That's what I'm doing. I still prefer the Target one, but I'll have a stack behind them. Got 6 mainline ordered, and prob get 3 more somewhere at some point. 3 rows with the Target troopers and their armbands on in front. Have 2 more of those incoming from a trade.

And, the Centurion pack Megatron works perfectly with 6 inch. As do most of the other weapons in there:

It's more because one is a licensed property and one is an original IP. With GI Joe Hasbro can do pretty much whatever they want. With Marvel or Star Wars they license those basically from Disney, so they have to get approval for everything. From what I understand it's far easier to get approval for figures that have some basis in movies, tv, games and other media than it is to put your own spin on things.

I'm very impressed with the new Zartan. Now we just need Zandar & Zarana! Go Hasbro!

Disney/Lucas/Marvel is right to not led Hasbro re-design their characters. Hasbro should consider following their lead with Hasbro-owned IPs (Mattel would be smart to think about this too).

Agreed. I got excited at the 6" Cobra Infantry and Viper and then saw the designs just appear off

Star Wars also never died, GI Joe has died multiple times, and can't expect them to stay in the 80s forever. |

I like the updated looks, keeps them fresh while maintaining the original flavor for each character(IMO). Also found one lone Gung Ho at my local Walmart, got it and went home and cancelled the PULSE order for him. And he is GREAT!
Got in my order for ZARTAN and two separate orders for a trooper so I could get two...now we wait...and #$%* Target...that is all

CC is awesome but I was surprised how much I liked GH because I didn’t have a fondness for the character. The fig is big and has a ton of great weapons. Even he and RB share the same body I haven’t fiddled with RB since I got him but I pose GH a lot.
