Hah! Brings me back to the crazy stories I used to play as a kid, except whenever I would mix different kinds of action figures together instead of teaming up there would be a bloodbath between the different franchises.

Jason
They are "limited" by having a lazy non-Joe fan designer. The "rationale" was that he was lighting up that day he made the decision to give us O-face Duke again.

EDIT:

OK. I'm sorry. I'm still in anger stage when it comes to this. I will try to leave this dude alone from now on.

I have been trying for years. Truly, I have.

The kids in my family were front-of-mind for me on all of this when the line was announced and was confirmed NOT to be o-ring. I have wanted to be able to hand out "ultimates" for Duke and Scarlett for years now and I hoped for those two to come out well, above all else.

What I REALLY, REALLY wanted, was to be able to walk my kids into a Wal-Mart and just "accidentally dscover" these new Joes on the pegs and let them shop the way I did when I was a kid. That was, to put it mildly, a pipe dream.

So now that the single-carded figures are shown to be exclusively second-rate repacks and/or sloppy kitbashes with questionable parts choices (RB's lower arms and legs, never liked the torso they used for Scarlett, screw that CC torso, etc.), they screwed up the FANG and sculpted a weird pilot, and I didn't really need to get them a retro HISS when they already have a POC HISS, and they already have the 50th AWE Striker...

There is nothing to support here for me. I was going to buy a bit of whatever I could make an excuse for and then charge hard at any new and glorious updates. I'm at a stage now where I pretty much just skip the line except for any major standouts that I can get my hands on. That means the HISS tanks, AWE Strikers, and couple of single-carded repacks I bought are all going to go back. Scarlett isn't even a standout, but I wanted to get some for the kids since the legs are at least a better build...yet I still can't even get my hands on that one.

The kids in my orbit all already have one version or another of these figures and vehicles. I can't keep waiting "one more Christmas" for this stuff. They're growing up. The GI Joe Christmas I was hoping to give them was starting to look very, very lame so I am making a course correction.

I used to buy modern Joes for my nephews around the Retaliation line. They are the ONLY kids in their community who know what Joe is. I bought my step daughter many 25th Joes too. It's important for us to do so. If our kids aren't into the brand what kids will be? Sadly kids don't stay kids forever (I don't like punky teens). I'm glad my guys out grew these figures though.

Being new to the modern figures I totally agree with this. The old O ring guys had a backpack, gun and maybe something else you could lose. But they all were flexible and had their harnesses, grenades, holsters molded into the bodies. The new storm shadow came with so much gear, and some so TINY, I can't imagine a kid not instantly losing all of it. I just tossed it in a bag never to be opened again.

My older kids aren't interested in action figures but my 3 year old is into them. So I bought him some generic army set from amazon that came with a tank, helicopter, watch tower and maybe 3 guys and gear for $20. Like the old joes, these are cheap and tough but lack the detail a collector like me cares about. They are totally bland but they take a beating. I imagine that if he stays interested I'll transition him when he gets older but he can get his own stuff. Though I did "borrow" the watchtower from his set

It's really hard to get your kids to like the stuff you're passionate about but I hope it works out and I think it's great to keep trying, I know I will.
You seem pretty sure of your opinion already, but for whatever it's worth, my kids have been playing with modern-era Joes for the past 5 years. To date, I believe the only casualties have been a 25th Stalker hand breaking off at the swivel wrist, a Retaliation Scarlett's leg snapping at the knee, and a couple of 1:18 Marvel figures having arms break (She-Hulk, Jubilee, and maybe one other one).

There have been accessories lost, absolutely. But not that many. That's not so different from when we were kids. Anyone still have an original Heavy Metal mic? Serpentor daggers aren't cheap, either. This isn't a new phenomenon.

I agree the throwing stars and whatever those little "F-shaped" things are that came with Storm Shadow were almost designed to be lost, but these modern figures are absolutely suitable for play by kids. It's the only reason I buy them.
