Rebadged Chap Mei stuff. Still, if it's your bag at least you'll be able to find it. More than I can say for most of Hasbro's efforts as of late.

Isn't it fascinating? It really discredits the argument that military toys aren't picked up by retailers.

I think it may be Hasbro pricing Joe out of the market. I can't say how well the Real Military stuff is moving, but I imagine a parent would find better value for money in one of these sets than they would an equivalent Joe item. Just my musings on the topic, and in no way corroborated by evidence.

Man Uncle Sam backed the wrong pony here. It kills me to see this and that True Heroes garbage getting HALF and isle plus an end cap at my local TRU and Joes get 2 feet of an isle. Even the worst Retalaiation merch was better than this joke.

So you want the armed forces to back a line that has had ninjas, aliens, laser guns, and a head cladded in metal terrorist? Yep that says "Come on in North Korea"

I want the armed forces to back a line that doesnt look like crap. Bbi 20th Cent, Jsi were all good candidates.

What I was thinking. The street tank might be worth trying a custom with. The rest of their stuff is not for me.

The figures aren't impressive, but you know, they come with accessories that are much better than GI Joes, so who cares? Just buy Joes, and use the accessories and eat the loss from buying 5 Poa figures. (or do what I do, and put them on your roof) |

There was another line a few years back that I believe was officially licensed by the military. I recall them being the suck, too. |

Nothing so special for me and just don't have time to get those for my collection but I do like the new figures in 3.75" scale most based on tv shows and movies like few based on back to the future, predator and rocketeer
