Jazwares is nowhere on the package, so...no.
What I'm seeing is Hasbro designers taking some small cues from things like Overwatch and to a lesser extent Fortnite the same way they took cues from things like Predator and Aliens for some of the PoC stuff. It's a modern take. All the characters are immediately recognizable but they aren't "classic" versions. GI Joe is "Military Fantasy." It's never been ultra-gritty and realistic, and presenting it as a bit "sci-fi" makes sense unless you want GI Joe perpetually stuck in the 80's (which is a perfectly fine opinion to have, it's just not likely to have much chance of enticing new collectors, particularly those that didn't even exist in that decade). |

Scarlett looks great! A total winner of Best of Show: Toy Fair 2020.
I like the update, would I have love the classic look more, sure, but this really nice. I'm glad they didn't go more "real world" military, the best part of Joe is the futuristic elements, I've never like the more real world interpretations. |

At this point, I am expecting Destro with the Gold mask and a completely new version of Storm Shadow.

Or less sarcastically probably because Hasbro's designers are taking design cues from things like Overwatch for a modern reboot of the GI Joe line. |

I loved SE from the moment I saw him, Scarlett is pretty cool but I could have used for weapons, Block is kind of meh, especially the giant tuning fork they are trying to pass off as Ma-Deuce.

Like most people, I was hoping for direct translations of their original ARAH designs. But that being said, these designs are growing on me. I especially like Scarlett's design, and I adore the fact that they gave her freckles! *SQUEEEE*
Looking forward to more reveals this weekend.

I like it. But I don't. Hmmm... going to have to digest this a little bit.
I have always thought that GIJoe needed to fully embrace the Sci-Fi Military Fantasy that it is. Don't get too close to gritty realism. I am okay with fake weapons, moving away from realistic guns, etc. And GIJoe has ALWAYS been bright, colorful and goofy-looking (for lack of a better word). Considering all that, these designs are great representations of GIJoe. Still... sometime leaves me feeling that they overstepped just a little bit. And Roadblock is not HUGE. So I'm bummed about that. I want my Marvel Comics version of Roadblock - but it looks like I'm never going to get it. |
