Here's a funny old Youtube video featuring the song. Story is some World of Warcraft player died in the real world so their clan held a WoW memorial and announced it to the community. Well, a rival clan easily got word of it and you can guess what happened. Ambushed and slaughtered to the last avatar. LOL.

I gonna have to disagree with you Ozzie. Yes, these are old parts, but I still think these parts are some of the best 4" ME Joe parts around. I know the Retro Stalker is a great build, but I feel it's just a little too buff. I am not a Star Wars collector, but I almost feel like the Retro Stalker is a SW Power of the Force figure, when compared to the POC ME line. Yes, that is a bit of an exaggeration, but that is what the new build feels like to me.
I'm glad that we are getting 4" figures, but I'm sad to see the POC/30th/50th builds go. In the Full Force Podcast weekly podcast last weekend, Chris almost all but said that the POC molds are no more. He didn't outright say it, but it almost slipped out that there is no access to those molds ever again. I guess I will have to get used to the new Stalker Retro build, or just keep making customs out of the ME parts I have. I like the new "Rip It" figure as it has some China POC parts, but I'm not too optimistic about the W5 CO. I hope it's a CV CO, but it probably will be a Retro CT. I'm still trying to decide if that figure is as bad as O-face Duke.

I see your Where Eagles Dare and raise you one Hybrid Moments! Sorry didn't think the mods would approve of me posting the actually end credits scene but the song was very well chosen. As for the blue Hiss I don't really feely the need to have it. If I can grab one on Pulse later on for retail with free shipping I might grab it but I'm not going out of my way out for it.

Ideally, we'll get a variety of body-types: lean, bulky, taller, shorter, etc.

It makes me curious what molds Hasbro has now. It sounds like they scrapped the existing molds in China when moving production to Vietnam, but the HISS 3 seems to indicate they kept some of them...unless the HISS 3 was produced in China before the move. Could be this isn't a wholesale move and they're still gonna produce some products in China.
Anyone remember the TRU Joe Moray from the 2000s? IIRC, that thing was produced in Rhode Island (which was why it was $50-some dollars even then), and I've often wondered if that was the last GI Joe item produced in America and if Hasbro still builds anything at all in the States.

Here is a pic of the back of the box:
Looks like it was made in Vietnam. So they were able to transfer over, or reproduce the POC CT torso and upper arms, but that seems about it. Too bad they couldn't have done that for all of that figure, and all of the Shock trooper parts too.
