the British Commando sweater tops rather than the form fitting top.
I'm kind of indifferent about Destro. That long coat does give him a very military look. That coat and collar are very similar to WWII German officer long coats, and even Cold War era Russian long coats. To me,it kinda makes sense for the leader of an international illegal arms dealing syndicate to be wearing a coat like that. He kind of has a "Second World" dictator look.
Again, I like the military look this is taking, rather than the super hero look of tights, open chest shirts, and whatever else.

[Griff]

yeah maybe if SE had a proper top with them pants but either full gear or go with the suit but dont mix em half in half...its looks wrong.

Pretty safe assumption that most, if not all, of this crap will wind up like the sigma six line -- peg warming shelves many, many months after it's release. I'm not at all impressed with what I've seen thus far.
