I would NEVER pay $0.02 for this ....
I know a lot of collector type people, NONE have expressed anything in the way of interest in these... |

Yeah, the Marvel and DC lines are clearly launching with the potential to appeal to more casual collectors, who just might see a major character they like or remember and think about collecting the line because of it. SE is the only release in this line that might do that so far. And the 1985 SE would've probably done a better job of that.
Just look at the greatest character poll. We're getting #23, #1, #11 and #69. Of course adding in that you're getting no villains, no females, no swivel-arms, only 1982 figures with their inferior body sculpts, and 2 of them are almost identical greenshirts, it's even a worse selection. Besides the obviously popular villains, there's no Duke, Flint, LJ, Scarlett, Roadblock, Gung-Ho, Hawk, Shipwreck, Beach-Head, Low-Light, Spirit, Falcon, Tunnel Rat, Dusty, Mutt, Alpine, Quick Kick, Jinx, Recondo, Snow Job, Leatherneck, Wet-Suit, Hit & Run, Shockwave... If the line can get past 1982, things would start looking a lot better admittedly. At this point I'm assuming they don't even intend to go beyond the O13. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/4834219-post1.html Last edited by JediJones; 05-20-2015 at 04:36 PM.. |

The video says they might do the original 9 eventually if the first 5 do well.

Which I guess means Scarlett, Grunt, Breaker, Flash and Short-Fuze in addition to the 4 on pre-order now. They don't even talk in terms of the O13, just the first 9 carded Joes? But not the Cobras. Keep in mind they did non-carded SW figures in their Jumbo line, like blue Snaggletooth, Rocket-Firing Fett, Santa Yoda, etc.
These guys don't have a clue about G.I. Joe fandom and what we focus on. |

I think this figure looks awesome and the fact they are choosing from the original figures and straight arm is awesome. The price is steep though.
They hit the nail on the head for me.

Even though this product isnt for me, it was good to see more joe products available for fans.
But the lack of a swivel arm, and the steep price, checkout was $144.92 with the cheapest shipping option, makes me wonder about thier future Last edited by stillagijoefan; 05-20-2015 at 09:43 PM.. |

I agree.
Gentle Giant seems to have just landed the license and don't really understand the line. |
