I know there was that peg warmer, battle kata RB, but I don't remember seeing that weapons system in the movie. That would have made it easy for the toy makers if everyone had that system. Pretty boring for the collectors though. Those are nice drawings, but I'm glad they didn't make everyone have that system.

Knowing that they originally planned to have Flint as the leader and then changed it is kind of a bummer.
I have defended both of the movies for not being as bad as people make them out to be, but one thing I won't defend is Paramount's choice of using Dewayne Johnson to play Roadblock. Dewayne Johnson plays "The Rock" in every movie he's in. It's like he has one genre of acting and every role he gets is just like bad karaoke. I wonder how much better Retaliation could have been if they would have stuck with Flint being the leader? Jason |

Man, this would have been awesome as a figure! Maybe a custom idea down the line...

Battle Kata, although not a terrible idea since it's natural that elite soldiers will learn from each other and mod their uniforms accordingly, missed the point of something as iconic as Captain America's uniform. If you're going for nostalgia with Joe, which one presumes you are since the property is decades old, you need something to tie their uniforms back to the era you're aligning with- assuming 80's RAH. Cap didn't have some generic battle (kata) soldier uniform. He was cap regardless of the look throughout all of the films he's been in- right colors, right homage to the various eras of the character, etc.
I've often felt that, other than Snake Eyes being a dead on look in Retaliation to his 80's persona, none of the Joes looks like they should and no characters stood out. Even in a soldier heavy film like Predator all of the soldiers stood out as unique, interesting and worth a back story of their own. I never once felt that the Predator eclipsed any of those soldiers and that was them in drab khaki's! Anyway, I think most Joe fans would agree... what both modern Joe films lacked was any familiarity to their 80's era looks... any familiarity (other than SE and maybe SS). |
